  • Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly Successful BLOMINVEST BANK
    BLOMINVEST The Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly Successful BANK December 02nd, 2016 Contact Information Research Analyst: Riwa Daou [email protected] Head of Research: Marwan Mikhael [email protected] Research Department Tel: +961 1 991 784 When you’re scrolling down the supermarket aisle looking for water to quench your thirst, you’re most likely going to pick up any water bottle off the shelves. After all, they’re all the same right? The reality is that each bottled water brand is different from the other. It’s needless to dwell on the difference between sparkling and still water but little is known about the variations between different brands of still water. In fact, each brand has a different PH, meaning that the acidity or the alkalinity of each brand varies. While all the brands may contain Calcium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Magnesium, Nitrate, Potassium, Silica, Sodium, Sulfates and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), each brand contains these elements in different proportions as shown in the figure below. Numerous other factors also set bottled water brands apart; the constancy of the water’s composition throughout the year, the source of the water and whether or not it undergoes modifications after it is collected. Based on this, we can group bottled water into four major types. The Bottled Water Market in Lebanon: Refreshingly S A L Successful Natural mineral water is obtained directly from underground sources protected from pollution risks. Its mineral composition stays constant throughout the year and is bottled at the source. The minerals contained in this type of water are claimed to have health benefits.
