Atmospheric Water Generator - Global Market Outlook (2021-2028)
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Atmospheric Water Generator Market is accounted for $1.81 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $5.85 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 18.2% during the forecast period. Atmospheric water generation is the technique of obtaining water of a variety of purity grades from the atmosphere. In atmospheric water generator, water vapour in the air is condensed either by cooling the air below its dew point, by exposing the air to desiccants, or by pressurizing the air. Though using atmospheric water generator, a considerable amount of water can be extracted, the extraction of atmospheric water may not be entirely free of cost. This is because a significant input of energy is required to drive some atmospheric water generator processes.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing Water Scarcity
With increasing industrialization activities, growing population and rising socio-economic developments, the consumption of water has been increased dramatically around the world. According to the United Nations World Water Development, water consumption is expected to increase by 20 to 30% as compared to current water use. Such factors are responsible for unnecessary stress on freshwater resources. According to the World Health Organization, more than half of the world population is projected to reside in water-stressed areas. Air to water is a proven technology to extract water from humid air. Therefore, these systems are widely installed as a parallel source for clean water. Hence, with the increase in water demand and scarcity, the demand for this market is increasing.
Restraint:
High Cost
High product cost is one of the factors restraining the growth of the market, especially in household and light commercial applications. Moreover, these systems consume a significant amount of electricity and require continuous supply to operate efficiently. This, in turn, increases the overall cost of the operation.
Opportunity:
Novel Technology Developments
The uninterrupted research operations centering on the improvement regarding the efficiency of water generation and equipment cost reduction are influencing the adoption of it, globally. The research studies have resulted in the development of some new technologies including advanced filtration systems, electrically improved harvesting, advanced oxidation processes, and automatic variable filtration technology. These novel technologies are being integrated within varied of its offerings by manufacturers to mark their position in the global market share by creating a unique mechanism to help conserve water.
Threat:
Complex Mechanism & Usage of Historic Method
The difficult mechanism associated with wet desiccation and lack of consumer awareness related to wet desiccation is one of the major threat factors of this market. On the other hand, concerns regarding the generating efficiency are representing caution for both new entrants and established market players. The usage of historic method water desalination to obtain water from the environment resembles a key threat for the market.
Cooling Condensation segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
As it is the most extensively used technique, due to large-scale installations in various industries and residential and commercial buildings. Improving technology, coupled with the growing demand for its water generators in water deficit areas, is expected to propel segment growth. Their water generators include four major components, including the dehumidifier, compressor, condenser, and evaporator.
The Industrial segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Industrial led the market and accounted for the highest share. Water plays a vital role across numerous industries comprising power generation, pulp and paper, mining, textiles, pharmaceutical drugs, and oil exploration. Industrial water generators are primarily employed in buildings and industries requiring water output of more than 5,000 gallons per day. Its water generators are primarily used in water vending machines, bottling facilities for beverages, government or military facilities for water security, food processing facilities, communities having contaminated groundwater, and industrial and commercial facilities with critical water needs.
Region with highest share:
The Asia Pacific is projected to hold the highest market share, owing to the increasing demand for pure water which is free from biological contamination and low mineralization, and a rise in consumer awareness in eminent countries such as China and India. This is because the Asian countries are the prime consumers of it, followed by China. Owing to the fastest increasing water scarcity in Southeast Asian countries, these generators are gaining popularity for producing water. Moreover, in Asia Pacific potable water is not sufficiently distributed as compared to its growing population. Such factors are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market in the Asia Pacific.
Region with highest CAGR:
Middle East & Africa is projected to have the highest CAGR. The Middle East and African countries have been facing water scarcity due to extreme weather conditions. These regions are heavily dependent on water bottles & desalination plants to meet their daily water requirements. Air to water system provides a more economical way to produce potable water. Hence, these systems are rapidly adopted in the province. Furthermore, GCC is a key contributor to the growth of the market and is expected to maintain its leading position during the forecast period.
