What Is Covered Under Water Purifiers Market?

Water purifiers are the devices used to purify water from biological contaminants, toxins, harmful chemicals & gases, and other impurities such as solid particles so that it can be safe for drinking. It also decreases the level of hazardous pollutants in it and makes it suitable for industries before releasing it into the water bodies. The main technology types of water purifiers are RO water purifiers, UV water purifiers, and gravity-based water purifiers. A UV water purifier uses a germicidal ultraviolet wavelength to kill bacteria, viruses, and cysts (like Cryptosporidium and Giardia). UV radiation with a wavelength of 254 nm disrupts the DNA of pathogenic microorganisms, preventing them from reproducing. Bacteria cannot spread disease through drinking water because of ultraviolet light. The various water purifier devices are wall-mounted, countertop, tabletop, faucet-mounted, and under-the-sink (UTS) which are categorized into portable and non-portable water purifiers. The products are distributed through retail stores, direct sales, and online distribution channels that are used by industrial, commercial, and household end-users.

What Is The Water Purifiers Market Growth Forecast?

The water purifiers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $54.11 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of smart purification systems, growth in industrial water treatment needs, increasing preference for low energy purification solutions, expansion of retail and online purifier sales, rising focus on sustainable water purification technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for safe drinking water, increased adoption of multi stage purification technologies, growing use of portable and compact water purifiers, expansion of household and commercial water filtration needs, rising shift toward chemical free and eco friendly purification.

What Is The Driver Of The Water Purifiers Market?

The scarcity of safe water is contributing to the growth of the water purifier market. According to the United States National Ocean Service, about 97.0% of the water on earth is salt water and the remaining 3.0% is available in the form of ice, vapor, groundwater, and freshwater sources. Factors such as growing industrialization, urbanization, and increased population are contaminating water with harmful contaminants. Contaminants in water can be found in the form of disinfection by-products, solvents and pesticides, arsenic, and others. Also, depleting water sources further adds to the safe water crisis across the globe. Water must be treated or purified before use, and this is done by the water purifiers. For instance, in March 2023, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a France-based specialized agency, globally, 2 billion people, or 26% of the population, lack access to safe drinking water, while 3.6 billion people (46%) do not have access to safely managed sanitation. Additionally, between two and three billion people face water shortages for at least one month each year. By 2050, the number of people in urban areas experiencing water scarcity is expected to double, reaching 1.7 to 2.4 billion. Therefore, the rise in the scarcity of safe water is expected to boost the demand for water purifiers over the forthcoming years.

Global Water Purifiers Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the water purifier market are introducing advanced technologies, such as UVC LED technology, to improve water purification efficiency and ensure safer drinking water. UVC LED technology is a purification method that uses ultraviolet (UV) light in the UVC spectrum (typically between 200-280 nanometers) to inactivate or kill bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens in water. For instance, in November 2023, Amway, a US-based company, focuses on promoting a healthier lifestyle, announced the launch of the New eSpring Water Purifier. eSpring Water Purifier is a water purifier that features advanced UV-C LED technology and the e3 Carbon Filter to effectively eliminate harmful microorganisms and reduce over 170 contaminants in drinking water. This includes a remarkable ability to destroy bacteria by up to 99.9999%, viruses by up to 99.99%, and cysts by up to 99.9%. The redesigned eSpring is more compact and versatile, with multiple tubing configurations. The filter change process has been simplified to take only two minutes once a year, requiring no tools.
