The global water softeners market size reached US$ 3.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 4.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.18% during 2022-2028.
Hard water contains a high concentration of calcium, magnesium ions and several dissolved metals, including zinc, iron, barium, aluminum, strontium, and manganese. It negatively impacts household activities, such as cleaning, dishwashing, and laundering. As its consumption also has a detrimental effect on human health, there is a rise in the application of water softeners in the residential and commercial sectors worldwide. Water softeners assist in purifying and softening hard water by filtering it through resin or zeolite, thereby preventing the formation of insoluble scale or precipitates in pipes and tanks and extending the lifetime of plumbing pipes and fittings.
