Ireland Bottled Water Market 2025

Projections for the Ireland bottled water market suggest a promising growth trajectory, with an anticipated rise of USD 160.8 million and a CAGR nearing 6.3% over the next five years. Ireland’s bottled water market is driven by health-led consumer preferences and retail channel expansion into convenience formats.

While tap water is generally safe and well-managed, some high-profile boil notices and pipeline issues have raised awareness of water quality risks, particularly in rural areas. This has encouraged certain demographic segments—such as young families and health-conscious individuals—to favor bottled alternatives. Increased marketing around water purity and origin has supported differentiation, especially for waters sourced from natural springs in the west and south of the country.

The proliferation of convenience retail outlets, including petrol stations, corner stores, and vending channels, has also strengthened impulse purchases of bottled water. Busy urban lifestyles and commuting patterns support small-format, chilled bottled offerings. Furthermore, the Irish government’s upcoming restrictions on single-use plastics are pressuring manufacturers to adopt recyclable or bio-based packaging materials, pushing innovation in product design and sustainability positioning.
