The commercial drinking fountains market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.34 billion in 2024 to $1.43 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising investments in public parks and recreational facilities, an increasing number of sports complexes and gyms, growth in the tourism and hospitality sectors, rising demand in airports, railway stations, and transportation hubs, and growing awareness about waterborne diseases.
The commercial drinking fountains market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.82 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing public awareness about health and hydration, rising demand for safe and clean drinking water in public spaces, government regulations promoting access to potable water, growing infrastructure development in urban areas, and expansion of educational institutions and workplaces. Major trends in the forecast period include the adoption of eco-friendly and water-saving technologies, development of smart and sensor-based drinking fountains, technological advancements in filtration and purification systems, demand for touchless and hygienic water dispensing solutions, and the introduction of water fountains with temperature control features.
The increasing funding for public infrastructure projects worldwide is anticipated to propel the growth of the commercial drinking fountains market in the coming years. Public infrastructure projects, backed by governments, include developments such as roads, bridges, water systems, and public facilities aimed at supporting communities and fostering economic growth. The rise in investments in these projects is driven by the need to boost economic productivity, as enhanced infrastructure improves efficiency, lowers operational costs, and attracts business activities that support long-term development. Such investments facilitate the expansion and modernization of water supply systems, ensuring reliable access to clean water and enabling the installation of commercial drinking fountains in heavily frequented public spaces. For example, in July 2024, the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based authority, reported that total general government investment in infrastructure grew by 9.6% in 2022, reaching $31.5 billion (£26 billion) in current prices compared to 2021. Therefore, the ongoing increase in public infrastructure investments globally is expected to boost the commercial drinking fountains market.
Key players in the commercial drinking fountains market are focusing on developing innovative cleaner water solutions to improve environmental standards worldwide. Cleaner water solutions encompass technologies and products designed to enhance drinking water quality by removing impurities and harmful substances. For instance, in April 2024, Zurn Elkay Water Solutions, a US-based company specializing in water solutions, introduced the Elkay ezH2O smart bottle filling stations. These connected units deliver fresh, filtered water and provide facility managers with the ability to monitor usage across multiple stations. Designed for high-traffic areas, the stations integrate seamlessly with smart plumbing systems via Zurn Elkay’s plumbSMART software. Users can track the number of bottles saved, monitor filter status, schedule automatic line flushes, and optimize maintenance planning across campuses or large facilities. Some models also feature quick-change filter wrappers and FillSafe recognition, which automatically resets the LED indicator after a filter replacement.
In September 2024, Denmark-based water solutions provider Grundfos acquired the commercial and industrial business of Culligan (C&I) in Italy, France, and the UK for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition strengthens Grundfos’ wastewater and water treatment capabilities.
