Growing environmental apprehensions are encouraging customers, manufacturers, and government to look for nature friendly and sustainable products, which is anticipated to fuel demand for these products. Manufacturers are developing technologically advanced softening systems which help to reduce wastage. These systems help in improving efficiency by reducing sodium & chloride content by making it suitable for all end use applications in industrial, commercial and residential sector, which is likely to have a positive outlook on water softener market share.
Global textile sector may surpass $1 trillion by 2024. This industry is water intensive due to its usage in cleaning materials and flushing steps. Waste product generated must be cleaned from oil, fat and colour, water softener is used to perform these functions, thus propelling the water softener market.
Water softening process is expensive owing to its high energy usage, labour and maintenance cost, which may challenge industry profitability. Additionally, soft water when released in the environment can raise acidity of soil, therefore, making plants less productive. Stringent environmental policies mainly in U.S. and Europe may add on compliance cost, which may affect water softener market value.
