According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Flavored and Functional Water Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019," the global flavored and functional water market was valued at USD 17.2 billion in 2012 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.5% from 2013 to 2019, to reach an estimated value of USD 36.7 billion in 2019.

Increasing obesity rate, rising aging population and changing consumer preferences are the major growth drivers for the global flavored and functional water market. Growing health concerns are restraining the masses from consuming carbonated or artificial flavored drinks and compelling them to opt for flavored and functional water. Flavored and functional water are generally priced similar to carbonated drinks, which reduces the switching costs for the consumers, thus increasing flavored and functional water attractiveness. Major growth challenges for the flavored and functional water industry include threat of substitutes and increasing campaign against packaging bottles.

Increasing urbanization has increased the awareness levels of the consumer regarding the products that help in their wellbeing.
