Abstract
An exclusive study produced in association with the Asia Bottled Water Association (ABWA), this
is the fourth Zenith Report on the Asia/Middle East Bottled Water Market.
Bottled water sales in the Asia/Middle East region have more than doubled in the past five years.
Growth has been spectacular in a number of countries, with bottled water fast becoming the norm for
in home and on the move hydration.
Both regions offer differing opportunities and challenges. Asian markets are often young and
emerging, with evolving distribution structures and a rapid influx of new players. There is also
great potential for sustained growth in countries such as India and Pakistan, which have large
populations but low bottled water penetration. The Middle East, though with some new emerging
markets, is generally characterised by a mature and well-established bottled water industry.
Zenith International reports offer you the most reliable market figures and in-depth analysis of
trends. This comes from a bottom up approach to the research process, and detailed discussions
undertaken with industry players.
