Competitive Market Share & Forecast, 2015 – 2022
Industry Analysis
Atmospheric Water Generator (AWG) market
size is
expected to reach USD 9.3 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 37.4% from 2015
to 2022.
Declining availability of fresh
water and depleting water resources coupled with growing infrastructure
development is expected to increase demand for fresh water for industrial as
well as drinking purposes. This factor is anticipated to drive atmospheric
water generator market size for the next seven years.
The per capita water availability has fallen significantly during the past
decade. During the period between 1993 and 1997 global average per capita
availability of water from renewable sources stood at 25042.5 m3/
person/ year; it declined to 19684.2 m3/ person/ year during the
period 2007 to 2012, a decline of 21.4%. It is currently estimated to 19422.3 m3/
person/ year.
Rising temperatures coupled with scanty rainfall has led to drying of river
beds and lakes causing water shortage. In addition, growing industrialization
and infrastructure development particularly in developing countries has led to
water scarcity. This factor is also likely to drive atmospheric water generator
market demand.
Government policies and initiatives such as Safe Drinking Water Act in US,
Drinking Water Directive in the EU nations, DWQS in Japan and National Rural
Drinking Water Program in India are all aimed at supporting AWG market growth
by ensuring safe potable water availability for the populace. According to WHO
statistics, over 50% of the global pollution is affected by water-borne
diseases. As a result, water generated through AWG systems is an effective
alternative providing contaminant-free water by condensing filtered air through
various filtration processes.
High amount of electricity required for AWG systems such as dehumidifier,
evaporator and condenser makes it as a non-feasible option in some regions with
high electricity costs. Greenhouse gases (GNG) emission released by coal or
other non-renewable form of energy posses’ threat to environment. Investment in
research to develop low cost and clean technology is likely to open new growth
avenues for the AWG market.
Product Analysis
Cooling condensation was the
dominant machine type and generated revenue estimated at over USD 750 million
in 2014. Higher output efficiency coupled with widespread availability of these
machines contributed to its dominant share. Technology innovation related to
reducing power consumption coupled with manufacturing machines with on-board
power supply is likely to drive cooling condensation systems.
Wet desiccation machines consisted of over 2500 units globally in 2014 and are
likely to grow at significant rates with more than 40% CAGR from 2015 to 2022.
Technology upgrade related to replacement of crystalline brine salt with liquid
brine in order to improve humidity extraction from air is anticipated to
increase demand over the next seven years.
Application Analysis
Residential atmospheric water
generator market witnessed largest installation of these systems with total
number of consolidated installations crossing 100,000 units in 2014. Increasing
consumer awareness regarding the technology befits from these systems are
likely to drive atmospheric water generator market growth in residential
applications.
Industrial applications accounted for more than 25% of the total demand and are
likely to witness growth rates at an estimated CAGR of over 37% from 2015 to
2022. They are primarily employed in Oil & Gas industries particularly in
Middle East an industry which requires water output of over 20,000gallons/day.
Regional Analysis
Asia Pacific, driven by Thailand, India
and China atmospheric water generator market size, was the dominant region
valuation of over USD 400 million in 2014. Increasing residential &
commercial spending in regions such as Thailand, China, India and Indonesia is
likely to drive regional demand. Factors such as presence of vast number of
component manufacturers coupled with availability of low manufacturing &
labor costs is also likely to fuel demand.
Middle East & Africa (MEA) atmospheric water generator market share
accounted for more than 27% of the total demand in 2014 and is likely to
witness highest gains at a CAGR of over 38% up to 2022. Fresh water reserve
deficits in the region coupled with high investments cost for installing
desalination plants is likely to drive AGY system demand in MEA.
Competitive Market Share
The global atmospheric water
generator market share is characterized by numerous component suppliers
responsible for supplying parts for manufacturing atmospheric water generator.
These manufacturers source parts including water level indicators, temperature
and pressure sensors, condensers, evaporators and compressors.
Companies such
as WaterMicronWorld,Ltd are engaged in atmospheric water generator
manufacturing.
