Health concerns related to the high concentration of sugars and other additives in carbonated soft drinks has thus also emerged as a key driving force of the global bottled water market.

Rising disposable incomes and improved standards of living of the population in key emerging economies of regions such as Asia pacific, Latin America, and Eastern Europe are also key factors driving the market for bottled water in these regions.

Rising Criticism Regarding Environmental Impact of Operations in Bottled Water Market to Restrain Growth

Of late, bottled water producing companies have faced criticism owing to the large volumes of energy needed for basic operations such as water extraction, processing, and bottling. The issue of environmental impact of the improper disposal of plastic bottles has also led to significant negative publicity for the global bottled water market in the past few years. This issue has encouraged many the initiation of several stringent government regulations regarding the use of recyclable packaging solutions and adopting ways that can help reduce carbon footprint of the industry.

An instance is the European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC. It requires member states to enforce regulations regarding increased use of reusable or recoverable packaging, reduction of packaging weight and volume to reduce hazardous substances and materials in the packaging, and meet packaging material recovery and recycling targets. Such regulations are projected to hamper the overall development of the global bottled water market over the forecast period.
