Smart Water Softeners Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
Growing consumer awareness about water softening products and the benefits of water softener systems is notably driving the smart water softeners market growth, although factors such as high price sensitivity among consumers may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the smart water softeners industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Smart Water Softeners Market Driver
One of the key factors driving the smart water softeners market growth is growing consumer awareness about water softening products and the benefits of water softener systems. The water obtained from salt-based water softeners cannot be used directly for drinking or cooking and requires further treatment because of the presence of large amounts of sodium in the water. The demand for smart water softeners is growing at a fast pace because of the depletion of freshwater sources. With the depletion and degradation of freshwater sources, people have to rely on groundwater. With the increasing use of fertilizers and the presence of naturally occurring limestone quarries, the groundwater in many places has been rendered hard. Therefore, smart water softener systems are mostly used in Power over Ethernet (POE) systems to supply water and not point-of-use (POU) systems because the latter needs are fulfilled through water purifying systems that have an RO membrane. These factors are expected to increase the sales of smart water softeners during the forecast period.
Key Smart Water Softeners Market Trend
The rising adoption of home automation to supplement WiFi-enabled smart water softener systems is the major trend influencing smart water softeners market growth. The frequent need for a convenient and comfortable lifestyle has led to the development of residential automation systems. Along with home automation systems, smart homes can also keep a check on the security systems, lighting, and entertainment systems in a house. In addition, home automation systems also enable monitoring appliances with a controller, which is operated through the Internet. Many vendors are also offering home automation systems with remote access through smartphones and other mobile computing devices. Due to such factors, smart home adoption is increasing across the globe, which increases the adoption of smart home solutions.
Key Smart Water Softeners Market Challenge
High price sensitivity among consumers is one of the key challenges hindering the smart water softeners market growth. In the developing countries of APAC and MEA, price sensitivity is the major barrier limiting the expansion of the smart water softeners market. Consumers do not have good visibility of the product due to the low concentration of market players. Apart from this, relatively low purchasing power, low consumer awareness of the product, and lack of inclination to buy water treatment equipment are factors that add to price sensitivity. The low inclination among consumers to buy smart water softener systems because of high price sensitivity in developing countries such as India and China is proving to be a hurdle for the growth of the global smart water softener market. Hence, it is a price challenge for the smart water softeners market.
This smart water softeners market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth.

COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Analysis
The demand for smart water softeners from the regional commercial sector in 2020 remained low, owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. The rapid spread of the disease in the region led to the suspension of several commercial activities, which caused the demand for water to decline significantly in the commercial sector in 2020. This, in turn, led to a significant decline in the demand for smart water softeners among commercial end-users in the region. The growing number of COVID-19 cases in the region further augmented the need for cleaning home surfaces and soft water, as this water is more effective in cleaning surfaces. With the rising number of vaccination drives in North America, the global economy witnessed recovery in 2021 and has seen a rise in investments in the infrastructure sector. Such trends are expected to boost the demand in the regional smart water softeners market during the forecast period.
