Functional water is an enhanced beverage modified to provide additional benefits beyond basic hydration with added vitamins, minerals, and herbs to support specific health claims and improve overall well-being. The demand for functional water is increasing to address particular health concerns, boost energy levels, improve mental performance, aid in weight loss, and support various other aspects of a healthy lifestyle. Functional waters have increasingly become the preferred hydration choice for athletes and sportspersons for multiple reasons, including improved athletic performance, enhanced recovery, targeted nutrient delivery, and overall health benefits. Functional water is often fortified with vitamins and minerals essential for maintaining energy levels and combating oxidative stress caused by intense workouts. Using premium components such as vitamins, minerals, electrolytes, antioxidants, botanical extracts, and probiotics causes higher prices of functional water due to limited sources or complex extraction methods. In addition, the inefficient recycling processes, pollution from the manufacturing and transportation of plastic bottles, and contamination issues during recycling poses environmental concerns related to recycling functional water bottles, negatively impacting the growth of the functional water market. However, introducing eco-friendly materials and biodegradable plastics with minimalistic packaging designs has expanded customer preference toward functional water portfolios. Moreover, functional water manufacturers are increasingly focusing on deploying their offerings on eCommerce platforms to enhance brand visibility, customer reach, and overall business performance, further improving the availability of novel products worldwide.
