China Water Purifier Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2019

China is emerging as a burgeoning market for water purifiers, majorly driven by the increasing water pollution level in the country. Continuous rise in industrialization and urbanization in China is posing a grave threat to the water resources present in the country. This is driving the adoption of water purifiers in residential as well as commercial segments to provide potable water for drinking and other applications. In 2011, the Chinese government estimated that 82% of the river water resources and 55% of the ground water resources were highly polluted with harmful contaminants like arsenic, lead, mercury, etc. As a result, consumers are inclining towards advanced water purification equipment such as RO (Reverse Osmosis), UV (Ultraviolet) filtration or UF (ultrafiltration) based water purifiers. Though China has the largest consumer base across the globe, the penetration rate of water purifiers is less than 4%. However, with rising adoption of water purifiers in the country, the penetration rate is anticipated to grow, particularly in urban regions like south central and eastern provinces. With major health concerns associated with consumption of contaminated water, the sales of water purifiers is expected to increase even among rural households in the country through the forecast period. 

According to “China Water Purifier Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019”, the market for water purifier in China market is projected to grow at an exponential CAGR of about 18% over the next five years. The penetration of water purifiers in urban as well as rural areas is expected to rise on account of rising awareness about water purifiers. In value terms, RO based water purifiers would continue their dominance due to their high prices, while in volume terms, the demand for filter media based water purifiers is expected to swell on account of their higher penetration majorly among rural households in the country. China’s water purifier market is largely fragmented with more than 3000 small and big, domestic and foreign players operating in the market. However, considering the vast growth potential that the country is offering, leading foreign players are expected to overtake the water purifier market on account of their established brand name, strong distribution network, and growth-oriented strategy. The market is also expected to witness significant proliferation of other innovative water purification technologies such as water pitchers that are more affordable for middle income households in the country. “China Water Purifier Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2019” discusses the following aspects related to water purifiers in China.

Summary

The Finnish construction industry recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.34% during the review period (2009−2013). The industry will be primarily supported by the commercial and infrastructure markets, due to government efforts to support the country’s growth and competitiveness. According to Invest in Finland, the government agency that promotes foreign investment in the country, foreign direct investment (FDI) rose from 153 new investments in 2012 to 213 in 2013. However, slow economic growth and limited government spending will affect investments in the institutional market.

Key Highlights

• Due to slow economic growth, the construction industry declined in 2013. According to Statistics Finland, construction companies’ turnover declined by 1.9% as compared to 2012, and the value add in the construction industry fell by 2.3% in 2013. In the last quarter of 2013, the turnover of the construction industry declined by 1.5% as compared to the same period of 2012. In the last quarter of 2013, the turnover of specialized construction activities dropped by 2.2%, and building construction decreased by 1.4% over the corresponding period of 2012. However, as a sign of future growth, in the last quarter of 2013 the area covered under building permits reached 8.9 million m2, 13.3% more than in the last quarter of 2012.

• In 2012, the government proposed to increase the standard VAT rate by 1 percentage point. However, according to shopping tourism company Global Blue, tax-free sales in 2013 increased by 27% in Kouvola and 25% in Imatra, as compared to 2012. The growth in tax-free sales in Finland was primarily contributed by the rising number of Russian visitors, and is likely to attract investments in the retail buildings category over the forecast period.

• According to Statistics Finland, net migration in the country increased from 17,433 in 2012 to 18,048 in 2013. Internal migration from rural urban areas will continue to rise, which will increase demand for residential units at growth centers such as Helsinki. According to the YIT Group, Finland’s largest residential construction company, the country will need annual production of 24,000–29,000 apartments over the forecast period. However, restrictions in the availability of land for building apartments, and tough energy-efficiency requirements may constrain the housing supply, leading to the construction of smaller, more efficient apartments. With rising migration and changing housing needs, demand for residential units is likely to pick up over the forecast period.

• Finland aims to establish a carbon-neutral society by 2050, and better energy efficiency and increased investment in renewable energy will be needed to achieve this. According to the EU Renewable Energy Directive, the country aims to meet 38% of its total energy consumption through renewable sources by 2020. In its 2013 budget, the government increased energy subsidies to EUR145 million (US$192.2 million), of which EUR100 million (US$132.6 million) is to be allocated to bio-refinery projects, with the remaining amount allocated for renewable energy investments. As a result, the energy infrastructure category is expected to grow over the forecast period.

• According to Statistics Finland, the Finland’s economy contracted by 1.4% in 2013. To support growth and competitiveness in the economy, in 2013 the government cut the corporate tax rate by 4.5 percentage points, from 24.5% to 20%, effective January 2014. This move should help to attract investment and create jobs in the country. The Bank of Finland predicts 0.6% GDP growth in 2014 and 1.7% in 2015. This is likely to improve business activities, enabling the office buildings category to grow over the forecast period.
