Trends and dynamics in the Italian bottled water market: a changing landscape
In the Italian market, bottled water continues to exert a significant influence on consumers, with a strong preference for natural still water, which accounts for around 69% of consumption. Sparkling and naturally effervescent waters also maintain stable demand, contributing to the remainder of consumption. This trend is fuelled by ecological considerations, profitability and increased confidence in the quality of municipal water.
Regionally, Asia-Pacific reigns supreme in terms of sales, while European countries such as Italy are experiencing more moderate expansion due to market maturity. The Italian mineral water sector presents an idiosyncratic landscape, largely isolated from the grip of multinationals, with the exception of the significant presence of Nestlé-Sanpellegrino. Family businesses have historically nurtured and developed the Italian bottled water market, maintaining a solid distribution network from a multitude of springs and bottling plants spread across the country. Environmental concerns, combined with competitive pricing considerations, are the main challenges for market players. The environmental impact of plastic bottles has prompted innovations aimed at minimizing the industry's carbon footprint and reinforcing sustainable practices. Marketing pitches emphasizing the health benefits of bottled water also seek to justify the cost differential with cheaper tap water. The analysis reveals a broad distribution of consumption in Italy, with a marked concentration in the northwest, which accounts for around 29% of the total, closely followed by the southern region and central Italy, including Sardinia. The north-east, although close behind, accounts for a smaller share of around 18%. In particular, the islands and Umbria appear to be regions with significantly high per capita consumption rates.
As far as trade flows are concerned, Italy boasts a formidable export capacity, which has always outstripped imports, leading to a substantial trade surplus in the sector. The USA and France are the main export destinations, together accounting for around half of Italy's export portfolio. At national level, the macro-composition of bottled water consumed is largely dominated by mineral waters, which cover 97% of the market.

1 Market Summary
1.1 Definition and presentation
Bottled water is drinking water-natural or purified-packaged in plastic or glass bottles. There are different types of bottled water that differ in the amount of gases, residues, and minerals present.
The global bottled water market was valued at $283.01 billion in 2021 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 percent from 2022 to 2030. Asia-Pacific held the largest share of sales, at more than 40.0 percent in 2021, and is projected to register the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2030
European markets, such as Italy, are more mature and therefore experience lower growth. Bottled water, however, is benefiting from an image of quality and wholesomeness that ensures its popularity among the population
Italy is one of the few large countries where the mineral water sector is not dominated by large multinational beverage companies. With the exception of Nestlé-Sanpellegrino, the Italian competitive framework is dominated by family-controlled companies that have successfully worked to develop the market. The mineral water industry in Italy is well established throughout the country with an articulated presence of springs and bottling plants in all Italian regions.
Actors face two main obstacles: the environmental argument and that of pricing . Without recycling, bottled water has a considerable footprint on the environment due to its plastic container. Market actors therefore face increasing competition from the consumption of tap water, which is more ecologically responsible and much cheaper
Numerous innovations are therefore developed to reduce the carbon footprint of the bottled water company's activities, and promote its development. Marketing efforts to promote the nutritional qualities of these products are also constant and are intended to justify their higher price
