Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction Market Report 2026

The water and sewer line and related structures construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $219.3 billion in 2025 to $224.46 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to aging water infrastructure, rising urban wastewater loads, historical reliance on traditional pipe materials, periodic government funding cycles, increasing need for emergency repairs.

The water and sewer line and related structures construction market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $260.6 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to shift toward sustainable water systems, rising investment in sewer modernization, increased demand for resilient pipeline materials, expansion of urban infrastructure projects, growing focus on long-term asset management. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for water infrastructure upgrades, expansion of sewer rehabilitation and replacement projects, growth in stormwater management system installations, increasing focus on compliance with public health and safety regulations, higher adoption of long-lifespan piping and structural materials.

The rising infrastructure and construction activities are expected to support the growth of the water and sewer line and related structures construction market going forward. Infrastructure and construction activities involve all work associated with the erection, demolition, assembly, alteration, installation, or equipping of buildings, structures, roadways, or related facilities, including land clearing, grading, excavation, and filling. During the construction of residential or commercial properties, the installation of water and sewer pipelines is essential; therefore, increasing infrastructure and construction activities are expected to strengthen the water and sewer line and related structures construction market. For example, in November 2023, the U.S. Census Bureau, a primary federal statistical agency responsible for population and economic data, reported that construction spending reached an estimated $1.99 trillion in September 2023, reflecting a 0.4% (±1.2%) increase from the revised August estimate of $1.98 trillion. This figure is also 8.7% (±1.8%) higher than the projected September 2022 value of $1.83 trillion. Likewise, in June 2022, USAFACTS, a U.S.-based nonpartisan civic organization focused on accessible government data, stated that the federal government spent $36.6 billion on infrastructure and provided provinces with $94.5 billion in grants. Therefore, the increase in infrastructure and construction activities is fueling the growth of the water and sewer line and related structures construction market.

Major companies operating in the water and sewer line and related structures construction market are prioritizing the development of innovative technologies such as small-diameter UV curing systems to improve efficiency and accuracy in pipeline rehabilitation. Small-diameter UV curing systems are advanced trenchless solutions designed to reline sewage mains, laterals, and interior plumbing systems without the need for excavation, providing faster curing times, reduced disruption, and increased durability. For example, in February 2023, Vortex Companies, a U.S.-based supplier of trenchless sewer and pipeline rehabilitation solutions, introduced the IMS MICROcure LED CIPP Curing System (MICROcure), a UV curing technology suitable for both inversion and CIPP applications. The MICROcure system includes two UV light sources for optimal curing: a 2x400-watt unit for 3-inch to 6-inch pipes capable of navigating 90-degree bends, and an 8x100-watt unit for 6-inch to 10-inch pipes. This development expands Vortex’s UV CIPP offerings, providing more flexible, efficient, and dependable solutions for sewer line rehabilitation.

In May 2023, Halma plc, a UK-based company specializing in safety equipment, acquired Sewertronics for USD 44.58 million. This acquisition enables Halma plc to enhance its safety equipment portfolio by incorporating Sewertronics' innovative solutions for monitoring and managing wastewater systems. As a result, Halma aims to expand its market presence while reinforcing its commitment to environmental sustainability and public health. Sewertronics is a Poland-based company that provides construction services for waste and sewer lines and related structures.

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 are increasing the cost of imported steel pipes, valves, pumps, and treatment equipment used in water and sewer line construction, leading to higher project expenses across industrial, municipal, and commercial segments. Regions heavily dependent on imported construction materialssuch as North America and parts of Europeare experiencing greater delays and budget pressures. However, tariffs are also incentivizing domestic manufacturing of pipeline components, strengthening local supply chains, and creating opportunities for regional contractors despite near-term disruptions.
