The worldwide utilities market in 2026 is becoming more technology-intensive but not more homogeneous. Electricity, water, natural gas, waste-disposal, and heat providers face different challenges relating to capacity expansion, asset renewal, efficiency improvement, resilience, and environmental transition.
