Global Water Filter Market- Overview

The water in open sources is contaminated with dust, chemicals, and other impurities. The water in open sources contains dust, chemicals, and other impurities. A water filter helps purify water by removing contaminants and making it safe for consumption. Water filters remove chemical impurities or sediments in the water using specific mechanical and chemical filtration techniques that are comparatively less expensive. Markets also offer several safe and feasible devices for advanced filtering.

Global Water Filter Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Increasing Global Awareness About Water Safety and Quality

Rising consumer awareness of water safety and quality due to increasing waterborne diseases worldwide is one of the primary factors responsible for rising water filter markets. The World Health Organization estimates that 80% of diseases are global, and unhygienic conditions and poor water quality cause 3.1% deaths. This factor is driving demand for water filters. In addition, water filter manufacturers continuously improve their technology and add new variations to their systems to ensure the maximum elimination of water impurities.

Increasing Utility in Developing and Underdeveloped Countries

Developing countries like India and China in Asia Pacific and underdeveloped areas in Africa are investing heavily in water purification infrastructures due to scarcity of drinking water. By running awareness campaigns and supporting companies that provide water purification, organizations like UNICEF and WHO are actively tackling the water crisis and the lack of healthy potable water. Additionally, manufacturers of water filters in these regions are expanding their product portfolios in order to take advantage of the vast potential of the market, which is predicted to create demand for water filters globally.

Restraints

Growing Popularity of Alternative Technologies

Water filters can be replaced by different technologies that deliver easily handled, low-cost purifiers, which hinders growth in the market. A number of global players are developing new technologies that reduce capital investment, operations, and maintenance costs, increase efficiency, and reduce waste generation, thus impeding market growth. On the other hand, here are some water filtering technologies that do not sufficiently destroy germs and bacteria, while others discharge contaminated water that contaminates other sources, negatively affecting the market for water filters.

Impact of COVID-19 on Global Water Filter Market

Owing to the nationwide lockdowns implemented by many countries worldwide, the global water filters market has been negatively impacted during the pandemic. After the pandemic outbreak in December 2019, the lockdown obstructed the production of water purifiers. Manufacturing firms faced difficulties due to reduced product demand and component supply disruptions. Moreover, several countries had to experience curfew-like situations where companies (except essential commodities and services providers) were not permitted to operate, which adversely affected the water purifier market and contributed to a decrease in water filter production.

Global Water Filter Market - By Product Type

Based on product types, the global water filter market is segmented into reverse osmosis, ultraviolet, gravity, sediment, water softener, and others. Due to its high-performance quality, low energy consumption, and frequent technological advancement in water purifiers, reverse osmosis holds the largest market share. Its demand is expected to grow among low-income groups, driving its market growth. On the other hand, gravity filters are projected to witness a high growth rate because of their cost-efficiency compared to the RO filters, because of which it is gaining traction in low-income countries.

Global Water Filter Market - By Sales Channel

Based on sales channels, the global water filter market is grouped into the distributor, direct, retail, wholesale, and online segments. Among these, the retails distribution channel segment accounts for the largest market share. Customers opt to purchase water filters from retail stores owing to the numerous discounts and convenience offered by such stores. Retail stores have high growth potential in developing countries due to the extensive presence of the middle-income population. The new wave of expansion through compact storage setup is also predicted to increase the demand for water filters in retail stores.

Global Water Filter Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global water filter market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle-East & Africa. Among these regions, North America dominates the global water filter market. Brand penetration is comparatively higher in developed countries such as the US and Canada. Moreover, residential water filtration unit is seen as a necessity in this region, especially in metros and urban cities due to the increased microbial and chemical pollution in surface water supplies. The growing awareness of the adverse effects of polluted surface water, as well as a declining amount of drinking water are likely to drive the region’s water filter market during the forecast period.
