Leak Detection Services - Water: Market Size & Forecast 2026

The global water leak detection services market sits at approximately USD 3.2 billion in 2025 (base year), held in a structurally tight balance between aging municipal water infrastructure across North America and Europe, accelerating adoption of continuous IoT monitoring platforms, and a tariff-exposed equipment supply chain that raises the effective cost of service delivery. We expect the market to reach roughly USD 5.2 billion by 2032, implying a 7.2% CAGR over the seven-year forecast period, which sits at the high end of what municipal budget cycles typically sustain. > **Analyst Take.** The consensus 7.2 percent CAGR is directionally right but overstates near-term execution. Municipal budget cycles run two to three years; a 7 percent services growth rate implies near-doubling inside a decade, which the data does not fully support against the fiscal constraints mid-sized cities face.
