Bottled Water Processing Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Still, Sparkling and other products), Packaging Material (Glass, Plastic and Other Packaging Materials), Equipment (Filters & Capper, Mainstream and Other Equipments), Technology (Ultrafiltration (UF), Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Other Technologies), Application and Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Bottled Water Processing Market is accounted for $291.09 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $519.36 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.13% during the forecast period. The main purpose of bottled water processing is to treat and purify water. The market's expansion over the past few years has been directly impacted by the rising prevalence of water-borne illnesses. Technology used in water processing helps to clean the water of dangerous bacteria so that it is safe to drink. The demand for packaged drinking water is being driven by consumers' increasing awareness of the quality and hygienic standards of the products they consume.
According to the IBWA (International Bottled Water Association), the per-capita consumption in the US exceeded 42 gallons in 2017, while the intake of carbonated soft drink reduced to less than 38 gallons.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growing demand for Flavoured water
Consumer demand for flavoured and functional beverages has been increasing over time and has now overtaken all other growth factors in the market under study. Convenience of consumption and its effects on human nutrition are elements that driveup market demand. The working class and millennial are predicted to drive market expansion with functional water. Large flavoured water producers and traders in the nation have started switching to flavoured and functional water from carbonated beverages and juices. Functional and flavoured water has gained prominence as a beverage replacement in affluent countries. Because there are now more options for flavoured water, consumers have more diversity to choose from, which has increased demand.
Restraint:
Scarcity of energy increases operational costs
The bottled water processing sector is constrained by high energy and operating expenses. Basic infrastructure for delivery, treatment, and storage is lacking in poor nations. Technologies for disinfection include chemical treatment using chlorine gas demand a large amount of treated water. Underdeveloped nations have very poor infrastructure and equipment. For smaller firms, the initial investment cost to put up membrane modules in end applications is very high. Therefore, the primary barrier to the expansion of the worldwide bottled water processing market is the high capital cost of establishing new facilities.
Opportunity:
High growth opportunities in Asian markets
The consumption of bottled water has increased in the Asia Pacific region due to a number of factors, including rising earnings, more consumer awareness of the hygiene and quality of the products they consume, and rising convenience needs. The consumers in the area are anticipating drinking flavoured and nutritional water, which can help them increase their intake of nutrients. As a result, the necessity for wastewater treatment and water desalination technologies has expanded in this area due to the rising demand for natural resources like water.
Threat:
High capital investments for bottled water equipment
Installing processing equipment requires significant capital expenditures from producers of bottled water. The operational margins for bottlers of water are impacted by the high installation costs and frequent maintenance that go along with this processing equipment. Manufacturers of bottled water processing seek out more affordable solutions, such renting out equipment. Renting processing equipment saves on annual maintenance costs, which are often handled by rental providers, and also needs less capital expenditure.
Covid-19 Impact
The bottled water sector faced logistical difficulties as a result of the extensive regulations put in place by governments around the world to combat COVID-19. More over one and a half years have passed since COVID-19's first global outbreak. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) reports that bottled water companies have increased their production facilities to meet the spike in demand. This entails raising the capacity for bottling, acquiring more supplies for production and packaging, and speaking with retailers to gauge demand.
The still water segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The still water segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth during the projected period. The need for coolers, dispensers, and pumps is driving up the price of bottled water. The demand for still bottles in smaller pack sizes is currently very high in the household market. The market for bottled water processing equipment is predicted to grow as a result of rising demand in restaurants, retail outlets, and food service companies.
The filter segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The filter segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the rising demand for water filtering to remove dangerous bacteria and chemicals, the filter segment currently accounts for a sizable portion of the market. It is used at the beginning of the water processing process to assist stop any undesired pollutants from being processed further.
Region with highest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the changing customer tastes and preferences, rising adoption of novel products like flavoured water, and growing consumer awareness of the health risks associated with drinking contaminated water, the market for bottled water processing is expected to develop. Due to considerable investments made in the bottled water processing sector, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to have the largest share over the projection period. In order to meet the increasing demand for bottled water in the region, a number of new local important firms are developing in China, India, Vietnam, and Thailand that concentrate on sizable investments in water processing plants.
Region with highest CAGR:
Europe is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to nations like Germany, France, the UK, Spain, and others are known for consuming a lot of bottled water annually, Europe is thought to be one of the largest locations for the manufacturing of bottled water. The increased level of consumption can be ascribed to Europeans' shifting beverage preferences toward still water over flavoured options and their shift away from carbonated or alcoholic beverages.
