Water Quality Monitoring Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (TOC Analyser, pH Testing, Conductivity Sensors and Other Types), By Application (Commercial, Marine, Residential and other Applications) and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Water Quality Monitoring Market is accounted for $5.57 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $9.13 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period. Water quality monitoring is a system where the sampling and analysis of water are done to determine water quality in real-time. The quality of water resources has been impacted by the rising levels of water pollution, and it is imperative to understand the makeup and wellbeing of the aquatic ecosystem. Analyzing the water quality can help identify issues and ensure that standards are being met. This information aids in determining the best course of action for managing water quality now and in the future. The analysis measures a number of parameters, including temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, macro invertebrates, nitrates, and phosphates. The higher prevalence of storms, droughts, and floods is a result of the climatic changes brought on by rising pollution. As a result, many utilities are putting in place systems for checking the quality of the water.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), at least 2 billion people drink contaminated water containing harmful pollutants. Thus, there is an urgent need to adopt water quality monitoring systems for analyzing and examining the water quality.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Development of policies and Government initiatives
The development of initiatives and policies aimed at reducing environmental pollution, an increase in government funding for pollution monitoring and control, and rising levels of water pollution worldwide have been the market's main drivers. Due to an increase in industrial activity in recent decades, there is a global increase in demand for water monitoring products. Increased government spending on pollution control and monitoring will also help to develop the market. The demand for water quality monitoring is increasing as the idea of a smart city gains traction across the globe and presents a market opportunity in the long run.
Restraint:
Expensive monitoring systems
The ownership costs of water quality monitoring systems include the initial purchase price, operational costs, which include the cost of consumables and replacement parts, and maintenance costs. Consumable costs are involved in the creation of common chemical solutions and reagents. In addition, the cost of the equipment as a whole includes a sizeable portion for analyzer upkeep. The next-largest elements of instrument cost of ownership after calibration are the management of spare parts inventories and in-plant repairs. Such aspects hamper the market expansion.
Opportunity:
Rising Industrialization and Urbanization
Urbanization, industrialization, and the rise of smart cities are all expected to generate opportunities for the industry to expand. New sensors have been created to analyse the water quality. These comprise temperature sensors, conductivity sensors, pH sensors, chlorine sensors, dissolved oxygen sensors, turbidity sensors, and conductivity sensors. Additionally, over the forecast period, growth opportunities are anticipated due to the growing use of IoT-enabled devices for data collection and tracking in order to enable remote water testing and analysis.
Threat:
Lack of awareness in rural people in developing countries
The development of industry is hampered by rural residents' lack of awareness of sanitation and health issues in developing economies. In addition, expensive capital is needed for the water quality testing process, which poorer countries cannot afford. 90% of sewage in developing nations is dumped directly into water bodies without being treated. According to estimates, the degradation of freshwater ecosystems, which is primarily brought on by the pollution of water resources and aquatic ecosystems, results in a loss of about one-third of the world's biodiversity. Such elements are impeding market growth.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the global water quality monitoring market. Due to lockdown procedures, a lack of labor, and supply chain disruption, production facilities for pipeline monitoring systems were either completely or partially stopped. As a result of this, the production of water monitoring systems would be affected. Due to the suspension of regular business operations in these sectors during the lockdown, demand from end users for things like petroleum, water, wastewater, and other goods and services significantly decreased. Moreover, consumer demand has also subsequently reduced as individuals are now keen on eliminating non-essential expenses from their respective budgets as the general economic status of most individuals has been severely affected by this outbreak. These aforementioned elements are expected to burden the revenue trajectory of the global water quality monitoring market. However, as the respective governing authorities begin to lift these enforced lockdowns, the market is expected to recover accordingly.
The TOC Analyzer segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
During the forecast period, the TOC analyzer segment is anticipated to dominate the market and hold the largest share. The key factors driving the segment's growth include the rising levels of industrialization and urbanisation in developing nations, which are raising the pollution levels in the water and raising public awareness of water contamination and pollution.
The Laboratories segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Due to increasing water pollution, which forces laboratories to prioritise reliability and accuracy and has a direct impact on the market for water quality monitoring, the laboratories segment is anticipated to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period. There is a high demand for the water quality monitoring system due to the abundance of chemicals and toxic waste from expanding industrial and residential use. Market expansion is anticipated to be fueled by opportunities for creative smart-city ideas, government funding, and consumer awareness of water quality.
Region with largest share:
Europe dominated the market with a share of 41.1% and is estimated to hold largest share during the forecast period. The region's growth is being fueled by the government's expanding initiatives and funding for combating water contamination and pollution. The government takes a number of steps, including reducing and monitoring chemical pollutants, treating industrial wastewater, and managing and reducing urban and agricultural pollutants. Consequently, it is anticipated that the region's demand for water quality monitoring products will increase as a result of the government and other organisations' increasing efforts to reduce water contamination.
Region with highest CAGR:
Due to the rising water pollution caused by the industrialization and urbanisation, Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness highest CAGR for Water Quality Monitoring market over the forecast period. Furthermore, regions like Japan need recycled water for commercial purposes, and this has greatly improved the Market. Additionally, the number of government initiatives and regulations is rising, particularly in China, India, and Japan, which is directly driving up market demand.
