The report includes an in-depth analysis of the UAE Bottled Water Market, including market size and trends, product mix, distribution channels, and supplier analysis. Bottled water is drinking water that has been bottled, typically in glass or plastic bottles. They range in size from big carboys for water coolers to 250 ml single-serving bottles. A common substitute for tap water, which is typically obtained from a variety of sources including groundwater or a public water supply, is bottled water. The desire for flavored, functional, and fortified water is one of the factors propelling the bottled water industry in the United Arab Emirates. Due to the wide distribution channels of the functional water segment, which is expected to have a significant development spurt, many bottled water brands in the United Arab Emirates are looking for creative ways to propel the market.
- Agthia Group PJSC stated in May 2021 that it had strategically acquired Nabil Foods to broaden its product line, which now includes processed protein, bottled water, convenience foods, flour, and animal feed.
- In April 2020, the first Tetra Pak packaged drinking water in the area was released by the National Food Products Company (Oasis Pure Water) in a 330 ml pack. The manufacturer claims that the packaging is recyclable and fully biodegradable.
Market Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities: One of the main factors propelling the UAE bottled water industry is customers' growing health consciousness. Additionally, bottled mineral water promotes heart health and lowers blood pressure. The demand for bottled water is expected to rise as a result of these health advantages, particularly among the UAE's younger population. Additionally, bottled water is regulated by UAE Food Safety Authorities to protect consumer rights, which fuels the market's expansion. The market for fortified, functional, and flavored water in the United Arab Emirates is being driven by the expanding portfolio of functional water, which is enhanced with micronutrients, the addition of enticing tastes, and changes made at the packaging level to create its visual appeal. Furthermore, consumers' attention has recently turned from carbonated soft drinks to functional or fortified bottled water due to the country's growing obesity and diabetes rates. Strong category sales across a range of distribution channels and sales platforms are expected to significantly boost functional water.
Challenges: Multinational bottled water companies like Masafi, Nestle, PepsiCo., Mai Dubai, and others have made the UAE bottled water market extremely monopolistic, which in turn prevents new competitors from entering the market. Giants are the only companies controlling the market, thus they can set prices, which hurts customers. Furthermore, the UAE's bottled water industry monopoly restricts consumer choices, which hinders market expansion.
Market Competitive Landscape
In the United Arab Emirates, the market for bottled water is quite competitive. Leading companies in the industry include Agthia, Masafi, Oasis, Al Ghadeer Bottled Drinking Water, and PepsiCo. In order to increase their consumer base, major businesses are now concentrating on social media sites and online distribution channels for product branding and online marketing. The top companies in the market have a strong national presence. These companies concentrate on taking advantage of the chances presented by developing markets to broaden their product lines in order to meet the needs of different customers, particularly with regard to flavored and functional water.

COVID-19 Impact on UAE Bottled Water Market
Strict lockdown restrictions brought on by the abrupt COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a detrimental effect on the UAE's overall economic growth. The UAE's bottled water sector experienced a scarcity of supplies in its off-trade channels due to consumers' panic buying. This caused a massive disparity between supply and demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, which hurt the kingdom's whole bottled water sector. The UAE's bottled water market is expected to grow more slowly in the post-COVID-19 era due to supply chain constraints and a lack of workers in the production facilities.
