Bottled water makers hope that sales can shine with new cellers.
Crystal Geyser hopes to translate bottled water dominance into a new shiny water line to the SELTZER category.
CG ROXANE, the owner of the brand, has announced the launch of Crystal Geyser Sparkling Alpine Spring Water. The line arrives in five flavors: nature, cherry, lime, orange and lemon.
Charlotte de la porte, vice president of marketing at CG ROXANE, said, “It is not only to satisfy the evolving demands of loyal customers, but also to attract new consumers who seek natural and high -quality drinks.”
Glittering water is made of spring water supplied from the facilities of New Hampshire. The brand is also made of 50% recycled pet plastics, so sparkling water packaging is promoted to be sustainable than standard water bottles.
The sparkling water category is still a popular alternative to sweet drinks, but has been slowed down in recent years. According to a beverage marketing company, sparkling water in 2022 and 2023 decreased by 4.9% and 3%.
The new launch struggled to catch up with existing brands such as LA CROIX and Polar. In 2023, Coca -Cola stopped selling AHA shiny water after sales declined sharply.
But the shiny water of Crystal Geyser can benefit from the wide range of brands. According to the company, the flagship Still Water is a spring water that is cited in the United States nationwide by quoting Circana data.
