Germany Water Purifier Market By Type, By Technology, By End Use, By Sales Channel, By Region, By Company, Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028F

Germany Water Purifiers Market is driven by rising consumer awareness regarding purified water, increasing trends in health & wellness, and technological changes. The market is also driven by the increasing consumption of purified bottled water. Natural mineral water is the most consumed fluid in Germany after coffee. The Association of German Mineral Springs (VDM) estimates that in 2021, each person in Germany drank about 122.7 liters of mineral and medicinal water. Consumption per capita was still 12.5 liters in 1970. Since that time, per capita consumption of mineral water has reached a high level and has experienced constantly expanding popularity.

70% of the water which Germans use for drinking comes from groundwater and springs, with the remaining 30% coming from rivers, lakes, dams, or wells near these water bodies (bank filtrates). In the waterworks, the water is examined and, if necessary, processed. It then travels through the water supplier's pipes until it reaches the home connection. Since drinking tap water does not harm the environment, people in Germany prefer to drink water from the tap rather than buying a drinking water bottle. The environmental impact of drinking tap water is less than 1% that of bottled water.

There is a drinking water regulation in Germany. Consumers receive clean, pollution-free drinking water all the way to the pipes in their homes because of the Drinking Water Ordinance. Further investigations are in charge of the landlords.

Even though the government of Germany claims that drinking tap water is safe, consumer activists found substances in the drinking water at 21 of the examined locations. The water included sweeteners, X-ray contrast & anti-corrosion chemicals, pesticides, and medicines. However, Stiftung Warentest claims that because of the low concentration, the discoveries are safe for human health. The elements discovered in the water are less than 0.1 micrograms per liter or even less than one millionth of a gram.

The presence of Pollutants in Water is Fueling Market Growth

Even though tap water in Germany is safe to drink but there is a presence of limescale and other pollutants in the pipes which are used to supply water to the households. These pollutants are present in the water because the pipes laid in the country are outdated. Critical chemicals like lead or copper might enter drinking water where old pipelines are still in place. According to the Drinking Water Ordinance, each liter of water must have fewer than two milligrams of copper and less than 0.01 milligrams of lead. And one-time cost of checking and maintaining ranges from USD 30 to USD 70 for a basic measurement at the municipal waterworks or a professional institute. It is a tedious task for someone who owns a home because it takes a lot of time and money. Due to the requirement to maintain the pipes once every six months, many Germans prefer to install water purifiers in their houses. The market will grow as a result of the anticipated year.

Increasing Consumption of Water Fuels Market Growth

Every household member in Germany consumes around 120 liters of water per day for activities such as cooking, cleaning, taking a shower, running the dishwasher and washing machine, etc. However, dangerous contaminants, such as those present in groundwater, can be found in the pumped water. This is something that conventional agriculture is accountable for. Nitrates are among the harmful pesticides and fertilizers that wind up in rivers and lakes or leak into the soil and groundwater. Moreover, there are occasional concerns, particularly for children, the elderly, and those who are frail or unwell. Boiled water is necessary for infants. Due to this, the market is growing in the projected years as many consumers prefer purified water as they think it is of better quality.

Low Cost of Tap Water May Hinder the Market Growth

Tap water in Germany is not only clean and drinkable but also comparatively cheaper than other sources of drinking water. In Germany a liter of tap water costs an average of only USD 0.2 cents, whereas after installing a filter in the tap, the average per liter cost of drinking water increases by USD 15 cents which includes purchase cost, filter cost, and other costs. Since Germans use around 120 liters of water per day, they find tap water as a cheaper and more sustainable source of water for drinking and doing other household chores. Due to this reason, the market may face a slower growth rate as consumers are adamant about the usage of water purifiers.
