Global Rainwater Harvesting System Market Definition

Water is one of the important and limited resources that are dwindling day by day due to several factors such as pollution, impractical usage, and wastage, and climate change among others. Globally, the demand for water conservation technologies is growing to mitigate the future water crisis. Rainwater harvesting is one such technology that can soothe the current challenges of global water availability. Rainwater harvesting is not a new concept and adopted in a greater or minor capacity in many regions.

Rainwater is one of the most recurring sources of fresh water available to the population across the globe. Rainwater harvesting is defined as a system that collects and stores the rainwater that runs off from parks, roads, rooftops, open grounds, etc. The runoff water can either be stored or directed towards groundwater. The rainwater harvesting system includes components such as Tanks, a catchment, a conveyance system that carries the stored water, the various filters to flush out dirt and pollutants. The water storage depends on the employed products such as tanks, and related accessories including, water meters, tank gauges & meters, among others.

The rainwater harvesting systems market is primarily driven by the rising consumption of water and increasing demand for rainwater harvesting systems from farmers and big cultivars. Increasing demand from agriculturalists is because of the high requirement of water for irrigation which is a necessity for the maintenance of crop yield and tackling climate calamities such as drought. Rainwater harvesting has several applications within the agriculture space.

Global Rainwater Harvesting System Market Overview

The rising water consumption is the major factor that is accelerating the growth of the global rainwater harvesting systems market. An increasing population and increasing use of water in various industries such as agricultural, chemicals, and construction industries by builders and manufacturers are increasing water consumption across the world in the last few years. Water use has been increasing worldwide by about 1% per year. Moreover, the global water demand is expected to continue increasing at a similar rate until 2050, accounting for an increase of 20 to 30% above the current level of water use, mainly due to rising demand in the industrial and domestic sectors.

Rainwater harvesting finds several applications in agricultural space. Intense or unpredictable rainfall due to climate change causes significant damage to agricultural land. Rainwater harvesting techniques can be used to divert rainwater to the subsurface, thereby protecting the problems of significant damage. In addition, rainwater harvesting offers significant promise in minimizing the operating costs of farmers. This is due to the calcium carbonate from hard water normally piling up in pumps or sprinklers causing blockages. When such equipment is blocked, money is employed to unblock their pathways. In contrast, such problems are not usually related to the use of soft water in farming operations, thus reducing the cost to maintain crops.

Thus, the demand for this system increases from the farmers and cultivators, which in turn bolsters the growth of the Rainwater Harvesting System Market. The growing water scarcity continues to affect multiple societies worldwide despite significant efforts being made to curb these problems. Climate change and depleting groundwater resources have also laid to increase the demand for rainwater harvesting systems. In the current situation, the effects of climate change and water-related problems continue to grow across cities. In terms to address issues related to water scarcity, multiple countries are leaning toward rainwater harvesting techniques. The rigorous water crisis in cities as well as in rural areas due to improper management of water resources and better alternatives to save water individually is driving the rainwater harvesting systems market.

Growing urbanization in terms of the emergence of green buildings and smart cities has also attributed to the growth of this market. Market experts have identified that several governments across the world have taken initiatives to develop smart cities. However, The rainwater harvesting system is often related to high installation costs for existing buildings. The cost of these systems cannot be generalized as it varies depending on the site and size of the tank. Besides, these systems can be used only in the rainy season. Hence, the investment in this system will not have returns throughout the year. However, the high costs of installing rainwater harvesting system are the factor that might restrict the market growth.
