Rising
prevalence of obesity and growing awareness about healthy lifestyle
among urban population are expected to remain the key drivers
governing the growth of the global flavored and functional water
market. As health concerns of consumers are detaining them from
consuming artificial flavored beverages and carbonated drinks, the
popularity of flavored water is growing. Functional water is
especially attractive because of its health benefits and reduced
switching costs, as the price nearly equals that of the flavored
water. Availability of a range of flavors and options in flavored and
functional water will also boost the market growth, as consumers
usually prefer to try new tastes and follow the best of them.
Although flavored and functional water is a bit expensive, increasing
income levels nowadays allow people to consume premium products like
this water, especially in developing nations. This is anticipated to
be a major factor holding a positive impact on the market growth.
Manufacturing companies have been grasping the right market by
linking water to health and beauty regimes. This will continue to hit
developing markets over the forecast period. Exploding
industrialization in China has led to polluted water supply,
eventually pushing the demand for packaged drinking water. This is
currently providing an uptick to flavored and functional water as
well, and is foreseen to continue in the near future.
There
have been several protest campaigns against packaging bottles, which
may hamper the market to a great extent. Threat of substitutes is a
longstanding challenge that will continue to hold a negative impact
on the market growth through to 2019.
