Maple water, which is also known as ‘sap,’ is a clear liquid that flows for a very short
period during the spring season from maple trees. It is considered to be an alternative
to sports drinks since it is rich in nutrients, electrolytes, phytochemicals, and 46 other
bio compounds that help in hydration. It also contains half the number of calories
than coconut water and can be added to several recipes. It is used in the preparation
of coffee or tea as well as in other dishes to poach meat. Further, it is used to make
sauces, ice, as a sweetener in smoothies and to quench thirst. Maple water is GMO,
gluten, and dairy-free.

• Flavored: The organic maple water is combined with some natural flavors like lemon,
ginger, raspberry, grapefruit, blackberry, and orange to enhance the taste and sweeteners
without adding preservatives and gluten.
• Unflavored: It is the 100% purest form of maple water without any added flavors,
enhancers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and is rich in nutrients and low in calories.
• Sparkling: They are a special category of maple water that is carbonated without
compromising on the nutrients and supplements of the maple water. They can be either
unflavored or flavored like blackberry, raspberry, orange, and lemon.
• Non-sparkling: They are non-carbonated maple water and is the widest form of the
product sold across the globe. They can also be either flavored or unflavored.
• Pet bottles: The maple water is produced and stored in pet bottles. It is one of the
convenient modes of packaging that is beneficial for most end-users to consume. The most
common pet bottles can accommodate 355 ml or 12 FL Oz.
• Paper boards: It is the most common mode of packaging for maple water. The paper
boards can usually hold maple water ranging from 330 ml, 500 ml, to a liter. They are an
eco-friendly, biodegradable, and cost-efficient way of packing techniques.
• Others: Other few methods involve packaging through cans and glasses. The cans are
usually preferred for the sparkling category, and glass bottles are used to promote the
quality and marketing of the product.

The chart above shows the approach adopted to arrive at the market size of the global
maple water market in 2019 and the segments that are considered to derive the
market value.
• Market size figures are primarily arrived through the bottom-up approach and are then
validated through the top-down approach
• Sales of major maple water providers were aggregated to arrive at an estimate of the
market size in terms of volume. The same approach was used to calculate the market size
in terms of revenue. An estimated 85–90% of vendors’ capacities are mapped and
considered in the report calculations
• Segmental volumes were calculated through the bottom approach, which involves the
analysis of segment-wise financials of the key market players. The data is either derived
from their annual filings or through primary research in the absence of the former
• Price trends for key related commodities were analyzed for the past few years and given
due consideration to derive the projections for the forthcoming six years using a set of
forecasting techniques
• Also, innovation and R&D efforts of several market players were studied and weighed in
before arriving at the projections as they can potentially disrupt the market both in terms
of consumption and purchasing patterns
• The effect of several macroeconomic and meso factors is also considered at each interval
while arriving at the forecast

Preference for Organic Drinks
Maple water, despite being harmless, is also rich in nutrients and vitamins. The
natural electrolytes present in the drinks can be a vital hydrating and rejuvenating
agent for the end users. It is mainly preferred as an alternative to packaged drinks and
beverages, including carbonated drinks like Coke and Pepsi. Due to the growing
impact of the vegan population, the demand for organic beverages is boosted further.

7.1 OVERVIEW
With the growing awareness of risks associated with the consumption of alcoholic
and soda-based beverages, the focus has shifted towards non-alcoholic and plant-
based beverages among health-conscious consumers across the globe. The plant-
based waters are derived
from plants without the Maple Water is expected to

based water that has a wide market across countries, there has been a rise in the
market for alternative waters like cactus, maple, aloe vera, and watermelon waters.

In recent days, consumers are shifting from sugary sodas to flavored sparkling
water, which is consumed in offices, homes, and other commercial areas. Even
sparkling water with added flavors like mango, orange, and cranberry can be seen as
a healthy alternative for conventional health drinks. With the world moving towards
the trend of low calorie, alternative waters, maple water is the emerging competitor
for the dominant coconut water in this segment. It also contains half the calories as
that of coconut water with 46 bioactive compounds. Maple water, which is a pure sap
obtained from tapping maple trees during the spring season, has many important
nutrients and electrolytes. It is also the main ingredient to make the syrup, where
more than 40 gallons of sap are boiled to produce 1 gallon of syrup. Hence, it is
economically beneficial for farmers to rely more on the maple water obtained from
the trees than boiling the same for syrup.

• Sweetener
Since there is very little awareness about maple water in most of the developing
countries that do not have maple trees, the major challenge for companies lies in
educating consumers regarding its benefits since most of them confuse maple water
with the concept of maple syrup. The maple water is produced in countries such as
Canada and the US in the states of New York, Vermont, and a few others. Although
maple trees are native to most of the Americans, it has also been celebrated as a kind
of medicinal beverage in countries like Korea and Russia for hundreds of years. While
the farmers and the people of Korea refer to the male as ‘Gorosoe,’ they also consume
gallons of maple water as a ritual and tradition. In some parts of Russia and Ukraine,
the farmers directly tap water from maple trees and consume them as a source of
natural vitamin water.
Scalability is one of the key issues that most companies in this market might face
during the forecast period. Since the category is new to the market, the future
forecasts for maple water are not certain, other than catering to the demands of
dynamic consumer behavior. There is also a narrow window of opportunity to collect
the water in unpredictable seasons. The supply chain and logistics maintenance
should be highly skilled in meeting the uneven demand-supply scenarios.

Packaged maple water can have a shelf life of more than 18 months; some
brands are labeled organic, gluten-free, GMO-free, and other certifications from
authorities like the USDA and NAPSI. It is predominantly sold in eco-friendly and
sustainable tetra packs and other forms of paper boards, followed by pet bottles and
cans. The sparkling drinks that are flavored and unflavored are sold in tightly sealed
cans to enhance their on-the-go functionality and form a very small segment of the
total sales. The most commonly sold forms of sizes include 330 ml, 500 ml, and 1
liter.
With the preference for sparkling and flavored drinks gaining momentum across the
globe, a similar trend can be followed in the case of maple water as well. Since most
of the people are experimental and have a thirst for variety and flavors, adding natural
flavors to the maple water can act as a differentiator in
“It is a marathon,
the market. While most of the players are offering
not a sprint” –
CEO of Vertical flavored drinks, few players like Drink Simple, Tretap,
Water and Sap Sucker are offering sparkling drinks along with
flavored ones. This is considered as a first-mover advantage that can help vendors
gain an edge over the competition.
The distribution channel is the ultimate enhancer of sales, and the decision on the
mode of sales channels by the players is the driving factor for success. With the rise
of discounters in most of the European countries like France, Germany,
Italy, the most preferred mode will be discounters for product promotion and
placement during the forecast period, while supermarkets and hypermarkets
are the major sources of sales due to a large number of shoppers in the
region. With the penetration of the internet, online sales and e-commerce can
promote sales of products like maple water during the forecast period.
With the production of maple water being concentrated in Quebec, there are many
players emerging in this region. On the other hand, there are no such dominant
players in countries other than the US, Canada, and a few European countries that
have maple trees. With the growth of awareness about maple sap and its demand,
there is a huge potential for players in these regions to export their products to other
countries. With the huge production sources, the North American region is the
world’s largest producer and consumer of maple water, followed by Europe and
APAC.
They mostly comprise millennials and generation Z consumers who are considered
as the early adopters of the drink. In regions like MEA and Latin America, the product
is yet to gain popularity and awareness, whereas in countries like the UAE that has a
large number of expats can drive the market during the forecast period.
Some of the major players include Vertical Water, Oviva, Maple3, Happy Tree, Drink
Maple, Wahta, Necta, Sap Sucker, and Kiki. Since the market is fragmented to a
certain extent, the intensity of the competition remains intact. The players can focus
on the expansion and distribution methodology to outplay the competition. With the
growing consumer preference towards alternative waters, the future of maple water
can be as bright as the coconut water with a higher adoption rate by the health-
conscious consumers.

People across the world are more concerned about their health and nutritious lifestyle
since they are prone to more hazards and health issues following the consumption of
packaged drinks, which are generally processed with a lot of preservatives and
adulteration. This kind of unethical practices is done to enhance sales through the
modification of flavor, color, packaging, and ingredients. The packaging of sugary
drinks has gradually paved the way for more healthy and organic drinks like coconut
water. Organic drinks are natural drinks that do not contain any artificial chemicals
or preservatives. They are also free from all kinds of harmful artificial sweeteners.
These drinks are harmless and rich in vital nutrients and vitamins. The natural
electrolytes present in the drinks can be a vital hydrating and rejuvenating agent for
the end-users. It is mainly preferred as an alternative for packaged drinks and
beverages, including carbonated drinks like Coke and Pepsi. Due to the growing
impact of the vegan population, the demand for organic beverages is gaining
momentum in recent years. While most of the people are shifting towards a vegan
lifestyle, their major diet preference will include organic foods and beverages, where
maple water is considered to be a growing segment of organic drinks.

The beverages market, which was earlier dominated by sodas, is slowly being replaced
with healthy alternatives like organic juices and beverages. In the US, it is estimated
that more than 62% of the consumers are willing to switch to natural drinks with
added vitamins, proteins, antioxidants, and other add-ons for a healthy lifestyle. In
recent years, almost all the common beverages, including tea, coffee, milk, and
alcohol, have been made organic by most of the players either by adding a new
product line or modifying the existing ones.
In order to sustain themselves in the competitive market, the global leader in the
carbonated drinks segment, Coca Cola, has acquired a stake in Suja Juice and Hain
Celestial and branded them as organic ones. Even brands like Honest Kids and Juicy
Juice Organic are highlighting their natural organic characteristics to attract mothers
who are against the addition of artificial sugars and favor natural ingredients in
children’s food. PepsiCo launched USDA-certified varieties of its popular brand
Gatorade called G Organic. Michelob Ultra-Pure Gold by Michelob Ultra is made up
of pure grains, which is considered as a major product line addition. Some of the
retailers like Kroger and Whole Foods have launched their private label brands with
a lower price point to challenge the organic players in the market. Similarly, natural
and organic drinks like maple water, despite being gluten-free, are also NAPSI-
certified with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and USDA (United States
Department of Agriculture) labels.
With the growth and strong positive impact of organic drinks and beverages, maple
water, which is considered to be the emerging organic alternative for heath drinks
and coconut water, can witness high growth and market penetration during the
forecast period.

Every day, more people are turning health-conscious than ever before due to the
rising awareness of the advantages of sustaining a healthy lifestyle and a well-
balanced diet. Every individual, irrespective of the demography, age, or gender,
wishes to pursue a wellness-oriented lifestyle and they prefer to give extra attention
to products that determine their fitness, nutrition level, and lifestyle.
The young population of today’s global consumer segment is the most concerned
people who are willing to spend more on expensive premium products like organic
food and beverages for their natural benefits on healthy well-being. The millennials
are determined to be the forerunners that are driving the usage of premium food
products. The aging baby boomers who are in their retirement stage are willing to
improve their quality of life by consuming more health-conscious food without any
adverse effects on their health to improve their longevity and independence. Their
increased education levels and financial status can promote the purchasing power of
these products.

The growth of people pursuing wellness and fitness activities have also contributed
to the growth of health-conscious diet since their major preference is towards natural,
healthy foods and beverages and do not favor adulterated foods. This can also drive
the market for organic foods and beverages like maple water. The impact of vegan
and vegetarian diets is booming; India is said to have more than 45% of the people
following vegetarian diets and 16% vegan diets. It is also estimated that gluten-free
diets are more popular in India, followed by the Philippines and Mexico. This can lead
to a higher production of organic product lines like maple water in the retail stores in
these countries.
Moreover, the rising health issues related to obesity, cholesterol, and high blood
pressure are making more than 64% of the global consumers to follow a specific
restricted diet, excluding the consumption of certain ingredients and contents to
which they are allergic. With the onset of 1.9 million new diabetic patients every year
in the US, high-sugar foods are avoided to a greater extent. There are also people in
Africa, the Middle East, and APAC regions who are limited to certain foods and diets
due to their religious and cultural sentiments. This shows that people are maintaining
their diet to sustain proper health and well-being.
People are adopting new diets and types of food due to the influence of articles,
magazines, and social media, which highlights the impact of being more health-
conscious. The gen Z, who are considered to be the most pro-active members and
participants of health and well-being programs, is the major group that refers to
online websites for health and wellness tips.
While most of the population in the European and North American countries are
pursuing a health-conscious diet, the awareness and advantages are yet to be
communicated in countries in the Latin American and African regions, to enable
them to pursue a healthier lifestyle. The preference of health-conscious people will be
for gluten-free and energy-enhancing products with natural vitamins and nutrients
that can enhance the growth of organic food and beverages like maple water in the
market.

In recent years, the beverage industry has witnessed the growth of the alternative
water segment. This growth can be supported by the rising consumer interest towards
healthy alternatives like mineral water apart from sodas. With the growth in
popularity of coconut water across the globe, the market is favorable to the growth of
birch water, maple water, aloe water, cactus water, bamboo water, and watermelon
water.
Coconut water is leading the alternative water market for years, and this trend is
expected to continue during the forecast period. Coconuts are native to countries such
as the Philippines and have a large market in North and South America. Coconut
water alone accounted for more than 96% share of the global alternative water market
or about 830 million liters worth $2.7 billion in 2016. This is due to the widespread
awareness and potential for coconut water that can be packaged.
With the growing popularity of coconut water in the UK, the market for the same was
worth $111 million in 2016 and has grown 20-fold since 2012. Some of the substitutes
for coconut water include birch water, which has high manganese, potassium,
Vitamin C, and calcium. Based on the response towards coconut water and the
increasing popularity of consumers for natural waters, Tapped, a London-based
company, introduced birch water in the market with an innovative product.
Cactus water is fast gaining popularity in the MEA region and the Americas and also
recently in the UK, with the penetration of brands like True Nopal in supermarkets.
True Nopal is one of the top manufacturers of cactus water. It is rich in antioxidants
and helpful in tissue repair and post-gym workout sessions. It is also expected that
the market growth of watermelon and cactus water will double by 2020 compared to
2017. Each of the alternative waters is packed in eco-friendly tetra packs of 330 ml,
500 ml, and 1-liter packs accordingly. This convenient on-the-go packaging can
further drive the growth of these alternative waters, especially maple water, along
with the dominant coconut water. Thus, the consumer preference for an alternative,
healthy, and natural waters is a major driver that can boost the impact and growth of
maple waters.

The current climatic conditions are a major threat to the production of maple water.
Maple water being more sustainable than maple syrup is a recent trend in the
commercial segment. The maple trees can produce only three gallons of sap every
year. This is further stretched by the local farmers in its raw form to enhance
productivity. The maple water has to be processed and filtered to get rid of bacteria
and bugs. They also have a shelf life of more than one year.
Due to the unstable weather conditions, the conditions of maple trees can get worse
in the coming years. Also, it is estimated that fewer freeze-thaw cycles during the late
winter and early spring also can halt the production of sap water. The alternating
freezing and thawing cycles predominantly control the flow of sap water in late
winter. This is also aided by snowpacks, by which the maple trees protect their roots
from freezing. This means that lesser snow can affect the strength of the maple trees.
The climate change can also give rise to insect infestations, which pose a threat to the
maple sap production.

It is also estimated that the long-term impact of climate change can potentially
migrate the forests towards the northern part of the US. It is generally estimated that
the sap collection advances for every 4.3 days for every 1 0 Celsius in the previous
May−October mean temperature. The impact of climate change can affect the timing
and length of the tapping season from the maple trees. It can also determine the
quality and quantity of the maple sap to a considerable extent.
Accordingly, the CEO of a global leader in maple water production, Vertical Water,
Valentina Cugnasca, has also stood by this point. According to the CEO, there is no
such stable tapping season for the maple sap from trees. It could happen roughly
during January−April based on the effect of topography and climate. This adds to the
entry barriers and forms a complex business model. Also, the business needs more
operational strength and distribution channels.
Moreover, maple water is gaining popularity due to its natural sugar content from the
trees. The maple sap is composed of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) and starches
that are stored in the wood. The NSC is balanced through the process of
photosynthesis and some of the metabolic processes that include growth and
reproduction. The fact is that both the process of photosynthesis and metabolism are
influenced by the external temperature across seasons. Thus, ultimately, the climate
and temperature are the major determining factors for the sweetness of the maple
sap, which is the major reason for its preference in the market.
Due to the impact of climate on maple water production, various regions are expected
to witness different sap production rates in the coming years. For instance, in the US,
the tapping seasons might shift 2−3 weeks earlier in the coming years due to the
impact of climatic change, which might result in lower sugar content in the maple
water.

Numerous efforts are being taken to raise the awareness of male water, which is
similar in composition to coconut water. Moreover, the increasing innovations in new
product categories are prompting maple water producers to focus on increasing the
awareness levels among consumers, since many are not aware of the existence of the
product.
“Most of the consumers across the globe are unaware of the naturally refreshing taste
that comes from maple trees.” says the CEO of Vertical Water, Valentina Cugnasca.
Thus, to increase the penetration levels, it is mandatory to improve consumer
awareness about the natural benefits that the product offers. This will also enable
consumers to consider it as a substitute for coconut water and as a healthy alternative
to most of the available conventional health drinks in the market. Since it is packaged
in affordable, convenient cans and pet bottles and easily available in the retail outlets,
it can further boost the sales of the product.

Most of the people are aware of maple syrup rather than maple water or the sap,
although the sap is estimated to be the most sustainable commercial product in the
market. Since most of the people are unaware of the fact that maple water is a result
of flowing water from maple trees, the concept might seem a little weird to them.
Thus, efforts must be taken to consider the maple tree as a source of great, refreshing
natural water. This lies in the hands of the producers and can be done by highlighting
the unique advantages of consuming maple water through advertisements. Since they
are also used as additional sweeteners and in the preparation of pancakes, it is
important to communicate the benefits to the baking industry. Some of the major
players are adopting brand ambassadors like fitness and health specialists for
promotion and awareness since it is a competitor to health drinks.
The growing market for maple water is concentrated in North America, especially in
the Canadian region due to the Quebec forests, followed by the US. Europe is
considered to be a potential market in recent years. Other than these regions, the
APAC, MEA, and Latin American regions do not have many manufacturing facilities
due to the limitation of the maple trees. This leads to poor awareness levels among
consumers about maple water. With the increasing health concerns, rising disposable
income of growing economies, and preference for natural, healthy alternatives, these
markets can witness considerable growth by major players entering these markets.
This can substantially increase awareness about the benefits of the product among
people who are outside of the North American and European regions.

Although maple water is considered as a healthy alternative drink for most of the
health drinks and carbonated waters available in the market, it is not the only one.
While maple water is begun to gain popularity over the past 3−4 years, most of the
global consumers are unaware of it as there are traditional alternatives with similar
attributes. This can range from packaged drinks like coconut water, mineral water,
flavored sparkling water, or even packaged iced tea.
Coconut water is the most common and popular natural energy drink that is
composed of potassium and electrolytes, which accounts for a 98% share of the
alternative healthy drinks segment in countries like India. Coconut water has been
branded and sold in various supermarkets and hypermarkets, making the
distribution channels more intense across the globe. Due to the evident data and
proven benefits from the consumption of coconut water, it can be a major competitor
for the emerging maple water segment.
Similar to maple water, there is considerable growth in the sparkling water segment.
This can be due to the craze of consumers for carbonated and fizzy drinks with low
sugar content. In order to penetrate deeper according to individual preferences,
various flavors have been added to the sparkling water that is increasingly consumed
in recent years. Along with these segments, the packaged mineral water can be the
major threat since it is fortified with essential minerals like magnesium sulfate,
calcium, and sodium sulfate at optimum levels based on the brand. It is widely
available from the simple grocery stores to specialty stores.
The price factor is the major criterion that are posting segregation between the
expensive maple water and the cheaply available alternatives. For instance, the
average price of a one-liter pack of maple water ranges from $7.5−10, whereas the
price of packaged mineral water is $1−2 per liter, making a huge difference in price
points. Hence, consumers tend to opt for lower-priced alternatives than the expensive
maple water with little awareness of its benefits. Thus, along with the awareness
issue, price points and a threat from substitutes are some other factors that are posing
challenges to the growth of the global maple water market.

The craze for the carbonated water and flavored drinks have dominated the market
and is a ‘must’ factor to capture market share in either the organic or non-organic
drinks categories. The changing consumer behavior and demand for fizzy drinks are
the reasons for the boom in carbonated water over the last decade. It is found that
people in the US are willing to spend more on carbonated and flavored water drinks,
including seltzers. It is also estimated that the retail sales of carbonated water have
jumped 88% over the last six years, reaching revenue of $2.3 billion in 2018. Also,
flavored water witnessed a growth of 72%, accounting for revenue of about $3 billion
in 2018.

It is estimated that the sparkling water market has been growing in the US, clocking
revenue of $2.2 billion in 2017−2018. It is also seen that the category has grown by
more than 54% over the past four years in the country. One of the major reasons for
the growth in sparkling water can be due to its packaging in attractive cans, which
accounted for revenue of more than $0.8 billion. Even Canadians are spending 21%
more than the Americans in terms of sparkling beverages in recent years.
Despite the competition with natural fruit drinks, the rising health-conscious factor
among people has enabled the growth of carbonated and fizzy drinks in the low-
calorie and sugar-free segments like ‘Diet Coke’ and ‘Coca Cola Zero.’ The high
incidence of obesity is also another major driver for the growth of both flavored and
unflavored sparkling drinks. Owing to the demand aspects, most of the restaurant
chains in the US and other European countries are making efforts to deliver more
sparkling drinks for their consumers. This can be a new distribution channel for
products like sparkling maple water.
Other than diet, climate, and population, lifestyle may also be considered as the major
enabler for the growth of sparkling and flavored drinks. The changing consumer
behavior and lifestyle are the major reasons for the growth of this segment in the MEA
and APAC regions. The youth population is the major consumer for sparkling water
and is attracted by innovative packaging techniques like cans, glass, and pet bottles
that offer better design and improve convenience. They are also more health-
conscious owing to their gym and fitness sessions that force them to look for low-
calorie and zero-preservative sparkling drinks.
Owing to the demand for flavored and sparkling drinks, organic maple water
manufacturer Drink Simple has innovated sparkling maple water in various flavors
such as blueberry, orange, lemon, and raspberry in tin cans. Even Sap Sucker, an
Ontario-based maple water producer, has a product line for sparkling lime and lemon
flavors in cans to enhance market sales. It helps in better penetration of the maple
water segment in the market.

The present-day consumers are more informative, and they are doing a lot of research
before buying any product due to the abundant sources. They are also paying more
attention to what they buy, particularly in terms of food and beverages, than ever
before. This can be due to the strong impact of health-consciousness among the
population across the world.
The shoppers are restricted to more purchase criteria and decisions due to their
health issues and nutritional requirements. There are no similar shopping patterns
between two individuals, but it is obvious that regardless of the taste and preferences,
all require a healthy diet and supplements. Most of the people need chemical-free,
preservative-free, and gluten-free foods and beverages that are harmless with high
nutritional content in them. This demand has prompted manufacturers to obtain
certifications from major authorities and regulations. They are also willing to buy
more products from producers that follow fair trade practices, enhancing
sustainability and eco-friendlier in nature.
Source: Arizton
Also, it is estimated that 39% of the consumers in the US are willing to buy products
that provide clear information rather than products with no description and labels.
This factor is growing globally, giving rise to the importance of clean labels in
beverages. The demands the printing of clean labels in beverage packaging by
manufacturers since more than 53% of US consumers are more concerned about the
absence of harmful ingredients rather than the presence of more beneficial
ingredients in the beverage segment, which also applies to the organic drinks like
maple water.

In Chile, the government has passed labeling regulations that require manufacturers
to attach warning labels if it has excessive content of sugar, calorie, salt, and fat. This
might encourage consumers to make more informed buying decisions. In Europe, the
preference for GMO-free products is higher 47% when compared to the rest of the
world at 43%. This can be vital proof for the growth in sales of gluten-free products
like maple water in the region.
The food and beverage industry is shifting towards more transparency by using labels
like ‘Gluten-free,’ ‘Natural,’ ‘Organic,’ which inculcates trust in the minds of
consumers, and it can promote the customer satisfaction level. It is also evident that
beverages with organic labels witnessed a rise of 10% in 2017 when compared with
the previous year in the US, especially beverages with labels such as ‘antioxidants and
free of artificial sweeteners’ witnessed a dollar growth of 3.3% in 2017. The presence
of labels that included sugar was not preferred, and labels such as ‘sugar-free’ and
‘low calorie’ helped increase sales.
Owing to the requirements and current trend, maple water producers also have some
mandatory labels like ‘organic,’ ‘gluten-free,’ ‘dairy-free’ and ‘vegan’ to prove its
sustainability. Authorities also regulate them like the FDA and USDA that establish
the benchmark for such producers. Accordingly, the Co-founder of Drink Maple, a
leading maple water brand Weiler, says, “Nothing is cleaner than our ingredient
label,” highlighting the importance of labeling the maple water.

Apart from the impact of clean labels, consumer satisfaction is greatly dependent on
the model and material of the maple water packaging. Since the product is in the
growth stage of the product lifecycle and most of the people are unaware of its
benefits, responsible packaging and ethical manufacturing process are needed along
with the marking of clean labels to ensure market growth. Also, efforts should be
made to maintain the sustainability criteria right from the beginning of tapping sap
to the filling of maple water in the respective packages.
Maple water, being plant-based water, can pose a hazard to the ecosystem through
the manufacturing and tapping process. Thus, tapping the maple water without
disturbing the environment seems to be a challenging one. The eco-friendly approach
by companies in deriving maple water from trees can greatly help them in
productivity and end-consumer sales. This can enhance consumer satisfaction since
the water is obtained in the most appropriate and natural way possible.

Moreover, customers around the globe need a more comfortable and sophisticated
mode that will save their time. To meet this demand, major players in this segment
are offering the product in eco-friendly tetra packs and carton boxes that are useful
for on-the-go purposes. Through this technique, manufacturers are proving
themselves as sustainable and innovative players in the market.
In accordance with this, Drink Maple, one of the leading maple water brands from
Canada, has joined SIG, a leading packaging solutions provider that delivers foods
and beverages in the most sustainable way possible and is headquartered in
Switzerland. Partnering with SIG, Drink Maple is delivering its products through
carton packs that are made from natural pulp from trees that are approved by Forest
Stewardship Council (FSC) and they are recyclable. Carton packs have a high content
of renewable raw material that makes them superior to other modes of packaging. By
avoiding plastics in their packaging methods, Drink Maple proves to be one of the
forerunners among socially responsible brands along with satisfying the consumer
preferences since they deliver around 75% of the maple water produced through
paper board packaging.
While more than 50% of the major players like Oviva, Maple3, Drink Maple, Seva,
and Necta offer maple water in carton packs and paper boards. Few more brands
prefer cans and pet bottles, which can offer convenience but not sustainability. Since
responsible packaging and sustainability also determines the success in the food and
beverage market, steps can be taken by other major brands like Sap Sucker and
Antiplus to switch the focus towards paper boards for ensuring eco-friendliness.
The global maple water market is witnessing steady growth in recent years and can
be segregated by category, segment, mode of packaging, and method of distribution.
While the unflavored drinks accounted for a major proportion of sales, more players
are entering the untapped sparkling maple water segment and promoting the product
in new markets. Maple water is widely consumed by the health-conscious population
that is the target consumers and involves more of sports and fitness enthusiasts.

The global maple water market generated a revenue of $509.75 million in 2019 and
is expected to reach $2,177.79 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 27.38%
during the forecast period. The market is growing at a healthy rate mainly due to the
preference for organic and healthy waters, the impact of clean labels on consumer
buying behavior, and the growing concern towards ethical and sustainable
production processes. The increasing disposable income among consumers is
encouraging them to be more judgmental in choosing their diets. Despite the
differences in the demography and diet patterns across countries, there is a common
trend of people preferring low-calorie drinks, where maple water is emerging as an
ideal choice after coconut water.

The market is expected to witness a fall in the YOY growth rate due to the increasing
market size for maple water. With the penetration of maple water increasing during
the forecast period, the rate of growth gradually gets slower. The higher adoption of
maple water by consumers is boosting sales volume and could eventually lead to
market saturation in the coming years.
The major reasons for the growth of the global maple water market are as follows:
• Urbanization: APAC is estimated to witness the fastest urbanization over the next few
years and has an annual urbanization rate of 3%. More than half of its population is
residing in urban areas
• Aging population: The growing number of aging people across the globe can make
them rely on more healthy and organic diets, including maple water, as a health drink
• Rise in disposable income: The emerging middle-class population in India and Brazil
can spend more on premium organic products, which are battling against the traditional
price-based approach in food and beverages
• Rising levels of obesity: The health-conscious people are moving towards low-calorie
drinks like maple water due to a rise in the cholesterol and obesity levels caused by the
consumption of traditional cola and sports drinks
The rising preference for sparkling drinks has enabled it to emerge as a niche segment
in the global maple water market. Sparkling maple water accounted for 7.54% of the
total market share in 2019 and is estimated to grow to 10.16% by 2025, generating
revenue of $221.18 million. The major revenue was from countries in North America
where the craze for carbonated drinks is the maximum. The region generated $22.43
million in 2019, surpassing the non-sparkling segment. The market is dominated by

With the environment hazards piling up, consumers are willing to invest in products
that enhance sustainability. Consumers who are well educated are paying more
attention to clean labels and eco-friendly production processes. The same concept
also applies to the mode of packaging. Since paper boards and tetra packs are the
most sustainable methods of packing that can be recycled, more players are adopting
this method since it also serves the on-the-go purpose. Accordingly, paper boards
generated revenue of $360.02 million in 2019, being the most popular form of the
packaging even in countries like Brazil, China, and India.
Since maple water also has a considerable shelf life of more than 18 months, the
players are willing to spend more on innovative packagings like cans and pet bottles.
The pet bottles are the second major method of packaging with attractive labels,
which is expected to generate $599.67 million by 2025, followed by niche cans, which
are preferred mostly for the growing sparkling water segment. Only a few players like
Drink Simple, Kiki, Tretap, and Sap Sucker promote their products in cans. It can be
seen as an opportunity by the other players to enter this segment and capitalize on
opportunities since sparkling drinks are always on the wish list of consumers.
It is also expected that most of the sales of maple water in growing markets like APAC
will be through supermarkets and hypermarkets. With the growing retail market in
countries like Russia, Turkey, and the UK, the future of maple water relies on
discounters and specialty stores. Accordingly, supermarkets contributed $181.46
million in 2019, followed by convenience stores and online sales at $126.03 million
and $98.83 million, respectively. The online segment is considered to be the fastest
growing segment, growing at a CAGR of 32.12% during the forecast period. Although
it has maximum penetration in the UK and the US, the emerging economies where
internet penetration is gaining momentum is the reason for the steady growth.

Moreover, for products like maple water where people are mostly unaware of its
health benefits, pilot testing, and limited distribution with consumer feedback can
help players to adopt changes based on a specific country. For instance, in countries
like India, changes can be made on the price factors and the addition of new flavors
like mango in their product lines. On the other hand, in countries like the US, Canada,
and other European countries, the players can focus on more distribution channels
like online and specialty stores since people are more aware of the product.
The threat of new entrants is medium. The maple forests are concentrated in the
forest regions of Canada and the US and are not easily available for commercial
cultivation in most of the other regions in Europe and APAC. Hence, there is a
possibility of new entrants emerging from North America. There are also chances of
these manufacturers bagging the distribution rights from new entrants in other
countries.
Since most of the tapping process from maple trees is done by the producers
themselves, and very few are relying on farmers for harvesting, there are not much
bargaining powers from the suppliers.
The price points of maple water are similar among all the maple water manufacturers
across regions. Since maple water is a natural and organic product with minimum
processing, buyers cannot insist on more differentiation in the product contents. They
tend to get more or less similar offerings from vendors and the only difference can be
based on new and exciting flavors. Hence, the bargaining power of buyers is
moderate.
The threat of substitutes is high in the case of maple water. Being an alternative for
water, gaining momentum over coconut water, which dominates the alternative water
market, is not an easy task. Moreover, since maple water is expensive, manufacturers
will have to face a lot of challenges and competition from similar emerging waters like
birch water, cactus water, aloe vera water, and watermelon water.
Although the market growth is being propelled by a few players in the highly
fragmented market, the competitive rivalry between players tends to be maximum
due to few opportunities and chances available for them to outplay the competition.
The success also lies in the impact of distribution channels and logistics, where each
player is trying to gain an edge over other market rivals.

North America was the largest region in terms of flavored and unflavored maple
water, and generated $106.86 million and $180.33 million, respectively, in 2019. The
major reason is due to the high awareness and abundant production facilities in
Quebec that helped in the consumption of more maple water in the region. The most
popular flavors in the region include ginger, lemon, orange, and raspberry. The
market vendors are looking to launch new and innovative flavors during the forecast

Europe is the second-largest market after North America in terms of both flavored
and unflavored maple water, generating $39.72 million and $73.03 million,
respectively, in 2019. Europe is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.16% in the
flavored segment due to the rising preference for new flavors by consumers in these
regions. Peach, lemon, and ginseng are the flavors that players can focus on
during the forecast period.
APAC is said to be the fastest growing region in the unflavored segment and is
growing at a CAGR of 37.02% due to the increasing trend towards additional flavors
along with the natural and authentic original flavors.
The Latin American region is the fastest-growing region in terms of unflavored maple
water after the APAC and MEA regions, which generated $18.97 million in 2019 and
expected to grow at a CAGR of 29.54% to generate $89.64 million by 2025. Players
entering the Latin American region can focus on Brazil and Mexico for higher
penetration and adoption rates.
The MEA is a growing market for both flavored and unflavored maple water and
generated $4.90 million and $11.47 million, respectively, in 2019. With the flavored
segment growing at a rate of 35.53%, players can focus more on flavors like lemon,
mango, sour berries, and guava that people are fond of.

Unflavored maple water is the largest contributor to the global maple water market
and accounted for more than 70% share, which is similar across regions. Despite the
craze for flavored drinks, new users, and consumers who are trying maple water for
the first time, always want to taste the original flavor of the water and the benefits
acquired from it. The brands can determine success only through the market response
for unflavored drinks. If the response is positive, they can eventually enter the
flavored segment of maple water for further expansion and market penetration.

Unflavored maple water dominates the global maple water market; it contributed
revenue of $336.47 million in 2019 and is expected to generate $1,338.13 million by
2025, growing at a CAGR of 25.87%.
Owing to the growth of the health-conscious population, there is a high demand for
alternative waters like maple water, which can be a probable substitute for coconut
water. This is why most of the brands are looking to enter the maple water segment
with their natural and original flavors before launching flavored water. Since the
people are in dire need of low-calorie and no-preservatives drinks, unflavored maple
water is the preferred option since they are low in calories when compared to flavored
ones. For instance, unflavored maple water provides around 30 calories per 330 ml,
whereas flavored maple water contains more than 40 calories.
All the players in the maple water industry are offering their primary unflavored
maple water in pet bottles, eco-friendly paper boards, and cans. For instance, Oviva,
Maple3, Vertical Water, Seva, and Necta are predominantly offering their unflavored
water in paper boards, which is easily biodegradable and targeted at on-the-go
consumption. Some brands like Sap Sucker and Drink Simple also offer them in pet
bottles to reach a wider range of consumers.
The price range of unflavored and original maple water ranges from $8−10 per
liter. The price is almost similar among all the brands, which further intensifies
competition. Most of the brands prefer supermarkets and convenience stores as their
premium model of selling. In new and growing markets like APAC, Latin America,
and MEA, the exhibition of these products in supermarkets can gain customer
attention and thereby boost sales.

The efforts required to satisfy the dynamic needs of consumer preference is a great
threat to players of the beverages industry. Accordingly, despite the need for
authentic original taste of maple water, players are innovating new product lines in
them by introducing a variety of flavors to stay ahead of the competition. This can
help consumers to get the benefits of nutrition from maple water along with their
favorite taste and flavors. This can fulfill consumers’ craving for unique flavors and
can be on par with the competition as most of the alternative water brands are
offering their drinks in multiple flavors. For instance, birch water is offered in
watermelon, peach, mango, orange, and blueberry flavors along with the original
flavor.

The flavored maple water segment contributed revenue of $173.28 million in 2019
and is growing at a CAGR of 30.08% to reach $839.66 million by 2025. Since the
craze for flavored drinks exists all over the globe, most of the players in the maple
water industry offer their products in various flavors. Brands like Maple3, Happy
Tree, Drink Simple, Wahta, Necta, Kiki, and Sap Sucker offer their products in
blueberry, cranberry, raspberry, lime, lemon, and orange flavors. Some of the brands
like Sap Sucker offer their flavored lime and lemon maple drinks in the sparkling
category rather than the non-sparkling segment to tap the unexplored market. They
prefer cans for the sparkling flavored water since cans are the preferred packaging
method for carbonated waters.
A similar strategy is followed by Drink Simple, where they offer sparkling flavored
drinks in dual flavors like raspberry lemon and mango lemon in cans of 12 Oz (355
ml), which costs $2.5−3. They also offer flavored drinks in pet bottles, thus
penetrating a wider market. They are also offering in packs of 12 that can help boost
the sales volume. The calories offered in the flavored drinks may be higher than the
unflavored ones. For instance, the calories offered in the sparkling Drink Simple
raspberry lemon is 40 calories per 355 ml.
All these products are sold prominently through supermarkets and hypermarkets,
which are the main distribution channels where most of the end-users for this
segment gather. These are also sold through the online marketplaces, which accounts
for a considerable amount of sales since the consumers are mostly young adults who
rely on the internet for every aspect. The new flavors can also be pilot-tested at
numerous cities to get a response from consumers before launching it on a full scale
to reduce the cost. The brands can offer a unique, authentic flavor that is different
from the others in multiple packaging formats with numerous purchasing options to
get an edge over other market rivals.

and was valued at $471.30 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $1,956.61 million

Since most of the sparkling drinks are flavored, they can considerably contain more
calories. On the other hand, the non-sparkling maple water can be unflavored and
have a lower number of calories than the flavored varieties. This is another major
reason why people that prefer low-calorie drinks are opting for non-sparkling rather
than sparkling maple water. Thus, the non-sparkling segment is the preferred option
for both millennials and baby boomers, which is the reason for its huge market size.
All the players in the maple water industry offer non-sparkling water, including
players like Drink Simple, Tretap, and Sap Sucker that specialize in the production of
sparkling water. This is the reason for the dominant market share, where each player
offers non-sparkling maple water in different sizes and packs. The non-sparkling
segment has all kinds of flavors like raspberry, blueberry, lemon, orange, and mango
in order to fulfill each individual’s desire for taste.
These non-sparkling waters are offered in tetra packs and pet bottles for the
convenience of end-users. Cans are not preferred if the maple water is not carbonated,
and cans also increase the cost of packaging. They are widely available in all forms of
supermarkets and hypermarkets, with growing sales through the online medium as
well.

Sparkling maple water accounted for a very low share of 7−10% in the global maple
water market in 2019. However, the market share of this segment is expected to grow
during the forecast period due to a higher demand for fizzy and carbonated waters
around the globe. The introduction of sparkling water in the market is seen as an
effort to venture into the unexplored segment of maple water, which is a crucial factor
for the beverage industry. Whatever the type of beverage, there is a huge scope for
growth of the fizzy water segment in the beverages industry, which gives hope for
market players to introduce sparkling water product lines for a product like maple

It is estimated that Americans drink more than 170 million gallons of sparkling water
each year, which is a 42% increase during 2011−2016. Sparkling waters are the hottest
choice among millennials. With the need for more flavors and nutrition, they are also
the top consumers of sparkling and carbonated drinks. With more than 70% of the
US citizens trying to cut down on their sugar intake, the demand for non-sugary
natural sparkling waters like maple water has risen in recent years.
Currently, there are only very few players like Sap Sucker, Drink Simple, and Tretap
that are offering sparkling waters as a part of their product innovation strategy. While
Tretap offers only unflavored sparkling water, brands like Drink Simple and Sap
Sucker are offering flavored sparkling water in raspberry, lemon, orange, and mango
flavors that are packaged in cans. The price of sparkling water ranges at $2.5−3.5 per
355 ml can. The canned sparkling waters are widely distributed in supermarkets and
are sold through online websites.
With consumers driving consistent demand for innovations and segments in the
beverages industry, the introduction of the most successful fizzy concept in maple
water can be an important driver for market growth. The unexplored sparkling
segment that is dominated by very few brands is expected to witness many new
entrants, making the market more competitive for the existing vendors. The sparkling
segment is expected to gain a consistent market share during the forecast period due
to its rapid adoption and growth rate.

Pet bottles are the second-most preferred method for packaging maple water after
the paper boards. With the trend of plastic blow molding techniques, pet bottles can
be made in various sizes and shapes with the required density. They are polymerized
in such a way that they are very durable and resistant to breakage. They are also
lighter than cans and glass containers, and the most suitable for long-distance
transportation of maple water when compared with tetra packs.

The rigid packaging had a 36% share of the global beverage packaging in 2017. With
the increasing production of pet bottles, which was around 485 billion units in 2016,
the demand tends to increase during the forecast period. It is also expected to reach
583 billion units bottles worldwide by the end of 2021, not due to the demand for
sustainability but due to the convenience and other manufacturing benefits for the
company and consumers. Although plastic is not fully biodegradable, it can be
recycled once for other minor purposes such as drip irrigation, pillow stuffing, and
making carpet fibers.
Pet bottles constitute almost a 21% share of the maple water packaging. Players like
Happy Tree, Drink Simple, Siberri, Antiplus, and Sap on Tap offer their waters in pet
bottles. The pet bottles are widely sold and distributed among online marketplaces,
supermarkets, and convenience stores. It helps to display the crystal clear and natural

The other modes of packaging techniques such as cans and glasses comprised roughly
a 5% share of the global maple water market in 2019. Cans are mostly preferred for
their convenience and portability. Since they are durable and lightweight, they are
suitable for outdoor activities and adventures like hiking and camping. Since most of
the maple water consumers are health-conscious, gym-goers, sports and fitness
enthusiasts, cans are the suitable option after sustainable paper boards as well as on-
the-go pet bottles.

are offering their flavored and unflavored sparkling water in aluminum cans. They
are of various sizes ranging from 355 ml to 1 liter. Cans are preferred over pet bottles
and paper boards for carbonated drinks since the sealed air packed containers can
keep the maple water for prolonged storage. They are also less prone to breakage in
warehouses. They are extensively available in offline and online stores and are found
in almost every supermarket and hypermarket in the North American region.

The distribution and logistics aspects are challenging in any business, especially in
maple water production. Since the tapping process for sap from maple trees is
unpredictable, there is no predicted distribution of a specific quantity of maple water,
which leads to complications between the manufacturer and suppliers. Thus, the
maple water business also requires additional operational and logistics strength to
cater to rising customer demands.

rise in the number of discounters across countries. This resulted in the considerable
contribution of maple water sales through discounters, which was highest in North
America. Discounters selling maple water in North America are expected to generate
revenue of $108.89 million by 2025, while those in the MEA region are expected to

and the UK will contribute 51% of maple water sales. Hypermarkets are also rising in
numbers in growing economies like India. The opening of discount stores with
innovative features and holding more organic and private label brands has been in
trend now. Their customers have been shifted from low-income shoppers to high-
income consumers who are looking for price benefits. It is also expected that online
sales will increase by 7.7%, and discounters will expand 15.8% by 2024 in the UK.
The acquisition of distribution is a crucial segment for beverage products like maple
water. Accordingly, brands like Vertical Water are planning to expand their business
to countries apart from the US with a strong operational structure. They are accepted
by Sprouts – a Southwest American grocery store specializing in healthy and fresh
fruits. Impressed with their performance, the store has agreed to stock their product
in more than 172 stores across the country. Sprouts have also partnered with
Wegmans stores, which is spread over the mid-Atlantic region of the US.

With the Quebec region accounting for more than 80% of the total maple sap and
other maple products, there are also few species of maple trees in Europe, northern
Africa, and the Asia Pacific, where there is no proper tapping of maple sap. Also, there
is a lack of commercial establishments producing maple water similar to the
distribution of maple syrup. With the growth of the global maple water market,
several local players are emerging in other countries by tapping the water and thus
entering the potential market based on opportunity. While North America and
Europe are considered as the major revenue and sales contributors, regions like
APAC, Latin America, and MEA are the major growth markets that are focussed on
the distribution by market vendors.

Since Quebec and other forest regions in the US are filled with maple trees, North
America is the leading market accounting for revenue of $287.19 million in 2019 and
is expected to generate $1090.64 million by 2025. With the increasing penetration of
organic products, which accounted for $49.22 billion in 2017, the US and Canada are
recognized as the forerunners in the global organic market. With the growth of
specialty stores and large retail chains like Whole Foods, Kroger, and Costco and with
more e-commerce adoption, sales can be boosted during the forecast period.
Europe is the second-largest market after North America due to a similar health-
conscious mindset and preference for low-calorie drinks among consumers. With
more than $54 being spent on average by a European consumer on organic products,
the scope for maple water sales and usage is high in this region. Europe contributed
revenue of $112.76 million in 2019, which is growing at a CAGR of 28% to reach
$495.93 million by 2025. Like any other market, supermarkets accounted for a
34.66% share of total sales in 2019. The online channel is the fastest growing segment
with a share of 32.86% due to the rapid adoption of the internet, followed by
discounters with a share of 31.95%.

With the presence of more than 42,000 discounters in Europe as of 2017, the number
of discounters selling organic products is expected to grow during the forecast period.
Despite private labels accounting for more than half of the discounters’ growth,
discounters are also efficient sellers of maple water since people always give weight
for the price factor. The specialty stores in Europe are expected to generate $59.26
million by 2025, which is mainly contributed by sports and fitness enthusiasts.
The APAC region, which mostly comprises growing economies, is the major target
market for market players. With an estimated aging population of more than 1.3
billion by 2050, consumers are embracing a healthy diet and organic food to tackle
the health risks at those ages. They are also aware of the fact that their nutritional
choices will have an impact in their old age. With consumers becoming more health-
conscious, there is more scope and opportunities for food and beverages like maple
water to dominate the market in the future years.
Accordingly, the APAC region contributed revenue of $67.34 million in 2019 and is
growing at a CAGR of 32.98% during the forecast period. The presence of more
millennials in the region is driving the consumer behavior towards more sugar
substitutes and low-calorie beverages. The increased purchasing power due to higher
per capita income in the growing economies can enable them to be more particular in
buying drinks and beverages. These are the favorable insights that can enhance
growth and sales in the APAC region, which is estimated to generate $372.42 million
by 2025.
The regions of Latin America and MEA are unexplored and are steadily contributing
to the global market. While the governments in most countries like Chile and Mexico
are trying to reduce the consumption of sugary beverages by imposing more taxes,
the growing consumer awareness can also be one of the major reasons spurring the
growth of maple water sales during the forecast period. With the increasing cases of
obesity, more countries are willing to follow the diet pattern of Costa Rica, which is
determined to be one of the healthiest nations because of their diet pattern.
Countries like Mexico and Brazil are the major drivers for the growth of the global
maple water market, where people are willing to spend a premium on organic
products. Brazil, which contributes more than 60% share of the Latin American
maple water market revenue, is also the second-largest fitness market in the world
that can drive the fitness enthusiasts towards alternative waters like maple water. The
Latin American market was valued at $26.10 million in 2019 and is expected to grow
at a CAGR of 31.07% to reach $132.30 million by 2025. Pet bottles are the most
popular mode of packaging for maple water in this region, with a share of 33.42%.
The MEA market is still in a nascent stage for the adoption of maple water; it is the
fastest growing region with a CAGR of 31.98%. It generated revenue of $16.36 million
in 2019 and is expected to reach $86.50 million by 2025 due to increased spending
on organic products by consumers in countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and South
Africa.

The North American region is the largest producer of maple water and accounts for
more than 50% share of the total maple water production across the globe. The
awareness and expansion of maple water and maple trees are more among consumers
in this region than any other country due to the nativity of trees in this region. Besides
being the largest producer of maple water, factors such as rapid economic
development, presence of health-conscious people and their strict diet, the growing
trend for alternative waters, and rise in the number of fitness enthusiasts are the
reasons for the huge market size and consumption of natural waters in the region.

More than one-third of the North Americans believe ‘back to basics’ is more
important, which includes the purchase of GMO and gluten-free products. More than
55% of the consumers buy products based on clean labels where the maple water
brands are certified with all the authorized labels, making it a qualified and
sustainable product. It is also found that generation Z are the major people who are
more health-conscious with a preference for the consumption of gluten-free and
organic products. It is also found that 41% of generation Z are willing to spend more
on premium organic products compared to 32% of millennials. This is another major
driver for the large consumption in the region. Portland, Washington, and Colorado
are some of the most health-conscious cities in the US.
The consumers in the US and Canada are more aware of the functional benefits
offered by these waters than the people in the UK, which makes the job much easier
for market players to sell their products. This makes the market more concentrated
and intense in these regions where all the players strive to stand out among the
competition through innovation and packaging techniques. It is estimated that more
than 81% of the consumers in the US prefer buying organic products at least
occasionally. It is also estimated that 59% of the North Americans have cut down on
fat, sugar, and chocolates and relied on more natural and fresh foods. This is also a
positive factor for maple water growth and consumption.
The Federation of Maple Syrup Producers ensures that the maple water is distributed
according to the NAPSI certification in the region, making it the innovative leader in
the maple water process and decisive authority. The Quebec region in Canada is the
source of more than 75% of the maple water that is used for consumption across the
globe. The production facilities are also concentrated in Ontario. It is also estimated
that only 2% of the maple trees in New York are tapped, and there is much unexplored
areas. Regions like Feronia Forests, including regions like Ramblewild, which is an
adventure park, are considered as valuable sources of maple trees.
Since there are many sourcing facilities for maple water from trees, the intensity of
the differentiation lies in the distribution and market penetration. In the uneven
tapping season of the sap, it is not easy to maintain a positive and healthy relationship
with suppliers for assured logistics. This a major challenge among producers of maple
waters in the region. The region is home to the leading players in the industry like
Drink Maple, Oviva, Wahta, Necta, Seva, and Maple3, which are focussing on their
challenging distribution networks. While most of the vendors sell their products
through their primary websites, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and online stores are
the major hotspots for consumer purchases.

Being the largest economy in North America, the US is the world’s largest consumer
of maple water and one of the hotspots for maple water tapping after Canada. The
maple trees are generally found in the hardiness zones of 3 to 9. This can include the
US states of Minnesota to Texas and Florida, which almost covers the entire country.
They are predominantly found in the North and Northeast zones of the US due to the
cooler climatic conditions in the region. Drinking maple sap is not a new concept in
the US since it is considered a tonic; people have been consuming it for a long period
of time than the rest of the globe.
The maple water market in the US was valued at $187.33 million in 2019 and is

The lifestyle of the people in the US is supporting the increased consumption of maple
water. The country is also witnessing a rising preference for organic products in the
Western US, which grew by 14% during 2013−2018. With the youth population
accounting for more than 13% of the total population in the country, they are mostly
driven by the health-conscious factor, which, in turn, is driving the preference for
maple water. With more than 45 million gym-going adults in the country, the US is a
huge market for maple water since it is considered to be a refreshing and natural
alternative to other sugary health drinks. Since maple water is a low-calorie product,
about 59% of the Americans who prefer low-sugar products are opting for maple
water as an alternative to sodas.
The country has numerous outlets for the distribution of maple water through
convenience stores, specialty stores like Kroger’s, Costco, Ahold, Wegmans, Whole
Foods Market, and online stores due to the high usage by consumers in the country.
Even restaurant chains have started using maple water for flavoring in dishes, ice
creams, sorbets, and even in cocktails. Vertical Water, Drink Maple, Maple3, and Seva
are some of the best-selling maple water brands in the country. For instance, Drink
Maple is sold in the Southwest US region. H-E-B is sold in the Texas region and more
than 3,000 stores across the country. The west coast of the country is considered to
offer a great opportunity and is an untapped market for maple water.
Canada is the world’s largest producer of maple water and home to several leading
players in the industry like Oviva, Pure Maple Water, Necta, and Wahta. The Quebec
Maple Syrup Federation (FPAQ) is increasing the production of maple water with a
goal of increasing to two million liters in 2018, along with the growth in maple syrup
production. They are the leaders of the international innovation network for all maple
products. More than 90% of the maple water that is produced in Canada is from the
Quebec region. Being home to more than 10 maple species, maple water is an
ecological and economically significant aspect in Canada.

51% of the Canadians are eating healthier than before, which is promoting the use of
transparent and clean labels for food and beverages. This makes people more calorie
conscious and drives the demand for drinks like maple water in the country. It is also
estimated that more than 71% of Canadians prefer organic beverages. With the huge
production of maple water every day, consumers in Canada are aware of the immense
benefits of maple water much more than consumers in other countries, which is
fueling rapid market growth.
The Canadian maple water industry is home to a large number of leading players and
hundreds of smaller players, which makes the market more competitive. With the
abundance of maple trees spread across the region, the sourcing and taping process
does not restrict new vendors from entering the market. With the intense
competition, players are trying to differentiate their products through modification
of the content. Improving the taste with enhanced flavors and the introduction of new
product lines like sparkling water are some of the effective strategies for players to
gain an advantage over new entrants.
While most of the grocery stores are a revenue source for the sales of packaged maple
water, the e-commerce websites of brands, as well as online marketplaces such as
Kroger’s, Walmart, and Amazon, account for considerable sales of the product. The
distribution is concentrated in the convenience stores, supermarkets &
hypermarkets, and specialty stores where the maple water is sold in tetra packs, pet
bottles, and cans.
EUROPE
16 EUROPE
Europe is the second-largest market for maple water after the North American region.
It accounted for revenue of $112.76 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a
CAGR of 28% during the forecast period to reach $495.93 million by 2025. Due to
the demand for similar tastes and preferences like the Americans and Canadians, the
consumers in Europe are demanding lower calorie and high functional waters that
are mostly organic. This has prompted maple water producers from Canada and the
US to venture into the potential markets of Europe. There is number of maple trees
across Europe, especially in the Nordic region, which will encourage the emergence
of local players competing with global leaders in the maple water market.

More than 75% of European consumers are willing to buy healthier products that
have reduced amounts of sugar, salt, and calories. With Germany leading in the
consumption of organic foods, more than 40% of the consumers are buying only
vegetarian products. These may be mainly due to factors like health problems,
environmental concerns, and need for weight loss. They prefer to buy premium
organic beverages where the future of maple water is evident with the favorable
consumer buying behavior in the region. It is also estimated that every 1 in 5 drinks
that are launched in Europe has an organic claim. The claim has raised from 9% to
17% in 2019, which proves the region’s passion for organic drinks. While France,
Spain, and Germany are leading the market for organic drinks, many more countries
are expected to follow suit.

It is also found that millennials aged 25−34 years and gen Z aged 16−24 years are the
major purchasers of organic food in countries like Spain, Poland, and Italy. In Italy,
more than 88% of the millennials are willing to buy organic foods, followed by
Germany (85%) and Spain (81%). They are also willing to pay a premium for organic
products when compared to any other generation.
In Europe, countries like the UK, Germany, France, Spain, and Italy are the major
target areas for new players entering the region. It is estimated that the introduction
of new products will have a success rate of more than 54% in the UK. Moreover, the
market expansion of existing products will lead to a 34% increase in sales in the
country. In the UK, the organic food and beverage market grew 6%, generating
revenue of $2.45 billion in 2018. While Germany is one of the top markets for
beverages and soft drinks, there is a niche market for functional beverages,
smoothies, alternative waters, and other organic beverages, where products like
maple water can attract a lot of consumers and gain acceptance during the forecast
period.
There are also increasing levels of obesity, which motivates more than 27% of the
Europeans to prefer healthy diets to achieve weight loss. There is also a growing trend
for ethical-labeled and free-from products. People show more interest in buying
gluten-free, preservative-free, and GMO-free, organic and natural products based on
the awareness throughout the region.
With the European region being one of the potential markets for sparkling drinks,
more innovations can be done in the sparkling maple water category to witness high
growth in sales. Accordingly, the sparkling maple water segment, which generated
revenue of $8.81 million in 2019, is expected to grow at a CAGR of 34.69% during the
forecast period to generate $52.58 million by 2025.
Countries like Denmark accounted for more than 10% sales of organic drinks; hence,
the preference and diet pattern of the people in the country is evident. The players
can focus on established markets in this country for catering to the demand-supply
gap. With the growth of discounters like Lidl, Aldi, Tesco, and Asda, especially in the
UK, the future of discounters is prominent, where they are one of the effective sales
channels to distribute maple water.
It is also found that retailers in European countries like Germany, France, Italy, and
the Netherlands are witnessing a high demand from consumers for organically
sourced products. They also expect ethical production and environment-friendly
products. This is prompting retailers to expand their shelf spaces for more organic
food and beverages, where maple water can be one among them. While the
penetration of online and e-commerce is the maximum in countries like the UK, the
players can also make efforts to distribute their products via supermarkets and
discounters. It is estimated that the UK, Turkey, and Russia will drive 51% of the retail
grocery sales by 2022.

The UK is one of the fastest adopters for new products across the globe; hence, the
UK market is a vital growth enhancer for products like maple water. It is also the
largest market for maple water after the US and Canada in North America. Since most
of the people in the country are confused with maple syrup over maple water, brands
are making efforts to launch many educational marketing campaigns to differentiate
the product from the ‘sugary maple syrup’ perception. Since there are not many
tapping sources for sap in the country, maple sap is predominantly imported from
Canada and the US. The maple water market in the UK was valued at $33.84 million
in 2019 and is expected to reach $129.94 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of

The consumers in the UK are similar to the consumers in the US, with a common
thirst for organic, single-ingredient, and sustainable beverages. The vigorous efforts
to promote the functional benefits associated with maple water is the key criteria for
success for the players in the country since the demand for alternative healthy drinks
already exists in the market. The people are trying to move away from juices, fizzy
drinks, and smoothies in search of more provenance and nutritional drinks. This is a
positive trend for the growth and adoption of maple water in the country.
The consumers in the UK are becoming more health-conscious, where organic labels
play an important role in the purchase decision of consumers. This has made the UK
one of the most developed organic and free-
from markets in the world. This can be
“Consumers prefer to have
attributed to the rise in the impact of a
sustainable, healthy, organic,
greater number of retail outlets, media
single-ingredient products in
attention, and increased benefits of organic

gluten-free products, 19% prefer dairy-free
products, and 16% prefer lactose-free
products. Accordingly, maple water being gluten-free, dairy-free, and organic can
witness growth due to these consumer preferences.
In a fitness-oriented country like the UK, where 1 in every 7 people holds a gym
membership, the total number of gym-goers was estimated at 9.7 million in 2019.
Hence, the UK is an ideal market for maple water as a refreshing and alternative
sports drink. Further, the country has a huge demand for low-calorie drinks and
alternative waters, where maple water is considered to be the best choice.
Most of the players are shifting their attention to the European market, especially the
UK, and its distribution channels. With more than 5,944 supermarkets and 42,091
convenience stores in 2018, there is a huge scope for the adoption and penetration of
maple water during the forecast period. For instance, Drink Maple is available in
CSN, Marigold, Epicurium, Diverse Fine Foods, Infinity Foods, and JD’s Wholesale,
which can penetrate the market better. Thus, to witness market expansion, finding
suitable distribution partners and retail chains can be a deciding factor in the market
positioning in the industry, where Bristol, Liverpool, Norwich, and London are the
primary targets for expansion due to their high density of health-oriented consumers.
Germany is considered as a potential market in Europe after the UK due to its large
packaged food and beverage industry. Some of the recent trends in the country
include the rising demand for convenience, health & wellness, vegan, and organic
products in the market. Another driving factor for the adoption of maple water is that
the German people take pride in being green and eco-friendly. They are also willing
to pay more for natural, organic, free-trade, and sustainable products, which is a
favorable insight for maple water growth in the country.
The maple water market in Germany was valued at $19.02 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $67.28 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 23.43%.

The German consumer awareness of health and fitness has led to the growth of
naturally derived and organic ingredients in the country. There is no production of
maple sap in the country, due to which it is the largest importer of maple water and
maple products from Canada. Germany accounted for a 39.7% share of the total
maple products imported to the European Union in 2015. Due to the insufficient
organic farming lands in the country, it mainly depends on imports for organic and
natural products, which enables Canada to be the largest exporter of maple water to
Germany.
The free-from products witnessed a rise of 4%, growing to $1.22 billion in 2018. The
sugar and low-calorie-based beverages generated revenue of $1.99 billion, which
grew by 5% in 2018. This proves that there are high demand and scope for the
adoption of organic and healthy beverages like maple water in the country. Also, the
rising concept of veganism had driven the growth of vegan products, which tripled
during the period 2013−2018. It is also estimated that more than 15% of the world’s
vegan product launches in 2018 was in Germany, which also had more than 170 vegan
restaurants. This has led to the high consumption of organic and natural foods and
beverages, including the prominent future for the rise of maple water.
In addition to the preference for natural and organic products, Germany accounted
for the largest gym memberships of 10.6 million members in Europe. This is a growth
scenario for the maple water since it can be used as a fitness drink. It can soon capture
the market catering to sports personalities and fitness enthusiasts as a natural and
organic sports drink.
Supermarkets are the largest distribution channel for maple products and accounted
for nearly 23.4% of branded and 17.25% of private-label products in the total maple
product sales in 2018. Further, the other mass merchandisers, hypermarkets, and
specialty stores are the major potential targets for players to expand and penetrate
the market in the country.
France has become more health-conscious after the recent food scandals regarding
harmful adulteration. This has increased the preference for vegan and organic
products among consumers. It is estimated that French consumers spend more than
0ne-fifth of their disposable income on food, where a majority of the population is
willing to spend on high-quality, premium organic beverages. Due to the rising
demand, a large number of private label brands have emerged to bridge the demand-
supply gap. Hence, France has a huge demand for products like maple water as a
health drink; maple water is mainly imported from major maple water tapping
countries like Canada and the US. The maple water market in France was valued at
$15.03 million in 2019 and is expected to reach $64.06 million by 2025, growing at
a CAGR of 27.33%.

Moreover, due to the rising levels of obesity in the country, in 2017, the government
has banned restaurants and other outlets from offering high sugary and high-calorie
drinks to reduce obesity. This has encouraged hotels to offer low-calorie, natural
drinks like maple water as an alternative to sugary drinks. With the growth of organic
retail food store chains, including supermarkets and hypermarkets, the growth and
distribution of organic maple water can witness a boost in sales.
Moreover, the opening of a large number of low-cost gyms, including 145 low-cost
health clubs in 2016, has boosted the number of people focussing on health and
fitness. France currently follows the UK and Germany in terms of gym memberships,
which was estimated at 5.7 million in 2017. The expansion of these fitness centers can
prompt fitness and sports enthusiasts to adopt more organic and natural diets like
consuming low-calorie maple water instead of sugary health drinks. Thus, a large
number of health clubs is indirectly contributing to the market growth of maple water
in the country.
France is considered to be one of the untapped markets for the expansion of maple
water; hence, vendors can eventually capitalize on market opportunities through the
first-mover strategy and gain a large distribution base in the country. The rising
number of specialty and convenience stores can spread awareness about the maple
water, which is proposed as a valid substitute to other waters like coconut and birch
water.
Spain, which is the healthiest nation in the world, is a valid proof for people following
healthy diets and low-calorie foods. Here, people generally follow a Mediterranean
diet that makes them healthy and free from diseases. They are also free from obesity
due to the preference for organic drinks and natural supplements. The consumers are
moving towards sustainable products based on the awareness level in the market. The
maple water market in Spain was valued at $12.45 million in 2019 and is expected to
reach $59.74 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 29.88%.

The organic products market in Spain grew by 12.55% in 2017, reaching a value of
$1.86 billion, making it one of the top 10 nations for organic produce. Spain, which is
still an unfamiliar market for natural products like maple water, can witness growth
during the forecast period due to the strong impact of organic foods and veganism.
The growing demand for products with organic certification and clean labels in the
country can enable a greater number of supermarkets and hypermarkets in the nation
to stock healthy substitutes like maple water and boost their sales. It is also estimated
that a greater number of grocery retailers prefer organic products in recent years,
which is a positive scenario for the growing maple water market.
Although very few people in Spain are considered as vegans, the country was ranked
among the top 10 vegan nations in the globe in 2017. This can further boost the
consumption of natural and eco-friendly products like maple water. The millennials
are driving the rapid growth of organic products and are willing to spend more on
premium low-calorie foods and beverages that are natural and contain very little
sugar and calories.
The country also had 5.2 million gym-going adults in 2017 who are adhering to a strict
and healthy diet. Thus, new players entering the market can divert their attention
towards these people in the fitness segment, who are considered as the early adopters
for these special products. Maple water can also be promoted and sold in fitness
centers and other specialty stores, which can enhance the results and communication
of benefits across the market. Thus, the country can be seen as a potential market for
maple water adoption during the forecast period due to the already existing health
trends, which can positively enhance the growth of maple water usage.
Italy is ranked as the second wealthiest nation in the globe after Spain. This is mainly
due to the efforts of people in maintaining a health-conscious and nutritious diet in
their lifestyle. Thus, the market is favorable to the introduction of healthy and natural
organic products like maple water. The eco-friendly and sustainable approach by the
Italians is further boosting the growth in the consumption of organic products. The
maple water market in Italy was valued at $12.23 million in 2019 and is expected to
reach $64.55 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 31.94%.

Italian consumers are willing to focus more on quality and safety rather than pricing
due to the increased consumer awareness on health and wellness. They are also
willing to spend 15% more on organic and premium products, which can also enhance
sales of maple water. It is also estimated that more than 10% of the Italian population
are vegetarians, which prompts them to follow a stringent diet.
It is also estimated that the large-scale distribution of organic products in the country
grew by 18% in 2017. The organic products are being bought by more than 6.5 million
Italian families each week, which contributes roughly around 26% of the total sales.
Being one of the leading countries in the fitness industry, Italy is home to a large
number of sports and fitness enthusiasts. These people are the target consumers for
products like maple water, which helps them to get refreshed after workouts. Maple
water is also claimed to be a valuable substitute for conventional sports and health
drinks. The vendors can try to focus on these millennials and generation Z consumers
who are fitness-oriented and health-conscious.
It is also estimated that most of the organic products are sold via supermarkets and
hypermarkets, which accounted for 45% of the overall sales, followed by specialty
stores with 24% and other channels with 19% in 2018. Based on the actual statistics,
the new players entering the market can also follow a similar pattern to capture and
penetrate the market in the shortest time possible.
APAC
17 APAC
The APAC region, which is home to a large number of potential markets like China,
Japan, South Korea, Australia, India, and Singapore, is estimated to be the third-
largest consumer of maple water during the forecast period after North America and
Europe. The maple water market in the APAC region generated revenue of $67.34
million in 2019 and is expected to reach $372.42 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR
of 32.98%. This growth can be due to the rising middle-class economy, the high
disposable income of the generation Z and millennials, the rising health risks of the
population, and awareness of health benefits of organic products like maple water.
Due to the rising obesity levels of people in the APAC region, countries such as China
and India, which are home to a lot of diabetics, are moving to adopt healthy lifestyles.
They are trying to pursue healthy beverage options and get away from the traditional
price-sensitive approach. Accordingly, more than 70% of the Chinese people are
willing to spend money on healthier foods, making it one of the most health-conscious
nations in the world.

The invasion and dominance of millennial and generation Z consumers have been a
gamechanger for on-the-go products and ethically labeled products in the food and
beverage industry. The importance is given to the details of the label and the organic
and natural labels, with gluten-free and GMO-free products witnessing a surge in
recent years. This can also enhance the growth of ethical and sustainable products
like maple water. The packaged organic foods and beverage market in India was
valued at $56.55 million in 2017, and the tech-savvy millennials and generation Y can
be the drivers for the adoption of healthy organic beverages during the forecast
period.

While more than 18% of consumers in the region are willing to try out novel
ingredients in beverages, more than 43% are willing to pay higher for premium-
priced beverages. The rising levels of obesity have prompted the APAC consumers to
shift to flavored and non-flavored sparkling drinks rather than carbonated sodas.
This can be supported by the increasing disposable income of the middle-class
economy. There is a high demand for various flavors and authentic tastes from
consumers of plant-based waters. This is a recent trend in the APAC, where the
introduction of maple water in various flavors can further stimulate the adoption in
new markets. In a highly flavor-oriented county like India, the introduction of mango-
flavored maple water can be a game-changer in the industry since there is always a
quench for mango flavors in the country.
Countries like Japan, Hong Kong, and China are the regions where the young
population is driving the sparkling water adoption. While more than 60% of the
people in Thailand and 67% in Indonesia believe that exercise is needed for them to
stay healthy, there is a considerable scope for low-calorie drinks like maple water to
be consumed as an alternative for conventional high sugary drinks in these secondary
markets of the APAC region during the forecast period.
Even in countries like Malaysia, the highly educated consumers and government have
put in place regulations and transitioned to organic products to fight against the rise
in blood pressure, obesity, and other health problems. This can eventually open the
market for more natural and organic products, including maple water. The Ministry
of Health in Malaysia has imposed additional taxes on sugary beverages, which will
reflect on the price of those beverages. This can prompt customers to look for low-
sugar alternatives with high nutrients to prevent obesity.
While the lack of awareness is the major entry barrier for players in the APAC region,
the promotion can be done by educating the target consumers with the benefits of
maple water. With coconut water leading the market for plant-based waters in the
region, there is no doubt that highly nutritious low-calorie drinks can also be adopted
in most of the APAC regions during the forecast period. On-the-go customers majorly
dominate the region, and packaging the maple water in single-serve containers made
of paper boards and pet bottles can be bestsellers.
With more than 85% of consumers spending more time in the supermarkets and
hypermarkets in the APAC region, new products can be distributed mainly through
mass merchandisers and eventually in online marketplaces based on the response
and adoption rate. With the rise of discounters and other convenience and specialty
stores, target consumers in the APAC regions can easily buy packaged maple water of
their choice during the forecast period.

The Chinese market, which is targeted by most of the food and beverage industry
players, has recently witnessed growth in the consumption of maple and maple-
related products. Although there are small to medium-sized maple trees in the
country, there are not many production facilities for maple water. This situation has
prompted the country to import most of the maple syrup and maple water from
countries like Canada and the US. Following the success rate of imported maple syrup
from Canada, which people consider as an alternative to refined sugar, they also
consider maple syrup as a natural, organic, and additive-free product. Maple water,
which has not gained much market share in China, is expected to witness growing
adoption based on the positive response towards maple syrup.
The maple water market in China was valued at $18.1 million in 2019 and is expected
to reach $89.17 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 30.44%.

Despite the regional differences in diet patterns, the Chinese people are adopting a
healthy lifestyle and prefer to buy more organic products, which poses a market
opportunity for products like maple water in the country. While more than 88% of
Chinese consumers consider food safety as the important criterion for purchasing a
product, organic products are seeing high adoption since they are considered to be
safe. While the people of northern China are expected to show interest in maple sap,
the people on the east coast, which comprises many tier-1 cities, are willing to rely on
more imported and healthy food products due to their high disposable incomes. The
new players entering the country can target these regions for better product
penetration and a high adoption rate.
With more than 7% of the people in tier 1 and 2 cities like Shanghai, Beijing, and
Shenzhen are actively going to gyms to maintain good health, the promotion of maple
water through specialty stores can help market growth in these cities. It is estimated
that more than 85% of the people in tier 1 and 2 cities occasionally buy food and
beverages through the online medium, making it one of the crucial distribution
channels in the nation. With the supermarkets and hypermarkets constituting around
42% of the total retail sales, the rise of discounters in China can also help to penetrate
the market for new products like maple water in the country.
With the growth of plant-based natural waters like coconut water in Australia, the
spotlight remains intact for the growth of maple water along with other waters like
birch, cactus, and aloe vera. The organic products market was valued at around $2.43
billion in 2018, which is around a 90% increase to that in 2012, making it one of the
largest consumer markets for organic products. The commitment of people towards
ethical labels, eco-friendliness, and sustainability are also enabling the profitable
growth of maple water in the country. It is estimated that more than 14% of the
population in the country is highly committed to purchase organic products only.
The maple water market in Australia was valued at $12.82 million in 2019 and is

In Australia, the obesity levels of people aged above 18 years are around 67%;
moreover, there is a growing awareness among the aging population to reduce the
consumption of high sugary and high-calorie drinks. With more than 84% of the
people changing their eating habits over the last few years, it is also estimated that
more than 88% of the people are shifting towards a more health-conscious diet
pattern. With spending of around $5,000 per year per family for a healthy diet, the
scope for sales of maple water is expected to increase during the forecast period.
With the fear of tax impositions on sugary beverages, Australians are shifting to low
sugary and organic drinks, which is also backed up by the appropriate education level
of consumers. In highly health-conscious cities like Melbourne and Perth, females
and people aged above 55 years are more concerned about consuming low-calorie
drinks for healthy living. It is also estimated that more than 30% of the diet-conscious
consumers are willing to pay more for low-sugar beverages. This is a potential driver
for the marketing of maple water as an organic, low-sugar drink.
The millennials and the younger generation are the major target consumers for
healthy and expensive organic products in the country. This can be due to the higher
disposable income of individuals. Since more than 70% of the organic food
purchasers presume cost to be a viable barrier, it can be fixed appropriately by the
new entrants in the maple water industry. With one in every three individuals in
Australia being engaged in some fitness and gym activity, they can be the potential
targets for maple water sold through specialty stores.
Since the packaging of food and beverages also determine the differentiator aspect,
vendors can manufacture and deliver the products in eco-friendly and convenient
paper boards, followed by pet bottles. With the trend for low sugar and organic
products on the rise, retailers can make use of this opportunity to shelf new products
like maple water due to higher consumer preference. More than 97% of the people
prefer buying food and beverages through supermarkets and hypermarkets; it can be
the potential platform for products like maple water to capture the attention of
shoppers. With Necta being one of the early players to enter the Australian market, it
has the potential to be the market leader in the region by adopting customer-specific
strategies.
Despite the considerable distribution of maple trees in Japan, it remains as one of the
significant importers of maple products from Canada and the US due to the lack of
manufacturing and processing facilities. Apart from organic tea and milk, most of the
organic beverages like maple water, are imported. The Japanese prefer high-quality
premium products that can open the market for many new products like maple water,
which is natural and preservative-free.
The maple water market in Japan was valued at $11.44 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $66.72 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 34.16%.

Although the demand for organic products is lesser when compared to the population
of the country, the market is growing due to the high consumer awareness among the
health-conscious population. The packaged organic food and beverages were valued
at $603.44 million in 2017, where the per capita spending stood at around $5. The
sales of organic maple water can be further boosted by the Japan Agricultural
Standards (JAS) law, which promotes the product with an organic label on it. The
millennials expected to account for 17% of the total population by 2022, and are
considered to be the highly ethical-oriented consumers. They are the primary target
consumers that can drive the market for maple water in the country.
With more than 100 new beverages being launched every year in the Japanese
market, consumers are cautious in selecting the drink based on ethical labeling and
calorie content. Moreover, with the trend of clear and sparkling drinks is on the rise,
the introduction of sparkling and flavored maple water in Japan can be a
differentiator in the organic beverage industry. While most of the fitness centers are
filled with young and people above the age of 65, the importance of a healthy and
sustainable diet can be felt with the utmost care. They can consider the low-calorie
maple water as an alternative to their conventional sports and health drinks.
With more than 80% of the people in Japan, relying on the online medium for food
and beverages, online marketplaces can be a viable distribution channel for organic
maple water. Online channels accounted for around 12% of the total retail sales in
2019. Thus, new players entering the market can introduce flavored sparkling and
non-sparkling drinks in paper boards, which is considered as sustainable and ready
to drink on the go, through supermarkets and hypermarkets, followed by the highly
penetrated online medium.
The concept of maple water is not new in South Korea since the awareness of the
maple water has been around for years. Although there is no commercial impact of
maple water in the country, the villagers of Korea are known to drink more than five
gallons of sap in a single sitting during a ritual that is thousands of years old from a
maple tree, which they refer as ‘Gorosoe.’ The villagers view maple water as a
medicine for numerous ailments, including high blood pressure, hangover, and
diabetes. The Koreans are considered to have more enthusiasm for drinking natural
maple sap. This has encouraged commercial players to enter and launch the packaged
maple water market on a large-scale basis. The free trade agreement between the US
and South Korea can enable easy access to products like maple water to the Korean
markets, where organic imports in 2017 were worth more than $27 million.
The maple water market in South Korea was valued at $9.33 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $64.9 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 38.17%.

The South Koreans are shifting away from their traditional diet to more of a Western
diet. They are also demanding more ethical and organic labeled products. The total
packaged food and beverage market was valued at $230 million in 2017. Although
there are numerous organic products for infants and babies, there is a demand-supply
gap for organic beverages in the adult segment. While the total packaged organic
foods and beverages market stood at $229 million in 2017, the trend for healthier
organic supplements is on the rise. It is expected to grow in the APAC market fueled
by countries such as China and Japan.
Along with the influencing millennials, more than 63% of the consumers are aged
25−69 years, thereby driving the awareness for pursuing a healthy and gluten-free
diet. With brand loyalty among Koreans being less, new players entering the maple
water segment in the country can play a differentiator role in terms of market
capitalization. Since the concept of carbonated water is popular, the maple water
players can introduce sparkling maple water in the country to gain wider acceptance.
Since maple water is not so popular in the country, vendors can introduce the product
in hypermarkets and supermarkets, followed by discounters. Being an eco-friendly
nation, distribution through pet bottles of appropriate sizes can enhance the
penetration in the country.
LATIN AMERICA
18 LATIN AMERICA
The Latin American region is the fourth-largest market for maple water after North
America, Europe, and APAC. Accordingly, the maple water market in Latin America
was valued at $26.10 million in 2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.07%
to reach $132.30 million by the end of 2025. The lack of awareness about maple
water and its benefits is the major reason for the minor contribution of this region.
With some of the largest economies like Brazil and Mexico, the adoption of maple
water is expected to surge during the forecast period with effective pricing and
distribution strategies by the vendors.

Social and cultural aspects greatly influence the food values in Latin America. The
taste, price, and convenience are regarded as the major pillars driving the purchase
decisions in this region. However, the onset of illness and health risks like obesity and
overweight have made the buying behavior for consumers more complex in nature.
Nowadays, people tend to concentrate more on the ingredients and health benefits
derived from the supplement. In that aspect, the nutritional benefits offered by maple
water can be a success factor in the market.
Various authorities like the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) are
highlighting the benefits and promoting
guidelines for the intake of low processed foods, The Chile government
low calorie, and low sugar diets. This will also imposes 18% more tax on
in nutrients and low in calories. The Brazilian one of the largest tax
Many of the Latin American countries are against unhealthy diet practices. For
instance, the Government of Chile has imposed restrictions on unhealthy foods
without proper labeling and eco-friendly packaging. The Chilean government also
imposes 18% more tax on sugary drinks, making it one of the largest tax imposers in
this criterion. This will substantially increase the price for end-users, forcing them to
eventually shift from high sugar drinks to alternative waters like maple water.
The plant-based diet and organic foods are making Costa Rica one of the healthiest
nations in the world. In Costa Rica, the demand for alternative water like maple water
can be a potential aspect, enabling vendors to slowly capture the market share of
coconut water during the forecast period. On the other hand, the lack of awareness of
maple water remains a great challenge to the vendors looking to enter the market in
this region.

It is found that more than 61% of consumers in Brazil and more than 62% of
consumers in Mexico want more sustainable and healthier products with transparent
labeling. It is also estimated that more young adults of this region are focussed on
healthy diets and low sugary drinks. Thus, the millennials are found to be the major
end-users for maple water. In the Dominican Republic, the preference of consumers
for flavored waters can encourage maple water producers to introduce flavored maple
water in the country.
The requirement of authentic, clean labels has surged in the Latin American food and
beverage industry. There is always pressure for producers to reduce the inclusion of
artificial ingredients and provide products that are gluten-free and GMO-free. This
can substantially improve the purchasing decisions of consumers. In the case of
maple water, this can be a major trend that drives market sales during the forecast
period.
With the growth of fitness and sports enthusiasts, the number of regular gym-goers
has increased in the region. Brazil is home to the second-largest gym and fitness
industry. Hence, gym-goers can be targeted to promote the product in the initial
stage, where maple water can act as an effective alternative to health and sports

Brazil, which is the largest economy in Latin America, is the largest market for maple
water in the region. The people of Brazil are consistently shifting towards low calorie
and low sugary drinks and away from the artificial and high sugary drinks. With the
enormous success of coconut water, which holds the maximum share in the
alternative water segment in Brazil, the confidence level of maple water producers
has been boosted, thereby encouraging them to launch new products and varieties in
the country aiming for a similar success rate.
The maple water market in Brazil was valued at $16.47 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $85.41 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 31.56%.

The market size of packaged organic food and beverages was $86.6 million in 2017
and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% during the period 2017−2022. The per
capita spending on organic food stood at $0.41 in Brazil. While most of the
conventional producers are trying to invent a new product line for offering organic
products, which involves an expensive and complex manufacturing process, the
introduction of organic and natural maple water without much processing cost serves
as an advantage for producers.
Brazil, being the second-largest market for the gym and fitness segment, is home to a
large number of fitness enthusiasts. It is estimated that more than 30% of the people
who go to gyms are more than 60 years of age. They are more concerned about the
health and always prefer natural drinks over conventional drinks. This can be an
additional driver for the maple water adoption in the fitness segment and can be sold
in health and wellness specialty stores to attract the young sports personnel as well.
With more than 39% of consumers citing fast hydration as the reason for buying
drinks, maple water is a pioneer in offering hydration. This is also evident from the
fact that more than 35% of the beverage consumers claim to spend more money on
drinks that are made with the most natural and eco-friendly production.
Since Brazil is facing some environmental issues like drought, more efforts are taken
by the government to enhance sustainable production methods. Accordingly, maple
water packaged in paper boards can witness higher growth when compared to other
forms of packaging. Efforts can be made by the players to focus more on various sizes
of 330 ml and 500 ml paper boards to boost the on-the-go convenience for
consumers.
Mexico is the second-largest economy in Latin America and can be a potential market
for maple water during the forecast period. With the contamination of Mexico’s
culture and identity with junk foods and sugary beverages, the people of Mexico are
shifting to a more healthy and natural diet. In addition to this situation, the high taxes
levied for more calorie content by the government is driving people towards organic,
low-calorie supplements.
The maple water market in Mexico was valued at $7.86 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $35.38 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 28.49%.

With Mexico being the second-largest country in the world in terms of obese people,
people are more cautious in consuming sugary beverages. The introduction of maple
water as an alternative to these sugary drinks with nutritional benefits will be a
gamechanger in the organic beverage industry. Although there is a rising demand for
organic products, there is not much scope for domestic production in the country,
making it a huge importer of organic products like maple water from Canada, the US,
and other European countries.
The supermarkets and convenience stores are the major distribution channels for
organic products across the country. Moreover, it is also estimated that one-fourth of
the consumer retail expenditure happens through convenience stores across the
country. Thus, introducing the product through convenience stores is the best choice
for maple water players to gain wider acceptance of the product. Eventually, the
distribution can also focus on well-established online distribution channels to attract
the young fitness and sports enthusiasts, particularly the millennials and generation
Z who are highly health-conscious and prefer low calorie and organic drinks like
maple water.
The MEA region was the lowest revenue contributor to the global maple water market
in 2019. The maple water market in MEA generated revenue of $16.36 million in
2019 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 31.98% to reach $86.50 million by 2025.
The minute share can be due to the low penetration and upcoming preference for
organic products among consumers. The awareness of the benefits offered by maple
water is also low and needs to be communicated effectively to achieve market growth
during the forecast period.

The organic food and beverage market in the MEA region is expected to generate
$18.42 billion by 2022, which translates into a 14.4% CAGR from 2015. This is backed
up by consumers following a healthy diet pattern, which includes low calorie and no
preservative food items and beverages. To cater to the high demand for organic
products, more than 60% of the retailers have increased their shelf space for organic
products. In some countries such as the UAE, the retail outlets' sales increased by
200% in 2018 when compared to that in 2016. These are the favorable drivers for the
growth enhancement of maple water.
While the countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia are regarded as the potential
markets in the MEA region due to high consumer awareness and disposable income
levels, countries like South Africa, Morocco, Egypt, and Iran are considered as the
upcoming markets due to the growing economy and preference for healthy food and
diets. The organic products are also gaining popularity in these regions owing to the
unique benefits offered.
The sudden growth in demand for organic products is due to the rising youth
population in the MEA countries, especially in the UAE, where the natives account
for only 15% of the total population. These countries are making efforts to drive the
organic product sales with more focus on the health-conscious young population of
the region who are the primary targets for trying out new products in the market.
In countries like Israel, the concept of veganism is gaining popularity along with
vegetarianism. Due to the increased diet restrictions in the country, there is also a
surge in the market growth for gluten-free and GMO-free products. With a greater
number of retail outlets and restaurant chains serving natural drinks, products like
maple water, which is a low-sugar alternative for most of the conventional drinks, can
be promoted via these outlets during the forecast period.
More consumers in the MEA region are cautious spending on food and beverages
while reading the description of ingredients on labels. Clean labels are playing a major
role in achieving the growth of new products. In that case, maple water has been
certified by various authorities that prove it to be gluten-free, GMO-free, and 100%
organic in nature. There is a recent trend for the growth of organic labels in the food
and beverage industry in the MEA countries due to the high demand for
sustainability.

As in other regions, the unflavored maple water accounted for a major share of
56.14% in the MEA region. This can be due to the consumers’ willingness to try the
new product in the authentic natural flavor without any additional essence. Once the
market for maple water improves, there will be considerable additions of flavored
maple water during the forecast period, which is expected to generate revenue of
$30.35 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 35.53%.
With the growing investments from retailers, a greater number of hypermarkets and
supermarkets are coming up in Egypt. The grocery market also grew by 9% in 2019,
owing to the demand from health-conscious consumers. Accordingly, the
supermarkets and hypermarkets are the largest revenue generators in the MEA
region, contributing $6.08 million in 2019. Due to the rising trend of discounters in
many MEA countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, it is considered to be the
fastest mode of distribution, growing at a CAGR of 36.57% following online sales at
37.51% during the forecast period.
Since most of the MEA countries are eco-friendly and promote sustainability,
packaging through paper boards is the most preferred option for achieving market
success. Existing coconut water makers already follow a similar pattern in these
countries. Since mostly 350 ml and 500 ml of packaged coconut water are sold in
paper boards, maple water is also following the same strategy, thereby offering on-
the-go functionality to consumers. Accordingly, paper boards accounted for a 73.11%
share in terms of packaging in the global maple water market in 2019. To promote
durability and long-term consistency, the use of pet bottles for packaging is on the
rise and is expected to account for a share of 27.85% by 2025, generating revenue of
$24.09 million.

The growing demand and interest in pursuing a healthier lifestyle is the major reason
for maple water to gain popularity and acceptance in the UAE. Since more than 85%
of the population in the country are expatriates, the mixed culture and preferences
among consumers can also enhance the growth of new products like maple water. The
high awareness level and increased per capita income due to the high number of
working professionals from other countries make maple water an ideal choice among
the health-conscious people.

consumers think that the consumption of organic food is healthy, and 21% prefer
them for the welfare of the environment.
Since only 2% of the foods and drinks launched in 2017 claimed to have an organic
label, there is an opportunity for new products like maple water to enter and
dominate the unexplored markets of the country. Due to the demand for health-
oriented and organic products, retailers, have expanded their shelf space by 60% to
accommodate more healthy beverages. With the newly launched e-organic food
websites, vendors can also enhance their sales through these online channels to
penetrate the market further, especially among the millennials, who spend 4.5–6
hours on the internet every day on an average.

content.
65% of the people are not willing to buy a
product with unwanted ingredients in the
beverages. More than 44% of consumers wish to consume beverages with reduced
sugar content. These are the vital drivers for the rapid adoption of maple water in the
country since it fulfills all the basic health requirements of the population.
Due to their high disposable income, especially the millennials and generation Z
consumers, people are willing to spend more on innovative health-conscious
products like organic and natural foods that are free from gluten and GMOs. With the
surge in the youth population, the number of sports and fitness enthusiasts is growing
every day, including 30% of the female population. These people are the primary
targets for market players since they consider the product as an alternative to sports
drinks, thereby helping in the early adoption of maple water in the market. Riyadh,
which has a greater number of fitness centers, can be the vital location for the
distribution of maple water through specialty stores like fitness stores, followed by
Makkah due to its wealthy and health-oriented population.
With the number of retail stores growing past 50,000 in Saudi, there is a scope for
players to engage more distribution networks through supermarkets and
hypermarkets. With the e-organic stores on the rise, players can sell their maple water
through their primary websites or other platforms to capture the young adults and
health-conscious population.
In a growing economy like South Africa, the growth of various industries like food
and beverage plays a vital role. With the rising concerns about health awareness,
more than 74% of the population are willing to change their diet based on health and
nutrition. In recent years, the demand for bottled and natural drinks with health
benefits are on the rise to prevent health risks. This is the ideal time where products
like maple water can enter the market and compete with the dominant presence of
coconut water in the African region. The low number of early adopters in the country
can try out maple water, which can pose a considerable challenge to coconut water
during the forecast period.
The maple water market in South Africa was valued at $4.27 million in 2019 and is
expected to reach $24.2 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 33.51%.

Due to the low awareness in the country, the purchase of expensive organic products
like maple water may be restricted. Thus, the concept of limited product testing can
be promoted by companies in this region. This can help companies in promoting their
products and enhancing the adoption and penetration rate in the country. They can
also enhance in-store product testing of the product regarding its uses and benefits,
which can be demonstrated by personnel to develop trust among consumers using
maple water.
With the rising internet penetration in the region, millennials are the major driving
force for organic products in the country. They are also concerned about health and
fitness, which prompts them to rely on nutritious diet habits. Due to the increased
interest in personal health, there is a surge in the number of specialty stores to cater
to these needs. They are the fastest growing distribution channels after supermarkets
in South Africa.
Since supermarkets are the largest sales channel for health-conscious consumers, the
players can adopt them as the major distribution channel of choice. The retailers also
have extended shelf space to hold a greater number of organic foods and beverages,
which is a positive factor for maple water sales. Thus, new players entering the market
can try out a combination of different sales channels based on consumer interest and
penetration level. They can also try to differentiate the product from coconut water
through price modification and its additional benefits and uses as a sweetener in
preparation of many foods, thereby propelling the market growth during the forecast
period.
COMPETITIVE
ANALYSIS
20 COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The growing market for maple water is prone to a lot of developments during the
forecast period. There is not much awareness about the product among most of the
global consumers, which is a major challenge that market players must overcome.
The education and communication of its benefits as
Maple water in the US has a valuable substitute for coconut water can
grown more quickly than promote its sales to a greater extent and help in
in the UK due to the better market penetration. Accordingly, the UK
availability of more and Europe brand manager for Drink Maple, Alicia
number of maple water Cooper, said, “The launch of educational
brands to help expand the campaigns in the UK will be key to replicating US
market and create success.”
awareness about it.
After North America, the major focus of the
vendors is on countries with a similar taste preference in the European market. This
might include the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and Spain as the major potential
markets. Based on this, Drink Maple has extended its distribution in UK
supermarkets chains such as CSN, Epicurium, Marigold, Diverse Fine Foods, JD’s
Wholesale, and Infinity Foods. This can be followed by the other vendors, too since
the UK is considered to be the biggest market in the European region.
Efforts are also required to promote brands that are similar to Drink Maple; several
vendors have given a demo of their products in grocery stores and sponsoring the
product in races, yoga gatherings, and other festivals. This can create a potential sales
conversion among the early adopters and innovators with superior communication
of the benefits of maple water. Similarly, brands can even advertise with the help of
many ambassadors from sports and fitness fields, which can help convey the essential
details to the target consumers.
For products like maple water, product innovation and development are a major
differentiator. Accordingly, more players like Tretap, Drink Simple, and Sap Sucker
can introduce sparkling maple water, which has a potential opportunity to gain sales.
Flavors can also be introduced based on the preference of people in that particular
country since the demand for flavors and carbonated drinks is a popular trend in
recent years. Introducing maple water in cans can increase their shelf life and
durability along with increased storage space for distributors.

Mergers and acquisitions can play a major role in expanding the distribution channels
and outlets across regions. Ceres Natural Remedies, which is Vermont-based hemp-
derived CBD retailer, acquired Vermont-based Tretap, a leading beverage company.
Together they developed a new range of sparkling maple water beverages that are
available in grocery stores throughout the US and Canada. Since the tapping and
distribution of the maple water are not certain due to changes in climatic conditions
in the Quebec forests, the success criteria also are impacted by the strength and
efficiency of the logistics department.
Few brands like Sap Sucker, which is available in more than 50 retailers in North
America, including The Big Carrot, The Healthy Butcher, Pusateri’s Fine Foods, and
Whole Foods Market, are finding a new way to strengthen their presence in the
market. Despite launching them in eco-friendly tetra packs to promote sustainability,
they are also launching the products in more than 50 Toronto and Beaver Valley
restaurants that are serving maple water in glass jugs with a Sap Sucker label and logo
in it. Through this, they are conveying the benefits of maple water as an alternative to
sparkling water along with marketing their product. This is a unique strategy that can
define growth in times of intense competition.
Most of the products from players like Drink Simple, Oviva, and Maple 3 are sold in
carton boxes in packs of 6 and 12 with some price benefits. This can increase sales
and volume of the product and can also help in better penetration among the existing
and new consumers in the market. For instance, a fitness center buying a pack of
maple water for their fitness enthusiasts as a vital rehydrating agent will make them
loyal consumers of the product for the rest of their life since the benefits acquired
from the maple water is better than that of conventional products. Hence, the market
players can also approach fitness centers individually to sell to their products as early
adopters. Selling through specialty stores might also be one of the effective ideas.
The launch of new products like maple water can be done in expos like Natural
Products Expo that was held in California, where Drink Maple got its fame and
identity. This can be effective in countries in APAC and Latin American regions where
there is not much awareness about maple water. This will help major brands to
market their products and deliver the health benefits of drinking maple water.
Securing distribution rights and engaging suppliers and stakeholders is the key to
success in the complicated maple water business. Moreover, the highly-priced maple
water when compared with alternative waters like coconut water is a major challenge
that players should focus upon. It will substantially take a longer time than expected
for expensive maple water to acquire the market share of coconut water. In price-
sensitive countries like India, although there are people that are willing to spend on
expensive organic products, the price reduction can be a point of differentiation that
can garner deeper market penetration.
Thus, to succeed in the fragmented maple water market which is in the growth stage
in most of the countries, with very much low awareness, differentiators like price
points, Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR), sustainable manufacturing process,
effective distribution and point of sales, promoting through brand ambassadors are
considered to be the key to success.
