Beverage Industry: What is the future of Bottled Water?

First of all to understand the future of Bottled Water we have to see the past. Bottle Water has been around for a long time in Europe. I remember when I worked in Europe about 10 years ago we only drank bottled water. All my friends had cases and cases of bottled water, sparkling and none. They drank it by itself, they mixed it with their favorite juice, they asked for it at restaurants and drank it at home.

Bottled water has a long history in Europe and now the question is what will it do for us in the USA and all of North America?

Well, it’s a good question. The bottled water category is still growing more than 20% per year in scanned data (data available from supermarket sales) but it’s hard to say what it’s doing at convenience. My opinion is that it’s growing even more.

The real eye opener is not necessarily the bottled water category, it’s the consumer channels. The consumers are demanding more varieties of water and better watery. This is where the category will grow the most, in High-end Water.
