According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “GCC Bottled Water Market Report by Product Type (Still Bottled Water, Carbonated Bottled Water, Flavored Bottled Water, Mineral Bottled Water), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Retailers, Stores, On-Trade, and Others), and Region 2025-2033”, the GCC bottled water market reached a value of USD 25.7 Billion in 2024. Bottled water refers to purified drinking water that is packed in food grade plastic or glass bottles and intended primarily for human consumption. It is tested for the presence of chemicals and bacteria and undergoes special treatments, such as distillation and ozonation, which make it completely free from impurities. It is available in different varieties including still, carbonated, flavored, mineral and artesian, in line with the myriad taste and preferences of consumers. In comparison with tap water, bottled water provides consistent purity, safety, quality and taste, owing to which its demand is being augmented in the GCC region.
GCC Bottled Water Market Trends:
One of the significant factors which are strengthening the growth of the GCC bottled water market is rising health consciousness among consumers. They are now aware about the high sugar content in aerated drinks that may lead to chronic diseases such as obesity, type-2 diabetes and heart diseases. Moreover, on account of rapid urbanization and inflating disposable incomes of consumers, the food and beverage industry in the GCC region is witnessing rapid growth. Apart from this, governments of the GCC countries are introducing several strategies for attracting tourists which are strengthening the tourism industry. As numerous cafes, hotels and restaurants serve bottled water to their customers, its demand is being proliferated in the foodservice and hospitality industry. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 48.0 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 7.2% during 2025-2033.
