Water Collection, Treatment & Supply in the UK Industry Market Research Report Now Updated by IBISWorld

London, United Kingdom, Jan 11, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- The Water Collection, Treatment & Supply industry is highly regulated and supplies water for drinking, industrial and agricultural applications. The industry is expected to generate revenue totalling £6.6 billion in 2012-13, up by 3.1% on the previous year. Over the five years through 2012-13, revenue is projected to grow by an annualised 2.3%, supported by moderate prices growth, the gradual upward trend in UK population and housing stock, the surge of investment into water infrastructure, and volatile average rainfall. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Anthony Kelly, "the pace of industry expansion has been contained by the severity of recent recessions and the financial crisis, and the subsequent slower growth in water consumption by households and businesses." Over the next five years to 2017-18 industry revenue is expected to grow at a similar rate. Kelly adds, "the pace of industry expansion will be underpinned by improved general economic conditions and stronger demand by household and industrial consumers." The industry is expected to increase its focus on reducing greenhouse gases, with many firms adopting cogeneration electricity systems. Operators will also strive to promote responsible household water use and more environmentally friendly sources.

The Water Collection, Treatment & Supply industry has a medium level of market share concentration, with the four largest companies contributing about 35% of annual industry revenue. Major companies include Thames Water, United Utilities, Severn Trent Water and Anglian Water.
