The document discusses the global bottled water market and major companies. The market is dynamic with many competitors, though some large firms control a significant share. The main company types are small brands, big food/beverage corporations like Nestle and Danone, and urban water suppliers. Nestle has many brands and the largest market share worldwide. Danone owns Evian and Volvic, two top brands. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo also have large water businesses to complement their portfolios. The future of the industry depends on performance of major companies and their ability to grow in new markets.

35. Rusia Minerale Acqua
Mexico Electropura
United Kingdom V Water
PepsiCo
Apart from Aquafina in the
USA, PepsiCo owns other
brands in several countries
38. In the next five years, as a general tendency, the main
four companies will mainly center their efforts in the
USA and Europe markets, mature and consolidated, but
still heavily fragmented
39. The immediate future of the industry will be strongly
related to the results of the main companies in the
world water market
40. Will be interesting to follow the
next steps of PepsiCo and Coca-
Cola: in only 10 years, with
Aquafina and Dasani brands,
started from zero and are now
the first and second selling
brands in the USA
Next step: both companies will
attempt to control/dominate the
world market and challenge the
present leaders command:
Nestlé and Danone
41. Due to the market contraction in
the last years, all the big players
in the bottled water market are
trying to position themselves in
the quickly growing markets in
developing countries
43. The WTO (World Trade
Organization) estimated that the
world water trade is limited to
bottled water and just represents
0,02% of the value of worldwide
goods
25% of the billion bottles sold every
year in the world is sold out of its
country of origin
75% is produced and distributed at
regional level
44. More than 90% of Nestlé’s Water
volume is sold out in the country
where it is produced
Vichy Catalán, from the three main
water bottlers in Spain, exported 3%
of its production to 29 countries
45. In the next future, the tendency
seems to be an increase to the
bottling water flows at the local,
regional, national and international
levels
The big bottling water corporations
did found a market niche in the
emergent countries
The strategy for growing is right
now the acquisition of local, well
positioned companies
46. To finish...
The comparatively high price
and the consideration of the
difficulties to recycle the
water containers is
generating certain rejection
from the public
47. New York and Boston cities
launched a campaign pushing the
citizens to return to tap water
consumption
Several USA and Australia
universities banned to sold
bottled water in the campus
