Water Pipeline Leak Detection System Market to Grow at a CAGR of 6.7% to reach US$ 2,505.47 Mn By 2028

The water pipeline leak detection system market was valued at US$ 1,501.71 million in 2020 and is projected to reach US$ 2,505.47 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% from 2021 to 2028.

The water pipeline leak detection systems demand for various technological advancements with the integration of computerized systems and digital survey systems for real-time monitoring of water leakage. Also, the introduction of advanced technologies such as sensors and computerized systems create enormous opportunities for the growth of the water pipeline leak detection systems market. The traditional acoustic detection sensors are upgraded with efficient sound detection functions. The technological advancements also lead to the rising usage of Internet of things (IoT) based monitoring systems and smart water metering in water management systems across the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. In case of water leakage failure, the operators must have access to reliable, efficient, and actionable insights, which permit them to manage with an appropriate response. One of the most advanced technologies to detect and locate water leakage points inside the pipelines is distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). DAS is an intelligent and networked solution that offers extensive support to water utilities, especially for pipeline integrity management, pre-emptive maintenance, and leak detection. The development of these advanced computerized Systems for water leakage is creating enormous opportunities for the market players to remain competitive in the market.

North America dominated the water pipeline leak detection system market in 2020 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. North America led the market in 2020 as the region is characterized by the presence of well-developed countries such as Canada and the US, which favor the adoption and application of new technologies. Also, the presence of many market players further explains the increased penetration in this region. The region is witnessing increased population, robust economic growth, enhanced standard of living, and swift urbanization, which, in turn, creates a need for sophisticated infrastructure. Thus, the governments are investing heavily with the focus on overcoming this problem by implementing an automatic water leak detection system. Furthermore, the APAC water pipeline leak detection system market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising population of these countries is the main driver for the residential and non-residential construction industry in the region, which further demands better water pipeline network. Moreover, the governments are taking several measures for attracting private investments in infrastructure development, which is accelerating the deployment of water pipeline leak detection system in the region.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Water Pipeline Leak Detection System Market

The COVID-19 outbreak has severely disrupted the supply chain and manufacturing of electronics equipment including the hardware component of water pipeline leak detection system. The emergence of COVID-19 virus across the world, followed by lockdown scenarios, has led the industry experts to analyze that the industry would face at least a quarter of lag in manufacturing and construction equipment supply chain. This disruption is expected to create tremors till mid-2021. The factory shutdowns, travel bans, trade bans, and border lockdowns have adversely affected the water pipeline leak detection system industry. Furthermore, the maintenance and renovation of old water supply pipeline infrastructure also got hindered, owing to less presence of labor during this pandemic.

Rising Scarcity of Water is Boosting the Demand for Water Wastage Solutions

The rising population and constant change in climate across the world are the key factors causing water scarcity. As per the latest UN World Water Development Report, climate change impacts the quality, availability, and quantity of water required for basic human needs, therefore damaging the sanitation and safe drinking water for billions of people. According to the President of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the limiting global temperature's is a seriously emerging concerns are increases to below 2°C and attaining the Sustainable Development Goals by the year 2030. Thus, immediate action should be taken by adopting various solutions to manage water and climate in an organized manner. Further, growing water demand is due to economic development and population growth. As the water requirement worldwide is witnessed to be increased by 600% over the past 100 years, it is further anticipated to increase over the next two decades for domestic, industrial, and agriculture usage. The water requirement for domestic and industrial use is projected to grow faster than agricultural demand worldwide. Around 70% of the total water is used for agriculture globally. However, the increasing issue of water scarcity is creating hurdles to meet the requirement of water for the agricultural and industrial sectors.

Offering-Based Market Insights

Based on offering, the global water pipeline leak detection system market is segmented into hardware and software and services. The hardware segment includes sensors, alarms, monitors, and display. The sensors are integrated in hydrants and valves of water pipes of the water pipeline systems that are installed across various residential, commercial, and industrial facilities to efficiently sense the water leakage and send signals to the alarms and the controlling center. These sensors are small, waterproof, light weight, and easy to handle. They comprise in-built magnet. They are easy to install, and they do not require special handling.

Equipment Type-Based Market Insights

Based on equipment type, the water pipeline leak detection system market is segmented into acoustic and non-acoustic. The acoustic water pipeline leak detection solution offers transparency in the distribution network, all the way to the end users. It also provides a valuable tool for the facility when an effective water leak monitoring system is required, thus creating a proactive approach to fighting for non-revenue water (NRW). The acoustic solutions permit the facilities to focus majorly on the small areas, depending upon where the acoustic is high.

Pipe Type-Based Market Insights

Based on pipe type, the water pipeline leak detection system market is segmented into plastic pipes, ductile iron pipes, stainless steel pipes, and others. In the underground conditions, the ductile cast iron pipe has a semi-rigid behavior as it provides an exceptional settlement between mechanical stress in the wall (small diameter nominal (DN)) and ovality (large DN). The ground/semi-rigid pipe system delivers optimum mechanical stability over time without the risk of buckling in large DN. The significant advantage of ductile iron pipe systems over other alternative materials is the substantial variety and amount of thrust restraint joint options.

End User-Based Market Insights

Based on end user, the water pipeline leak detection system market is segmented into non-residential and residential. The non-residential segment of the water pipeline leak detection system market includes industrial, malls, office premises, and banks pipeline systems. The manufacturing and industrial processing plants demand for the installation of an efficient water leak detection system for the plants' safe operation. Similarly, installing a water pipeline network is one of the most critical tasks across various facilities such as office premises and malls. A small leakage in the pipeline network across these facilities will cost heavy operational cost.
