Resum

This paper studies the dynamics of concentration in the Spanish market for the provision of urban water service by private contract operators in the 2000-2020 period. The market is highly concentrated. Concentration increased until 2007, at which point it started to decline when Law 30/2007 on Public Sector Contracts and Organic Law 8/2007 on Politi-cal Party Financing were passed; before rising again from 2016 onwards. This latter trend results from strategic behaviour by the two leading operators, acquiring smaller compa-nies with a notable presence in some regional markets. Further legislative reforms aimed at safeguarding space for competition are thus proposed.
