Recently released market study: Bottled Water in Thailand

Due to the fact that public supply water in Thailand is undrinkable, every household needs to seek safe water and therefore bottled water is one of the most necessary commodities. In the past, Thai people used to drink rainwater. They would collect rainwater in a big tank and then boil before they drink. With consumers' lives becoming busier, they have switched to buying bottled water, which is more convenient. This is the main factor behind bottled water's continual popularity in Thailand. In addition, good growth will depend on the weather as well, as when the weather is hotter consumers tend to buy more drinks to dehydrate themselves.

Competitive Landscape

Boon Rawd Brewery Co Ltd ranked first in bottled water in 2012 with 21% in retail volume terms. The company has two main products in the category; Singha in still bottled water and B-ing in functional bottled water. The strongest feature of Singha is its distribution and product line.

Furthermore, B-ing actively engages consumers with marketing activities and brand advertisements which allow both brands to be among the leading brands.
