Reverse osmosis (RO) manufacturers are now participating in the brand new WQA Reverse Osmosis Market Trends Report! This report is tracking quarterly RO sales trends based on data from the leading RO manufacturers. RO unit sales data are being collected quarterly for the US and Canada for residential RO systems and replacement RO membrane cartridges. This is a valuable tool for participating companies to analyze the growth or recession of this market sector over time.

The online data reporting site is hosted and managed by Dynamic Benchmarking (an independent 3^rd party vendor) in order to main confidentiality of company data. All data submissions and the delivery of results are protected using multiple layers of security and encryption. Data results are displayed in aggregate and require a minimum number of responses. Only users in the company account have access to individual responses, and WQA will not have access to individual participant responses.

2020 results are expected to be made available to participants in Q2, 2021. Limited results will also be made available for WQA members who are non-reporters in Q2, 2021.

This program is only open for participation for RO manufacturers. There is no fee for RO manufacturers to participate or view results. If you are an RO manufacturer who is interested in participation, contact rotrends@wqa.org for details and requirements.
