The Thirst Quencher's Revolution: Unveiling the Dynamics of the Bottled Water Market
The bottled water industry has been making waves globally, with a significant shift in focus towards developing markets. This blog post delves into the insights from Makreo Research's comprehensive report on the "Bottled Water Market Analysis, Size, Share and Forecast (2018-2028)- Segmentation by Product & Geography".
The Rise of the East:
China's Thirst for Bottled Water China has emerged as a key player in the bottled water market. Factors such as weather changes and the increasing demand for hydration solutions have led to a surge in bottled water sales. Companies are capitalizing on this potential by expanding operations and tailoring products to suit the preferences of Chinese consumers.
Saudi Arabia:
The Oasis of the Middle East Bottled Water Market Saudi Arabia dominates the Middle East bottled water market. The country's desalinated tap water has an unpleasant flavor, making bottled water a preferred choice for the majority.
Sparkling and Flavored Waters:
The New Trend in Developed Markets The demand for sparkling and flavored water is registering significant growth, especially in developed countries. These products are popular among younger demographics seeking healthier alternatives to carbonated and sugary drinks.
Pricing Trends in the Bottled Water Market
Despite water being a basic ingredient, the bottled water market saw a 3% rise in off-trade unit price in 2022. The average wholesale price per gallon of domestic non-sparkling bottled water in 2021 was USD 1.23, according to the Beverage Marketing Corporation (BMC).
Innovative Product Launches:
A Game Changer Companies are launching innovative products to stay competitive. For instance, Danone-AQUA introduced AQUA LIFE, a product that combines healthy ingredients with environmental consciousness. Similarly, Evian launched Evian+, a mineral-enhanced sparkling beverage designed to boost cognitive performance.
