Water Infrastructure Repair Technologies Global Market Report 2024

The water infrastructure repair technologies market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $74.39 billion in 2023 to $80.74 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The historic period's growth can be attributed to aging infrastructure, urbanization, environmental concerns, water scarcity, and natural disasters.

The water infrastructure repair technologies market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $109.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.0%. The projected growth in the forecast period is driven by the development of smart infrastructure, a shift towards decentralized water systems, increased resilience against cyber threats, growing private sector investments, and evolving regulatory frameworks. Key trends anticipated during this period include the adoption of remote inspection technologies, the use of modular infrastructure, the implementation of hybrid infrastructure approaches, the rise of resilience certification, and the advancement of energy harvesting technologies.

The water infrastructure repair technologies market is being propelled by the aging water infrastructure. Aging water infrastructure encompasses the development of any water resources, storage, irrigation, or federal agency project that is over 75 years old. These aging water infrastructures are responsible for leaking billions of gallons of potable water annually. To avert future water shortages, water utilities must continuously modernize and enhance their systems. Water infrastructure repair technologies are crucial for inspecting, identifying critical faults, and maintaining vital pipeline infrastructure. For instance, according to the report card for America’s infrastructure 2021, American water systems have 2.2 million miles of aging water pipes, resulting in a loss of 6 billion gallons of treated water daily due to water main breaks occurring every two minutes. Consequently, the aging water infrastructure is a key driver of the water infrastructure repair technologies market.

The increase in population is indeed a significant driver for the water infrastructure repair technologies market. As the global population grows, the demand for reliable and efficient water supply systems increases. This demand is further amplified by the need to foster healthier living conditions and support sustainable urban development. The anticipated rise of nearly 2 billion individuals in the next 30 years, as projected by the United Nations, underscores the importance of water infrastructure repair technologies in meeting the evolving needs of growing populations. Demographic shifts, such as an aging population and varying growth rates across different regions, further emphasize the necessity of robust water infrastructure to support communities worldwide.

Innovative water technologies are emerging as a prominent trend within the water infrastructure repair technologies market. Leading companies in this sector are introducing advanced solutions, including products designed for rapid installation. For instance, in March 2022, NORMA Group, a German-based company in the machine industry, unveiled the NORMA MARLIN PN16, integrating QuickTight technology within a compression fitting product. This innovation significantly reduces installation time for customers, slashing it by approximately 50%. Featuring a specialized lip gasket, this system facilitates the connection of two water lines. The NORMA MARLIN PN16 compression fitting finds applications in various areas such as drinking water installations, irrigation, sanitary systems, and other relevant fields, representing a notable advancement in water infrastructure repair technologies.

Prominent entities within the water infrastructure repair technologies market are directing their efforts toward introducing innovative products, such as comprehensive end-to-end solutions, aimed at combating water loss. An end-to-end solution refers to a holistic and integrated approach that tackles all stages or facets of a specific process or issue. For instance, in January 2023, FIDO Tech Ltd., a tech innovation firm headquartered in the UK and specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) applications for water conservation, unveiled a groundbreaking end-to-end solution. This solution incorporates AI-powered leak detection and monitoring capabilities, providing utilities with a cost-effective and scalable method to diminish water loss. FIDO Direct seamlessly integrates with existing systems while assuring outcomes through a fixed-fee service, significantly contributing to the advancement of water infrastructure repair technologies aimed at addressing the crucial challenge of water loss.

In August 2022, Aliaxis SA, a Belgium-centered producer of plastic piping systems, completed the acquisition of Aquarius Spectrum for an undisclosed sum. This strategic move was intended to enhance Aliaxis SA's array of solutions to address pressing water-related issues, including sustainable water management and robust water infrastructure. Aquarius Spectrum, an Israeli tech firm, specializes in a cutting-edge leak detection system utilizing acoustic sensors and sophisticated analytical engines designed to identify water leaks.
