Background and report description

Zenith has identified five key dynamics in the UK bottled water market at the moment and they are not all pointing in the same direction. We have always believed that the benefits of convenient, healthy hydration create an underlying momentum towards long term growth.  Against that, concerns have been raised about environmental impact, but these are progressively being answered. 

The economic downturn has been another adverse factor in the past few years, putting greater emphasis on value for money. The weather is also an important variable – very poor in both 2007 and 2008, but more favourable in 2009 and 2010. Finally, the water cooler segment has changed dramatically – from rapid growth in bottles to even higher consumption in point of use (POU).

One of the very first market reports in Zenith’s portfolio celebrates its 20^th edition in 2011 and it remains the most comprehensive report available on the UK bottled water market, as a result of established relationships and detailed discussions with industry players.
