Point-of-Use Water Treatment Systems Market to Grow at a CAGR of 8.4% During the Forecast Period; Surging Requirements for Purifying Water by Removing Contaminants to Augment Market Expansion

The global point-of-use water treatment systems market size stood at USD 24.32 billion in 2024. The market is predicted to rise from USD 26.37 billion in 2025 to USD 46.35 billion by 2032, recording a CAGR of 8.4% from 2025 to 2032.

Fortune Business Insights™ presents this information in its report titled, “Point-of-Use Water Treatment Systems Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Product Type (Under the Counter Filters, Countertop Filters, Pitcher Filters, Faucet-mounted Filters, and Others), By Category (RO Filters, UV Filters, Gravity Filters, and Others), By Application (Residential and Light Commercial), By Distribution Channel (Offline Stores and Online Stores), and Regional Forecast, 2025-2032”

Point-of-use (POU) water treatment systems are mounted at both residential and commercial sites, providing water purification exactly where it is needed, such as under kitchen counters, bathroom showers, and faucets. These systems are appropriate for the final stage of water treatment in light commercial or home settings due to their low-volume capacity. When paired with point-of-entry water treatment solutions, they provide a comprehensive approach to purifying water by removing contaminants and softening it as needed. 

The COVID-19 pandemic brought significant economic and operational challenges to the global point-of-use water treatment systems industry. Nevertheless, as an essential service, the water treatment sector faced a milder economic hit compared to other manufacturing industries. As governments globally imposed lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus, disruptions in supply chains were widespread across the industry.

Increased Investments for a New Distribution Center by Top Players to Propel Market Growth

In February 2023, GE Appliances revealed plans to establish a new distribution center in Greenville County as part of an ongoing effort to grow its South Carolina operations. This investment in expanded distribution is aimed at supporting the company’s growing business needs.

Surging Demand for Smart Water Treatment Systems to Boost Market Progress

The Internet of Things has paved the way for smart water purifiers, a cutting-edge trend in water treatment. These advanced devices are set to replace conventional RO and UV systems, offering smartphone connectivity and a compact design. Users can dispense water with a single click, get alerts for timely filter changes, set customized fill times for bottles, and monitor daily consumption to prevent excess use.

Conversely, substantial manufacturing and maintenance costs of filters are impeding the point-of-use water treatment systems market growth.

Key Companies Emphasize Strategic Acquisitions to Broaden Their Regional Reach

Key players focus on maintaining a diverse product portfolio, leveraging advanced operational efficiency, and creating safe, cutting-edge water treatment technologies. Notable suppliers of point-of-use water treatment systems emphasize product innovation and strategic acquisitions to broaden regional reach and expand product lines to strengthen their market positions.
