水道メーター市場規模は、今後数年間で力強い成長が見込まれます。2029年の年間平均成長率(CAGR)は6.2%で72億1,000万米ドルに成長します。予測期間の成長は、都市化の進展、水使用量の増加、古い水道メーターの交換需要の増加、世界人口の増加などに起因しています。予測期間の主要動向としては、超音波式スマート水道メーターの発売、パートナーシップや提携、ワイヤレス水道メーターの設置、5G水道メーターへの投資、財務体質や製品ポートフォリオを改善するためのM&Aなどが挙げられます。
今後5年間の成長率6.2%という予測は、この市場の前回予測から0.6%の小幅な減少を反映しています。この減少は主に米国と他国との間の関税の影響によるものです。これは、主にドイツとイスラエルから供給される超音波流量センサとメーターレジスターヘッドの関税上昇を通じて米国に直接影響し、地方自治体の水道インフラのコストを上昇させる可能性が高いです。また、相互関税や、貿易緊張の高まりと制限による世界経済と貿易への悪影響により、影響はより広範囲に及ぶと考えられます。
水需要の増大は、今後の水道メーター市場の拡大を牽引すると予想されます。人口の増加に伴い、毎日の水消費量も増加しています。水の消費量とは、使用後に水源に戻されなかった水の量を指します。水道メーターは、使用した水の量に応じて使用者に課金し、パイプの漏れを簡単に発見できるようにすることで、水の浪費を減らし、この消費に影響を与えます。例えば、米国を拠点とする非営利団体、世界資源ラボ(World Resources Institute)が2023年8月に発表した報告書によると、2050年までにサハラ以南のアフリカの水需要は163%急増すると予測されています。これは、水需要が43%増加すると予測されているラテンアメリカ増加率の4倍です。従って、水消費の増加は水道メーター市場の成長を促進すると考えられます。
A water meter is a device that measures the flow of water in a pipe system or outlet, often installed in an underground or above-ground box on public property. These meters typically include automated meter reading technology for efficient monitoring.
Water meters can be categorized into mechanical water meters and smart water meters. Mechanical water meters measure water flow by detecting the movement of water that drives a piston or turbine. They record water usage in domestic connections for billing purposes. On the other hand, smart water meters utilize wireless communication with a network, allowing remote monitoring and leak detection to minimize water wastage. Smart meters come in various types such as ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and mechanical meters, catering to residential, commercial, and industrial applications.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
The water meter market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides water meter market statistics, including water meter industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a water meter market share, detailed water meter market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the water meter industry. This water meter market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The water meter market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.48 billion in 2024 to $5.66 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, rising deployment of smart water meters, and supportive government initiatives.
The water meter market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.21 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising urbanization, increasing water usage, growing demand for replacement of old water meters, and rise in global population. Major trends in the forecast period include focus on launching ultrasonic smart water meters, partnerships and collaborations, installing wireless water meters, investing in 5g water meters, and mergers and acquisitions to improve their financial strength and product portfolio.
The forecast of 6.2% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.6% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher tariffs on ultrasonic flow sensors and meter register heads, primarily sourced from Germany and Israel, increasing costs for municipal water infrastructure. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The growing demand for water is anticipated to drive the expansion of the water meter market in the upcoming period. As the population increases, daily water consumption is also rising. Water consumption refers to the volume of water that is not returned to its source after use. Water meters influence this consumption by charging users based on the amount of water utilized and enabling easier detection of leaks in pipes, which reduces water wastage. For example, a report from the World Resources Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, stated in August 2023 that by 2050, water demand in Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to surge by 163%-four times the rate of growth in Latin America, where water demand is projected to rise by 43%. Therefore, increasing water consumption will drive the growth of the water meters market.
The increasing demand for the replacement of outdated water meters is poised to drive the water meter market in the coming years. The existing metering infrastructure often falls short in meeting current requirements, necessitating the replacement of outdated meters with more advanced counterparts.
