Global Water Trading Market: Growth Factors

The growth of the global water trading market is due to the high demand of clean water. Water management has become a big problem owing to the increase in population and economic development across the globe. Hence, there is a shortage in the supply of fresh, clean, and healthy water. Additionally, there has been an increase in the mortality rate owing to waterborne diseases and a lack of capital to find a solution for this problem. These reasons have raised the global demand for the water trading market. The global water trading market is expanding in regions where there is ample fresh and clean water supply along with huge capital.

Such regions are making huge profits in water trading by exporting water to other nations. The major restraint to market growth is the transportation cost involved in transporting the water to the buyer, along with the high cost involved in the infrastructure. Other barriers involve water rights, legal constraints, and social and political barriers.
