Water softeners are devices or instruments which are especially designed to reduce hardening components such as magnesium, calcium, manganese and some metal elements in the water resources. Rising technological advancements coupled with introduction of innovative technologies and water softening equipment with improved functionality is projected to drive water softeners market through 2025. Water softeners are widely used in various downstream applications. Water that is majorly consist of carbonates and bi-carbonates of calcium, magnesium and other minerals is hard water, which causes the blockage of water pipes, rusting of water tanks in industrial and residential sectors. Increasing awareness regarding the advantages of soft water in reducing the scale formation in cleaning, food, beverages, textile, concrete manufacturing and other industries is propelling the demand for water softeners for various downstream applications. Residential sector is largest end use application segment of the global water softeners market. Moreover, rising number of upcoming residential construction projects across the globe is projected to positively push the sales of water softener instruments in the residential sector.
