The water softening systems market was valued at $2,631.2 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $4,623.6 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2031.
The process of removing calcium, magnesium, and certain other metal cations from hard water is known as water softening. Any container, instrument, material, or chemical plant used to remove calcium ions, magnesium ions, and other metal cations from hard water to convert it to soft water is referred to as a water softening system. It is typically used to lessen the hardness of water, which is mostly performed by precipitating or absorbing pollutants from water using lime softening or ion-exchange resins or nanofiltration, or reverse osmosis membranes. Hard water, like in the case of boiler precipitation, is a dangerous problem, as the deposit of hard water minerals can interfere with heat transfer and potentially lead to boiler tube failure. In addition, increase in investments or expenditure in R&D, and the use of new technologies in water softening systems propel the market growth.
Furthermore, growing infrastructure projects that include installation of water softening systems and expanding economy that includes growing modernization and urbanization initiatives in both developed and developing countries, where people are becoming more aware of the need for water softeners, both contribute toward the water softening system market growth. For instance, in March 2020, Puronics, which is a leading manufacturer of water treatment systems for consumer and commercial market, launched solar-powered residential water softener solutions that allow homeowners to choose a nature-friendly option for water treatment. As a result, such factors are expected to propel the global market.
The global water softening systems market is segmented on the basis of softener type, cylinder type, end user, and region. On the basis of softener type, it is segregated into salt-based ion exchange softener and salt-free water softener. Depending on type, it is divided into twin cylinder and mono cylinder. On the basis of end user, it is segregated into residential and non-residential. Region wise, the market analysis is conducted across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa).

Executive Summary
According to the report, titled, “Water Softening Systems Market," the water softening systems market size was valued at $2.6 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $4.6 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2022 to 2031.Toxins, bacteria, chemicals, toxic fumes, hard water, and suspended solids are removed from water using a water softener. They lower the concentration of particulate matter in water and lessen the risk of contracting waterborne infections, making the water suitable for both residential and non-residential use. Increase in supplies of drinkable water and increase in urbanization and industrialization fuel the global need for these purifiers. In addition, rise in consumer awareness regarding importance of consuming safe water has a beneficial impact on water purifier sales across the globe. The most popular form of water softening systems used is the salt-based ion exchanger. These softeners can remove calcium and magnesium ions from hard water by replacing calcium and magnesium ions with sodium ions. Ion exchange happens within resin tanks of salt-based water softeners, lowering mineral count and increasing salt content of the water.
In terms of region, Europe has accounted major water softening systems market share in 2021. This is attributed to high demand for salt-based ion exchange softeners and salt-free water softeners across many countries. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to increase with high CAGR during the forecast period. This is attributed to increase in R&D investments in developing countries and rise in government investments in automation and smart solutions must be implemented on a large scale to bring energy efficiency, accelerate automation, reduce costs, and create a comfortable occupant experience in residential buildings.
Furthermore, water softening systems have greater efficiency of water treatment then other systems, resulting in increased demand for these systems. This is expected to boost demand for water softening systems in Asia-Pacific in the water softening systems market forecast.
The salt-based ion exchanged softeners segment registered highest revenue in 2021, owing to wide application in healthcare, construction, and logistics, and is expected to increase with highest CAGR, owing to surge in adoption for residential and non-residential purposes.
Furthermore, key players have implemented various strategic moves such as product launch, collaboration, and partnership to strengthen their market position. For instance, in February 2021, Rheem, a leading global manufacturer of water heating and water treatment, introduced the Rheem Preferred series water softeners with "Learning Technology,” which analyses water usage patterns in real time and allow families to optimize soft water for home while saving hundreds of dollars on salt, water, and electricity.
However, during the pandemic, various manufacturers in the water softening systems market had to stop their businesses in countries such as China, the U.S., and India. This break directly impacted sales of water softening systems companies. In addition, lack of manpower and raw materials constricted supply of equipment of water softening systems, which has negatively impacted growth of the market. However, production facilities and introduction of vaccines for coronavirus disease are anticipated to lead to re-opening of water softening companies.
