Product standards are a major driver for the adoption of water efficient building technologies
BOULDER, Colo., July 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A new report from Guidehouse Insights examines the global market for water efficient building technologies in commercial and industrial (C&I) buildings.
Water conservation is growing in importance as climate change intensifies water scarcity and expanded access to water in developing regions increases demand. According to a new report from Guidehouse Insights, global revenue from water efficient technologies in C&I buildings is expected to grow from an estimated $8.9 billion in 2024 to $15.6 billion in 2033 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
“Water efficient fixtures, appliances, and other technologies for C&I buildings reduce the amount of water used for specific tasks or reduce water waste to ease demands on municipal water utilities and wastewater treatment facilities,” says Wendy Davis, principal research analyst with Guidehouse Insights. “These technologies can also reduce charges for water supply and wastewater treatment for building owners, increase a building’s resilience to water scarcity, contribute to an organization’s sustainability goals, and in some cases, mitigate the risk of water damage to a building.”
Product standards, including regulations, product labels, and product certification programs, are increasing the adoption of water efficient building technologies, as are government and private sector sustainability goals and voluntary building certification programs. However, market growth is limited by factors such as the underpricing of water, the importance of water to human health and sanitation, unintended consequences of increased water efficiency, negative impressions of product performance, and long product replacement cycles, according to the report.
The report, Water Efficiency, analyzes the global market for five water efficient C&I building technologies: faucets and taps, toilets and urinals, showerheads, leak detection systems, and irrigation controllers. The study analyzes market drivers and barriers, and issues recommendations to industry stakeholders for growing this market. Revenue analyses through 2033 are segmented by technology, global region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa), and C&I building type (office, retail, education, healthcare, hotels and restaurants, institutional/assembly, warehouse, transport, industrial). An executive summary of the report is available for free download on the Guidehouse Insights website.
