Water Treatment Systems Sector Outlook

The economic value generated by the water treatment systems industry was estimated at approximately USD 35,035.9 million in 2022. This market incorporates a wide range of systems used for the improvement of the quality of the water which is used for drinking, cooking, washing, etc. The demand for water treatment systems is significantly driven by the growing concerns over the depletion of freshwater resources across the world and the rising concentration of chemical and other contaminants in the surface as well as groundwater sources. 

Manufacturers are frequently engaged in mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, as well as new product launches to maintain and gain market share in the global water treatment systems industry. These technological advancements have led to improved filtration and disinfection performance of the water treatment systems along with the improvement of the water aesthetics such as color, odor, and taste. These companies have been realizing greater profit margins in the sale of their flagship products. Thus, these companies have been focusing more on building a stronger brand reputation rather than laying emphasis on product innovation.

The water treatment systems industry is also witnessing significant growth owing to the rising population and industrialization. Developing economies, particularly in the Asia Pacific, are experiencing rapid industrialization and urbanization, driving the demand for water treatment systems installed at residential, commercial, and industrial locations. With rising concern over health and well-being, institutional places, colleges, and schools are increasingly focusing on the installation of point-of-use and point-of-entry water treatment systems at the premises which is expected to propel the growth of the global water treatment systems market over the forecast period. 

Point of Use Water Treatment Systems Market Analysis And Forecast

Point-of-use water treatment systems are cost-effective solutions for treating water for drinking purposes and other water usage. The market for point-of-use water treatment systems is driven by their rising popularity owing to their features, benefits, and performance pertaining to the removal of odor, chemicals, sediment, and dirt. The technologies used widely include water purification and water filtration systems. The rising popularity and increasing awareness of reverse osmosis water purification systems and water disinfection systems are likely to drive the growth of water treatment systems over the forecast period.

A point-of-use filtration system is put under a kitchen sink or is directly connected to a tap or faucet and is designed to be used at a particular spot in the house. The water is filtered once more after it has already been cleaned by the water supply department. These are essential devices that raise the water's quality so that it can be consumed both in household and business settings. 

Point of Entry Water Treatment Systems Market Analysis And Forecast

Point-of-entry water treatment systems are installed at home, schools, colleges, hotels, and other commercial & industrial facilities where the water enters the premises. POE systems use a single technology or a combination of technologies to handle problems with the incoming water. Point-of-entry systems are substantially larger than point-of-use systems because they handle significantly higher flow rates and volumes. The installation of POE systems can help remove the lead nitrate or other lead-based compounds from water which may have entered from the pipe systems and plumbing fixtures and can be extremely harmful. 

Growing industrialization, the commercial sector, and rising residential complexes across the world are likely to create increasing demand for point-of-entry water treatment systems over the forecast period. Moreover, owing to the increased water testing facilities, consumer health awareness, and rising accessibility to water treatment products, the market for point-of-entry water treatment systems is expected to grow over the forecast period. Furthermore, favorable regulations and government initiatives and schemes are likely to facilitate the installation of point-of-entry water treatment systems at various end-use locations, which in turn are expected to fuel the market growth.
