Point Of Entry Water Treatment Systems Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Technology (Reverse Osmosis Systems, Distillation Systems), By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2021 - 2028

Report Overview

The global point of entry water treatment systems market size was valued at USD 8.81 billion in 2020 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6% from 2021 to 2028. Increasing demand for water treatment systems due to the growing water pollution and growing population influx in urban areas is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth. The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in boosting the residential water consumption due to stay-at-home orders leading to the increased demand for water treatment systems. The industrial market for point of entry water treatment systems was negatively impacted as many industries had to scale down their production and water usage due to supply chain disruptions and economic instability.

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in low mortgage rates in the U.S. leading to the growth in residential construction. This led to an increased demand for point of entry water treatment systems. Moreover, the governments’ push towards housing through its infrastructure bill is expected to create a positive sentiment towards residential construction, further boosting the market growth.

Rising awareness regarding the consumption of treated water has contributed significantly to the adoption of water treatment systems that can help avoid the spread of waterborne diseases. The adoption of point of entry water treatment systems is increasing on account of their ability to provide safe water, which is free from contaminants endangering human health.

Point of entry water treatment systems are considered more efficient as compared to point of use water treatment systems. However, setup and maintenance costs associated with these systems are high, which proves to be a deterrent for many consumers. Smaller residential or commercial properties prefer other solutions as point of entry water treatment systems can be economically unviable and costly.

The market for point of entry water treatment systems benefits from the number of regulations enacted by the regulatory authorities across Europe and North America. The consumers in the market for point of entry systems are highly sensitive regarding the installation cost of the systems. As a result, the companies are involved in offering discounts and price reductions in a bid to attract consumers.

Technology Insights

Reverse osmosis systems led the market and accounted for a 17.0% share of the global revenue in 2020. The increasing need for industrial process water, coupled with the rising middle-income groups, is expected to have a positive impact on the market growth. Favorable government regulations and initiatives regarding water treatment are also expected to play a key role.

Water softening is the process of eliminating magnesium, calcium, and other metals from the hard water. Hard water contains large amounts of lime, which leads to the build-up of material. This deposition can affect plumbing and promote galvanic corrosion. Growing construction activities such as redevelopment and replanning are likely to spur the demand for water softeners for use in plumbing.

Distillation systems are estimated to expand at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 to 2028. Distillation systems can effectively remove various micro-contaminants, along with chemical contaminants and other organic chemicals, making them effective for most of the pollutants. Consumers are using distillation systems in combination, ultimately increasing their demand.

The demand for filtration systems in the point of entry water treatment systems has been on the rise owing to the increased efficiencies offered by various manufacturers. Moreover, rising emphasis on decreased usage of chemicals in water treatment systems by regulatory bodies is expected to increase the demand for filtration systems during the forecast period.

Application Insights

The non-residential application segment led the market in 2020 and accounted for over 70.0% share of the global revenue owing to the growing commercial structures. Moreover, as countries open up after the pandemic, the need for replacing water treatment systems is likely, which is expected to boost the demand for point of entry water treatment systems across non-residential applications.

Point of entry water treatment systems have a large capacity as they are installed at the water inlet and therefore, are the preferred technology to cater to places where large volumes of water are required. These units are installed in large hotels, shopping malls, golf courses, sports arenas, performing art galleries, and metro, bus, and train stations.

The residential application segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period on account of the growing urbanization and increasing demand for various types of water dispensers, thereby leading to the rising demand for water treatment systems. Moreover, increasing water hardness and its ill effects on the system are expected to boost the market growth.

Increasing consumer income, along with growing awareness regarding water treatment and contamination, is expected to boost the demand for point of entry water treatment systems in residential applications. Moreover, the pandemic has increased vigilance amongst households leading to the increasing demand for water treatment.

Regional Insights

Asia Pacific led the market and accounted for over 35.0% share of the global revenue in 2020. Rapid industrialization and urbanization in the region, coupled with improving public infrastructure, including healthcare, transportation, and sports facilities in countries, such as China, India, and South Korea, are expected to have a positive impact on the market growth over the forecast period.

Increasing investments in the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and automotive sectors of the U.S. and Canada are expected to play a crucial role in triggering the demand for water treatment systems in North America over the forecast period. Rising demand for multifamily housing projects and growing consumer awareness regarding water filtration are leading to the increased demand for point of entry water treatment systems.

The Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. is carrying out administrative orders to ensure safe drinking water through public water systems. The announcement of the Drinking Water and Wastewater Infrastructure Act of 2021 in May 2021 by the government with funding of USD 35 billion is also expected to create opportunities for the market.

India is estimated to register a significant CAGR of 5.5% over the forecast period. Rising disposable incomes, growing accessibility to water, coupled with a growing interest in the provision of more and better drinking water, are expected to have a positive impact on the demand for point of entry water treatment systems.
