Due to growth of economic activity, population and post-conflict reconstruction in emerging markets, there is a rapid increase in demand for better supply of water, power, transportation, waste management and other services. On the other hand, the industry in developing markets is challenged by tightening regulations and the need for innovative solutions for optimization, renovation and evolution.
