IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON SMART WATER PURIFIER MARKET 

The COVID-19 outbreak had a drastically adverse impact on the world economy during its peak in 2020, and is continuing to shatter the economies and industries of several countries. Until the outbreak of COVID – 19, the smart water purifier industry was experiencing a substantial growth; however, the outbreak of the virus led to notable slowdown in the production activities of various industries deploying the use of market solutions. The various containment measures, such as lockdowns, business shutdown, and trade restrictions led to a negative impact on the production and supply chain of smart water purifier market till the second half of 2020, and during the second large outbreak in 2021.

With industrial activities picking pace in the last quarter of 2020, market players are experiencing steady growth in demand from end users. Moreover, the massive requirement of smart water purifiers in residential, commercial, and industrial sectors has created a stable demand for smart water purifiers across the world.

Furthermore, the pandemic has invoked a rising need for high-quality water purification systems for industrial, non-industrial, and residential applications, as the clients require better water quality to keep infections at bay. The global smart water purifier market plummeted initially due to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related regulations. However, it is expected to recover strongly due to the increasing need for high-quality, clean drinking water in numerous end-use verticals over the next few years.

Market Insights– Smart Water Purifier Market

Increasing Demand for Smart Water Purifiers in Developing Nations Creating Growth Opportunities

Decreasing drinking water supplies in several emerging nations, such as India and China in Asia Pacific and a few countries in Africa, leads to a rise in smart water purification infrastructure expenditure. Increasing awareness campaigns by leading health organizations such as WHO to combat the water crisis and shortage of clean drinking water will also aid the proliferation of the smart water purifier market in the forthcoming years.

These organizations are also sponsoring water purifier firms, which, in turn, has prompted manufacturers to announce better offers in these areas to maximize profits. They sell low-cost water filtering systems such as 'Cycloclean,' created by Japan's Nippon Basic Company. This is a water purification bike made specifically for isolated areas. Another example worth mentioning is the launch of a compact cigar-shaped water filter tube by LifeStraw Water Filters and Purifiers.

Some companies are also engaging in partnerships and collaborations to generate revenues. For example, Whirlpool Corporation is extending its distribution and production capabilities to broaden its regional reach. Pureit also established its business in India by partnering with community-based water plants, providing a lucrative opportunity for the growth of the smart water purifier market during the forecast period.

Connectivity-Based Insights

Based on the connectivity, the smart water purifier market is segmented into Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and smart app. The Wi-Fi segment dominates the smart water purifier market. Water purifiers have become a need in today's world. Wi-Fi-enabled smart water purifier guarantees that customers consume safe, clean water and live a healthy lifestyle. The multi-stage filtering process removes pollutants and ensures pure water, and they are used in almost every kitchen as they come in various sizes and styles. For instance, Xiaomi provides the Mi Water Purifier, which is an efficient alternative because it can connect to Wi-Fi and keep consumers informed about the water quality, resulting in the growth of the smart water purifier market.

Technology-Based Insights

Based on technology, the global smart water purifier market has been segmented into ultra-filtration (UF), ultraviolet (UV), reverse osmosis, multi-stage purifiers, and others. The reverse osmosis segment is dominating the smart water purifier market. A reverse osmosis (RO) smart water purifier separates ions, undesirable compounds, and bigger particles from drinking water using a partly permeable membrane. Applied pressure is utilized in reverse osmosis to counteract osmotic pressure, a colligative phenomenon generated by potential chemical differences in the solvent. Reverse osmosis can remove a wide range of dissolved and suspended chemical species and biological species (most notably bacteria) from water and is utilized in industrial operations and potable water production. For instance, KENT RO SYSTEMS LTD provides a RO smart water purifier that eliminates bacteria and viruses and dissolves pollutants, making it pure.

End User-Based Insights

Based on the end user, the global smart water purifier market has been segmented into residential, commercial, and industrial. The residential type segment dominates the smart water purifier market. The best home water purifier ensures that people drink clean, hygienic water each day, protecting them from waterborne infections. A RO water purifier, also known as reverse osmosis (RO) smart water purifier, purifies water and eliminates all disease-causing germs using cutting-edge technology. For instance, the Aquagrand Skyland 18 L residential smart water purifier has a pre-sediment filter, pre-carbon filter, UV chamber, and RO membrane, designed to purify the water and eliminate germs, bacteria, and harmful particles.

Sales Channel-Based Insights

Based on Sales Channel, the Smart Water Purifier Market is segmented into retail stores, direct sales, and online stores. The Retail Store segment led the Smart Water Purifier Market. A retail business buys smart water purifiers in bulk from manufacturers, either directly or through a wholesaler, and then resells them to customers in smaller amounts for a profit. The final link in the supply chain between manufacturers and customers is the retail shop. Some retail establishments advertise themselves as wholesale retailers with wholesale prices. For instance, Reliance Digital shops sell a variety of smart water purifiers from various companies from one location.

Players operating in the smart water purifier market are mainly focused on developing advanced and efficient products.

  • In May 2021, Virgin Pure had explained the benefits of the Virgin Pure water system. A water system is a single, stylish device installed by Virgin Pure engineers in homes and offices across the UK that provides unlimited, instant, pure boiling, or chilled H2O. Virgin Pure is playing an important part in making Britain plastic-free.
  • In April 2022, A.O. Smith Corporation announced the acquisition of Giant Factories, Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of residential and commercial water heaters, for approx. US$ 192 million. The acquisition strengthens the company's leadership position as a global water treatment giant.

Frequently Asked Questions


What are reasons behind smart water purifiers market growth?

The absorption of microscopic organisms—such as bacteria and viruses—in water bodies and contact with excretion result in water contamination, leading to the spread of waterborne diseases. Thousands of people die each year due to spread of waterborne illnesses such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea, especially in emerging and third-world countries where safe and clean water is scarce. The lack of cleanliness is another leading cause of severe infections. Drinking clean and pure water from water purifiers is the best way to avoid contracting waterborne infections.
For instance, KENT Grand Star is an advanced RO smart water purifier that includes several purification processes such as RO+UV+UF+TDS Control + UV In-tank to offer customers with 100% clean drinking water. The Zero Water Wastage Technology on the KENT Grand Star Mineral RO Water Purifier ensures that no water is wasted throughout the purifying process. Therefore, the rising awareness regarding waterborne disease is promoting the adoption of smart water purifiers.
