The growing consumption of bottled water is anticipated to drive the expansion of the bottled water testing equipment market. Bottled water, either sourced from a unique location or treated to ensure high purity, is gaining popularity due to dissatisfaction with tap water taste and concerns about its safety. Bottled water testing equipment is used to ensure cleaner water and reduce contamination compared to regular water. For example, in May 2023, the International Bottled Water Association reported that bottled water reached a record sales volume of 15.9 billion gallons in 2022, surpassing carbonated soft drinks for the seventh consecutive year. Retail sales for bottled water approached $46 billion, a notable rise from $40.8 billion in 2021. As a result, the rising consumption of bottled water is expected to fuel the demand for bottled water testing equipment.

The bottled water testing equipment market is expected to experience growth propelled by stringent government regulations. Governments worldwide are imposing quality and safety standards on bottled water, fostering consumer confidence and health and safety. Compliance with these regulations necessitates continuous testing, driving innovation in testing technology and ensuring adherence to global standards. A notable example is the FDA's introduction of regulations on fluoride levels in bottled water, effective June 19, 2022, contributing to the growth of the bottled water testing equipment market.

Technological developments in water testing are emerging as a key trend in the bottled water testing equipment market. Major players are focusing on innovative technologies for water purification. For instance, in April 2022, Veolia Water Technologies launching The Barrel, an advanced reverse osmosis technology with plug-and-play functionality. This technology caters to wastewater treatment, desalination, and wastewater reuse, providing fresh and pure water for diverse applications. Technological advancements signify a commitment to staying at the forefront of water testing solutions, driving market growth.
