According to the UN and the WHO, every 21 seconds, a child, and about 3.5 million people in a year die in the developing countries owing to waterborne diseases caused by drinking contaminated water. The European water filter market is estimated to rise at a compound annual growth rate of 10.3% throughout the foreseen period.
The situation in the growing economies of Europe is getting worse. The scarcity of fresh water, and the increase in pollution & population, are a few factors that have been increasing the incidence of waterborne diseases and hence boosting the demand for water purification systems.
