RIYADH: The bottled water industry in Saudi Arabia is poised for future growth, supported by a rising population, rapid urbanization, and tourism expansion, experts told Arab News.

This ongoing momentum underscores the projections made by market research firm Imarc Group, which said that the Kingdom’s bottled water market size is projected to reach $5.5 billion by 2034, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate of 7.7 percent from 2026.

The outlook also reflects broader shifts in the nation’s economy under Vision 2030, with rising urbanization, tourism growth, and changing consumer preferences supporting demand.

Amid water scarcity and extreme climate conditions, the bottled water sector is emerging as a resilient growth segment driven by convenience and health trends.

Affirming this development, Al-Jouf Mineral Water Bottling Co., listed on Saudi Arabia’s parallel market Nomu, reported a net profit of SR4.36 million ($1.16 million) in 2025, representing a 51.87 percent rise compared to the previous year.
