The global bottled water packaging market was valued at USD 106.68 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to USD 222.25 billion by 2034, with an annual growth rate of 6.9% from 2024 to 2034. This growth is driven by the rising awareness of the importance of staying hydrated for health and well-being, as well as the increasing demand for convenient hydration options among consumers with busy lifestyles.

Bottled water is packaged in a wide range of containers, including cartons, bags, cans, glass bottles, and various types of plastic bottles. These are mostly single-use items, often holding one liter or less. The origins of the bottled water business can be traced back to early water bottling practices at the Holy Well in the UK.
The bottled water industry has expanded rapidly, with an estimated 600 million households purchasing bottled water by 2022, consuming nearly 446 billion liters annually—equivalent to one million bottles per minute. A major driver of this growth is the renewed interest in spa culture and water therapy among European and American colonists. Over time, bottled water packaging and flavors have evolved in response to shifting consumer preferences and brand dynamics.
Today, bottled water companies place significant emphasis on product packaging, recognizing its vital role in protecting consumer health and safety while minimizing environmental impact. Packaging materials are carefully chosen to ensure strong protection without compromising sustainability.
Growing Demand for Clean Drinking Water
In October 2023, Chlorophyll Water became the first bottled water brand in the U.S. to meet the Clean Label Project’s strict certification requirements. The brand transitioned to using bottles made from 100% recycled plastic (rPET) with CleanFlake technology, further highlighting the shift towards sustainable packaging.
Sustainability is becoming a major trend in the bottled water packaging industry, with a growing shift away from plastic bottles toward more climate-conscious packaging solutions, such as cans. In the UK, 60% of consumers believe plastic bottles are the least environmentally friendly drink packaging. As a result, many bottled water producers are moving toward more sustainable alternatives. For instance, in 2023, Amazon launched a 5-liter spring water bottle in the UK with reduced plastic packaging, offering a more sustainable option while maintaining hygiene standards.
Additionally, in 2023, Australian brand Helping Humans introduced immunity-boosting flavored waters featuring natural ingredients like echinacea and turmeric, further aligning with consumer demand for healthier and more sustainable beverage options.
