The market is growing because of rising concerns over PFAS, lead, and other contaminants. This is pushing consumers to seek reliable, at-home purification solutions.
By device, free-standing water purifiers held the largest market share in 2024
Free-standing water purifiers accounted for the largest share of the point-of-use water treatment systems market in North America in 2024. The systems have become the most desirable option for households, offices, and small commercial establishments due to their convenience, performance, and mobility. Free-standing purifiers have been designed as compact, self-contained units that can be placed on the floor or countertops without requiring plumbing modifications- an important advantage in rented homes, apartments, and flexible office layouts across the US and Canada. Many models now integrate LED indicators, filter-life sensors, and smart diagnostics, aligning with North America's strong shift toward connected home appliances. With their greater filtration capacity, they are suited for shared spaces such as coworking office locations, clinics, and small businesses with continued demands for purified water.
By technology, reverse osmosis systems dominated the market in 2024
In North America, RO systems dominated the largest share of the POU water treatment market in 2024. Adoption of this technology has soared as it provides full-spectrum contaminant removal- an increasingly important factor in the face of growing concern over PFAS ("forever chemicals"), lead, nitrates, microplastics, and emerging contaminants in municipal water supplies. Water safety and taste are in high demand by North American consumers, and RO systems address both by removing a broader spectrum of impurities than conventional carbon filters. Advanced RO systems in the region feature remineralization stages, storage tanks optimized for tight spaces, and smart monitoring that alerts users to membrane health issues. Ultimately, RO units have become the most trusted technology for households seeking long-term protection and enhanced water quality for drinking, cooking, and infant use.
By sales channel, the direct sales segment will record the fastest growth
Within the North American point-of-use water treatment systems market, direct sales are forecasted to experience the fastest growth over the forecast period. Consumers increasingly prefer personalized consultations when investing in water purification, given its direct link to family health and safety. Trained representatives can explain how the system works, what contaminants it can remove, and why it is worth the premium, better than any retail shelf or online listing. This model also aligns with the growing trend of subscription-based filter replacement services in the region.
By application, the residential segment will continue holding the largest market share
Within the point-of-use water treatment systems market in North America, the residential segment is expected to retain its largest market share during the forecast period. Increasing awareness of the different types of water-borne contaminants, along with aging municipal infrastructure in several US and Canadian cities, is leading households to demand reliable at-home purification systems. With apartment living on the rise, where centralized purification may not be available in many cases, single-use POU devices will present flexibility, affordability, and superior control over daily drinking water quality. The growth of remote work further drives household demand for reliable access to purified water throughout the day.
Canada is expected to register the highest growth rate in the North America point-of-use water treatment systems market in the forecast period.
Canada is the fastest-growing market in the point-of-use water treatment systems sector in North America, as concerns over boil-water advisories, aging municipal pipelines, and increasing incidents of PFAS and lead contamination are prompting households to adopt reliable at-home purification solutions. A strong government emphasis on water-quality monitoring, growing urbanization, and a higher consumer willingness to invest in premium RO and multi-stage filters further accelerate demand in key provinces such as Ontario, British Columbia, and Alberta.
The North America point-of-use water treatment systems market comprises major players such as A.O. Smith (US), Whirlpool Corporation (US), Grupo Rotoplas, S.A.B. de C.V. (Mexico), Pure Aqua, Inc. (US), and 3M (US) are covered in the North America point-of-use water treatment systems market. Partnerships, acquisitions, and expansions are among the key strategies adopted by these major players to enhance their positions in the North American point-of-use water treatment systems market.
