"A focus on health and wellness, coupled with relaxed regulations, is driving the importance of water filtration for Americans. However, economic conditions have shoppers looking for value and spending carefully."
Meghan Ross, Senior Research Analyst - Home & Beauty
The US water-filtration market is seeing strong interest as health, wellness and sustainability motivations converge, even as economic pressures force many shoppers to be selective with spending. A striking 72% of consumers say they would install a whole-home system if they could afford it, illustrating untapped demand for low-effort water filtration that brands can target with more accessible pricing and stronger value messaging.
Recent EPA proposals, like changes to PFAS limits and narrowing waterway protections, may erode public trust in tap water, pushing responsibility for water safety from municipalities to individual households. This shifting landscape heightens the need for filtration brands to position themselves as trusted guardians of health and highlight their products’ role in mitigating newly surfaced risks.
The most promising growth will come from affordable, modular and renter-friendly solutions that appeal to younger and more mobile consumers. However, inflation-driven cost sensitivity poses the biggest threat, as water filtration risks are being deprioritized as a discretionary purchase. Brands that can reinforce their products’ essential value, as both a health necessity and a wellbeing upgrade, will be best positioned for category leadership.
This Report covers types and brands of water filtration devices and systems that are used in the home and are available to consumers through stores such as supermarkets, mass merchandisers, hardware stores, home centers and specialized dealers.

Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.

One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
