Water
The Global Beverage
TAP INTO THIS MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY
Development of innovative, economical equipment
for small bottling operations has created business
opportunities for every region and community in
the world. Prior to 1993 the majority of water bottling
equipment available was suitable for large operations
in major metropolitan areas. That year a group of
entrepreneurs successfully launched a company, Norland
International, to manufacture bottling equipment suitable
for any size operation whether it is large or small. In fact,
a start-up water bottler can launch a business with 1) a
source of water (either municipal water or groundwater
from a spring or a well) and 2) a building that can be as
small as 1,500 square feet (139 square meters). Norland
International can supply all the equipment needed as well
as worldclass water bottling experience and expertise.
Norland can even direct you to financing sources.

Billions of consumers from every corner of the
earth have a thirst for bottled water. The amount
of water in the world is limited. Although water covers
about two-thirds of the Earth’s surface, most is too salty to
drink. In fact, less than .08% of the water on our planet
is available to humans. Today, a shortage of drinkable
water is a serious concern and over the next two
decades water use is expected to grow by about 40% !
Health concerns are driving bottled water
consumption higher. Bottled water has become
the leading beverage of choice for consumers who are
avoiding carbonation, sugar, alcohol and caffeine in their
beverages. Many people are afraid of drinking tap water
because there is certain risk of exposure to disease or
of consuming a toxic substance.
Over the last ten years, bottled water
consumption has grown by more than 200%,
outpacing all other beverage categories. Expert
industry analysts say the trends driving bottled water
sales will not only continue but will increase their
influence on consumer buying habits over time.
Worldwide sales of bottled water are predicted to top
$168 billion by 2012.
The growth potential for bottled water sales
worldwide is extraordinary. Consider that Mexico
leads the world in bottled water consumption. In 2008 the
average Mexican
citizen drank
more than 220 liters
of bottled water (a 42% increase in
five years), and the average for the top
twenty bottled water consuming countries was 120 liters,
but the annual average for all the countries in the world was
less than 30 liters per person. The business opportunities for
enterprising bottled water entrepreneurs are limitless.
