Top Impacting Factors
Increase in usage of supervisory control and data acquisition solution
Increase in usage of supervisory control and data acquisition across the globe owing to better operation management and correct investments. Moreover, it improves decision-making and lowers energy costs associated with pumping water through distribution systems. Furthermore, smart water management implements advanced analytic solutions for improvement of infrastructure and operations.
For instance, in July 2021, Ecolab launched an enhanced version of its smart water navigator to help businesses develop comprehensive, context-based plans and to better engage and support the teams responsible for driving smart water management. In addition, this project includes use of a supervisory control and data acquisition system for water supply operations and geographic information system-based asset management. Such initiatives are driving the growth of the smart water management industry.
Rise in number of smart cities
Rise in number of smart cities is an ever-evolving industry, and opportunities emerge regularly. In addition, governments across the globe are aiming to integrate smart technologies to drive economic growth as a major part of their urban planning strategy. Smart city initiatives, which began in 2013, comprise several aspects, such as smart mobility, smart energy, smart buildings, smart infrastructure, smart technology, and smart healthcare. Moreover, smart water management is one of the crucial components of a smart city. Additionally, the smart city initiatives open lucrative business avenues for the vendors of smart water management with the drastic rise in population, surge in demand for food, fast-paced urbanization, and overutilization of resources, which are successively driving the growth of the smart water management market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The smart water management industry has witnessed stable growth during the COVID-19 pandemic, owing to the commercial segment that includes private companies and industries that limited their water usage and postponed their investments for the development of smart water management projects. In addition, governments across the world prioritized the water needs of households over industries, which triggered the share of the non-commercial segment to some extent.
Furthermore, with rapid digital transformation, various governments have introduced stringent regulations to protect end-user data, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Thus, governments in various countries have taken strict actions toward the defaulters of COVID-19 regulations, and natural language processing technology is helping financial institutions to scan their internal policies as well as claims documents to check their compliance with different regulatory policies. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is making it even harder for larger industries to keep pace, and even more difficult for midsize and smaller companies to adopt technologies, owing to long development timelines and high investment requirements.
