Global Bottled Water Market 2025

The global bottled water sector is poised for a dynamic growth phase, anticipating an increase of USD 107.2 billion and a CAGR of approximately 5.3% from 2025 to 2030. The global bottled water market continues its steady ascent, underpinned by a complex interplay of health awareness, infrastructural disparities, shifting consumer lifestyles, and evolving environmental priorities. While regional nuances shape local dynamics, two macro-level forces have emerged as the primary engines of global expansion: rising health consciousness driving preference for low-calorie, sugar-free hydration, and the persistent lack of access to safe and palatable drinking water in both developing and developed regions. These structural forces are reshaping consumption patterns across income brackets and geographic zones, redefining the role of bottled water from a convenience product to a lifestyle essential.

Heightened health awareness has reoriented beverage choices globally, positioning bottled water as a preferred alternative to sugar-laden carbonated drinks. In mature markets such as North America and Western Europe, public health campaigns and regulatory scrutiny have significantly reduced the appeal of high-sugar soft drinks, catalyzing a shift toward zero-calorie hydration options. This trend is reflected in consumption data: in the United States, bottled water overtook carbonated soft drinks as the most consumed packaged beverage in volume terms as early as 2016, and the trend has since solidified. Bottled water’s association with purity, hydration, and wellness now resonates strongly with millennials and Gen Z consumers, who increasingly prioritize functional health and transparent sourcing. The wellness economy’s global expansion—estimated at over USD 5 trillion—continues to elevate bottled water as an everyday wellness product, often linked with broader lifestyle aspirations such as fitness and clean eating.

Simultaneously, the global shortfall in access to clean and reliable drinking water, particularly in emerging economies and urbanizing regions, is reinforcing demand for bottled alternatives. According to UNICEF and WHO data, nearly 2 billion people lack access to safely managed drinking water services, with large populations in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and parts of Latin America dependent on bottled or vended sources for everyday hydration. Urbanization compounds this challenge, especially in rapidly growing metropolitan areas where municipal infrastructure lags population growth. Bottled water is increasingly viewed as a necessity in such contexts, not a luxury. Even in developed markets, instances of contamination and aging water systems—as seen in cases like Flint, Michigan—have triggered precautionary consumption behavior, supporting steady baseline demand even amid growing environmental scrutiny.
