Environmental pollution caused by plastic trash poses a challenge for the market's growth. The consumption of bottled water leads to health hazards.

There are increasing concerns regarding various health problems such as digestive issues, weight gain, heartburn, etc. due to which consumers are preferring a healthier option like functional water and flavored water.

Compared to other RTD beverages, functional waters are comparatively inexpensive and various packaging options, like containers and single-serve bottles, are making it more popular among consumers, thereby driving the growth of the functional water market.

The introduction of new and innovative types of functional water from the beverage manufacturing companies that are engaged in the production of water from the modified blends of protein and minerals is likely to fuel the growth of the market.
