Mineral Water Plant in Chennai | Packaged Drinking Water Plant in Chennai

Due to depleting water sources, deteriorating water quality and changing lifestyles, drinking water has long become one of the major issues in India. The concept of packaged drinking water and bottled mineral water in India started in the early 1980s.

Various research studies indicate that the market for packaged drinking water in India is estimated to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20% from 2018 to 2023. Growth of packaged drinking water in Chennai is expected to toe this national trend.

Key drivers for this growth are increasing health awareness, new-age contaminants found in water, unavailability of clean drinking water, growing per capita income, frequent travelling, lifestyle changes etc.

In Chennai, packaged drinking water is sold in different types of SKUs. Eg., Bottles, Cans and Pouches. While travelling, people prefer to drink bottled water, they use 20-litre water cans for home use, festivals, functions and get-togethers. Offices, Commercial Establishments, Small Hotels and Restaurants either use the 20-litre Water Cans or opt for installing water purifiers.

Overall, the demand for mineral water (or) packaged drinking water is growing by leaps and bounds in Chennai.

Though the terms Mineral Water Plant and Packaged Drinking Water Plant are interchangeably used in common parlance, there is technical difference. The term packaged drinking water is used for water that is drawn from borewells and processed using a Reverse Osmosis Plant to reduce the total dissolved solids to permissible limits.

Whereas, mineral water is a term used for spring water or mountain water with the right amount of total dissolved solids and treated only for the removal of physical and biological impurities. A majority of the plants belong to ‘Packaged Drinking Water’ category.
