The global bottled water market is being pushed further by the growing demand for still bottled water among consumers who are looking for clean water that is caffeine-free, calorie-free, and does not contain any artificial ingredients. Bottled water sales are also being bolstered due to the inception of stricter regulations regarding the use of chemicals and maintaining sugar levels in carbonated and non-carbonated drinks, which are showing a steady rate of decline in demand. The market is also being driven by the increasing amount of disposable incomes present among individuals from emerging economies, where a large number of leading players are beginning to set up manufacturing facilities.

Bottled Water Makers Face Repercussions from Environmental Impact

One of the key factors restraining the global bottled water market currently, is the increasing amount of criticism that players are facing due to the use of non-degradable materials for packaging, as well as consuming very high amounts of energy for the extraction, purification and processing, and packaging of water. Both factors have led to the formation of several environment protective bodies that are battling the growing use of natural water resources and the increasing generation of plastic waste.
