정수기 시장 기회, 성장 촉진 요인, 산업 동향 분석, 예측(2025-2034년)

The Global Water Purifier Market was valued at USD 45.7 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a 7.1% CAGR from 2025 to 2034. Increasing concerns over water contamination and growing awareness of waterborne diseases are key drivers behind this growth. Industrial activities, urbanization, and outdated water infrastructure continue to contribute to water pollution, increasing the demand for purification solutions.

Wastewater management remains a major issue, as a large percentage of untreated water is discharged into the environment. While developed nations invest in advanced treatment facilities, aging infrastructure still leads to significant pollution concerns. This fuels the adoption of purification systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Product segmentation includes portable and fixed water purifiers. In 2024, fixed water purifiers accounted for USD 30.9 billion in revenue and are anticipated to grow at a 6.9% CAGR. These systems, installed in homes, businesses, and industrial sites, offer multiple filtration technologies, including reverse osmosis (RO), ultraviolet (UV), and activated carbon filters. The market has seen a rising preference for RO technology due to its efficiency in removing impurities. Fixed purifiers offer cost-effectiveness over time with durable filtration components, reducing the frequency of replacements. Advanced models address a wide range of contaminants, making them a comprehensive solution for long-term water safety.

Application-wise, the market is divided into residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. The residential segment led in 2024 with a 70.1% market share and is expected to grow at a 7.1% CAGR. Water pollution remains a widespread issue, with chemical, bacterial, and heavy metal contamination prompting households to adopt purification systems. Government regulations and initiatives promoting safer water consumption further accelerate demand. Higher disposable incomes also play a crucial role, as consumers prioritize health-focused investments.

The market is also categorized based on distribution channels, with offline and online sales dominating sales. In 2024, the offline segment held a 61% market share due to consumer preference for in-store purchases, product demonstrations, and personalized consultations. Many purifiers require professional installation, making physical retail locations a convenient choice. However, online sales are expected to gain traction as e-commerce platforms offer competitive pricing, wider product availability, and home delivery services.

Regionally, North America emerged as the leading market in 2024, capturing 34% of the global share with USD 15.6 billion in revenue. Rising concerns over contaminated drinking water and stringent regulations drive demand for purification systems in the region. Water quality monitoring has revealed widespread contamination, pushing more consumers toward reliable filtration solutions. Regulatory bodies continue to emphasize clean water initiatives, further supporting market expansion.
