Non-Magnetic Water Meter Market Report 2026

The non-magnetic water meter market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.44 billion in 2025 to $2.65 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growing urban water supply demand, adoption of mechanical water meters, increasing awareness of water loss, infrastructure expansion in residential and commercial areas, regulatory mandates for accurate water measurement.

The non-magnetic water meter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.66 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with smart city initiatives, rising demand for non-invasive metering, adoption of IoT-enabled water meters, expansion in industrial water monitoring, technological advancements in ultrasonic and mechanical meters. Major trends in the forecast period include non-magnetic sensing mechanisms, ultrasonic flow measurement, mechanical flow measurement, remote monitoring & smart metering, water conservation & efficiency.

The rising emphasis on water conservation is fueling the growth of the non-magnetic water meter market due to increasing water scarcity driven by climate change. Water conservation refers to the responsible and efficient use of water resources to reduce waste, protect freshwater reserves, and ensure long-term sustainability by minimizing unnecessary consumption, promoting recycling, and preserving natural sources. The focus on water conservation is intensifying as climate change leads to more frequent droughts and irregular rainfall patterns, causing severe water shortages in many regions. Non-magnetic water meters support water conservation by providing precise, real-time measurements of water usage, enabling households and industries to detect leaks, prevent wastage, and manage consumption more effectively. For instance, in March 2024, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), a Kenya-based environmental authority, an estimated 1.8 billion people are expected to face what the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) defines as absolute water scarcity by 2025. Therefore, the growing emphasis on water conservation is driving the growth of the non-magnetic water meter market.

Key companies operating in the non-magnetic water meter market are focusing on technological advancements such as ultrasonic smart water meters to improve accuracy, reduce maintenance, and enable real-time digital monitoring for efficient water management. Ultrasonic smart water meters use high-frequency sound waves to measure water flow, offering precise readings, no moving parts, and real-time data transmission for effective consumption tracking. For instance, in November 2023, SIT S.p.A., an Italy-based machinery parts manufacturer, introduced a new ultrasonic smart water meter for residential applications, featuring advanced ultrasonic technology with a cavityless design that ensures high accuracy and long-term durability. The meter supports multiple communication protocols, including NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, and wireless M-Bus, and provides a battery life of up to 16 years. It also includes configurable alarms for leak detection, backflow, and tampering, making it suitable for harsh environments while contributing to efficient water resource management through digital connectivity.

In June 2024, Yokogawa Electric Corporation, a Japan-based provider of industrial automation, measurement, and control solutions, acquired Adept Fluidyne Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition aims to strengthen Yokogawa’s presence in the Indian market by utilizing Adept Fluidyne’s established manufacturing and certified calibration facilities. This move enhances Yokogawa’s local production capacity, shortens delivery timelines, and expands its portfolio of advanced, high-performance flow measurement solutions to better serve a wide range of industrial customers. Adept Fluidyne Pvt. Ltd. is an India-based provider of magnetic and non-magnetic water meters.
