WATER SERVICE CONNECTIONS PRODUCT MARKET OVERVIEW

The global water service connections product market, valued at USD 19.83 billion in 2025, is projected to grow steadily to USD 21.05 billion in 2026 and is expected to reach USD 35.88 billion by 2035, maintaining a CAGR of 6.11% over the forecast period from 2025 to 2035.

Water service connections refer to the pipes and fittings that connect a building to a public water supply or a private well. There are various products available for water service connections. Pipes used for water service connections are typically made of copper, polyethylene (PE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials. Service boxes are used to provide easy access to the water service connection for maintenance and repair purposes.

Valves are used to control the flow of water in the system. Fittings are used to connect pipes and create a watertight seal. Backflow prevention devices are used to prevent the backflow of contaminated water into the public water supply. Common types of backflow prevention devices include double check valves, reduced pressure zone devices, and atmospheric vacuum breakers.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Increased Need for Remote Monitoring Boosted Demand Significantly

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The global water service connections product market was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected. However, the market for water service connections product experienced a boost in demand.

The pandemic has caused delays in many construction projects, including those involving water service connections. This has resulted in longer lead times for the delivery of water service connections products, which can further impact project timelines. The pandemic has disrupted global supply chains, leading to shortages and price increases for certain water service connections products.

The pandemic has highlighted the importance of remote monitoring for water systems. This has led to increased demand for products such as remote metering devices and monitoring software, which can help water utilities and contractors manage water systems without needing to physically visit the site. The market is anticipated to boost the global water service connections product market share following the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS

Digital Twinning to Broaden Market Growth

Digital twins are virtual models of water systems that can be used for planning, monitoring, and predictive maintenance. They are becoming increasingly popular for water service connections, allowing utilities and contractors to identify and address issues before they become major problems. Many manufacturers are now offering low-lead brass fittings for water service connections to comply with updated regulations and standards for lead-free plumbing.

Smart meters are becoming increasingly popular for water service connections. These meters can measure water usage in real-time and transmit the data wirelessly to utilities, allowing for more accurate billing and improved water management. Prefabricated service boxes are becoming more common for water service connections. These boxes are factory-built with all necessary components, including valves, fittings, and metering devices, and can be quickly and easily installed on-site. These latest developments are anticipated to boost the global water service connections product market share.

• According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 2.8 million new residential water service connections were installed across the United States in 2023, reflecting rising demand for modernized water infrastructure.

• According to the International Water Association (IWA), 41% of municipalities globally adopted smart water metering and automated connection systems in 2023 to enhance efficiency and leak detection.

DRIVING FACTORS

Population Growth to Boost Market Share

As the global population continues to grow, the demand for water service connections products is increasing. This is particularly true in urban areas, where new buildings and infrastructure are needed to support growing populations. Climate change is causing more frequent and severe droughts, floods, and storms, which are putting pressure on water systems. This is leading to a need for more resilient water service connections products that can withstand extreme weather events and maintain water supply even in challenging conditions.

Technological Advancements to Boost Market Size

As water resources become scarcer in some regions, there is a growing need for water service connections products that are more efficient and can help reduce water waste. Advancements in technology, such as the development of smart meters and digital twins, are driving innovation in water service connections products, allowing for better monitoring, management, and maintenance of water systems. These factors are anticipated to drive the global water service connections product market share.

• According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 1.2 billion people gained access to improved water connections in 2023, increasing the demand for durable service connection products.

• According to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, more than 3,500 public water utilities invested in upgrading pipelines and connections in 2023, directly driving the adoption of advanced water service connection products.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Inadequate Infrastructure Planning to Hamper Market Share

Inadequate planning and coordination can also be a restraining factor for water service connections products. Poor planning can lead to delays, cost overruns, and inadequate infrastructure that does not meet the needs of the community. Water service connections products require skilled labor for installation and maintenance, and there is a growing shortage of workers with the necessary skills and experience. The factors are anticipated to hinder the growth of the global water service connections product market share.

• According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the cost of high-grade piping and fittings increased by 12% in 2023, limiting small-scale infrastructure projects in rural areas.

• According to the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), over 900 municipalities in 2023 faced delays in installation due to shortages of certified technicians for water service connection products.
