Bottled Water Locates Growth Opportunities in Flavored and Functional Products due to a Shift in Hydration Preferences


Manufacturers to differentiate via innovative products and business models in addition to sustainable packaging, finds Frost & Sullivan

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- To stand out in a highly fragmented market, bottled water companies are changing the look and feel of their packaging to establish their brand and address consumer concerns regarding the impact of single-use plastics on the environment.  Global leading bottled water suppliers themselves have stated that about 2.5 liters of water is used to produce 1 liter of finished bottled water highlighting the sustainability related challenge of the industry. Additionally, the use of PET bottles and the resulting plastic waste has a devastating impact on the land and marine ecological systems. The alarming rises in litter, as well as the resource-inefficient production process, have prompted and driven product and business model innovation opportunities in bottled water companies.

"Stringent government policies are prompting businesses to adopt and implement sustainable packaging practices to reduce the pollution caused by plastic waste," said Anagha Lakshmi J Energy & Environment Research Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "Companies like Evian and Highland Spring will be launching eco bottles that are 100 percent PET recyclable, others such as Nestle are aiming to achieve 100 percent recycling or reuse of their packaging by 2025, while Britain will be introducing a deposit-return scheme for single-use drink containers. Initiatives like these are greatly increasing awareness among consumers."

From a regional view, the North American and European regions are expected to remain more or less stable contributing $24.93 billion and $48.04 billion respectively. Asia-Pacific was the largest market in terms of total consumption, accounting for 33 percent of the market in 2017 due to its changing lifestyles, large population, and rapid urbanization. Similarly, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa are likely to experience rapid growth due to their poor water infrastructure and unsafe tap water.

"In response to the rising health consciousness and unique regional palettes of consumers, bottled water manufacturers are turning away from aerated water and soft drinks, towards customising products tailored to local palettes as well as enhanced with new flavours and various proteins, nutritional, and detox supplements," noted Lakshmi.

Meanwhile, the widening of the global addressable market has encouraged participants to implement innovative business models in their market expansion strategies. Some of the most prominent growth opportunities and trends in the market include:
