Water Quality Sensor Market Growth and Trends

The global Water Quality Sensors Market is primarily driven by the rising importance of water, rising problems for rising in water pollution due to industrialization, increase in the prevalence of waterborne diseases, and surge in government obligations. The U.S. government established regulations and minimum standards such as the Clean Water Act (CWA) and Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), to protect water sources from contamination. This has fueled the demand for water quality monitoring systems.

However, the high production cost of these sensors will be hampering the growth of the Water Quality Sensor market for the forecast period.

Water Quality Sensor Market Segmentation Analysis

By Application, the global Water Quality Sensor Market is segmented into Groundwater, Drinking water, Wastewater, Aquaculture, Coastal, Laboratory, and Other. In 2018, the groundwater segment had a significant market share, and this trend is expected to continue over the forecast period. Factors such as the use of improved technologies in the manufacturing of water quality sensors will play a significant role in the groundwater segment to maintain its market position. However, due to rising aquaculture industry will make the market for the aquaculture segment to grow with a higher CAGR for the forecast period.

Global Water Quality Sensor Market Geographical Share

By geography, the global Water Quality Sensor Market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

APAC provides a large number of growth opportunities for water quality sensor manufacturers. The presence of many pharmaceutical and F&B companies in the region has increased the need for water treatment plants. Moreover, the lack of proper sanitation and ecosystem deterioration in many developing countries in APAC has reduced the availability of clean water. These factors are driving the growth of the water quality sensor market in APAC. And the rise in the industrialization in APAC coupled with the stringent regulation of government for proper water disposal.

However, North America is after Europe in terms of the market share of the Water Quality Sensor Market, due to the increasing number of households with swimming pools in them coupled with the rise in automatic pool cleaning systems which has water quality sensors for accessing the water quality. In 2017, According to the Association of Pool & Spa Professionals, there are approximately 10.4 Million residential swimming pools, with that number expected to grow in coming years and hence, the market for swimming pool water treatment equipment market will grow for the forecast period.
