Waternomics

• A typical American drinks about 10 cases of bottled water a year.

Water is the new front:

Old Rivals Pepsi & Coke fighting for market share

• The three global giants in the industry Coca Cola and Pepsi and Nestle

• Pepsi’s Aquafina, introduced in 1997, is now the number one branded non-carbonated bottled water in the US.

• Coke’s Dasani, launched a few months later, is second in the category. Both are likely to lead the market in the future.

• Market analysts look for major consolidation among the plethora of brands in the next few years.

• It is anticipated that large national marketers will buy local brands around the country and shut them down. Why? To reduce competition and, in some cases, to acquire other supply sources for spring water.

• The battle between Coke and Pepsi and the larger European brands is the “high profile war that will be waged,” predicts at least one industry insider, who adds that branding will remain a deciding factor for discerning consumers. “Quality and trust are going to be critical, so brands will be important.”

The Opportunity
