WATER PURIFIER MARKET ANALYSIS

The global water purifier market is estimated to be valued at US$ 83.31 Billion in 2022 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 8% over the forecast period (2023-2030).

Drivers

• Increasing concerns over water safety

Growing concerns over water safety are expected to boost the global water purifier market growth. For instance in 2022, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), eight billion people use a feces-contaminated drinking-water source and around 502,000 people die of diarrhea. In order to tackle this, government bodies are adopting various measures to overcome these issues. Thus, rising concerns over water safety are expected to drive the global water purifier market growth.

• Growing prevalence of water borne diseases

Increasing adoption of advanced technologies for water purification systems to ensure the effective elimination of impurities from water is driving the market growth. Some of the latest developments in water purification technology are acoustics nanotube technology, potable products, photo catalytic water purification technology, water filtration with nanotechnology, euglena bio filtration system, sun spring system, sunlight, and high tech materials.

Market Opportunities

• Increasing population

Rising disposable income has increased the purchasing power of consumers, which is expected to raise the demand for water purifiers. Improving living standards coupled with rising concerns over water safety in developing countries and growing health-conscious people around the globe is further expected to accelerate the market growth.

The rising number of wastewater treatment plants around the globe is projected to foster the global water purifier market growth. For instance, in May 2022, Eureka Forbes Ltd. presented its current advertising campaign with Madhuri Dixit as its brand representative. The advertising highlights the Aqua guard line's one-of-a-kind copper and zinc cartridge capabilities. The concept was developed by Taproot Dentsu India Communications Pvt. Ltd.

Market Trends

• Developing new designs

The rising trend of introducing unique design-based products such as discreet passive model, faucet mount design, under sink design, and multi-stage filter model. Moreover, the adoption of specifically membrane systems especially in Europe is further expected to propel the market growth over the forecast period.

Rising demand for UV and gravity-based purifiers is gaining traction in the market. A UV water purifier is used to treat contaminated water with germicidal ultraviolet light. UV light prevents the spread of disease by killing the bacteria present in the water and makes it safe for drinking.

Market Restraints

• High cost of water purifier systems

The strong presence of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that sell their products at competitive prices. This is expected to impact the market share of organized players in the region. This is expected to restraint the market growth of the water purifier.

The high cost of water purifiers that feature advanced technology is projected to restrict the adoption of water purifiers, thus hampering the market growth.
