Worldwide, over $33bn was spent on Point-of-Use (POU) and Point-of-Entry (POE) water treatment equipment and services by households and commercial enterprises in 2019. This has been driven by growing concern around water quality, sustainability, and demand for “designer water” from middle classes, in addition to the expansion of commercial space.

Although the Residential & Commercial market is expected to see accelerated growth over the next five years, the market is notoriously specialised with dynamics determined by market segment and product:

• An SME providing a bottled water cooler, or increasingly bottleless water coolers, to their employees;
• Or a hotel, restaurant, or café (Ho.Re.Ca.), wanting to provide a selection of beverage options to their client and customers through a multi-functional tap.
• Otherwise, providers may serve the residential market with softeners, under-the-sink (UTS) systems or simple POU systems, driven by the need to improve the quality and taste of water.
