Listen Later

This week, podcast host Reese Tisdale is joined by Boston-based Senior Analyst Amber Walsh and Barcelona-based Analyst Zineb Moumen to compare two of the world’s largest industrial water markets. With the release of Bluefield’s new industrial water forecasts and market trends analysis, they explore how the U.S. & Canada and Europe stack up across market size, growth, and opportunity.

From semiconductor fabs and data centers to food, chemicals, and power generation, Bluefield's water experts discuss the sectors driving water spend, the regulatory and incentive frameworks shaping each market, and the geographic hotspots for investment. They also examine the CAPEX vs. OPEX dynamics and how companies can position themselves for success in two very different market environments.

Key questions explored in this episode:

  • How do the U.S. & Canada and Europe industrial water markets compare in size and growth?
  • Which industrial sectors are creating the biggest water opportunities?
  • What role do regulations and incentives play in shaping industrial water investment?
  • Where are the geographic hotspots?
  • Where’s the bigger opportunity: CAPEX or OPEX?
  • How should companies position themselves for success?
