Europe Water Filters Market

Europe Water Filters Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The water filters market in Europe is estimated to progress at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2024 to 2029 and the European market size is expected to be worth USD 7.67 billion by 2029 from USD 5.28 billion in 2024.

Water filters are devices employed to decontaminate water from harmful substances, chemicals, pathogens, microorganisms, and other dissolved solids and to make it portable. Nan Yang Technology University in Singapore recently developed a multi-functional water filtration membrane. This new water filter technology replaced the usual polymer-based water filtration membranes with titanium dioxide nanotechnology. According to the UN and the WHO, every 21 seconds, a child and close to 3.5 million individuals die in a year in developing countries owing to waterborne diseases caused by drinking contaminated water. The situation in the growing economies of Europe is worse owing to the scarcity of freshwater, an increase in pollution, and a fast increase in population. Hence, development in the incidence of waterborne disease mainly boosts the call for water filter market trends. Diminishing the quality of water is resulting in major health problems. The declining water quality is a result of dumping untreated sewage, chemicals, pesticides, nutrients, and garbage from factories, agriculture, and municipal corporations into water bodies.

The increasing prevalence of healthcare services, changes in economic & social systems, and improved diagnostics have developed the health of customers across different regions. Therefore, a rise in health consciousness and an upsurge in the incidence of waterborne diseases boost the demand for water purification systems. Furthermore, an increase in disposable income in growing nations fuels the expansion of the water filter market. The rise in income level expands consumers' purchasing ability, which could result in a higher standard of living. Besides, the demand for water purification systems in developing countries of Europe is boosted by the increasing availability of safe water by municipalities and the rise in the number of water recycling treatments. As the disposable income of the customer is rising, individuals are more interested in having a better lifestyle and purified water. For this purpose, a rise in the expansion of the water purification market can be seen. Escalated incidence of waterborne diseases has resulted in the water filtration market expansion.

The dominance of significant users of water purifiers, like industrial establishments and municipalities, will be advantageous for market expansion during the foreseen period. The nitrate concentration in Germany in water reservoirs is leading to rising health concerns with regard to babies and pregnant women. 

As there is the availability of several alternatives in this business, the manufacturer is facing issues in this market. The rise in the number of unorganized players becomes a critical restraint for this market.
