'Multiple characteristics account for bottled water's resonance with U.S. consumers, including its associations with healthfulness, convenience, safety, and value. An array of packaging types, ranging from single-serve to bulk, facilitates a wide range of uses,' says John G. Rodwan, Jr., BMC's editorial director.
"'Consumers' thirst for beverages that offer benefits beyond refreshment alone also contributed to the fundamental hydrating beverage's rise in the beverage standings. Bottled water's zero-calorie status and its lack of artificial ingredients appeal to many consumers. Even where tap water may be safe and readily available, people may prefer bottled water, which they often believe tastes better. The availability of packaged water wherever beverages are sold also differentiates bottled water from tap,' says Rodwan."
