Background and report description

The global alternative waters market grew 21% in value in 2016, driven by a consumer shift away from carbonates and other high-sugar beverages towards natural and healthy hydration alternatives. Coconut is by far the dominant plant water type, commanding 98% of the market in 2015, followed by maple water and birch water which have more recently entered the mainstream market in some regions. The market for other alternative waters - such as cactus, bamboo and artichoke water - represent only a marginal share of total sales in 2015, usually produced in small scale operation, but is projected to more than double in size by 2020.
