A leading international rehabilitation company commissioned Downley Consultants to provide information on the global markets for CIPP materials and services in water and wastewater. We undertook extensive field research in the major regional markets of Europe, Asia and North America and reported on the size, growth and competitive structure of the materials and services markets in each region. A particular focus was to identify the impact of UV-cured technologies and their growth potential relative to the established thermally-cured systems. Detailed analysis of the value chain positioning of key competitors in each region was made to identify potential gaps and opportunities.
RESULT: the Client repositioned the business in two regions to take advantage of low risk growth opportunities and focused on maintaining market share in the third key region where the market is mature.
