Solar-based Water Disinfection Market Analysis and Industry Outlook 2027

Solar-based water disinfection is a type of portable water purifier that utilizes solar energy to make biologically contaminated water safe to drink. Solar-based water disinfection is a low-cost technique used by more than 6 million people across the globe to disinfect non-potable water.
Solar-based water disinfection is largely used in rural communities, as most of these communities either face a large number of power outages or do not have power grid support. Use of solar water disinfection eliminates the need to use other power-generating sources and helps reduce pollution.

Increase in the demand for safe drinking water led by rise in the incidence of water-borne diseases, such as amoebic and bacillary dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, and diarrhea, is expected to drive the global solar-based water disinfection market during forecast period. Solar-based water disinfection can reduce the risk of developing diarrheal diseases by 9%–86%. Solar-based water disinfection utilizes solar radiations to kill microorganisms causing water-borne diseases and thereby, improves the quality of drinking water.
Surge in the demand for reliable, cost-effective, and eco-friendly solutions to purify water in residential buildings is also likely to fuel the global solar-based water disinfection market during the forecast period. Furthermore, increase in investments in residential construction and growing awareness about effective utilization of sustainable technologies are some of the key factors expected to augment the global market during the forecast period.
Lack of awareness about waterborne diseases, primarily in Asia Pacific and Africa, is anticipated to hamper the market in these regions during the forecast period
