Alkaline and Other Enhanced Waters in the U.S. through 2028

Water with many twists. Beverage Marketing Corporation's research report on the rapidly evolving segments of the U.S. value-added water industry assesses the current state and future expectations for a market characterized by innovation and new product entries with increasingly varied ingredients and functional benefits. It provides an overview of the sub-segments including alkaline water, regular and low-calorie enhanced waters, flavored water and essence water, examining sales, growth, share, distribution channels and more. Principal competitors are identified along with small, growing companies and their brands.

It includes analysis of leading brands' advertising expenditures, market drivers that will propel growth and five year market projections. It also discusses and quantifies niche water beverage segments (such as floral waters, weight management/ keto waters, wine waters, detox waters, plant waters, protein waters, fiber waters, spice (herbal) waters, probiotic waters, collagen (beauty) waters and rain waters) that are not included in value-added water market totals but are considered separately in a dedicated chapter providing details on each segment’s gallonage, wholesale dollar and retail dollar size, growth and market share.

These emerging and increasingly fragmented functional benefit or ingredient-based beverage segments are quantified and discussed and their growth prospects through 2028 are forecasted. The market forces driving innovation and blurring the lines between beverage segments as interest in premium quasi-water beverages continues is also discussed and analyzed.
