The packaged water market is expected to register a CAGR of 5% during 2023–2031. The increasing focus on fortified packaged water with added nutrients for health-conscious consumers is likely to be the trend in the packaged water market.

Packaged Water Market Analysis:

• The demand for packaged water across the world is increasing due to growing health awareness and water quality issues. Portability and convenience ensure that use is rife in urban areas and in developing countries.
• Environmental worries over plastic waste are leading to innovations in sustainable packaging and premium, mineral-rich products to differentiate the offerings and gain a foothold in higher market segments.

Packaged Water Market Overview

• Packaged water is plain and treated water that is sold in bottled or other containers for drinking. It encompasses different types like spring water, purified water, and mineral water, among others.
• Premiumization as consumers opt for enhanced waters or flavored waters; more sustainability efforts to address issues of plastic pollution; home and office delivery services to cater to increasing time spent away from office and work; and functional waters fortified with vitamins or minerals.
• The emerging markets in Asia, Latin America, and Africa are growth markets for packaged water since living standards continue to improve while the existing public water infrastructure remains underdeveloped. As competition intensifies, brands increasingly differentiate their products by promoting innovative packaging and marketing them aggressively.

Packaged Water Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rising Health Awareness Among Consumers

• People are getting health-conscious, opting to drink water for hydration, rather than sugary drinks. They are also more 'water-conscious,' worrying about contamination and tending to believe that bottled water is purer and safer than tap water, especially in places where the public water supply is unreliable.
• The increasing emphasis on health- and fitness-conscious lifestyles has also driven up water consumption. Water is increasingly being seen as an essential part of a healthy lifestyle, driving its demand. The growing demand for 'clean living' and 'detox' has also enhanced water's popularity.

Proliferation of E-commerce

• Increasingly, a large portion of growth in the packaged water market is being driven by e-commerce. Online, consumers can access a wide range of water brands and types – including premium water and niche options that may be hard to find in local stores – with very little effort.
• The online marketplace also allows water brands to reach more consumers, expand their reach geographically, and give them access to valuable consumer data for targeted marketing. In the digital world, subscription-based models for water delivery services will appear more frequently.
