The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to global water scarcity, consumer preference for sustainability, government initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include smart technology integration, technological advancements, smart technology integration, customization and modularity, advancements in filtration technologies, collaborations and partnerships.

The growth of water-borne diseases is propelling the expansion of the point-of-use water treatment systems market. Waterborne diseases, resulting from the consumption of water contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms like protozoa, viruses, bacteria, and intestinal parasites, pose a significant public health threat. In developing countries, 1. 8 million people succumb to waterborne diseases annually, with over 90% of these fatalities affecting children under the age of five. The escalating prevalence of water-borne diseases underscores the increasing demand for point-of-use water treatment systems.

The anticipated increase in water pollution is set to drive the growth of the point-of-use water treatment market. Water pollution, characterized by the introduction of harmful substances such as pollutants, chemicals, and waste into water bodies, poses risks to the environment and public health. Point-of-use water treatment systems play a crucial role in addressing water pollution, providing individuals and communities with decentralized means to purify contaminated water sources. This ensures access to safe and clean drinking water. For example, as of July 2023, the Environment Agency reported 2,026 instances of sewage and water supply infrastructure issues, marking an increase from the 1,883 incidents reported in 2021. Among these, 368 cases impacted water supply assets, with a majority (345) originating from the water distribution system. This reflects a significant rise from the 189 cases reported in 2021. Therefore, increasing water pollution is driving the growth of the point-of-use water treatment market.

Technological innovation stands out as a noteworthy trend gaining traction in the point-of-use water treatment systems market. These innovations include the development of new technologies aimed at reducing water wastage during the purification process. Kent RO Systems, for instance, introduced the Zero Water Wastage technology, ensuring no water wastage occurs during the water purification process.

Major companies in the point-of-use water treatment systems market are developing advanced products such as PES In-Out Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes to enhance water purification and ensure consumer safety. PES In-Out Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are a type of ultrafiltration membrane made from Polyethersulfone (PES), a polymer recognized for its chemical stability, mechanical strength, and thermal resistance. For example, in March 2023, DuPont de Nemours, Inc., a US-based chemical company, introduced Multibore PRO. This next-generation multi-capillary PES In-Out Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane represents a significant advancement in membrane technology, featuring a unique 19-capillary geometry that improves both performance and sustainability in water treatment applications. The innovative design provides a higher surface area within a single fiber, allowing customers to minimize the number of modules needed for water purification systems.

In February 2022, Quench, a US-based provider of filtered water solutions, acquired Waterfresh Inc. for an undisclosed amount. This strategic move by Quench aims to enhance its dealer support and capitalize on attractive opportunities. Waterfresh Inc., an American company specializing in point-of-use drinking water systems, offers diverse solutions focused on green initiatives and filtered water services.
