Smart Water Management Market
Dublin, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Smart Water Management: Global Markets to 2030 ()" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global market for smart water management is expected to grow from $23.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $43.7 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.
SWM involves incorporating advanced digital instruments such as sensors, microcontrollers, and systems to improve water management through automation, real-time data analysis, and accurate monitoring. It includes IoT-enabled sensor technologies to monitor water quality and flow rates continuously. It also gives utilities information to identify leaks, contamination, or distribution network inefficiencies that may lead to wastage.
Sensor-generated data is sent to a cloud server and, after processing with the help of AI, sent to a computer for user review. The data is used further by AI-driven analytics to forecast equipment failures, optimize water use, and enhance maintenance activity scheduling. Thus, SWM provides comprehensive solutions to mitigate floods, droughts, and pressure and flow issues and enables efficient irrigation, improved water quality, and sufficient water quantity.
Market Dynamics and Drivers
The potential of SWM in the water industry is immense, particularly in addressing the challenges of water scarcity and inefficient distribution. Urban centers are experiencing a surge in water demand, necessitating intelligent solutions to prevent resource depletion and infrastructure failure. Governments and private-sector players increasingly focus on integrating smart water solutions to optimize distribution networks, reduce water loss, and enhance operational efficiency.
Countries in Asia-Pacific, such as India and China, increasingly are adopting smart water technologies to combat high levels of non-revenue water (NRW) loss, often exceeding 30% in developing nations. Similarly, in Europe, regulatory frameworks push utilities to upgrade their water networks through digital transformation, improving efficiency and sustainability. The agricultural sector also benefits from SWM, with smart irrigation systems that use real-time data to optimize water application, ensuring higher crop yields with minimal wastage.
