Alternatives present appealing case
Alternative energy and water industries present an appealing opportunity for investors, according to RepuTex, which is anticipating global revenue increases in the sectors of 610 per cent within 12 years.
The research firm has launched a Future Energy Index Series to be used as a performance measure for growth energy themes such as alternative energy, water and nuclear and consists of seven indexes across global and Asian equity markets.
Commenting on the demand for alternative energy, RepuTex head of research Hugh Grossman said industries such as solar, nuclear and water are attractive in their own right, but the flow-on impact of the demand on upstream suppliers has been relatively overlooked.
“High demand for upstream supply chain services, coupled with high barriers to entry due to technology and knowledge constraints, plus strong pricing power, make these industries a very appealing investment case,” he said.
