尽管与"水"紧密关联且身处"大健康"赛道，净水行业却似乎始终被一种难以突破的魔咒所笼罩。早在八九年前，中国产业调研网就曾发布报告乐观预测， 2013至2017年间我国净水器行业年均增长率将保持在15%以上，市场规模有望在2017年突破千亿元大关。然而现实远不如预期，直至2024年，据奥维云网 (AVC)推总数据显示，国内水家电(包括净水器、净饮机、饮水机及线上净水设备)整体零售额仅为346亿元。 到了消费者层面，信任构建与信息透明始终是净水行业未能彻底逾越的鸿沟。水质关乎家庭健康，但净水技术对普通用户而言仍近似"黑箱"，信息不对称极 易触发信任危机。比如此前被自媒体广泛炒作的"阻垢剂"事件，即便多次经专家和学术论文澄清其安全性，仍无法完全消解公众疑虑。这类争议背后，折射 出行业在消费者教育和沟通机制上的长期缺位，导致市场信心脆弱，易受不实信息冲击。 更值得警惕的是，部分企业为追求短期销量采取夸大宣传、恶意竞争等策略，不断损耗整个行业的公信力。诸如"活化水"、"能量水"等伪概念，以及刻意误 导的对比营销，不仅无益于市场教育，反而持续消解消费者对行业的信任。水的专业属性决定了用户高度依赖品牌与企业的专业诚信，一旦 ...
