"North America and Europe are currently the leading markets due to favorable regulatory policies for promoting greater transparency and environmental sustainability," noted Hudson. "Asia-Pacific countries like China and India are expected to experience high growth due to significant investments in smart water infrastructure and the need for economic sustainability."

Key disruptive technologies include the Memosens by Endress+Hauser, Libelium's multi-sensors with LPWAN/cellular communication modules, and Hach's Claros suite, which is a software-assisted solution for sensor diagnostics, data, and process management.

With regulators and policymakers adopting stringent water quality and discharge standards, there will be greater growth opportunities for vendors that:

• Explore the latest communication technologies that enable long-range wireless communication and have low-power requirements.
• Offer financial services or SaaS business models.
• Partner with leading water companies that deliver treatment technology solutions, engineering procurement construction (EPC), and O&M services.
• Provide data storage capabilities in the sensor or through cloud-based solutions.
• Bundle predictive maintenance and asset management to present a holistic solution.
