The global point of use water treatment systems market size was estimated at USD 31.90 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 53.56 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2030. Heightened concerns about waterborne diseases such as E. coli and cholera have significantly increased the global demand for point of use water treatment systems.

According to a 2024 EBSCO report, approximately 2 billion people globally do not have access to safe drinking water in their homes. Waterborne illnesses contribute to 4% of the global disease burden, with an estimated 2 million deaths annually due to diarrheal diseases linked to contaminated water. Furthermore, each year, Vibrio cholerae bacteria cause between 1.3 to 4 million cholera cases, resulting in an estimated 21,000 to 143,000 deaths. Legislative frameworks such as the Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 and the Clean Water Act empower the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to maintain and enforce water quality standards, offering technical and financial assistance to improve drinking water safety.

In the U.S., an increasing focus on water quality is expected to drive market growth for point of use water treatment systems. To promote private sector investments in domestic water purification infrastructure, the government has enacted a new Public-Private Partnership (PPP) law. These initiatives are expected to create favorable conditions for market expansion over the forecast period.

The discharge of pollutants due to expanding industrial operations and commercial agriculture is further contaminating water sources, leading to an uptick in the demand for water treatment solutions at the point of use. Rising mortality rates from unsafe drinking water also add to this growing demand. For instance, a 2023 WHO report estimated that nearly 1 million people die each year from diarrhea linked to contaminated water. Consequently, the quality of water is a major determinant in the adoption of point of use treatment systems.
