This investment from Raya Holding will enable Drip Water to enhance its distribution and retail presence throughout the region, fostering strategic partnerships in sports, music, and events. 

As part of its growth strategy, Drip Water also plans to develop a state-of-the-art canning facility and a central distribution hub to strengthen its position as a leading mineral water supplier in the Middle East. 

Launched in October 2023, Drip Water offers a premium canned alternative to still and sparkling water, with a strong commitment to sustainability. By utilizing aluminium packaging, the brand significantly reduces energy consumption—up to 95% compared to traditional plastic bottles or cartons. The water undergoes natural filtration through chalk layers, enriching it with essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium sourced from deep within England's South Downs, ensuring superior hydration and wellness benefits. 

Currently valued at $125 million, Drip Water has experienced rapid growth since its inception and is now available nationwide in leading UK retailers. The brand is also set to launch in the United States in 2025.
