Smart Water Cooler Market: Introduction
- Smart water coolers possess two outlets: one dispenses hot water, while the other dispenses cold water. This differentiates them from traditional water coolers. Smart water coolers have various functions such as LCD display, app control, and temperature control. They also carry additional in-built features such as water purification or filtration and additional dispenser for room temperature water.
- Demand for water coolers or water dispensers is increasing owing to the lack of availability of clean and pure water; and rise in awareness about health and hygiene among consumers. Furthermore, smart water coolers are more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Therefore, the global smart water cooler market is expected to expand significantly during the forecast period.
Key Drivers and Opportunities of the Global Smart Water Cooler Market
- The global smart water cooler market is driven by various factors such as quick and easy availability of cold water at any time of the day; and rising temperature across the globe. This rise in temperature is leading to an increase in demand for cold water. Other factors driving the market include awareness of timely consumption of water for better immune system and desire for clear skin. Smart water coolers also keep the water distilled and clean due to the attached filtration and covered water storage.
