Consumer Water Treatment

Consumer Water Treatment

Demand for consumer water treatment systems and consumables is forecast to increase 3.4% per year to $4.5 billion in 2024. Growth will be driven by macroeconomic factors like existing home sales and housing completions, which supports the sale of point-of-entry systems and some point-of-use systems, like under-the-sink models. Additionally, gains will be supported by continued consumer education about the issues in their water and how they are best able to treat them. Advancing technology will help to increase overall value gains and gains in sales of recurring revenue like consumables.
