ABSTRACT
Speed read Bottled water consumption rose in many poor countries during COVID-19 lockdowns Lack of access to safe drinking water a factor in the shift to bottles But countries reliant on tourism saw a decline in sales Families in some of the poorest parts of the world turned to buying bottled water as the pandemic sent countries into lockdown, with larger chunks of incomes being spent on drinking water, SciDev.Net analysis shows. Bottled water consumption has increased in the past two years as the number of production companies has increased, while outbreaks of the waterborne disease cholera, as well as COVID-19, have driven the need for safe drinking water. The extent to which communities trust their public or private water suppliers is one factor in the rise or fall of bottled water sales, say analysts.
