NEW YORK, July 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The water softener market is set to grow by USD 879.16 million from 2022 to 2027, progressing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. The report offers an up-to-date analysis regarding the current global market scenario, the latest trends and drivers, and the overall market environment. Growing consumer awareness about water-softening products and the advantages of water-softener systems is a major factor driving the market growth. Soft water is free of minerals that cause water hardness, making it easier for detergents and soap to dissolve and lowering the requirement for cleaning products by over 50%. Also, it prevents hair and skin irritation and clogging of pipes and appliances, prolonging their lifespan. For household appliances, water softeners are extremely effective products. Moreover, water from salt-based softeners contains high levels of sodium and needs additional treatment before being used for cooking or drinking. Nevertheless, it can be used for daily tasks like bathing, running appliances, and washing utensils. Water softeners are becoming increasingly popular, particularly in POE systems, due to the depletion and degradation of freshwater sources. As a result, sales of water softeners are expected to increase during the forecast period. Here is an Exclusive report talking about Market scenarios with a historical period (2017-2021) and a forecast period (2023-2027). Download Sample Report in minutes!

Water Softener Market 2023-2027 - Market Dynamics
Significant Trend
The emergence of recent technological advances to improve the efficiency of water, salt, and regeneration is a significant trend driving the water softener market. Manufacturers, customers, and governments are seeking sustainable and eco-friendly products to address environmental concerns. Manufacturers are introducing technologically advanced water softening systems that lower water wastage and consumption by up to 20% during the regeneration process, as well as enhance salt efficiency. On the other hand, some manufacturers have introduced demand-initiated regeneration (DIR) systems that lower the frequency of product regeneration and the sodium and chloride contribution from water softeners. For instance, Culligan's Culligan Connect app offers product information, manual regeneration, and a bypass option that only softens water when needed. Also, Water-Right Inc.'s Wripli mobile app allows users to receive alerts, monitor water usage, and adjust regeneration cycles. Therefore, such technological advancements are anticipated to boost the global water softener market during the forecast period.
Major Challenge
The major challenge for the water softener market is salt-based water softener systems. Salt-based water softeners use sodium chloride, which breaks down into sodium and chloride ions in the wastewater treatment plant, and these can adversely affect the local ecosystem. High concentrations of sodium and potassium in soft water can lead to soil compaction, limit nutrient absorption, and lower growth of plants. Discharging salt brine into sewer lines can make it challenging for sanitation departments to recycle the water. Further, the backwashing filtration system wastes thousands of gallons of water each year, rising the total dissolved solids in groundwater and reclaimed wastewater. Therfore these factors may hinder the market growth during the forecast period.

Water Softener Market 2023-2027: Market Segmentation
The water softener market analysis includes segmentation by end-user (residential and commercial), product (salt-based and salt-free), and geography (North America, Europe, APAC, South America, and Middle East and Africa). This study identifies the emergence of recent technological advances to improve the efficiency of water, salt, and regeneration introduction of smart water softeners by key market competitors and the increasing demand for salt-free water softeners from the residential segment as one of the prime reasons driving the water softener market growth during the next few years.
- The market share growth by the residential segment will be significant during the forecast period. Rapid urbanization, government funding for housing projects, low-interest rates on housing loans, and the rising popularity of high-rise residential buildings are anticipated to drive the global residential construction market during the forecast period. According to The World Bank Group, 2021, the global urban population increased from 56% in 2019 to 57.11% in 2021. Such factors will increase segment growth during the forecast period. The use of water softeners lowers the time taken to clean a home, decreases the need for harsh chemicals used to remove scale buildup, and assures appliances run efficiently. However, water softeners use a technology that naturally conditions water and minimizes scaling and it helps to decrease the existing and prevent new scale formation, thereby shielding plumbing works, dishes, and home appliances. Such advantages offered by water softeners are likely to expand their demand among residential consumers during the forecast period.
