Global Water Security & Infrastructure Management Market Strategic Research Report

The global water security and infrastructure management market addresses one of the most structurally durable investment themes in global infrastructure: the treatment, distribution, and management of water resources amid aging developed-market infrastructure, accelerating water stress in emerging markets, and rising regulatory and consumer demand for reliable water access. The market was worth approximately USD 303.8 billion in 2026, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% to reach approximately USD 420.2 billion by 2031.

In 2025-2026, Veolia Environnement acquired full ownership of its Water Technologies segment by buying out its minority partner CDPQ's stake for EUR 1.5 billion, consolidating what the company now describes as a "global WaterTech segment of approximately EUR 5 billion of revenues." This is a genuine structural development for the sector's largest player, reflecting continued strategic conviction in water technology as a distinct, high-growth business line worth full ownership and operational control.

Water Treatment Infrastructure & Systems remains the largest segment, though Smart Water Management & IoT/Analytics is the fastest-growing category as utilities worldwide adopt IoT-driven network management to reduce non-revenue water loss. Three structural growth catalysts anchor the forecast: the US Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's $55 billion water infrastructure allocation, India's Jal Jeevan Mission ($50 billion+ committed to rural water infrastructure), and Middle East desalination expansion led by Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program and UAE's DEWA-led infrastructure investment.
