Digital Water Solution Market Report 2026

The digital water solution market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.24 billion in 2025 to $1.41 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to manual monitoring of water networks, increasing water scarcity concerns, adoption of basic automation in utilities, rising demand for efficient resource utilization, growth of water infrastructure.

The digital water solution market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.39 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of smart water metering, adoption of digital analytics platforms, investment in water asset management solutions, integration of advanced network management systems, focus on sustainable and resilient water operations. Major trends in the forecast period include implementation of iot-enabled monitoring devices, ai-powered predictive maintenance for water infrastructure, cloud-based water management solutions, data-driven decision making for water resource optimization, integration of smart sensors with utility operations.

The increasing need to manage limited water resources is expected to drive the growth of the digital water solutions market in the future. Limited water resources occur when the demand for water exceeds its availability. Digital solutions play a crucial role in optimizing water distribution and reducing wastage through automated water infrastructure, including smart irrigation systems and leak detection technologies. For example, the United Nations Children's Fund estimates that by 2030, severe water scarcity could displace approximately 700 million people, and by 2040, one in four children globally may live in areas with extremely high water stress. Additionally, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, about 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and the urban population facing water scarcity is expected to rise to 2.4 billion by 2050. Hence, the increasing demand for managing scarce water resources is fueling the growth of the digital water solutions market.

Leading companies in the digital water solutions industry are prioritizing the integration of innovative technologies into water treatment solutions to better address market needs. For instance, AquiSense, a US-based provider of water treatment and disinfection solutions, introduced the PearlAqua Deca 30C water disinfection system in April 2023. This system is suitable for various applications, including commercial and industrial water purification, food and beverage processing, and home use. Using UV-C LED technology, the PearlAqua Deca 30C achieves a 99.99% pathogen elimination rate at a flow rate of four gallons per minute (15 liters per minute). It offers features such as automatic on-and-off switching, programmable alarm outputs, and dynamic power regulation.

In December 2023, Siemens, a Germany-based automation company, acquired BuntPlanet to enhance its AI portfolio and expand its capabilities in the water sector. BuntPlanet, based in Spain, specializes in providing artificial intelligence and digital solutions for water management. This strategic acquisition strengthens Siemens' position in the market and creates growth opportunities in the water management sector.
