Factors Affecting the Growth of the Bottled Water Industry:
- Health & Wellness Trends Fuel Premiumization:
Health consciousness is increasing the demand for functional bottled water. This includes alkaline, vitamin-infused, and electrolyte-enhanced options. According to EY, 40% of Indian consumers will pay more for health-focused products. This is higher than the global average of 29%. Furthermore, 94% of Indians care about their family’s health. This is more than the 82% worldwide, as stated in EY’s report. This trend is making nutrient-enriched and purified water more popular, especially among fitness enthusiasts. As a result, the market is expanding.
- Sustainability & Eco-Friendly Packaging Innovations:
Consumer decision-making is changing because of environmental awareness. Currently, 52% of Americans prefer bottled or filtered water due to its perceived eco-friendliness (Aquasana, 2023). So, companies are now using recyclable materials like glass, aluminum, and rPET. For example, FIJI Water is now using 100% rPET in its redesigned 500ML and 330ML bottles. This modification reduces plastic waste and promotes sustainability by making the bottles more stylish and environmentally friendly. Such actions appeal to environmentally conscious consumers and support the expansion of the green market.
- Urbanization & Convenience-Driven Demand:
More than half of the world lives in cities. The UN expects this to reach 70% by 2050. So, there is a high demand for hydration solutions on the go. Bottled water fits busy urban lives well. Its portability, resealable packaging, and smart dispensers make it easy to use. The industry's push for premium convenience shows in partnerships like Hiru Corporation's deal with VOSS Water. This collaboration will boost market growth in the future.
