Market Overview
The global bottled water market is growing at a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2021 - 2026).
Extensive restrictive measures set up by governments around the world to combat the global coronavirus outbreak have been creating logistical challenges for the bottled water processing sector. While this has been creating new bottlenecks in the sector, consumers continue to prefer stockpiling of essential commodities. This remains the key factor sustaining demand for bottled water even during the COVID-19 crisis.
The demand for bottled water rose in the initial months of lockdown stemmed from the stockpiling attitude of consumers, in anticipation of lockdowns and scarcity. The trend, however, soon declined further coupled with decreased sales caused due to setbacks of the tourism industry, globally.
The demand for bottled water is driven by the fear of diseases as an aftermath of drinking contaminated tap water, and the easy portability and convenience provided by bottled water. Environmental pollution caused by plastic trash poses a challenge for the market’s growth. The consumption of bottled water leads to health hazards.
The innovative packaging of bottled water is the latest trend in the market. The aim is to establish a brand image and differentiation in the bottled water market. It includes resealable and recyclable packaging material, sophisticated transparent bottles, or inks and coatings applied on the bottle, so as to enhance the customer experience through unique visual effects, along with increasing shelf appeal.

Key Market Trends
Growth in Tourism Industry Leading to Favorable Demand
Tourism is an important component of global economic growth, where both religious and non-religious tourisms have significant potential for expansion. With the rising influx of both local and foreign tourists in these tourist centres, it is expected to increase the consumption of treated water, i.e., bottled water. With the surge in tourism, the foodservice channels, such as cafes, pubs, hotels, and restaurants, are rising across the global market, which is expected to increase the sales of bottled water. Due to this factor, companies manufacturing bottled water in the region are developing various sizes of bottled water, which can be easily carried by tourists, as per their need and requirement. Furthermore, favourable government initiatives are being conducted to increase the tourism rate across the countries of the region. Thus, this is likely to boost the demand for bottled water, especially through the on-trade channel.
