Key Highlights

Table water accounted for 70% of bulk/HOD volumes in 2011 due to many consumers opting to purchase table water as an economical alternative to tap water; particularly where the quality of public water is considered to be unsafe.
The industry standard bulk/HOD pack is the bubble top. In the Middle East and Africa there is no alternative. Polycarbonate is the lead bubble top packaging material in every region, with all competing polypropylene now concentrated in Latin America. Meanwhile, PET is proving increasingly popular, especially in Asia. Most HDPE packs are also to be found in this region
Refill ability is the norm, not just for bubble tops but for all bulk/HOD water pack types. Less than 1% of volume is in non-refillable packaging, with very little historical movement on a global level.
The off-premise channel counts for the lion's share of the Bulk/HOD water market (70%) driven by the home delivery market, particularly in locations where municipal water is considered to be unsafe. However, the on-premise channel performed slightly ahead of the off-premise channel, thanks to the continued growth in institutions continuing to stock and supply water
