Australia Bottled Water Market 2025

A modest growth trajectory is forecasted for the Australia bottled water market, with an expected increase of USD 0.5 billion and a CAGR of roughly 4.4% from 2025 through 2030. Australia’s bottled water market has grown steadily, driven by a blend of health-centric consumer behavior and environmental anxieties associated with water scarcity and quality. While municipal water systems are generally safe and reliable, demand for packaged water continues to rise due to shifting perceptions around wellness and sustainability.

The first key driver stems from increasing health consciousness. Australian consumers, particularly in urban areas, have steadily migrated away from sugar-laden beverages toward healthier alternatives. Bottled water is perceived as a natural, calorie-free option that aligns with broader lifestyle trends centered on hydration, wellness, and fitness. Marketing campaigns have emphasized purity, mineral content, and pH balance, with high-value segments such as still mineral water and functional water formats outperforming traditional carbonated soft drinks. Notably, demand surges during warmer months and in regions facing heatwaves or bushfire risk, where hydration needs spike and public water quality may be temporarily compromised.

The second driver is tied to growing environmental sensitivities. Australia’s experience with prolonged droughts and water restrictions has led to heightened public awareness regarding water conservation and infrastructure limitations. In rural and regional communities, concerns about groundwater contamination from mining and agriculture have fueled preference for bottled alternatives deemed cleaner or more rigorously tested. Moreover, consumers are increasingly favoring brands that invest in sustainable packaging and carbon neutrality. Initiatives such as container deposit schemes in most states and the expansion of biodegradable or recycled PET packaging options are influencing purchasing decisions, especially among environmentally conscious younger consumers.
