Shaping the conversation on the global water infrastructure sector

The global water market is expected to witness strong growth of $430 billion by the end of 2030. There is an increasing focus on water conservation, treatment technologies, and smart water management.

In its endeavor to achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all, Saudi Arabia is propelling forward with an ambitious mission to develop $80 billion worth of water projects. The aim is to reshape the water sector and set a benchmark for global nations grappling with water scarcity.

The National Water Strategy 2030 is the Kingdom’s commitment to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6. Investments in clean water, combined with adequate sanitation are underway to effectively address water security challenges and transform the water sector.
