Water is a limited resource – yet demand keeps growing. At the same time, climate change greatly affects the availability and quality of clean water through droughts and floods.
Given that water plays a central role in food production, growing demand for food from growing populations means a greater need for water. Urbanisation also drives demand. In emerging economies, millions of people are moving to the cities, and their clean water needs are only increasing.
Water plays a vital role in the production of, for example, clothing, paper, and – in an ultra-clean form – smartphones. Furthermore, there is strong demand for water infrastructure: this includes pipes, pumps, and purification and wastewater treatment plants.
Water is a billion-dollar growth market, and we believe it is likely to remain so for many decades. Accordingly, we see this area as an exciting global investment opportunity.
