India's Water Purifier Market Expands Focus on Service and Maintenance Economy
India's water purifier market is shifting focus from one-time appliance sales to a growing service economy, including filter replacements and maintenance contracts, projected to reach nearly Rs 9,000 crore by FY30. Companies like Eureka Forbes are expanding technician networks to build customer trust and ensure recurring revenue. Meanwhile, consumers are advised to consider warranty coverage and maintenance costs carefully, as some purifiers offer comprehensive warranties and smart diagnostics to reduce long-term expenses, contrasting with models that rely on pay-per-use service.
