Rainwater harvesting systems are infrastructure designed to collect, store, and distribute rainwater for various purposes, such as irrigation, landscaping, and domestic use. These are utilized primarily for sustainable water management to alleviate strain on traditional water sources and mitigate stormwater runoff, contributing to conservation efforts.
The main types of rainwater harvesting systems are roof rainwater collection, surface rainwater collection, and hybrid rainwater collection. Roof rainwater collection involves capturing and directing rainfall from building roofs into storage units, utilizing gutters and downspouts for efficient water channeling. The components include tanks, filtration systems, pumps, distribution systems, which are installed in new construction, and retrofit types for above-ground and underground harvesting methods. Several applications include residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, public, and municipal.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs have impacted the rainwater harvesting systems market by increasing costs of imported tanks, filtration units, pumps, and piping materials used in system installations. Residential and commercial applications are most affected, particularly in asia pacific and north america where component imports are significant. Higher system costs have slowed adoption in price sensitive retrofit projects. At the same time, tariffs are encouraging local manufacturing of storage tanks and filtration systems, strengthening regional supply chains and supporting domestic water infrastructure development.

The rainwater harvesting systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.07 billion in 2025 to $2.2 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to water scarcity concerns, rising urban population, increasing irrigation demand, traditional water supply limitations, early sustainability initiatives.
The rainwater harvesting systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.0%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart city infrastructure investments, stricter water conservation regulations, growth in climate resilient construction, rising agricultural water demand, increased adoption of sustainable building practices. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of rooftop rainwater collection, increased use of modular storage tanks, rising integration with green infrastructure, higher demand for low cost retrofit systems, expansion of decentralized water management.
The rising water scarcity is expected to propel the growth of the rainwater harvesting systems market. Water scarcity is the condition where the demand exceeds the available supply, leading to insufficient freshwater resources to meet a specific area's human and environmental needs. Rising water scarcity is driven by increasing global demand, climate change, population growth, and inadequate water management practices. Rainwater harvesting systems address growing water scarcity by substantially augmenting water availability, aiding in replenishing local aquifers, mitigating urban flooding, and guaranteeing water access in areas prone to water scarcity. For instance, in May 2023, according to the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a France-based specialized agency of the United Nations, 2 billion people lack safe drinking water (26% of the global population), and 3.6 billion lack proper sanitation (46%). Moreover, the urban population facing water scarcity will reach 1.7 to 2.4 billion people in 2050. Therefore, rising water scarcity is driving the growth of the rainwater harvesting systems market.
Major companies operating in the rainwater harvesting systems market are increasing their focus on developing advanced solutions and products, such as new residential rainwater harvesting systems, to gain a competitive edge in the market. These systems are designed to capture and store rainwater from rooftops or other surfaces for later use in domestic applications, such as drinking, washing, and bathing, and typically consist of collection surfaces, conveyance systems, storage volumes, and distribution systems. For instance, in February 2023, Stormsaver Ltd., a UK-based company specializing in rainwater harvesting, launched two new residential rainwater harvesting systems. This system features a variety of capacities, such as an internal break tank for water safety, a Type AB air gap for preventing backflow, an integrated twin booster set for maintaining water pressure, and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) construction for durability. These technological developments enhance usability and compliance and contribute to water conservation, cost savings, and environmental sustainability in the rainwater harvesting systems market, making them attractive for residential applications.
In July 2023, Oldcastle Infrastructure Inc., a US-based building material company, acquired Hydro International Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition brings enhanced product breadth, market expertise, and innovation potential, significantly strengthening Oldcastle's position in providing comprehensive rainwater harvesting solutions and addressing critical water treatment needs in the market. Hydro International Ltd. is a UK-based company that provides water management solutions, including rainwater harvesting and storage systems.
