In the Asia Pacific region and other developing areas, several end-use sectors, including the chemical, apparel, food, and beverage industries, are experiencing rapid growth. These industries are major consumers of water, often facing difficulties in securing adequate water supplies.
AWGs offer a promising solution by providing a decentralized and sustainable source of water, enabling these industries to maintain their growth momentum without jeopardizing water availability for other sectors. One of the critical factors influencing the adoption of AWGs is public awareness. To encourage the widespread adoption of AWGs, it is essential to educate the target market about the water crisis, the technology behind AWGs, and the benefits they offer. Government initiatives and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) can play a pivotal role in raising awareness and promoting the adoption of AWGs. Regions with inadequate water supply systems are particularly well-positioned for AWG adoption. With growing public awareness of water scarcity and the availability of government initiatives to support water conservation efforts, AWGs are gaining traction as a viable solution to address water challenges. In addition to government support and industry expansion, technological advancements are also contributing to the growth of the AWG industry.
Research and development efforts are leading to the development of more efficient and cost-effective AWG systems, making them more accessible to a wider range of users. Furthermore, the environmental benefits of AWGs are also gaining recognition. Unlike conventional water sources, AWGs do not require extensive water infrastructure or contribute to water pollution. Their ability to generate potable water from ambient air makes them an environmentally friendly and sustainable solution for water scarcity.

The increasing problem of depletion of water reserves is one of the major factors driving the growth of the atmospheric water generator market. Water is essential for the reduction of poverty and the growth of the economy. However, economic growth has an impact on water. Finding a balance between water supply and demand is the suggested answer. India had 19 million tube or automated wells by 2000, up from less than a million in 1960. This demonstrates the nation's economic development and the increased irrigation that it brought about, which significantly increased water stress, particularly in Rajasthan and Maharashtra.
Water resources are scarce, and daily water usage is rising. The rate of water withdrawal exceeds the rate of replenishment. According to UNESCO, 20% of the world's groundwater sources have been overused due to inadequate management and improper sustainable water use. 90% of the wastewater produced in developing countries is the result of insufficient wastewater treatment, leakage of chemicals and pesticides into water sources, and heavy crop irrigation. The lack of water has caused people to pay more attention to atmospheric humidity. Throughout the forecast period, this factor is anticipated to boost the market for atmospheric water generators.
Additionally, there will be more water usage in the coming years owing to the rising focus on industrialization, further creating growth opportunities for atmospheric water generator market. Moreover, population growth and depleting water supplies are anticipated to be the major market drivers for atmospheric water generators.
Growing R&D efforts in this area will probably allow generator makers to create models that are more efficient and have less environmental impact. Several manufacturers are integrating on-board power generation equipment, such as wind turbines and solar panels, into their new product development activities. Due to the relatively straightforward manufacturing process, many new producers, such Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems Pvt. Ltd. and Drinkable Air, are focusing solely on producing household AWGs. Additionally, it is anticipated that increased government investments in water infrastructure would increase demand for AWGs in residential applications.
To combat the issue of water reserve depletion, various efforts are being taken for the advancement of AWGs, for instance, to develop the Sola Hydra Cube design for residential and commercial AWGs, World Environmental Solutions Pty Ltd and Net Zero Renewable Energy Inc. inked a contract in February 2022. By manufacturing clean drinking water using renewable energy, the strategic alliance will assist both businesses in gaining a competitive edge in the global market. Additionally, the Central Railway of India announced in March 2022 that water generators will be installed at 14 locations throughout its eight stations in the Mumbai Division, including Sion Kurla, Kalyan, Thane, CSMT, Dader, and others, as part of a non-fair revenue scheme. Such initiatives will positively impact the market of AWGs, in turn flourishing its growth.
The Atmospheric Water Generator Market segmentation, based on Product has been segmented as Cooling Condensation and Wet Desiccation. Among these, the Cooling Condensation type is projected to dominate the Atmospheric Water Generator Market revenue through the projected period. Â By lowering the air's dew point, the cooling condensation atmospheric water generator produces water. A compressor circulates refrigerant between an evaporator coil and a condenser in an atmospheric water generator (AWG) for cooling, which lowers the air temperature to the dew point and causes water to condense. When compared to other AWG machines, cooling condensation gives a high output. The amount of water created during cooling condensation is influenced by the relative humidity, temperature size, and ambient air temperature. When the relative humidity is greater than 30% and the temperature is above 18.3 degrees Celsius, cooling condensation water atmospheric water generators function effectively.
