Market Overview:
The global 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 water softeners from residential, industrial, and commercial applications. Salt-based water softeners are expected to dominate the market during the forecast period owing to their low installation and maintenance costs as compared to salt-free water softeners. However, salt-free water softeners are expected to witness higher growth rates owing to their ecofriendly nature and growing consumer awareness about the benefits of using these devices. North America is estimated account for largest share of the global water softener market in 2018, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
A water softener is a household appliance that is used to remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water. These ions are responsible for the hardness of the water, which can cause problems such as clogged pipes and appliances, spots on dishes and glasses, and a decrease in the life expectancy of these items. A water softener replaces the calcium and magnesium ions with sodium or potassium ions, making the water "soft.
Salt Based Water Softeners:
Water softeners are used to reduce the hardness of water. The most common way of doing this is by using a salt based additive. There are different types of salts that can be used such as table salt, rock Salt and Sea Salts (salt from the ocean). Table salt is usually preferred over rock or sea salts because it costs less and has better availability. On account of these factors table salt has been dominating the market in terms hard water treatment solutions globally for many years now.
Salt Free Water Softeners:
Water softeners are used to reduce the hardness of water. The most common type of water softener is sodium bicarbonate, which reacts with calcium and magnesium in hard water to form a salt-free compound called coagulation inhibitor. This process does not affect the taste of drinking water; however, it reduces the amount of waste going into toilets and kitchens as well as saving energy by reducing plumbing costs.
Application Insights:
The residential segment held the largest market share of more than 60% in 2017. The growing trend of moving into a single room accommodation is expected to boost product demand in the residential sector over the forecast period. Moreover, increasing urbanization across various regions coupled with rising disposable income levels is anticipated to drive growth over the forecast period.
Commercial application was estimated at more than 1,000 units in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 during the same period. The softeners are widely used by commercial establishments including hotels, restaurants and small scale cafes due largely to their abilityto eliminate hardness caused due minerals such as calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate from water whichare often found together forming deposits inside drinking water systems especially if they are old or located near natural sources such as springs or wells that contain these minerals.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing awareness regarding water conservation, growing population, and rapid industrialization & commercialization. Rising demand for soft water from emerging economies such as China and India owing to their rapidly expanding industries will drive the market further. Moreover, rising disposable income coupled with a growing preference for luxury lifestyle products will have a positive impact on industry growth over the next eight years.
Europe is anticipated to witness significant growth during the forecast period owing to stringent regulations by various regulatory bodies such as European Commission (EC) regarding usage of excessive amounts of chemicals in manufacturing processes along with strict laws against toxic waste disposal in landfills or oceans etc., which has led manufacturers focus towards developing eco-friendly products that meet EC standards thus driving product adoption across end-use sectors including residential & commercial establishments.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of water softeners among consumers is expected to drive the market growth.
- Rising disposable income of consumers is anticipated to boost the demand for water softeners in the coming years.
- Growing installation of water softeners in households and industries is projected to propel market growth over the forecast period.
- Technological advancements in water softener products are likely to create new opportunities for market players over the next few years.
