The increasing preference for nutrient-fortified water is trending due to the rising importance of health and wellness among consumers. The demand has increased among travelers, working professionals, and in-house consumers. Over the past few years, products with labels such as alkaline, electrolyte-rich, fortified, caffeinated water, fortified with additional hydrogen or oxygen have been gaining popularity.
Consumers are increasingly prioritizing their health and wellness, which is boosting the demand for purified and ultra-purified bottled options. Consumers chose to opt for these bottles on the go, as it is a healthier option for high-calorie, carbonated, and sugary drinks such as sports drinks and juices. According to data from the Beverage Marketing Corporation, the volume growth of bottled water slowed down in 2022 compared to the previous year, but producers' revenues increased by nearly 12% due to higher prices.
The per capita consumption of bottled water reached a new high of 46.5 gallons, while carbonated soft drinks remained at 36 gallons. Single-serving sizes were the most popular type of bottled water, accounting for the majority of the category's volume. Beverage Marketing Corporation expects bottled water to continue to grow and surpass carbonated soft drinks.
