The water industry closed out 2023 with 340 deals according to Bluefield. While the number of water M&A deals has dropped off a bit over the last few years, there were still several notable billion-dollar deals closed in 2023. A few of them include: Xylem acquiring Evoqua Water Technologies, and Solenis acquiring Diversey. #WaterMA From 2020 to 2021, there was a large rise in water M&A deals due to a number of factors including, "a focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, federal infrastructure legislation, and available investment capital." - Bluefield's President & CEO Reese Tisdale. The first half of 2023 saw a decline in water deals because of market "externalities including recession concerns, rising cost of capital, and general economic uncertainty." https://hubs.ly/Q02gQMjd0 Keep up to date on water deal flow through our Water M&A/Company Strategies service: https://hubs.ly/Q02gQpJm0 Want to be notified about the most recent water deals straight to your inbox?

Quick reminder here from our Founder and CEO, Skip Blackburn, how important it is to jump on opportunities early and get the capture process going. #capturemanagement #governmentcontracting #CaptureExec

I've said it many times, but I'll say it again - the sooner you realize you are going to lose, the sooner you need to stop chasing the deal!! Every day we continue to spend pre-B&P money on deals we can't win. You need a better Capture software solution that will help you see bad deals faster - join our BIT Solutions' CazptureExec Software family to find out how!! #bitsolutionsllc #captureexec #samgovtracker #govcon

New market entrants, large-scale mergers, and an evolving policy landscape are fueling M&A activity for investor-owned utilities in water. Currently, investor-owned utilities (publicly traded, #privateequity backed, and privately-owned) provide water and #wastewater services to around 5% of the U.S. population. In a market dominated by American Water, mergers between Veolia and SUEZ as well as SouthWest Water and Corix (now Nexus Water Group), have reshaped the next tier of competition. A host of relatively new market entrants, including NW Natural and Central States Water Resources, are incrementally strengthening their multi-state positions.
