Water Quality Sensor Market Drivers

Government Regulations or Initiatives towards Drinking Water
Quality Monitoring, Testing and Surveillance is Driving the Demand for Water
Quality Sensors:

Government regulations or initiatives towards drinking water
quality monitoring, testing, and surveillance act as one of the major drivers
boosting the market growth of water quality sensor. This growth is attributed
to factors like rising industrial wastes disposal in waterbodies, surging cases
of drinking water contamination levels, significant industrial pollution
hazards and high dependency of rural households on contaminated water sources. In
order to address such issues, various government organizations or authorities
have started implementing stringent laws, guidelines or regulations for regular
monitoring, testing as well as surveillance of drinking water quality,
industrial wastewater treatment, utilization of spectroscopic techniques and so
on, thus driving the need for water quality sensors. In March 2021, an Indian
Government Ministry, named Jal Shakti Ministry
had launched guidelines, the framework related to monitoring, testing, and
surveillance of drinking water quality. These guidelines specified work to be done in terms of monitoring and surveillance of water
quality within the state, block/tehsil, as well as village levels, which have
been prepared under consultation from Indian Council of Medical Research. Under
this guideline, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity, chloride, turbidity,
pH value, chloride, total hardness, iron, total coliform bacteria, e.coil,
fluoride, sulphate and nitrate were the prescribed water quality parameters,
catering to the market growth of water quality sensors. In November 2021, the
Union Minister, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India announced about its establishment of 2000 water testing laboratories
already, as a move towards completely
transforming the drinking water sector. The
government further stated about making water-quality testing infrastructure
available to every village for improving services in terms of quantity,
quality, and regularity, with targeting about 6000 laboratories by the year
2022. Such
factors can be considered vital in propelling the growth of Water Quality Sensor industry in the long run.

Rise in Water Pollution due to Rapid Industrialization,
Presence of Toxic Metal Effluents and Related Hazardous Substances is Accelerating
the Market Growth of Water Quality Sensors:

Rising water pollution due to rapid industrialization,
presence of toxic metal effluents as well as many other hazardous substances
can be considered a major driver impacting the growth of Water Quality Sensor
market. With rising establishment of varied industrial facilities, there is
generation of massive amounts of toxic and hazardous amounts of wastes, which are being dispersed in the nearby
waterbodies, without proper chemical treatment. This in turn, creates an adverse
impact on the waterbodies including rivers, oceans and so on, causing
pollution, hampering the aquatic habitat as well as humans. Regular and
controlled monitoring of water bodies through utilization of water quality
sensors for measuring content of total organic carbon, chlorine, arsenic and so
on, help in minimizing hazards like water-borne diseases, skin diseases and
many others. According to the State of Environment Report 2022, from the Centre
for Science and Environment (CSE), out of the 33 monitoring stations in Ganga,
about 10 had high levels of contaminants. The river being the focus of the
Centre’s Namami Gange mission had reported high levels of toxic metals like
lead, nickel, iron, arsenic and cadmium. Additionally, the Central Water Commission
had tested water samples from 688 stations for heavy metals between August 2018
and December 2020, which showed that pollution, total coliform as well as bio chemical
oxygen demand was high in 239 and 88 stations across 21 states. This findings
highlighted an indication of poor wastewater treatment from industry,
agricultural as well as domestic households. In January 2022, the National
Green Tribunal (NGT) had ordered around hundred industrial units in the Tarapur MIDC area, Maharashtra’s Palghar district to
collectively pay around Rs 186 crore. This was a part of environmental
compensation to be paid by the industries, for polluting water bodies in the
region through releasing untreated effluents into them. These factors are set to help in expansion of
the Water Quality Sensor market size in the coming time.
