Covid-19 Positively Impacted the Global Water Purifier Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 turned out to be an inflection point in the sales of water purifiers across North America, Europe, China, and several other economies. The entire supply chain of bottled water was paralyzed amidst the imposition of lockdown and restriction on movement, propelling the sales of water purifiers. COVID-19 pushed residential end-users to pursue a greater hygenic lifestyle, which further augmented the demand for sustainable water treatment products.
Eventually, the key countries in Europe such as Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the UK, Poland, etc., registered an increase in year-on-year growth ranging between 3% to 7% in 2020, over 2019. And, a similar trend is set to prevail in the forthcoming years.
Market Segmentation
Counter-top Carbon Accounted for a Significant Market Share
Based on Type, the Global Water Purifier Market bifurcates into Houseware, Countertop Carbon, Undersink Filtration, Undersink Others, Point-of-Entry Filtration, and Point-of-Entry Softening. Of all, Counter-top Carbon Water Purifiers held a significant market share in the previous few years. It owes to their rapidly increasing adoption in the residential sector due to the rising demand for freshwater.
Besides, the carbon filter helps remove 90% of harmful chemicals, such as volatile organic compounds, pesticides, and herbicides, from the drinking water, making it safe to drink. Additionally, the bad-tasting of tap water due to chemical usage to treat water also enabled people to shift toward using water purifiers. Thus, the surging need to improve the water quality has fueled the demand for counter-top carbon filters, thereby propelling the overall market growth, says MarkNtel Advisors in their research report, "Global Water Purifier Market Analysis, 2021."
