India Leak Detection Market

India Leak Detection Market Overview:

The India leak detection market size reached USD 0.30 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 0.50 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.10% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by stringent government regulations mandating pipeline safety, increasing investments in oil and gas infrastructure, and the rising adoption of advanced monitoring technologies. Growing concerns over water conservation, industrial safety, and environmental protection further accelerate demand for real-time leak detection solutions across multiple industries.

India Leak Detection Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of IoT and AI-Based Leak Detection Solutions

The leak detection market of India is aggressively transforming with IoT and AI-enabled monitoring systems being adopted. Segments like the oil and gas, water infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors are installing smart sensors, cloud-based computing, and machine learning (ML) algorithms in order to ensure more accurate leaks detection and reduce response times. These technologies offer real-time information gathering, pre-emptive maintenance, as well as off-site monitoring with reduced operational expense and environmental dangers. AI-based pattern identification and automated notice also enhance premature leak detection and avoid extensive destruction. Government initiatives, including the approval of 12 new industrial smart cities under the National Industrial Corridor Development Programme with an investment of INR 286.02 billion (US$3.41 billion), are accelerating the adoption of these advanced leak detection solutions. This trend is improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability across key industrial sectors.

Increasing Investments in Pipeline Infrastructure and Safety Regulations

India’s expanding pipeline infrastructure for oil, gas, and water distribution is fueling the demand for advanced leak detection systems. The government aims to extend the gas pipeline network by 10,000 kilometers, reaching 33,000 kilometers within the next four to five years, aligning with the projected 60% rise in natural gas demand by 2030. Stricter safety regulations and increased investments in monitoring technologies are reinforcing this growth. Regulatory authorities require real-time leak detection systems to avert dangerous incidents and ensure compliance with the environment. Pipeline companies are incorporating ultrasonic, fiber-optic, and acoustic sensing technologies to achieve better detection levels. Large-scale infrastructure projects such as city gas distribution networks and water supply pipeline networks are embracing smart leak detection systems to enhance operations. Such advancements are hugely influencing India's leak detection market dynamics.

Increasing Focus on Water Conservation and Non-Revenue Water (NRW) Reduction
With rising concerns over water scarcity, India’s leak detection market is being driven by a heightened focus on water conservation. Municipal corporations and water utility providers are implementing advanced leak detection technologies to curb non-revenue water (NRW) losses caused by pipeline leakages and inefficiencies in distribution networks. Solutions such as acoustic sensors, satellite-based leak detection, and GIS mapping are gaining traction for efficient leak identification. Government initiatives like the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and the Smart Cities Mission are fostering the adoption of smart water management systems, including automated leak detection. Notably, over 17,026 kilometers of water supply infrastructure are now monitored through Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, significantly improving leak prevention and reducing water losses. As urbanization accelerates, the demand for sustainable water resource management continues to propel the adoption of advanced leak detection technologies across the country.
