軟水器の市場規模・予測、世界・地域別シェア、動向、成長機会分析レポート掲載：タイプ別、最終用途別、流通チャネル別、地域別

軟水器の市場規模は2023年に61億8,000万米ドルと評価され、2031年には109億4,000万米ドルに達すると予測され、2023年から2031年までのCAGRは7.4%と予測されています。

軟水器は、水からカルシウムやマグネシウムなどのミネラルを除去し、スケールの蓄積を防いで水質を改善する能力により、大きな人気を集めています。都市化、工業化、清潔な水の必要性、可処分所得の増加、消費者の嗜好の変化が軟水器市場の成長に寄与する主な要因のひとつです。水の浪費を減らすために軟水器を推進する政府の規制も、市場拡大に寄与しています。塩ベースの軟水器が最も広く使用されています。主要地域の中では、硬水の普及率が高い北米と欧州が市場をリードしています。軟水器市場は、硬水が配管システム、電化製品、水質全体に及ぼす悪影響に対する意識の高まりによって、近年著しい成長を遂げています。カルシウム、マグネシウム、その他のミネラルを多く含む硬水は、スケールの蓄積や石鹸カスの形成といった課題をもたらし、給湯器や洗濯機の効率を低下させる。その結果、住宅、商業施設、施設の消費者は、こうした問題を克服するために軟水化システムの採用を増やしています。

タイプ別に見ると、市場は食塩ベースの軟水器と食塩不使用の軟水器に二分されます。無塩水軟水器セグメントが市場の大きなシェアを占めています。無塩水軟水器は、デスケーラーやウォーターコンディショナーとしても知られ、硬水がもたらす課題を管理するために、従来の塩ベースのシステムに代わるものを提供します。イオン交換によってカルシウムイオンやマグネシウムイオンを除去する塩ベースの軟水器とは異なり、無塩システムは、テンプレート支援結晶化（TAC）、キレート化、触媒変換などの様々な技術を利用して硬度鉱物の構造を変化させ、鉱物が表面に付着してスケールを形成するのを防ぐ。TACシステムでは、軟水器内の特別に設計された媒体上に小さな結晶が形成され、カルシウムイオンとマグネシウムイオンを引き寄せて中和することで、スケールの形成を抑制します。キレート法では、硬度の原因となる鉱物と結合する有機化合物を使用し、鉱物が溶液から析出してスケールが沈殿するのを防ぐ。

2023年には、アジア太平洋地域が軟水器市場で大きなシェアを占めました。人口の増加に伴い、水の消費量はアジア太平洋全域で急速に増加しています。飲料水や衛生施設の需要増を満たす必要性から、この地域全体の自治体の浄水場への負担は大幅に増加しています。アジア開発銀行によると、アジアでは2050年までに34億人近くが水不足地域に住むと推定されています。このような統計は、水のリサイクルと再利用を実施する必要性を強調しており、軟水器の需要を今後数年間押し上げる可能性が高いです。インフラの制約から、中国やインドなどの自治体では硬水を効率的に処理することができないです。そのため、軟水器のようなポイント・オブ・エントリー装置は、適切な水質の水を供給するために住宅環境に設置されています。

The water softeners market size was valued at US$ 6.18 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach US$ 10.94 billion by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 7.4% from 2023 to 2031.

Water softeners are gaining significant popularity due to their ability to remove minerals such as calcium and magnesium from water, preventing scale buildup and improving water quality. Urbanization, industrialization, the need for clean water, rising disposable income, and changing consumer preferences are among the major factors contributing to the water softeners market growth. Government regulations promoting water softeners to reduce water wastage also contribute to market expansion. Salt-based water softeners are the most widely used type. Among all major regions, North America and Europe lead the market due to high hard water prevalence. The water softeners market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing awareness about the detrimental effects of hard water on plumbing systems, appliances, and overall water quality. Hard water with high levels of calcium, magnesium, and other minerals poses challenges such as scale buildup and soap scum formation, lowering the efficiency of water heaters and washing machines. As a result, residential, commercial, and institutional consumers are increasingly adopting water-softening systems to overcome these issues.

Based on type, the market is bifurcated into salt-based water softeners and salt-free water softeners. The salt-free water softeners segment accounts for a significant share of the market. Salt-free water softeners, also known as descalers or water conditioners, offer an alternative to traditional salt-based systems for managing challenges posed by hard water. Unlike salt-based softeners that remove calcium and magnesium ions through ion exchange, salt-free systems utilize various technologies such as template-assisted crystallization (TAC), chelation, or catalytic conversion to alter the structure of hardness minerals, preventing them from adhering to surfaces and forming scale. In TAC systems, small crystals form on specially designed media within the softener, attracting and neutralizing calcium and magnesium ions, thereby inhibiting scale formation. Chelation involves the use of organic compounds that bind to hardness-causing minerals, preventing them from precipitating out of solution and forming scale deposits.

In 2023, Asia Pacific held a significant share of the water softeners market. With the rising population, water consumption is rapidly increasing across Asia Pacific. The burden on municipal water treatment plants across the region has significantly increased due to the need to fulfill the rising demand for drinking water and sanitary facilities. According to the Asian Development Bank, nearly 3,400 million people in Asia are estimated to live in water-stressed areas by 2050. Such stats emphasize the need to implement water recycling and reuse approaches, which is likely to drive the demand for water softeners over the coming years. Due to infrastructure limitations, municipal corporations in countries such as China and India are unable to efficiently handle hard water. Therefore, point-of-entry equipment, such as softeners, is being installed in residential settings to receive water of suitable quality.

Rheem Manufacturing Co, Marlo Inc, Robert B Hill Co, Silverline UK Ltd, Hobart Corp, Water-Right Inc, US Water Systems Inc, Kinetico Inc, Ecowater Systems LLC, and Culligan International Co are among the prominent players profiled in the water softeners market report.
