Asia Pacific is the largest global market for bottled water, which can be attributed to overall rising health and wellness awareness, as well as the lack of access to safe water, and the consumer preference for switching from water purifiers to bottled water in some markets. Influenced by Coronavirus (COVID-19), bottled water is expected to see a significant increase in 2020, thanks to the channel shift and stockpiling during the epidemic.

Still bottled water generates the largest volume sales in Asia Pacific, thanks to its affordable price and wide accessibility in the market. Rising health and wellness awareness among consumers, as well as a lack of access to safe water, and consumer preference changing from water purifiers to bottled water in some markets, together largely contribute to growth.
