Bottled Water in Pakistan Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2023 - 2028)

 Factors such as the desire to drink healthy water, health concerns, and poor tap water quality in Pakistan are the main reasons for consumers' interest in bottled water. For instance, Pakistan is one of the countries where fluorosis is endemic, and the Thar Desert areas of Sindh province are among the affected areas.

The groundwater, especially the water in unconfined aquifers, is the primary source of drinking water for people living in those areas of Sindh. Groundwater is mostly available in dug wells, generally at a depth of 30 to 75 meters, which is salty and highly contaminated by the presence of fluoride. Fluorosis is high in such areas, including dental, skeletal, musculoskeletal, and other forms of fluorosis.

Additionally, the release of untreated industrial waste, unsafe sewage systems, agriculture run-off, and unplanned urbanization has downgraded water quality over the years, especially in the big cities, due to which the urban population has been constant for the past few years. For instance, according to the World Bank, in 2021, the total urban population percentage in Pakistan was 37% which was the same since 2018. 

The Pakistan Bottled Water Market size is estimated at USD 292.61 million in 2023, and is expected to reach USD 498.11 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 11.96% during the forecast period (2023-2028).

Bottled drinking water use in Pakistan has increased manifolds during the last 15 years. The trend for drinking healthy water and poor tap water quality are the main reasons for consumers' interest in bottled water consumption in Pakistan. Drinking water sources in Pakistan, both surface and groundwater, are contaminated with coliforms, toxic metals, and pesticides throughout the country.

Also, various drinking water quality parameters set by the WHO are frequently violated, attracting consumers to consider bottled water for drinking purposes, thus driving the market's growth in the country.
