Atmospheric Water Generator Market Report 2026

The atmospheric water generator market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.36 billion in 2025 to $4.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing freshwater scarcity issues, rising reliance on alternative water sources, deployment of awg systems in remote locations, growing demand for potable water in arid regions, early adoption by commercial facilities.

The atmospheric water generator market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.92 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in sustainable water technologies, rising demand for off-grid water generation systems, expansion of awg adoption in disaster-prone areas, growing integration with solar power systems, increasing focus on water security solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of renewable-powered awg systems, rising demand for decentralized water generation solutions, growing integration of smart monitoring and control systems, expansion of compact and modular awg designs, enhanced focus on energy and water efficiency.

The growing water scarcity is anticipated to drive the growth of the atmospheric water generator market in the coming years. Water scarcity refers to the lack of safe water sources or insufficient water availability, impacting millions of people worldwide. Factors such as population growth, climate change, and poor management of water resources contribute to water shortages, limiting access to potable water in many regions. Atmospheric water generators help communities by extracting water from air humidity, offering an alternative source of safe drinking water. For example, in March 2023, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a France-based intergovernmental water initiative, reported that 2 billion people globally lack access to safe drinking water, while between two and three billion experience water shortages for at least one month per year. As a result, the rise in water scarcity is driving demand for atmospheric water generators.

Key companies in the atmospheric water generator market are focusing on innovative portable solutions to improve water accessibility and sustainability for off-grid and mobile living applications. Portable atmospheric water generators extract moisture from the air and condense it into liquid water through a cooling process. In January 2023, Airiver, a US-based company specializing in portable atmospheric water generators, launched devices designed to provide eco-friendly, accessible clean water for remote living, off-grid populations, and environmentally conscious users. Capable of producing up to 30 liters of mineralized water daily using advanced filtration and low-energy technology, these generators aim to mitigate global water scarcity, targeting deployment in underserved regions such as Chile, Brazil, and Mexico.

In August 2025, A1R WATER, a UAE-based atmospheric water generation company, completed a business combination with Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III for an undisclosed amount. This move is intended to strengthen A1R WATER’s market presence and accelerate the adoption of sustainable solutions that produce fresh drinking water directly from the air. Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. III is a US-based company involved in the manufacturing of global atmospheric water generators (AWGs).
