The key vendors in the global bottled water packaging market include Amcor, Berry Plastics, Graham, Greif, Plastipak, and RPC. The market is highly fragmented owing to the presence of many well-diversified international, regional, and local suppliers. Several new vendors are emerging in the market, but they find it tough to compete with international vendors in terms of features, functions, and services. The competitive environment is expected to intensify with an increase in product extensions, innovations in technology, an increase in product extensions, and M&A.
