Water Softener Market by Product (Salt Based and Salt Free), Application (Residential, Commercial and Industrial) and Geography (North America, Europe, APAC and RoW)-Forecast up to 2028
Water softening is the method used for removing calcium and magnesium salts from the water which make the water hard and substitute them with other softer minerals such as sodium and potassium which is done by water softeners. Hard water is unacceptable in the applications of various household and industrial since it requires much soap and leaves behind a dirty layer of froth which is difficult to wash out. The hard water can have harmful impacts on human health. The poor water quality, characterized by hard water with high mineral content, can have adverse effects on household appliances, plumbing systems, and skin and hair health. Consumers' increasing awareness of the importance of water quality for overall health and well-being drove the growth of the water softeners market. In addition to this, the hard water causes limescale buildup in pipes, water heaters, and other water-using appliances, reducing their efficiency and longevity. Water softeners offered a solution to prevent scaling and extend the lifespan of these appliances, reducing maintenance costs which further accelerate the market growth. But somehow, the availability of other alternative treatment technologies in market is likely to hamper the growth of the market. The Water Softeners Market is expected to grow at the rate of 7.0% CAGR by 2028.
