One of the most developed water cooler industries globally, Zenith' s report
reflects the battle between bottled water coolers and point of use coolers (POU)
in Israel.
Given the social and political climate in the surrounding region, it is not
surprising that the bottled water cooler and POU cooler industries have
flourished in Israel, since they were first introduced in the second half of the
1980s and early 1990s.
Since their introduction, the bottled water cooler and POU industries have
flourished in Israel thanks to a number of factors. The region' s arid and hot
climate meant that a source of chilled water was immediately appreciated.
Although generally considered safe for consumption, tap water is not widely
popular, an aversion which has been further exacerbated by the recent political
climate and an increasing air of insecurity in Israel and the surrounding
region. This in turn has supported the country' s cooler industry. Both bottled
coolers and POU offer convenience and trust to consumers, providing chilled
water without the need for a high frequency of purchases from retailers and
other small pack bottled water outlets.
