The disposable water bottle market was valued at $220.0 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $349.2 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2024 to 2033.

A disposable water bottle is a single-use plastic, glass, or metal container designed for the convenient storage and transport of water or other beverages. Made from lightweight materials like polyethylene terephthalate, these bottles are produced for one-time consumption and are widely used in various settings such as offices, events, and travel.

The growth of the global disposable water bottle market is majorly driven by surge in demand for convenient and portable options for on-the-go hydration that cater to busy lifestyles, travel, and outdoor activities. In addition, rapid urbanization and the growth of the middle class in emerging economies have increased demand for packaged water, boosting the consumption of disposable bottles. The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs in 2021 estimated that over 56% of the global population now resides in urban areas, with this figure expected to rise to 68% by 2050. This urban growth, particularly in developing nations, fuels demand for easily accessible water solutions such as disposable bottles. Furthermore, rise in concerns about water quality, hygiene, and access to safe drinking water encourage consumers to opt for bottled water, thus augmenting the growth of the global market. Moreover, surge in global tourism and hospitality services boosts the demand for disposable water bottles in hotels, events, and transportation hubs. However, single-use plastic bottles significantly contribute to plastic waste, which significantly hampers the growth of the market. According to a 2020 report from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, approximately 8 million metric tons of plastic entering the oceans annually. This has led to increasing regulatory pressure and consumer awareness regarding environmental degradation. In addition, rise in consumer demand for eco-friendly products has led to a shift away from single-use plastics, thus restraining the market growth. On the contrary, continuous improvements in bottle design, material innovation, and packaging such as biodegradable or recyclable bottles attract environmentally conscious consumers and are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the global market during the forecast period.
