Bottled Water Consumption Surpassing That of Milk, Coffee, and Beer

December 10, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Lifestyle News
Los Angeles, CA - The bottled water industry has seen a tremendous increase in sales since the mid-1990's. According to the Beverage Marketing Corporation, bottled water consumption in the U.S. has surpassed that of milk, coffee, and beer. As the market matures, it will become increasingly important to continue product innovation and to increase brand awareness to combat falling prices due to price promotions.

Our original consumer research provides critical insights in formulating a successful marketing strategy. For example, more than half of respondents who drink bottled water prefer spring water to purified water and notice a difference in the taste. Forty-three percent of respondents feel that there is a significant difference between bottled water brands, while almost two-thirds of respondents are brand loyal.

Younger respondents, Black respondents, and respondents earning under $50K are more discriminating in their views on bottled water. They feel that there is a difference between purified and spring water and have a preference for spring water. These groups are also the most brand loyal.
With new products hitting the market on a regular basis; bombarding the public with an overwhelming selection of beverages there must be a way to distinguish from the overwhelming selections. “What’s good?
