Overview of companies in the bottled water industry with the biggest market share and the ones that have been traded the most via DEGIRO.

The bottled water industry’s biggest players

Bottled beverages have been available to consumers for centuries. First, they were available in glass bottles and later in steel and aluminum cans. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s when the introduction of PET plastic bottles made the bottled water industry take off. According to Allied Market Research, the bottled water industry had an estimated value of $169.8 billion in 2015 and is expected to grow to $319.8 billion in 2022.

While the bottled water industry has been growing, it has also faced challenges in the past years. The competition in this space is intensifying and there has been growing concern and, in some cases, bans on single-use plastic including plastic water bottles. The Covid-19 pandemic has also hindered bottled water sales, as reported by the Financial Times.

This article discloses the most traded bottled water companies via DEGIRO out of the ten biggest in terms of market share.
