According to a report published by Bluefield Research, a water-focused market research firm based in Boston, Mass., by 2030, yearly investment in water and wastewater management will be more than $62 billion U.S. The firm attributes this to the explosion of AI-powered technology (driving the need for more data centers), the push to bring semiconductor manufacturing back to the U.S., energy transition, and national security.
All of this is good news for PHCP-PVF wholesalers, who play a key role in the deployment and maintenance of the country’s industrial water infrastructure.
According to Daniel Hogge, vice president at Ferguson Industrial, an industrial equipment supplier with headquarters in Newport News, Virginia., markets that prioritize reliability (and thus, uptime) are experiencing significant growth. He points to data centers, food and beverage facilities, municipal plants, power generation, and process manufacturing as examples. “Any place where downtime or inconsistent water quality carries a high cost,” he observed. For these organizations, the focus is on building more robust water supply, treatment, and cooling systems.
Hogge points to three primary trends that are transforming industrial water right now:
Resilience, which must be addressed during infrastructure design. “Plants want systems that stay steady under changing conditions, so durability, redundancy, and stronger control of pressure and flow are getting more attention,” Hogge explained.
Smart systems that offer remote control, flow verification, and monitoring capabilities make it easier for operators to manage performance and predict system failures.
