Water Quality Sensor Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034

The global water quality sensor market was valued at USD 6.27 Billion in 2024. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.60% during the forecast period of 2025-2034 to attain a valuation of USD 10.81 Billion by 2034.

Asia-Pacific to be a Significant Regional Market for Water Quality Sensor

Asia-Pacific is expected to dominate the water quality sensor market during the forecast period. The economies such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea are the key contributors to the market's growth. The growth can be attributed to the high adoption of water quality sensors in water and wastewater treatment applications. Increasing industrialisation leads to rising water pollution; thus, the demand for water quality sensors has increased. Also, growing investments and initiatives by the government such as smart cities, river protection, and smart water management systems in the region to reduce water pollution and rising strict government rules for wastewater disposal are driving the growth of the market in the region. In addition, the presence of many pharmaceutical and food and beverage companies in the region has increased the need for water treatment plants, propelling the market growth.
