Market Overview
Cost-effective Solutions to Drive the Indian Water and Wastewater Services Market
The Indian water and wastewater services market is expected to witness a higher growth with the majority of end-user industries expanding the existing systems and installing new waterworks to cater to operational requirements and the mounting pressure from government legislation to reduce environmental pollution. Water has become a crucial commodity, especially for industrial and commercial use. Quality requirements, coupled with stringent wastewater discharge regulations, pose a significant challenge to end-user industries. “The growth in the number of wastewater recycle and reuse facilities, demineralization plants, and RO-based water treatment plants, which require constant scheduled checks and services to operate optimally, have pushed the market for plant management services significantly,” states the analyst of this research service. The water and wastewater services market is split across many types of service contracts including annual maintenance contract (AMC) and operation and maintenance (O&M) contract. The market for other contracts is small, as the liability of service providers in these types of contracts is limited.
However, there is competition within market between the major and smaller participants. Small unorganized companies in the market continue to make their presence felt by using pricing as a predominant weapon, providing AMCs for as little as INR 5,000 (approximately $108). Unorganized service providers also derive the benefits of being local participants by saving on taxes. Thus, unorganized small service providers account for a large portion of the AMC market. “The small players are able to provide services at such low rates because they provide low-grade spares and chemicals, which are much cheaper when compared to the branded ones,” observes the analyst. “Regional advantage coupled with cheap labor and tax eviction methods further help to provide services at low costs.”
To compete with unorganized companies, the major market participants need to form strategic alliances with vendors of spares, chemicals, and equipment. Furthermore, they can leverage the existing relationships with clients that have procured products or spares, as clients seek a single point of contact for all concerns. Only a few companies offer the entire range of services contract categories. This presents a bright opportunity for established companies to provide bundled services contracts such as O&M and audit and inspection (A&I) services. Another key opportunity lies in the training services market, which is being offered by a handful of companies. The training services market has the potential to develop as a key area within the services market. Overall, with end-user industries looking for better and cost-effective methods to take care of the water and wastewater treatment plants, the Indian water and wastewater services market has a scope for growth.
