About the German water market
Germany is one of Europe’s largest and most advanced water and
wastewater markets, where climate pressures, ageing infrastructure and
increasingly stringent requirements are creating strong demand for
investment and innovation. The severe floods in western Germany in 2021
together with recurring drought and low-water periods since 2018 have
highlighted the need for greater resilience across the sector. National
and regional priorities are driving continued investment in water
security, network upgrades and more efficient wastewater solutions.
