The global smart water management market size reached USD 19.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 46.7 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 9.62% during 2025-2033.
Smart water management (SWM) refers to an information and communication technology (ICT) solution that collects, shares and analyzes real-time data from water networks. It uses digital meters, sensors, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems and geographic information system (GIS) to communicate and interact with wastewater systems. They detect leaks, minimize energy usage, conserve water, predict equipment failure and ensure regulatory compliance. SWM systems are also integrated with advanced pressure management, advanced analytics, meter data management, residential water efficiency and smart irrigation management systems for enhanced operational efficiency.
The increasing demand for efficient wastewater management solutions across the globe represents one of the key factors driving the growth of the market. With the increasing pollution, scarcity of water and climate volatility, there is a rising requirement for freshwater supplies to meet the needs of the growing population. In line with this, the increasing undertaking of smart city initiatives, especially in the developing countries, is also contributing to the market growth. Furthermore, various technological advancements, such as the integration of connected devices with cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These solutions offer remote monitoring, detection of leaks and improved network visibility and irrigation management. Service providers are also developing two-way communication systems for time-based synchronized meter readings and remote valve shut-off facilities. Other factors, including the implementation of favorable government policies to promote sustainable development, along with rapid upgradation of the existing water infrastructure, are anticipated to drive the market further.
