Point-of-Use Water Treatment Systems Market Report 2026

The point-of-use water treatment systems market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $22.53 billion in 2025 to $24.59 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing household awareness of water quality, reliance on municipal drinking water systems, growth in urban residential populations, availability of affordable filtration products, expansion of retail distribution channels.

The point-of-use water treatment systems market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $34.13 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for safe drinking water, rising adoption of smart and connected filtration devices, expansion of non-residential water purification needs, growing focus on convenience-based water treatment, increasing innovation in filtration materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of compact faucet-mounted filters, rising demand for advanced pitcher filtration systems, growing use of under-the-counter purification units, expansion of portable water filtration devices, enhanced focus on point-level contaminant removal.

The rising incidence of water pollution is expected to drive the growth of the point-of-use water treatment market in the coming years. Water pollution refers to the contamination of water bodies - including rivers, lakes, groundwater, and drinking water sources - by harmful substances such as untreated sewage and industrial waste, resulting in environmental degradation and public health risks. The increase in water pollution incidents is driven by aging infrastructure, industrial discharges, and inadequate wastewater management in many regions. Point-of-use water treatment systems help address these challenges by providing on-site purification solutions, ensuring households and communities have access to safe and clean drinking water. For instance, in August 2025, according to the Environment Agency, a UK-based government department, the total number of pollution incidents from sewerage and water supply assets in 2024 rose by 29% compared to 2023, a level deemed unacceptable. Therefore, the growing prevalence of water pollution incidents is fueling the expansion of the point-of-use water treatment market.

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 November 2024, A. O. Smith Corporation, a US-based water technology company, acquired the Pureit business from Hindustan Unilever Limited for $0.12 million. Through this acquisition, A. O. Smith aims to strengthen its point-of-use water treatment portfolio by broadening its range of residential water purification solutions and enhancing its presence in key emerging markets, particularly in South Asia. Hindustan Unilever Limited is an India-based company that provides point-of-use (POU) water treatment systems.
