Residential water purifiers are household appliances that ensure that the consumers get clean and safe drinking water. Different technologies are used in residential water purifiers, including RO-based, UV-based, and gravity UF.
The Middle East residential water purifiers market is rapidly growing due to the growing expat population and the increased prevalence of water-borne diseases. The UAE is estimated to have the highest expat population among all the Middle Eastern countries, and the expat population in the country is estimated to be 8.84 million, which is ~89% of the total population. The growing urban population across the region is also positively impacting the Middle East residential water purifier market as the urban population has higher disposable income and has increased demand for household appliances. According to the World Bank Group, the urban population in the Middle East and North Africa has been growing in the last 10 years and has become 66% of the total population in 2020.
The western countries of the Middle East are exposed to water-borne diseases due to the lack of safe drinking water and basic sanitation. According to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), in 2017, Yemen witnessed the largest cholera/acute watery diarrhea epidemic in modern times, which infected more than 1.3 million people, of which 30% were under the age of five. The increasing prevalence of water-borne disease in the Middle Eastern countries is driving the growth of the market.
Based on the technology, the market is segmented into RO based, UV based, gravity UF, and others. In 2020, the RO based segment dominated the Middle East residential water purifiers market. The reverse osmosis (RO) based water purifiers include multi-stage water filtration used for filtering hard water by combing active carbon and particle filtration. The RO based residential water purifiers are being increasingly adopted due to low electricity consumption and performance efficiency
