Solar Water Purifier Market Segment Analysis- By Methodology

Based on Methodology, the distillation segment is analyzed to grow with the highest CAGR of 9.52% during the forecast period 2022-2027. Solar distillation has been proved as the most effective method for water disinfection and can be easily customized based on an application from a single person to a community-sized system for residential and commercial users. The growing water-borne diseases, increasing urbanization, and scarcity of drinking water are driving the distillation segment of solar water purifiers. According to UN World Water Development Report 2020, 2.2 billion people are facing scarcity of drinking water and do not have access to safely managed drinking water. According to UNICEF, four billion people almost two-thirds of the world’s population is experiencing severe water scarcity for at least one month each year and over two billion people live in countries where water supply is inadequate and are forecasted to face water scarcity by half of the world as early as 2025. Such factor like water scarcity plays an important role in driving the Solar Water Purifier market due to which there will be a rise in demand for efficient water purifiers in the water scarcity region in a long run.

Solar Water Purifier Market Segment Analysis- By End Users

The residential sector is anticipated to witness the fastest growth in the global solar water purifier market with a CAGR of around 9.68% during 2022-2027. The growing shift towards safer drinking water, the rise of environmental concerns due to the use of conventional sources of energy have raised the demand for solar water. With a growing volume of waterborne disease, drinking water scarcity in coastal, rural and tribal regions aiding the market growth for solar water purifier systems. According to World Health Organisation, around 2 billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with feces globally. About 22% of health care facilities have no water service in the least developed countries. Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and polio. Contaminated drinking water is estimated to cause 485,000 diarrhoeal deaths each year. Such a factor can rise the demand for solar water purifiers in the residential sector to enhance drinking water facilities will further drive the Solar Water Purifier market in the Forecast period 2022-2027. 

Solar Water Purifier Market Segment Analysis- By Geography

Asia Pacific region accounted for the largest share of around 34% in the global solar water purifier market in 2021 and is also anticipated to have significant growth during the forecast period. Growing shift towards renewable energy sources, a rise of waterborne disease, and surge in deficiency of drinking water in rural, tribal, and coastal areas have attributed towards the market growth.
