Top 5 Companies in the Europe Rainwater Harvesting Market Landscape

The Europe rainwater harvesting market size reached a value of more than USD 218.34 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% in the forecast period of 2024-2032 to reach USD 308.09 million by 2032. As per the analysis by Expert Market Research, the market is expected to be driven by the renovation wave in Europe and expanding demand for green roofing.

The increasing adoption of a sustainable lifestyle and the increasing efforts undertaken on the residential level to reduce ecological footprint are augmenting the implementation of rainwater harvesting systems. To expand the adoption of green buildings, by 2030, 35 million buildings could be renovated in Europe, expanding the demand for rainwater harvesting systems.

Rainwater harvesting aids in maintaining healthy soil, reducing carbon footprint, restoring the hydrologic cycle, and recharge groundwater, which may bolster the Europe rainwater harvesting market growth. The heightened interest in green roof systems in European countries such as Germany, Switzerland, and Scandinavia to capture and process rainwater on roofs while reducing water damage is likely to propel the growth of the market. 

The surging water demands across industry verticals, including agriculture and manufacturing industries, are expected to bolster the adoption of rainwater harvesting solutions in the forecast years. In 2022, the European manufacturing sector recorded a 0.4% growth compared to 2021.

In July 2023, a Dutch-Spanish consortium received EUR 3,000,000 to scale up rainwater reuse in European cities. The EU funding instrument for the environment and climate action, LIFE, funded the project. Two pilot sites for this project include Alphen aan de Rijn (the Netherlands) and Madrid (Spain), in which approximately 10 million litres of drinking water can be saved every year.
