Novo marco legal do saneamento: mapeamento da demanda industrial

Abstract

On July 15, 2020, Law No. 14,026 was enacted, which promoted the reform of the legal framework for sanitation in Brazil, stipulating that, by 2033, 99% of the Brazilian population will have access to treated water and 90% to sewage collection and treatment. In addition, it established that the water distribution loss rate should be reduced from the current 40% to 25% in the same period. The targets must be met by service providers, public or private, and it is estimated that large volumes of investments will occur during this period. The Basic Sanitation National Plan predicts that investments may reach approximately R$ 415 billion by 2033. Given this volume of demand, BNDES analyzed the segment from a systemic perspective, mapping out the demand for industrial goods, specifically piping, equipment and chemicals. The objective is to allow these industries to capture the best opportunities thanks to greater demand predictability. Furthermore, it is understood that making this analysis available will also benefit service providers, given that the predictability of total demand can induce investments that minimize possible bottlenecks in the industrial supply of these items.
