Growth Opportunities for Smart Water Technologies and Platforms in Jal Jeevan Mission, India, Forecast to 2032

The lack of adequate and safe drinking water impacts the social and economic well-being of the human population. In 2019, the Indian government embarked on an ambitious project called the Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM) to offer functional household tap water connection (FHTC) to every rural household (100% coverage) by 2024. This will likely be extended by another 2 to 3 years. All Indian states have crossed the 50% mark in FHTC provision to rural households. As of September 2024, 11 states have achieved 100% FHTC coverage for all their rural households, while more than 10 others are expected to achieve this status by the start of 2025. As a part of JJM and under the central government’s direction, states are anticipated to implement Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart water solutions. This will enable near real-time water quality and quantity monitoring through IoT sensors to ensure an adequate supply of water quality (as per BIS 10:500 standards) and quantity (55 LPCD). The goals are universal coverage; improved transparency of system functionality through real-time monitoring of the water supply system at a village, district, state, and central level; sustainability of the asset operations and maintenance (O&M); and resource optimization of the water infrastructure. Frost & Sullivan estimates the cumulative expenditure on IoT-based smart water solutions in India to be $4.67 billion during the study period (2022–2032). This study’s addressable market is the expenditure related to implementing IoT-based smart water solutions. The segments in focus are IoT hardware, communications services, and O&M services. The analysis considers only opportunities that arise from the rural water infrastructure implemented under the JJM.--BEGIN PROMO--
