Stormwater
Stormwater infrastructure assets, designed to handle historical levels of precipitation, are increasingly insufficient to withstand the frequency and severity of today’s storms. In the U.S. alone, stormwater and flooding events have been responsible for US$156.8 billion in damages since 2000, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Association, driving the deployment of more hardware, innovative solutions, and capital toward U.S. stormwater infrastructure. According to an article in Nature Climate Change, flood damage in Europe is expected to reach €44 billion per year in the long term (2020-2050).
Stormwater management represents a growing area of investment and concern for utilities, transportation departments, and private property owners. Capital expenditures (CAPEX) for stormwater management in the U.S. are projected to grow from US$34.6 billion to US$54.5 billion between 2023 and 2030.

Emerging stormwater management solutions: Green infrastructure and digital technologies address changing climate
Digital technologies for stormwater management—such as flood monitoring, forecasting, smart ponds, and stormwater network modeling—along with alternative ‘green infrastructure’ solutions like rain gardens and permeable pavement, are becoming more mainstream. These emerging solutions are supplementing traditional ‘gray’ infrastructure for stormwater, which includes drains, pumps, catch basins, chambers, and decentralized treatment systems.>>Learn More
Commercial & industrial (C&I) companies take stormwater management into their own hands
The commercial and industrial segment accounts for 57% of the total addressable U.S. stormwater market opportunity, with private firms under pressure to invest in decentralized infrastructure to offset onsite impacts from office buildings, parking lots, and manufacturing facilities.>>Learn More
Europe focuses on early stormwater detection
In 2012, the European Union launched the European Flood Awareness System (EFAS) to enhance flood prediction accuracy and mitigate damage. EFAS provides vital protection to buildings and infrastructure, including during events like Storm Boris in 2024. It relies on a combination of satellite and terrestrial data, enabling scenario planning, preventive actions, and informed decision-making. Despite these efforts, insurance companies are facing record-breaking claims, particularly in Austria and Poland. >>Learn More
Leading stormwater infrastructure and equipment suppliers pursue strategic M&A and new market opportunities
Key players such as Advanced Drainage Systems, Oldcastle, Northwest Pipe, and IPEX are capitalizing on policy, funding, and investment momentum by acquiring companies in the stormwater space. These acquisitions are driving revenue growth, expanding geographic footprints, and helping to reduce business risk through diversification.>>Learn More
