Rain Barrels Market: Dynamics

The increasing scarcity of water in various regions across the globe is supporting the demand for rain barrels. Rain barrels help in reducing peak water demands generally during the summer. Apart from dealing with water scarcity problem, the rain barrels assist in controlling local flood problems by collecting water. The high volume holding capacity of rain barrels helps in collecting lots of water with less number of units. These factors are projected to drive the growth of the global rain barrels market during the forecast period. Incidentally, installing rain barrels also protects streams and rivers from erosion and prevents loss of soil. Rain barrels prevent pollutants from roads and paved areas from entering into the water bodies.

Moreover, installing rainwater is an easy technique to save water and reduce costs spent on the water bill and other related utilities. Also, rain barrels are highly durable as they can last for up to 20 years if maintained properly. These factors are supposed to drive the demand for rain barrels during the forecast period. The cost of rain barrels is quite high. This might hamper the growth of the global rain barrels market. Though some of the watershed associations are offering rain barrels at reduced prices, it helps in compensating the price barrier for rain barrels.
