Increasing Health Issues Due to Contaminated Water Consumption to Spur Demand for Bottled Water

The increasing prevalence of health issues such as gastrointestinal problems and reproductive problems caused by the consumption of contaminated water has been significantly boosting the demand for hygienic bottled water globally. The poor supply of clean tap water and mismanagement of public water infrastructure in various developing regions are also encouraging the demand for bottled water. Moreover, the convenience associated with bottled water is driving their global demand.

In recent times, there has been a significant shift in the preference from carbonated drinks towards flavored water. "Growing health awareness among consumers is translating into a greater preference for convenient, healthy, safer, and refreshing beverages that are caffeine-free, calorie-free, and free from artificial ingredients, which is augmenting the market," says a TMR analyst.

Hazardous Impact of Bottled Water on Environment to Hamper Growth Prospects

Despite the numerous health benefits offered by bottled water, the market is restrained by their drastic environmental impact. The procedures of water extraction, water processing, and bottling require large volumes of energy. In addition, the environmental pollution caused by the improper disposal of plastic bottles is facing significant criticism. This is compelling several governments to ban the sales of plastic water bottles and form stringent regulations regarding recyclable packaging solutions. The increasing stringency of regulations is also hampering the growth of the market. However, the development of recycled and eco-friendly packaging will assist the market in gaining higher momentum in the coming years.
