Birch water is also known as birch sap. It is a transparent and sweet liquid and has a silky texture.

A 300ml of birch water contains 95% of the daily value of magnesium and 130% of daily manganese and birch water can also aid in weight loss as it eliminates excess salt and cleanses the urinary tract of harmful toxins.

Consumers are preferring organic products due to all these benefits of organic products which will result in the increased demand for organic plant-based water. Increasing demand will drive market growth for birch water. Therefore, rise in inclination toward organic food and beverages products is expected to drive the global birch water market growth in the upcoming future.
Furthermore, the rising applications of birch water in the personal care and cosmetics industry is fueling the market growth significantly.

The vitamin C in birch water may also strengthen your hair. All these benefits will increase its usage in the cosmetic industry which will provide an opportunity for the birch water market to grow.
However, the high prices of birch water may restrain the growth of the market. According to an article by Femina, a 100 ml bottle of birch water costs Rs 1,500 or $18.8, which is very expensive for a consumer in a developing nation. Such a high price of it makes it difficult for the middle-class population to consume. Such a high price of the product puts weight on the pocket of a consumer due to which consumers generally avoid it which can hinder the growth of the birch water market in the region.
