Bottled water is a type of drinking water which is typically packed in a plastic or glass bottle. Bottled water processing systems are the machines and equipment used for the purpose of processing and packaging water. Bottled water processing systems typically include a wide range of water purification equipment such as filtrations units, UV treatment systems, and reverse osmosis equipment. Furthermore, bottled water processing systems also include packaging machineries such as blow molders, washers & fillers, capping machines, and labeling machines.

Bottled water processing systems are available in a wide range of water purification and packaging capacities and can be effectively modified as per the end user requirements. Thus, bottled water processing systems are suitable for use in large as well as medium and small-scale facilities bottled water processing facilities. Hence, the flexibility of bottled water processing systems positively influences the bottled water processing system market growth.

Market Dynamics

Drinking water is necessary for higher order living organisms to keep hydrated and maintain health. Hence, it is recommended that human beings consume at least around 2 liters of water every day. Thereby, making water the most consumed beverage in the world. Furthermore, it is necessary to ensure that water used for consumption is within the prescribed portable water limit set by various health organizations. Modern day urban homes are typically equipped with domestic water purification systems for ensuring the fitness of water for consumption. And bottled water proves to be ideal for consumption during events such as traveling, conference meetings, social events, sorts events and more. Thus, the never-ending requirement for pure water for consumption purposes is a major driver in the growth of the bottled water processing system industry.

Furthermore, individuals across the world are becoming more conscious of the significance of safe drinking water due to growing concerns about water pollution and drinking water contamination. Bottled water is perceived as a reliable and safe alternative to local tap water, as it undergoes rigorous filtration, purification, and quality control processes. Thus, governments across the globe are finding new ways for providing safe drinking water to their citizens. For instance, in September 2022, the Delhi government established a new bottled water facility in South Delhi, having the capacity of filling nine thousand bottles each day. Moreover, automated systems and machinery are often employed to maximize production output while maintaining quality standards. Therefore, the rise in the number of bottled water plants increases the demand for bottled water processing systems.

However, a substantial amount of plastic waste that is produced from the water bottles is one of the main environmental concerns associated with the bottled water market. The conventional packaging for bottled water used single-use plastic bottles, which eventually add to plastic pollution and take hundreds of years to degrade. For instance, over 55 million plastic bottles are discarded in the U.S. every day. Moreover, consumers are becoming more aware of the harmful effects of plastic garbage as environmental awareness rises. However, manufacturers are now coming with more environment friendly bottles. Furthermore, bottled water needs to comply with various drinking water requirements set by various government authorities. Thus, water needs to be processed extensively before it is packed in bottles and made available to consumers. Hence, many water purification equipment are employed at bottled water processing facilities. These equipment have high initial and operational costs. Therefore, factors such as environmental concerns and high initial cost of purification equipment can constraint the growth of the market.

Moreover, the increasing purchasing power of masses in developed and developing countries has increased the demand for premium bottled water. For instance, Evocus, a leading and provider of alkaline water has gained significant popularity in the Indian market in the past few years. Furthermore, the bottled water processing systems market was negatively impacted during COVID-19 pandemic, owing to lockdowns in major countries across the globe. However, the market recovered substantially post lockdowns, owing to increasing health awareness among the masses.
