Factors fueling revenue growth of the U.S. bottled water market

There are increasing concerns regarding various health problems such as neurological disorders, gastrointestinal diseases and reproductive problems caused by the consumption of contaminated water, which is leading to an increase in demand for clean and hygienic bottled water in the U.S. If the water is properly packaged, it is protected against any kind of bacterial contamination, regardless of the storage time. There is a marked shift in consumers in favor of safe, healthy and refreshing beverages that are free from calories, caffeine and preservatives. This trend is fueling the demand for bottled water in the U.S. Carbonated water contains caffeine and phosphoric acid that can lead to digestive issues, weight gain, heart burn, etc. Also, there is high acid content in carbonated water due to which consumers are preferring a healthier option that is low calorie flavored water. Due to this shift, companies are refocusing their efforts towards the development of healthy beverages such as flavored water and functional water.

Restraints restricting the growth of the U.S. bottled water market

The companies producing bottled water are facing increasing criticism for their manufacturing processes from environmentalists, as a large amount of energy is needed for water extraction, water processing and bottling. Another dimension to this aspect is the environmental pollution caused due to improper disposal of plastic bottles – this factor is expected to hinder the growth of the U.S. bottled water market in the future. For example, in February 2016, sale of plastic water bottles was banned in the U.S. city of San Francisco to check environmental pollution. Moreover, increasing number of norms and regulations related to the packaging of bottled water is expected to have a negative impact on the growth of the U.S. bottled water market.
