United States Enhanced Water Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Availability of a Wide Range of Products

Enhanced water has gained immense popularity in the US market not only for its health benefits but also for offering a wide range of flavored and colored water. The manufacturers offer various flavors such as lemon, lime, orange, tropical boost, blackcurrant, apple, raspberry, etc. Furthermore, enhanced water manufacturers in the U.S. are also focusing on adding USP to their products by using herbal ingredients such as milk thistle and other herbal extracts. For instance, VOSS Water recently launched VOSS+ which will feature three enhanced waters with berry essence taste and citrus fruit flavors.

Health Benefits Offered by Enhanced Water

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 9 out of 10 US adults do not consume enough fiber for a healthy diet. This is a direct consequence of modern lifestyles. Enhanced water is a good source of essential nutrients such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Enhanced water supplies sufficient amounts of electrolytes necessary for maintaining fluid balance, regulating blood pressure, and assisting the muscles to contract and relax. As a result of such health benefits, enhanced water is becoming increasingly popular.

Restraints

Availability of Alternative Sources of Nutrition and Potential Health Concerns

Enhanced water is preferred over regular water because of its health benefits and ability to fulfill nutritional needs in the body. However, there are already several alternative options to achieve this purpose. Many US citizens depend on supplements in addition to regular nutritional foods to gain significant amounts of vitamins and minerals. This factor acts as a major restricting factor for the growth of the enhanced water market in the US.

Additionally, some enhanced drinks are overly rich in certain nutrients. One study found that 46 drinks contained nutrient levels that were above the recommended daily requirement. Moreover, except for vitamin D, Americans don't lack vitamins, but overdosing on some vitamins can prove harmful.

Impact of COVID-19 on United States Enhanced Water Market

The unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a positive effect on the U.S. enhanced water market. The US was one of the worst COVID-19 affected countries in the world. The U.S. government had to impose a lockdown to curb the spread of the virus and citizens were requested to remain in quarantine. People were therefore at home during this period, and they had more time than ever before to spend on their physical and mental health. Due to this, the demand for the enhanced water also proliferated, propelling the overall market growth. Furthermore, the online channels helped maintain a smooth flow between supply and demand.

United States Enhanced Water Market - By Water Type

Based on water types, the U.S. enhanced water market is segmented into alkaline water, nutrient water, electrolyte water, and oxygenated water. Among these, the nutrient water segment accounts for the largest share in the U.S. enhanced water market. In order to maintain vitamin and mineral levels in their bodies, young and working adults prefer flavored water without sugar or sugar substitutes. However, the demand for alkaline water is also increasing at a high rate in the U.S. because of the health benefits it offers. Several studies suggested that alkaline water is very beneficial in optimizing the pH level in the body, which acts as a driving factor for this segment’s growth.

United States Enhanced Water Market - By Distribution Channel

Based on distribution channels, the U.S. enhanced water market is segmented into online and offline channels. The offline segment captures the largest market share as enhanced water is easily available in supermarkets/hypermarkets, convenience stores, drug stores, and chemist shops, etc. These outlets offer a wide range of products of different flavors, prices, and quantities. That is why the manufacturers are often dependent on offline channels for boosting the sale of their products. However, the online channels are also gaining significant traction, especially after the COVID-19 outbreak as consumers nowadays prefer purchasing things online instead of stepping out of their homes.

United States Enhanced Water Market - End Users

Based on end-users, the U.S. enhanced water market is segmented into commercial and residential. The residential segment accounts for the largest market share, fueled by the increasing health consciousness among consumers and prevalent health and fitness trends, especially among the younger demographic. Furthermore, the growing awareness of the negative impact of dehydration on human health and the increasing contaminant levels in potable water are also driving the demand for enhanced water among residential segments. The commercial segment, on the other hand, is also expected to grow at a high CAGR because of the growing demand for healthy and nutritious water in commercial spaces, such as offices, schools, universities, etc.
