NRW Smart Leak Management Market Analysis

The NRW Smart Leak Management Market size is estimated at USD 1.28 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 2.08 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 10.21% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The global water demand is anticipated to rise continuously at a similar rate until 2050, accounting for an increase of 20%-30% above the current level of water use, primarily due to the rising demand in the industrial and domestic sectors.
  • The gap between water availability and water needs increases on the supply side. Still, when considering all urban water distribution systems, water losses may reach a staggering number of 346 million cubic meters per day. This is equivalent to 30% of water system input volumes globally and would be enough to provide water to an additional 2 billion people.
  • A smart utility network is one of the most useful technology investments. Utilities with remote monitoring and management seamlessly provide customer service while keeping their workers safe by limiting customer interaction.
  • Usage of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence, is also increasing, as utility providers seek more advanced solutions for leakage prevention. For instance, North WestWater Company, which introduced the United Kingdom's first water sniffer dogs, announced another new trial. In line with this, the United Utilities collaborated with inventors for developing artificial intelligence capable of hunting leaks across its pipe networks.
  • Furthermore, FIDO, the cutting-edge AI platform, and in-field device use rapid machine learning to listen and interpret the unique data trail left by leaks. Then, it tracks down the leaks to pinpoint the exact location of a leak.

NRW Smart Leak Management Industry Overview

The non-revenue water market is fragmented with the presence of major players, such as Honeywell International Inc., ABB Ltd, Suez Group, Itron Inc., and Arad Group. These companies are upscaling the market with investments and innovating new products to reduce the loss of water wastage due to leaks and ruptures in the pipelines.

  • February 2021 - Electro Scan Inc., a water sector clean-technology inventor, announced that recent pipeline survey results have shown that the company's unique machine-intelligent tethered-based pipe inspection system locates and quantifies an average of 750 leaks per mile. As a result, the company's Focused Electrode Leak Location (FELL) inspection technology is dubbed the "Most Accurate Leak Detection" solution in the water sector. According to results disclosed separately by suppliers, these results compare to two leaks per mile of pipe from acoustic balls that are not tethered.
  • September 2021 - The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) teamed up with the Global Manufacturing and Industrialization Summit (GMIS), to promote the use of sophisticated energy-saving technology and accelerate the sustainable use of water in the industrial sector.
  • December 2021 - Suez and Acea partnered for the digitalization of after-service metering systems. The project is considered strategic for both the involved companies, which are among the most important players, at the international level, in the water sector.
