The water and sewage market reached a value of nearly $578.4 billion in 2021, having increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.4% since 2016. The market is expected to grow from 578.41 billion in 2021 to $852.92 billion in 2026 at a rate of 7.1%. The market is then expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% from 2026 and reach $1,271.20 billion in 2031.
Growth in the historic period resulted from an increase in regulations of government for wastewater treatment, rapid urbanization, growing wastewater complexities, increased demand for water from agricultural sector, increased demand for steam and air-conditioning supply, and emerging markets growth.
Going forward, the rise in global population, rapidly diminishing fresh water resources, increasing demand for wastewater treatment, industrial pollutions, awareness on cleanliness and increasing smart cities will drive growth. Factors that could hinder the growth of the water and sewage market in the future include high cost of water treatment technology.
The water and sewage market is segmented by type into water supply and irrigation systems, sewage treatment facilities and steam and air-conditioning supply. The water supply and irrigation systems market was the largest segment of the water and sewage market segmented by type, accounting for 51.1% of the total in 2021. Going forward, both water supply and irrigation systems and sewage treatment facilities market is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the water and sewage market segmented by technology, at a CAGR of 7.4% during 2021-2026.
The water and sewage market is also segmented by end-user into residential, commercial, industrial and agriculture. The residential market was the largest segment of the water and sewage market segmented by end-user, accounting for 29.6% of the total in 2021. Going forward, the residential segment is expected to be the fastest growing segment in the water and sewage market segmented by end-user, at a CAGR of 7.7% during 2021-2026.
The water and sewage market is also segmented by type of operator into public and private.

Like most industries, the water and sewage sector was negatively impacted by the stringent rules put in place because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With waste and sewage treatments being a key backbone of various industries and regions, COVID-19 restricted the growth and function of this sector. These plants commonly require the workforce to work in close proximity to one another, making it difficult to contain the spread of the virus and extra safety measures being taken. According to a report, many facilities were forced to significantly decrease or completely turn off their waste management processes in order to maintain inventory. Furthermore, facilities that served communities reported a significant drop in influent carbon which plays a key role in obtaining discharge permits.
