Corporate and educational sectors have traditionally been the largest adopters of these coolers. However, a growing trend of adoption in healthcare and public sectors is spurred by the need to provide accessible and safe drinking water in these environments. The residential segment is also expanding, driven by consumer awareness of clean and readily available drinking water benefits. There is a noticeable shift towards eco-friendly and sustainable these cooler solutions.
These coolers' uses extend beyond simple hydration. They are integrated into various aspects of daily life and organizational operations. The most obvious use is to provide a consistent and reliable source of drinking water. Proper hydration is essential for maintaining overall health, supporting physical and cognitive performance, and preventing dehydration-related issues.
As rural China gains better access to piped water, the demand for modern water solutions, including these coolers, is rising. These coolers are already popular in urban areas and commonly used in homes, offices, and public spaces. With rural areas having access to cleaner water, households are likelier to adopt these coolers to ensure safe and convenient hydration, leading to a significant market opportunity for manufacturers.
The Government of India’s commitment to providing piped water to every household by 2024 through the Jal Jeevan Mission has significantly impacted the growth of this market. This flagship initiative, announced by the Prime Minister in 2019, aims to ensure that every rural and urban household in India has access to a safe and sustainable water supply.
