Next Steps • Analyze Mexico water industry • Customers: Players, private vs. government ownership, size of market, types of facilities (drinking/ wastewater/ bottling/ industrial) • Competitors: Current chemical suppliers, structure of distribution, structure of manufacturing
Next Steps (contd) • Substitute products: filtration, ozonation, other technologies • Government: Environmental regulation, privatization? • Interviews with relevant people • Chemical company • Industrial water treatment company • Government contacts
