A water filter jug or pitcher removes impurities from the regular tap water in a short duration and make it fit for drinking, these jugs can then be used to store and refrigerate water. In addition, they help in improving the taste of drinking water.
Global water filter jug market was valued at US$ 774.00 Million in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.71 % during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
Drivers
Increasing water pollution is driving the market growth of the water filter jug. Consuming tap water consisting of microbes such as viruses and bacteria can cause diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, typhoid, and polio among individuals. As per the WHO (World Health Organization) Drinking Water Stats published on June 14, 2019, around 485,000 diarrheal deaths per year across the globe are caused owing to consumption of contaminated drinking water. Owing to this rising issue, the need for consuming filtered tap water is being foreseen among health-conscious individuals. For instance, as per the UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund) & WHO Report on Drinking Water published on June 18, 2019, 1 in every 3 people across the globe lack access to safe drinking water. Moreover, as per the same source, around 50% of the global population is expected to live in water-stressed areas, especially across sub-Saharan Africa by 2025. Thus, the demand for water filter jugs is expected to propel across the globe in the coming years.
Surging demand for portable and compact water filtration equipment is expected to foster the market growth of water filter jug. The water filter jugs assist in the treatment of drinking water by removing contaminants such as pesticides, nitrates, and other metals. Thus, they perform similar operations as that of conventional water filters and are compact in size. For instance, the dimensions of the BRITA Marella XL water filter jug are 26.5 x 27.5 x 15.5 cm (W x H x D), which is far less as compared to other conventional filters and RO systems.
Among regions, Europe held dominant position in the global water filter jug market in 2021, accounting for 32.74% market share in terms of revenue, followed by North America.
The outbreak of COVID – 19 pandemic has caused ups and downs in various industries resulting in uncertainties in business space. This has brought several kind of changes in market conditions even in global water filter jugs market. Several governments across the globe have imposed nationwide lockdowns to limit the spread of the virus, which resulted in the shutting down of businesses and ceasing of several economic activities. According to the International Monetary Fund’s World Economic Outlook Update in June 2020, the global economy grew by 4.9% in 2020, which is worse than the 2008-09 financial crisis. Moreover, the trade restrictions and stay-at-home orders issued by statutory governing bodies have disrupted the supply chain of water filter jugs.

Market Restraints
Timely replacement cycle for filters in water filter jugs is anticipated to hamper the target market growth. The water filter jugs comprise of filtering active medium and cartridge containing ion-exchange resins. During water filtration in these jugs, the pores of the cartridges get blocked depending upon their usage and the quality of water, this is why the cartridges are expected to be replaced timely. Moreover, the cost associated with the timely replacement of cartridges and filters increases the maintenance cost, thereby, hampering the demand for water filter jugs. This factor is expected to hinder the market growth.
Moreover, the time and cost associated with the storage of filter and cartridges in cold places adds up to the overall maintenance of water filter jugs. This factor is hindering the market growth of water filter jug.
