The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for water hardness test strips from various end-use industries, such as industrial and laboratory use. In addition, the growing awareness about the benefits of using water hardness test strips is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, calcium concentration measurement accounted for a major share of the global water hardness test strips market in 2017. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030 owing to its wide application in various industries such as food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and others.
Product Definition:
Water hardness test strips are an easy way to measure the water's hardness. The importance of water hardness test strips is that they help you determine how much soap or detergent to use when cleaning something. If the water is too hard, then too much soap will be needed and it could end up costing more money in the long run.
Calcium Concentration Measurement:
Calcium concentration measurement is a test that measures the amount of calcium present in water. It is used to monitor and control the hardness of water. The test strips are used for this purpose, which can be easily purchased from any store.
The major factor driving market growth includes growing awareness among consumers regarding health and hygiene, especially in developing countries such as India and China where population expansion has led to an increase in demand for better healthcare facilities at home as well as abroad.
Magnesium Concentration Measurement:
Magnesium concentration measurement is used in water hardness test strips. These test strips are widely used by industries such as municipal, industrial and commercial for testing the hardness of water. The magnesium concentration measurement is a crucial step in the entire process as it helps to determine whether or not the sample taken from a given source is fit for use in an application that requires hard water.
Application Insights:
The industrial use segment held the largest market share of more than 60% in 2017. The increasing demand for water hardness testing strips from industries including oil & gas, chemical, power generation and pulp & paper is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
Industrial use includesHardness Measurement Instruments (HMI) used in laboratories for process control as well as boiler and equipment inspection. It also includes devices used by researchers for testing solutions such as chemicals or slurries that are added to boilers or cooling water towers during maintenance operations. These devices ensure safety requirements such as total dissolved solids (TDS), free calcium carbonate (FCC) and total magnesium (TMMG) do not exceed prescribed limits are met before the solution is released into the boiler or tower system.
Water hardness test strips have wide applications across industries including power generation, oil & gas, chemical manufacturing etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for more than half of global population and industrial activities are also concentrated in this region. Thus, it has become a hub for business as well as manufacturing activities across the globe.
The increasing number of industries coupled with rising demand from residential areas is anticipated to drive growth over the forecast period. In addition, countries such as China, India, South Korea have abundant water resources which can be utilized sustainably thus making it an attractive place for investment purposes among others.
Europe was valued at USD X billion in 2017 owing to growing awareness regarding health hazards associated with hard water caused by calcium and magnesium concentration exceeding limits prescribed by WHO (World Health Organization).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for water hardness test strips from various industrial sectors owing to the benefits offered by these strips in terms of quality control and process optimization.
- Rising awareness about the importance of water hardness testing and its impact on various industrial processes is expected to fuel the demand for water hardness test strips over the forecast period.
- Growing popularity of online shopping is anticipated to boost sales of water hardness test strips, as these products are generally available through e-commerce platforms at competitive prices.
- Technological advancements in manufacturing processes are likely to result in lower production costs for water hardness test strip manufacturers, which is expected to lead to a decline in prices and an increase in their adoption over the forecast period.
