Competitive Landscape & Porter's Five Forces

Flavored Water Market — Competitive Analysis

The global flavored water market is highly competitive with key industry players adopting various strategies such as product launches and acquisitions to strengthen their market positions. Most companies in the market are focused on expanding operations across regions, augmenting their capabilities, and building strong partner relations.

The growth of market players is dependent on market conditions, government support, and industry development. Thus, the vendors should focus on expanding geographically and improving product quality. PepsiCo. Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Nestlé S.A., Keurig Dr Pepper, Polar Beverages, Crystal Geyser Water Company, Danone S.A., Hint Inc., Kraft Foods, and Talking Rain Beverage Company are the major companies in this market, who compete based on market presence, quality, and price.

The key players are taking steps toward business expansions and market development, expanding their customer base. The international players may strengthen their presence worldwide through acquisitions during the review period. It has also been forecast that improvements in the global economic scenario and the growing flavored water industry in emerging nations would drive the market growth, making it an ideal time for players to launch new products and increase their global market shares.

The global flavored water market is highly lucrative due to the increasing popularity of the product among consumers. Shifting consumer preferences from carbonated soft drinks to drinks with low or no sugar content are driving the sales of flavored water. However, the global flavored water market is dominated by established players and new entrants need to invest heavily in creating a brand identity. The need for high initial capital and technical expertise further pose barriers to new entrants.

Hence, the threat of new entrants in the global flavored water market is expected to be moderate.

The major suppliers in the global flavored water market are flavoring and sweetener manufacturers. There are various suppliers present in the market offering flavors and additives. Thus, due to the presence of a number of raw material suppliers, manufacturers of flavored water are not dependent on a single supplier, which, in turn, reduces their operational risks and switching costs.

Hence, the bargaining power of suppliers in the global flavored water market is expected to be low.

The buyers are the major governing factor of the market. Buyer concentration is high for flavored water with limited brand loyalty exhibited by consumers. There are a number of flavored water brands available in the market, which increases product availability and reduces the switching cost for buyers. The limited product differentiation further affects the bargaining power of buyers.

Hence, the bargaining power of buyers in the global flavored water market is expected to be high.

The close substitutes for flavored water are packaged drinking water, low sugar content carbonated drinks, and juices, among others. The demand for flavored water is high in developed economies but the availability of the product is limited in developing and underdeveloped economies.

Hence, the threat of substitutes in the global flavored water market is expected to be high.

The global flavored water market is marked by a high degree of rivalry. There are prominent players in the market with fierce rivalry based on quality and price. Manufacturers invest heavily in product launches and are focused on reducing production costs to compete in the cutthroat market.

Hence, the intensity of rivalry in the global flavored water market is expected to be high.

Flavored Water Market — Key Findings

Analytical insights on Flavored Water Market covering market dynamics, competitive landscape, and strategic outlook.

Key Analytical Findings

The Flavored Water Market market is projected to reach $27.36B by 2025, growing at 7.7% CAGR. The Carbonated segment holds the largest share.

Market Dynamics

Flavored water is water infused with various flavors, especially fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The growth of the global flavored water market is driven by the growth of organized retail stores and rising health consciousness among consumers. However, the availability of various substitutes for flavored water is hampering the growth of the market. Product innovation and promotions and the rising demand for natural and clean-label beverages are expected to offer lucrative opportunities to market players in the coming years.

Market Drivers

Robust economic growth, the emergence of a large and prosperous middle class, and high rates of migration from rural to urban areas have led to the influx of international retailers across the globe and encouraged the establishment of new retail stores. Strong marketing strategies and widespread distribution channels have facilitated the easy availability of various products. With the strong performance of the retail sector, the sales of flavored water have been experiencing a surge. The product is distributed via various channels and is easily available in departmental, specialty, and convenience stores. Consumers tend to prefer departmental and specialty stores for the purchase of flavored water. These outlets offer the convenience of one-stop shopping. Technological advancements have also increased the sales of the product through e-commerce platforms. This has encouraged the expansion of existing retail outlets in developing countries, such as India, Brazil, and Russia. The Indian retail industry is emerging as one of the fast-paced industries owing to the entry of several new players in the market.

According to the India Brand Equity Foundation, the retail market in India is projected to expand from an estimated USD 672 billion in 2017 to USD 1,200 billion by 2021 with online retail expanding at 31% from 2017 to reach USD 32.70 billion in 2018. Moreover, foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in Indian retail trading was USD 1.66 billion between April 2000 and March 2019, as per the Department of Industrial Policies and Promotion (DIPP).

Market Opportunities

Product promotions play a crucial role in attracting consumer attention. Promotions on e-commerce and social media platforms have the potential to increase consumer awareness, directly affecting sales. E-commerce also acts as a strong distribution channel in the current market scenario. Manufacturers have also introduced various flavors and combination of flavors as per consumer requirement. For instance, the brand DASANI by The Coca-Cola Company was first introduced in four original flavors; in March 2018, a combination of different flavors including, berry, black cherry, Meyer lemon, lime, raspberry lemonade, tropical pineapple, watermelon, white peach, strawberry guava, blood orange, and pink grapefruit were introduced.

Furthermore, celebrity endorsements play a vital role in driving the sales of products, increasing recall and helping create brand loyalty.

Manufacturers are also focusing on effective packaging designs, which have a noticeable impact on consumer shopping behavior. Packaging plays a significant role in product marketing by delivering a sense of quality and reflecting the product’s brand image. Manufacturers focus on convenience packaging to attract consumer attention and help their product stand out on the retail shelf.

The adoption of strategic marketing campaigns and introduction of innovation in flavor and packaging offer the manufacturers of flavored water significant opportunities for growth during the review period.

Market Restraints

The availability of a wide variety of options for beverages, such as juices, smoothies, sports drinks, and soft drinks, is expected to restrain the growth of the global flavored water market to a certain extent. Consumers have several options when it comes to choosing beverages and manufacturers are introducing sugar-free and clean-label variants to tap into the latest trends in the market. Sports drinks with low sugar content are also high in mineral content and the demand for these products is rising among athletes and general consumers. Sports drinks help maintain electrolyte and fluid levels in the body, and thus are a close substitute for flavored water. Additionally, the demand for functional beverages is increasing as they provide additional benefits to the body and help protect from various diseases. According to Wantstats analysis, the global functional beverages market accounted for revenue of USD 90.1 billion in 2018 and is expected to register high growth in the years to come.

Strategic Outlook and Future Directions

Near-term growth will likely concentrate in modular bioreactor lines and closed-system media workflows that shorten validation cycles while preserving batch traceability.

Partnerships between CDMOs and instrumentation vendors should accelerate standard datasets for comparability across sites, improving forecasting models used in capacity planning.

Longer horizon, organoid and microphysiological adoption may reshape segment mix; teams that invest early in assay interoperability and cloud QC hooks are better positioned to capture upside without fragmenting their analytics stack.
