Health has become an increasingly influential factor in consumers' choice of soft drinks. Various health issues are influencing the dynamics of the soft drinks industry. Nowadays, consumers are looking for healthier alternatives to carbonated soft drinks and are gradually shifting from soda to bottled water. This shift is mainly driven by a change in consumers' preferences from high-sugar and unnatural drinks to healthier alternatives. Soft drinks, particularly carbonates, have been criticized for their high sugar content. The increasing demand for healthy soft drink options has resulted in a huge requirement for bottled water.

Furthermore, carbonated water can also lead to problems, such as digestive issues, weight gain, and heartburn. For the soft drinks industry, the growing issue of obesity is a major challenge.

Once associated with high-income countries, obesity is now also prevalent in low- and middle-income countries. The high consumption of sugar-rich soft drinks has contributed to this problem. Various bottled water companies are highly focused on offering flavored and functional water. These products are in high demand due to the growing concerns about rising obesity levels. Consumers are increasingly shifting toward low-calorie flavored water and functional water. Hence, a shift in demand from carbonated soft drinks to bottled water is driving the market substantially. The North America bottled water market is expected to grow at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
