Earlier Report Observations

The Danish market for mineral and aerated waters declined in 2019, a movement linked to municipal obligations to review groundwater protection zones to reduce pesticide contamination, which affected raw water sources for production. A rebound followed in 2020 as ongoing regulatory focus on environmental and food safety, including packaging and labeling requirements, helped maintain market stability and consumer confidence.

Steady growth resumed from 2021, primarily fueled by increased consumer focus on health and sustainability, which raised demand for natural mineral water without additives. This expansion was reinforced by key regulatory developments, such as the 2022 tightening of drinking water quality standards for PFAS substances and significant state funding for groundwater protection projects. Furthermore, the 2022 establishment of a new service company owned by NK-Forsyning and SK Forsyning impacted market servicing and distribution. Subsequent EU taxonomy rules and amendments to the Water Supply Act continued to shape the operating environment, supporting a market volume increase to 152.6 million liters by 2024.
