The increase in demand for packaged drinking water in the Asia Pacific region has played a considerable role in the bottled water processing market. As a result of the growing demand for potable water, bottled water processing equipment manufacturers are opting for membrane filtration technologies, to eliminate unwanted elements from water and to enhance the quality and shelf-life of drinking bottled water. The water treatment equipment manufacturers are developing innovative technological solutions and systems to convert high salinity waters such as seawater and brackish waters to potable drinking water, as the demand for drinking water is increasing in water-short areas.
Asia Pacific is estimated to account for the largest market share in the bottled water processing market in 2018. The region is projected to offer huge growth potential to the bottled water processing market.
