The value added of water collection, treatment, and supply in Spain showed a mixed trend between 2013 and 2023. Initial growth in the early 2010s was followed by fluctuations, including notable dips such as in 2020 due to a 15.27% decline. However, the sector recovered with a strong 22.9% increase in 2021 and continued positive growth trends in subsequent years.
By 2023, the value stood at €5.39 billion, reflecting a sustainable upward trend. The average annual growth rate over the past five years (2018-2023) was estimated at 1.95%.
