Water Hardness Test Strip Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2022-2028)
The water hardness test strip market is expected to register a CAGR of approx. 4.5% over the period of 2022-2028. Originally, water hardness was understood to be a measure of the capacity of water to precipitate soap. The hardness of water is the major problem for daily consumption as well as for industrial purposes. The hardness of water is based on its alkaline earth contents. There are several methods used for determination of hardness of water such as calcium and magnesium determination. The most commonly used method for water hardness testing is by water hardness test strip which are useful for the qualitative as well as semi-qualitative estimation of hardness of water to be used in industrial application and daily requirement. This type of method is simple, economical and can be used in any region where sophisticated instruments or technique are not available which fuel the growth of global water hardness test strip market. The growing demand for water hardness test strip can be attributed to increased government and regulatory participation in water quality monitoring and rise in number of industrial establishments are crucial factor driving the market expansion as are high health risks connected with hard water. For instance, the International Bottle Water Association (IBWA) has provided the code of practice to guide bottled water industry stakeholders with technical and federal regulations. All bottlers are required to comply with state or local agency regulatory requirements in areas where their bottles are sold and distributed. FDA regulations mandate that every bottled water be processed to undergo physical, chemical and hardness tests. Furthermore, a rise in manufacturer’s research and development and technological advancements, a surge in different end use applications are likely to boost market demand for water hardness strip testing.
