Market Overview:
The global washing water softeners market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for washing water softeners from households, commercial establishments, and industrial units across the globe. In addition, the rising awareness about the benefits of using washing water softeners is also contributing to the growth of this market. Salt-based water softener systems are dominating this market and are expected to continue their dominance during the forecast period as well. These systems use salt as a regenerant that helps remove hardness minerals from water and make it softer for various applications such as laundry, dishwashing, carwashing, etc. However, salt-free or magnetic water conditioners are gaining popularity owing to their eco-friendly nature and no wastage of brine discharge generated by salt-based systems.
Product Definition:
A washing water softener is a device used to soften the water used in a washing machine. This is important because hard water can damage clothing, as well as leave behind mineral deposits on dishes and other items washed in the machine. A washing water softener typically consists of two tanks: one filled with salt and the other with resin beads that act as a filter. When hard water passes through the resin beads, the sodium ions from the salt replace the calcium and magnesium ions, making the water softer.
Salt Based Water Softener:
Water softeners are used to make water softer so that it will dissolve the hard minerals and will not leave a residue on clothes or skin. The most commonly used salt based water softener is sodium alkyl sulphonate, which is also known as alkyl sulphonate. It helps in dissolving the hardness caused due to calcium and magnesium salts in tap or well water.
Salt Free Water Softener:
Salt free water softener is a substitute for chlorine-based or sodium chloride based water softeners. It contains zero salt and hence can be used in washing water hardeners as well. The product has gained popularity owing to the reduced risk of health issues associated with its consumption such as high blood pressure, heart diseases, etc. In addition, it also helps prevent damage to appliances caused by hard water which makes it an effective substitute for traditional products available in the market today.
Application Insights:
The household segment held the largest market share of more than 60% in 2017. The demand for washing machines is generally higher in urban areas as compared to rural areas. This can be attributed to increasing consumer preference for modern appliances, especially in developed countries like Germany, the U.K., and the U.S., owing to which, demand for washing machines is also highest there.
Commercial application was estimated at USD 446 million in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rising number of commercial laundry services across regions including Middle East & Africa and Asia Pacific where professional cleaners are employed who use softeners on a daily basis while cleaning clothes or dishes prior by using hard water due primarilyto high concentration of calcium.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing rapid urbanization, which has resulted in increased spending on residential as well as commercial infrastructure. This, in turn, is likely to drive demand for washing machines across various application segments over the next eight years.
The growing population and increasing disposable income are also expected to contribute toward higher product sales volume of front loading machines due to their superior features such as compact design and low maintenance cost compared with top loading models.
Europe accounted for more than 20% share of global revenue in 2017 owing to high product penetration rates by German manufacturers such as Tritium Wasser und Kanalisation GmbH & Co.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of using washing water softeners is one of the key growth drivers for this market.
- Rising disposable income levels in developing countries is also propelling demand for washing water softeners, as consumers are increasingly able to afford these products.
- The growing popularity of front-loading washing machines is also aiding the growth of the global washing water softeners market, as these machines are more efficient in terms of using less water and energy than traditional top-loading models.
- Rapid urbanization and increasing population density are leading to an increase in demand for residential housing with attached laundries, which is further boosting sales of washing water softeners worldwide. 5) Growing concerns about environmental pollution and its impact on human health is prompting many consumers to switch to eco-friendly appliances such as washing water softeners, thereby driving market growth
