GlobalData is currently tracking water and sewage construction projects with a total value of $362.4 billion, which includes all projects from the early stages of pre-planning (announcement and study) through to the execution stage. The Middle East & Africa account for the largest share of pipeline value, of water and sewage construction projects, reflecting the region’s increasing dependence on the desalination of seawater, and the recycling of wastewater, for its supply of potable water. The pipeline of projects currently in execution contributes to the highest value followed by pre-execution, planning, and pre-planning. The Projects in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries constitute a significant majority of the MEA’s pipeline, and the Asia-Pacific region records the second-highest value pipeline of water and sewage projects, followed by the Americas and Europe.
