Market Driver - Increasing health consciousness among consumers leading to higher demand for bottled water
Rising consumer awareness about their health and hygiene can boost demand for pure and safe drinking water.

Busy professionals and students find it difficult to carry heavy bottles from home or restaurants. Demand for easily accessible purified drinking water can be efficiently met through water vending machines which are installed at several hotspots like railways stations, shopping malls, hospitals, and others. These machines offer still as well as flavored water options in BPA free reusable bottles of varying sizes suitable for single users as well as groups.
Presence of vending machines alleviates concerns around sanitary conditions during production and storage of bottled water. With growing awareness about health, importance of hydration and environment sustainability, there will be huge demand for purified dispensed water from vending points. Major brands Azkoyen Group, Bianchi Vending Group S.p.A., Canaletas, Celli Group, Culligan, etc. are also promoting their vended water offerings through innovative technologies and attractive packaging targeted at conscious urban consumers.
