Smart Water Management Market Report 2025

This Smart Water Management report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The smart toys market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $20.85 billion in 2024 to $25.24 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging water infrastructure, increased awareness and public demand for efficient water management, increased urbanization and smart city initiatives, rising demand for a significant reduction in loss due to nonrevenue water, increased awareness about water wastage.

The smart toys market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $56.22 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing investment in smart cities, increasing adoption of smart water management systems, funding and incentives, climate change impact, remote monitoring and control. Major trends in the forecast period include artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ml), internet of things (iota) and connectivity, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), cloud-based solutions, remote sensing and satellite technology.

The anticipated increase in demand for clean water, driven by the expanding global population, is expected to be a key factor propelling the growth of the smart water management market. With a growing population, there will be a heightened need for water across domestic, industrial, agricultural, and municipal sectors. The significance of clean water for health, food security, and nutrition has become particularly apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Smart water management systems are poised to play a crucial role in responding to these challenges by identifying vulnerable areas, such as food value chains and critical locations, and designing targeted interventions. For instance, according to a report by IntechOpen, the world's population is projected to reach 8.6 billion by 2030 and 9.8 billion by 2050. The UN World Water Development Report highlights that global water demand is expected to grow by 1% annually, resulting in a 20 to 30% increase by the end of 2050, driven by rising demand from domestic and industrial sectors.

Growing concerns over water scarcity are anticipated to further boost the smart water management market. Water scarcity, characterized by insufficient fresh, clean water to meet regional needs, has become a significant global issue. The awareness of water scarcity challenges is prompting various entities, including governments, municipalities, industries, and individuals, to prioritize water conservation efforts. This heightened awareness is driving the adoption of smart water management solutions to enhance water use efficiency and sustainability. According to a report by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), as of 2023, around 26% of the world's population, or approximately 2 billion people, lack access to safe drinking water. Additionally, 46% of the global population, equating to 3.6 billion people, lack proper access to well-managed sanitation facilities. Projections indicate that urban areas facing water scarcity may double by 2050, affecting 1.7 to 2.4 billion people.

Major companies in the global smart water management market are increasingly focusing on developing cutting-edge technologies, such as hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI), along with building an ecosystem of experts to scale projects aimed at populations vulnerable to environmental threats. Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure with public and private cloud services, offering greater flexibility and scalability, while AI mimics human intelligence to enable machines to learn, reason, and make data-driven decisions. For example, in March 2023, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), a US-based technology company, launched a Request for Proposals (RFP) to accelerate global water management solutions. The initiative specifically targets vulnerable populations and integrates smart technologies like IoT and AI to monitor and optimize water resources, promoting resilience in areas affected by climate change and other environmental challenges.

Major players in the smart water management market are actively developing innovative products, such as smart wastewater solutions, to cater to larger customer bases, drive increased sales, and boost revenue.
