Market Insights and Analyst View:
Bottled waters are packaged drinking water which purified and are free from contamination. The bottled water is mostly of two types carbonated/sparkling or still water, generally available in plastic or glass packaging. The bottled water is the most convenient way to fulfill its hydration needs of body, hence are easily available nearby retail stores as well as supermarkets and hypermarkets. The rising health concern among the consumers along with a shift in demand from carbonated soft drinks to bottled water is driving the growth of the bottled water market across the world. Along with this, the increase in acceptance of premium bottled water is providing growth opportunities for the bottled water market across the world.
Growth Drivers and Challenges:
Health has become an increasingly influential factor in consumers' choice of soft drinks. Various health issues are influencing the dynamics of the soft drinks industry. Nowadays, consumers are looking for healthier alternatives to carbonated soft drinks. They are gradually shifting from soda to bottled water. This shift is mainly driven by a change in consumers' preferences from high-sugar and unnatural drinks to healthier alternatives. Soft drinks, particularly carbonates, have been criticized for their high sugar content. Increasing consumer demand for healthy soft drink options has resulted in huge demand for bottled water. The high consumption of sugar-rich soft drinks has contributed to problems such as digestive issues, weight gain, and heartburn. Various bottled water companies are highly focused on offering flavored and functional water. These products are in high demand due to the growing concerns about rising obesity levels. Consumers are increasingly shifting toward low-calorie flavored water and functional water. Hence, a shift in demand from carbonated soft drinks to bottled water is mainly driving the bottled water market globally.
Water bottles are bought in huge quantities every year. However, a very less amount is recycled. Many of the plastic water bottles bought end up in landfills. This leads to a big problem, as water bottles do not biodegrade but photodegrade. According to Valley Water, bottles used to package water take over 1,000 years to bio-degrade, and if incinerated, they produce toxic fumes. Each bottle leaks harmful chemicals into the environment along the way as it decomposes. The toxins from decomposing bottles of water leach into the environment and cause various health issues such as reproductive problems and cancer. Moreover, research led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) found that the impact of bottled water on ecosystems is 1,400 times higher than tap water. Hence, the harmful impacts of bottled water on the environment are expected to restrain the growth of the bottled water market during the forecast period.
