While the smart water meter market had gained momentum in the years before the COVID-19 pandemic, a post-pandemic focus on improving infrastructure and resiliency is set to accelerate the adoption of many types of smart water systems further. Smart meters are the main focus of investment, but a wide array of solutions is being developed to address all aspects of water-related issues in cities and communities. For example, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors are being used to monitor treated water supply, wastewater treatment, and warn of flooding from severe storms.
These solutions are seeing increased adoption at a time when cities and water utilities are recognizing how climate change will exacerbate water challenges. Losses of treated water through leakage and theft not only impact profitability today, but also endanger the ability to meet future water demands in regions undergoing aridification. Smart water meters and other IoT sensors inside the water distribution system can help identify the sources of non-revenue water loss-and see them remedied in days or weeks rather than months or years.
This ‘Guidehouse Insights market forecast for smart water systems’ explores the market issues surrounding a wide array of IoT-based water technologies. It includes forecasts for smart water meters, communications infrastructure, water networking monitoring and control, and data management and analytics, with global unit deployment numbers and revenue projections as well as forecasts for individual geographic regions.
