The European Bottled Waters Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) indicates significant variability across countries in 2024. Hungary leads with the highest year-on-year increase at 19.8%, followed by the Czech Republic and Austria. Western European nations like France, Switzerland, and Norway demonstrate much lower increases, notably under 4%. Portugal, Denmark, and Malta show minimal growth, suggesting price stability.
Future trends to watch include the impact of environmental policies on production costs and consumer behavior shifts towards sustainable packaging. The growing focus on health may drive demand, while economic uncertainties could temper pricing pressures.
