MARKET DYNAMICS

Market Drivers

Advancements in Water Self-Purification Technologies to Drive Market Growth

Hydration bottle manufacturers continuously design innovative self-purification and filtration technology-based products, including pitchers, cups, mugs, and water bottles. This uplifts the product supply rate in the bottle market and supports the product revenue growth globally. For instance, LARQ, a Brita Group-owned water filter products maker, consistently designs PureVis technology-based self-cleaning water bottles that clean water every 2 hours. Users can effectively monitor the product's water filtration activity status via the LARQ mobile application.

Rising Concerns of Waterborne Diseases to Augment Product Demand

Concerns about waterborne diseases, including diarrhea, typhoid, and others, and increasing awareness of water intake benefits with self-purifying bottles & pitchers drive the self-cleaning bottles market growth. According to the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), 9% of all the worldwide deaths among children aged under 5 years were associated with diarrhea disease in 2021. Besides, the instances of limited accessibility to drinking water increase the travelers' need to utilize self-purifying water bottles, supporting product sales growth globally.

Market Restraints

Higher Number of Households Installing In-house Water Purifiers to Limit Market Growth

More households are installing in-house water purifiers to fulfill their needs for clean water consumption, which limits the demand for self-cleaning water bottles across many countries. In addition, an increasing number of commercial facilities, including hospitality settings, restaurants, resorts, and spa clinics, installing water purifiers to serve purified water to their clients lowers the consumers' necessity of purchasing self-cleaning water bottles, restraining the global self-cleaning bottle market growth.

Market Opportunities

Rising Demand for Sustainably-made Reusable Bottles to Fuel Market Growth

Shifting eco-consumers' preference toward sustainably made reusable water bottles to avoid the single-use plastic generation from disposable products creates newer opportunities for the manufacturers to expand their business in the self-purification product category. In addition, manufacturers' adoption of sustainability measures in their manufacturing practices, including producing water tumblers sourced from eco-friendly materials, including glass, stainless steel, upcycled/recycled plastic, bamboo, and others, create newer market growth avenues.

Market Challenges

Higher R&D Investment Requirements to Limit Industry Players in Business Expansion Activities

The higher necessity of R&D investments to design and produce self-cleaning water bottles poses challenges to the industry manufacturers, thus limiting the global market growth. For instance, in September 2020, LARQ, a Brita Group-owned product maker, conducted a Series A round of USD 10 million in funding led by the Seventure investor to develop newer products and build manufacturing capacity across Europe.

Impact of COVID-19

During the initial waves of the coronavirus infection threat, restrictive governmental policies on outdoor travel significantly lowered the travel-friendly self-cleaning bottle sales across many countries. In addition, reduced consumer spending on non-essential goods hampered product sales worldwide. However, the increased importance of personal hygiene and clean water drinking elevated the product demand during multiple waves of the COVID-19 pandemic.
