Policies for Onshore Manufacturing to Drive Water Management Spend
Manufacturing industries represent a significant 45% share of planned industrial water spend, or US$175.3 billion, fueled by high-growth sectors such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and beverages, according to Bluefield¡¯s report.
¡°Boosted by government policies such as the Inflation Reduction Act and the CHIPS Act, we expect to see an increase in water management spend for both new greenfield developments as well as industrial facility expansions,¡± says Walsh.
Semiconductor manufacturers are grappling with higher water demand to meet expanding production. In addition to large water volume needs, water quality is critical at semiconductor facilities as ultrapure water is used for their production processes, ¡°The semiconductor industry¡¯s distinct needs for ultrapure water presents opportunities for specialized equipment and service providers. Managing contaminants has become a significant challenge, resulting in increased investments in advanced water treatment technologies,¡± according to Walsh.
Energy Transition to Alter Industrial Water Opportunities
The U.S. & Canada¡¯s energy transition to less carbon intensive power generation, along with stricter environmental regulations, are also reshaping water management opportunities for extractive industries, such as oil & gas, coal power generation, and mining.
We are seeing escalating demand for critical metals (lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper) used in electric vehicles and renewable technologies. Lithium extraction, a water-intensive process, raises significant concerns for water resource management, as almost 80% of the global lithium supply is now allocated for batteries. These developments highlight the critical need for efficient water management solutions to sustain the expanding global battery supply chain without compromising water resources?.
Even amid the energy transition, traditional oil & gas extraction remains a critical industry, set to contribute US$186.5 billion to industrial water management through the end of the decade, representing 48% of the forecasted industrial water expenditure and highlights significant opportunities for midstream water companies like Select Water and Aris Water Management.
Company Strategies Respond to Evolving Landscape
Companies are leveraging M&A to expand their industrial water portfolios and capitalize on growing demand. Notable recent acquisitions, including mega-deals (Veolia acquiring Suez and Xylem acquiring Evoqua), will reshape the competitive landscape. This will also create new opportunities for smaller players offering more agile approaches to water and wastewater management, including deploying innovative technologies and offering business models that offload water management risk and drive greater operational efficiency.
¡°These shifts in demand highlight an optimistic and transformative period for industrial water markets,¡± says Walsh. ¡°The convergence of advanced technologies, changing business models, and high-stakes mergers is driving a competitive realignment, positioning the industrial water sector for significant growth and innovation.¡±
