Executive Summary
State governments and municipalities are extensively promoting water fountains and bottle filling stations at public places such as recreational centers and national parks, among others, with the primary aim to reduce plastic waste. Additionally, states across the U.S. have been introducing bills to ensure accessibility to clean potable water for children. Demand for drinking fountains and bottle-fillers will grow with increasing health awareness and plastic waste awareness in citizens.
“Educational institutes are expected to undergo an increased demand for drinking fountains in the coming years. The demand will likely be driven by mandates to provide free potable water in schools and rise in condominium construction,” notes Shilpa Tiku, Chief Research Officer and Partner.
