Digital Water

The water sector is being transformed by a wave of new technologies for connectivity, mobility, automation, and data analytics. Proactive utilities and industrial firms are now incorporating more digital water solutions into everyday operations from customer and asset management, to maximizing operational efficiency.

Globally, water and wastewater utility sector expenditure on digital solutions is forecasted to grow 8.8% annually, from US$25.9 billion in 2021 to US$55.2 billion in 2030. The question is no longer, will the water industry go digital? Instead, we ask how quickly, by which utilities, at what impact, and how big is the opportunity?
