The water purifier market is segmented based on technology into UV, RO, UF, and gravity-based water purifiers. The right selection of water purifier primarily depends on several elements such as, water quality, pressure, and contamination. For instance, RO purifiers are generally deployed where water contains high level of total dissolved solids (TDS) ranging from 500 to 2,000 PPM. However, UV purifiers are very effective for water containing bacteria, virus, and other microorganisms, which could cause water-borne diseases. Gravity purifiers are effective for water containing low TDS.
