Water Quality Sensor Market

Water quality sensors are used for water quality monitoring. The data from the water quality sensors are used for various purposes which includes identifying compliance with regulatory water quality requirements, implementing a contamination warning system (CWS), identifying water quality for critical processes in industries, and verifying water quality modelling among others.  

Various types of water quality sensors are available in the market including residual chlorine sensor, total organic carbon (TOC) sensor, turbidity sensor, conductivity sensor, pH sensor, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) sensor. Industrial, agriculture, wastewater management, drinking water treatment, and aquaculture are the key areas where water quality sensors find its applications.

The global water quality sensor market size is expected to grow from USD XX million in 2022 to USD XX million by 2028, at a CAGR of XX%. The growing awareness of the water quality measurement due to rising level of water pollution and increasing government funding for controlling and monitoring pollution are some of the key factors driving the market growth.

Drivers: Increasing adoption of pH sensor for water quality measurement

pH sensor is one of the most used sensors for water quality measurements. In terms of water treatment and purity, a pH sensor is crucial.  A water treatment plant's pH level can become dangerously high or low, which can make the water unsafe. This sensor can determine how much acidity and alkalinity is present in water. When utilised properly, pH sensors can guarantee a product's safety and quality as well as the operations that take place in a manufacturing or wastewater facility.

Drivers: High demand for water quality sensor from the APAC

The high demand from APAC region is one of the key factors accelerating the growth of the water quality sensor market. APAC is expected to hold dominant position in the water quality sensor market in the coming years as well. Major government initiatives such as river protection, smart cities, and smart water management systems in the region combined with scarcity of water are estimated to boost the market in APAC. Additionally, APAC has a significantly large population which offer significant opportunity for the market.

Challenges: Limited penetration of water testing and analysis instruments in non-industrial applications

High cost of water testing systems has led to limited penetration of water quality sensors in the non-industrial application. Additionally, lack of awareness about water quality especially in the rural areas of developing nations is also hindering the growth of the water quality sensor market.

Key Market Players:

Horiba (Japan), Danaher (US), Agilent Technologies (US), Xylem (US), Thermo Fisher Scientific (US), Atlas Scientific (US), Hach Instruments (US), Honeywell (US), and ABB (Switzerland) are some of the players in water quality sensor market.

Recent Developments

• In September 2022, South Fork Instruments (US) expands its turbidity sensor solutions with the launch of EXplore range of entry-level turbidity sensors. The advantage of the EXplore sensor is its high level of accuracy, that combined with a fast response, allows changes in the measured turbidity of fluid to be recorded in real-time
• In March 2020, ABB (Switzerland) launched a new range of color-coded sensors that makes it easy to choose and manage the optimal pH measurement solution. The application driven designs are categorized into three groups: the entry-level 100 series for   cost-effective measurement in general process applications; the high-performance 500 series for harsh industrial applications; and the 700 series for specialist applications.
