Given that much of Canada's metals production is exported, we expect the country's economic exposure to both the US and Mexico to underpin the industry's growth through 2018. Increasing manufacturing and industrial activity in both countries should help drive demand for metal inputs. Furthermore, a weaker Canadian dollar against the US dollar should provide upside for Canadian metals exporters.

Saudi Arabia has solidified its position as a major player in the global water infrastructure market, as it has begun to alleviate the pressure on its limited water resources caused by economic and population growth. However, water shortages could still occur, and the effects of industrial over-consumption will continue to intensify. In addition to the basic provision of water services to the public, an expansionary economic policy, active construction sector and water intensive operational developments in the oil and gas industry create an increased urgency. In order to cater for this, the government must ramp up its already-impressive project pipeline for the sector.

Despite boasting rich mineral deposits, a mining boom is unlikely to catch up with Russia anytime soon. A growing number of domestic miners will be forced to step the brakes on investment as mineral prices continue to trend lower, while foreign investors struggle to establish a foothold due to restrictive regulations.

The Russian metals sector will face headwinds over coming quarters as European and US demand remains weak and global oversupply weighs on metal prices. We expect production of key metals to remain modest, with company investment plans focusing on improving plant efficiency and reducing costs rather than building new plants or expanding production capacity. Despite weak growth, Russia will remain one of the world's largest producers of base and industrial metals including nickel, steel and aluminium.

With the boom years over and our expectation for Chinese metal demand growth to slow, we expect Brazil's mining sector to see slower average growth rates through 2018 compared with previous years. The country's large untapped reserves and relatively small mining sector relative to the larger Brazilian economy will allow for growth opportunities though, and we expect production gains for both domestic and foreign producers. Iron ore will drive sector investment, but both base metals and gold will see continued interest.

Zambia's mining sector is set to continue on a positive trajectory over our forecast period to 2018. Copper is the mainstay of the mining sector, and we expect solid growth in output as the country's main producers forge ahead with expansion plans. Growing coal production will contribute to mining sector growth over coming years, as strong domestic demand for the fuel incentivizes increased mine output.

We expect Oman's water sector to remain active for the duration of our five-year forecast period to 2018, with a series of projects across production, distribution and wastewater treatment likely to keep investors interested in this stable market in the Middle East. Muscat faces a challenge in the form of rising demand outstripping existing supply; and increased production combined with network efficiency savings are likely to be a key area of focus for the authorities. Water shortages highlight the desert country's major challenge. Our forecast for water consumption to spike in 2014 - with growth of 13.5% - does not bode well for sector.

Growth in the Polish mining sector will be modest and predominantly driven by increased coal output. Copper output will struggle as falling copper ore grades and weak prices are set to weigh on growth. Nevertheless, the rate of growth we forecast indicates that the country will remain one of the most significant players in the European coal, silver and copper markets.
