世界上一些最贫穷地区的家庭转向购买瓶装water作为大流行sent countries into lockdown, with larger chunks of incomes being spent on drinking water,scidev.netanalysis shows.

Lack of access to safe water or adequate infrastructure, coupled with health concerns, drove up sales of bottled water worldwide. However, nations with service-focused economies saw drops in plastic bottle sales, as tourists and office workers were forced to stay home.

根据市场研究组织提供的数据,从2019年到2020年,瓶装水生产增长了25.6%,在2020年至2021年之间又增长了24%Euromonitor International

“I need US$20 per month for bottled water, and my salary is only US$150,”

海琳Kenmegne-Siaka、通讯主任the Anonymous Society of Breweries From Cameroon, the parent company of the Cameroon Mineral Water Corporation, said there was a spike in demand for bottled water after lockdowns were announced, as households rushed to secure supplies.

Kenmegne-Siaka said new brands were entering the market each year and driving competition. “Concern about healthy consumption and taking care in this time of pandemic is probably an another factor,”她告诉scidev.net

beplay足球体育的微博专家警告说,瓶装水的增加可能导致塑料水平更高污染。Hellen Dena, from Greenpeace Africa, said that in urban areas, plastic bottles clogged waterways and caused flooding. “Plastic pollution is overflowing African landfills. Oceans and rivers are filled with plastic bottles,” she said.

In 2017, plastic bottles produced by drinks companies emerged as the most commonly found plastic in beach clean-ups, making them major sources of marine pollution, international oceans research and conservation groupOceana said in a report

However, many communities have no choice but to rely on bottled water.

In Yemen, the production of bottled water has nearly doubled, rising from 4 million litres in 2018 to 8 million litres in 2021, according to Khaled Sharaf El Din, a researcher at the Water and Environment Center at Sana’a University.

在过去的两年中,随着生产公司数量的增加,瓶装用水的消耗量增加了,而水源性疾病霍乱以及Covid-19的爆发却促使人们需要安全饮用水。

In Syria, water filtration plant owner Ahmed Al-Aslan toldscidev.net大流行推动了伊德利布瓶装水的销售。他说,在大流行之前,他每天售出约15,000升水,在19日爆发后,每天上升到20,000至25,000升之间。

Idlib resident Anwar al-Hassan said he was forced to buy 10 litres of bottled water a day for his family of five. “I need US$20 per month for bottled water, and my salary is only US$150,” he said.

Bottled water sales around the world

In Mexico City, bottled water sales increased 140 per cent in the first half of 2020, according to a study by the Metropolitan Autonomous University. Research lead Delia Contreras said that low-income households spent 15 per cent of their income on bottled water before the pandemic; this rose to 36 per cent after the outbreak of COVID-19, she said.

但this was accompanied by a shift in the sizes of bottles purchased. With convenience markets, bars and street vendors closed across Latin America and most people at home during lockdowns, fewer small bottles were purchased and more 10 litre and 20 litre containers were bought.

分析师说,社区信任其公共或私人水供应商的程度是瓶装水销售兴起或下降的一个因素。

“无论是作为私有财产还是作为实现人权的基本资源管理水的方式,都对人们在饮用水服务中的信任以及他们倾向于消耗水龙头或瓶装水的倾向,” Joaquín Deon, a geographer at Argentina’s University of Córdobatoldscidev.net

Asia Pacific is the world’s largest market for bottled water, due to lack of access to safe water as well as rising awareness of health and well-being, according to Euromonitor International.

该地区的一些国家saw reductions in bottled water sales in the early months of the pandemic. In India, bottled water saw dramatic declines in sales, as about half of water companies’ sales are made to offices and airlines, and the hotel, restaurant and catering sector, according to the Trade Promotion Council of India.

As companies such as Manila Water permanently closed during lockdowns in the Philippines, bottled water consumption rose by five per cent – to 2.8 million litres – when the government eased quarantine restrictions in 2021.

In its 2021World Water Development report联合国表示,亚太地区的人均水供应最低,该地区拥有全球60%的人口,但只有36%的水资源。

The international community has prioritised access to clean water and sanitation. Achieving global access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene in 140 low- and middle-income countries will require a total investment of US$1.7 trillion – or US$114 billion per year from 2016 to 2030 – the UN said, citing a World Bank report.
