Hydrogen Water Market: Introduction
- Hydrogen water is normal water that has extra hydrogen gas added to it. Normal water molecules are made of hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Generally in a water, the amount of hydrogen content is proportionate to the amount of hydrogen present in the Earth’s atmosphere. In case of hydrogen water, molecular hydrogen (a tasteless and odorless gas) is added to normal water. The market for hydrogen water is in the nascent phase and regulations concerning the use of hydrogen water have still not being enacted. Even in developed countries such as the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) only has a regulation that the amount of hydrogen gas in beverages, sodas, and drinking water must contain a maximum of 2.14% by volume. Several U.S. companies have either launched hydrogen water products or are expected to soon debut them in an attempt to lure consumers seeking natural, functional products. The market for hydrogen water is expected to expand significantly in the next few years.
Key Drivers and Opportunities of the Global Hydrogen Water Market
- According to research conducted by various scientists, it was found that hydrogen gas infused water improves athletic performance, reduces inflammation from exercise, and deliver powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants have immense health benefits. All these factors are increasing the demand for hydrogen water across the world. The concept of hydrogen water is still in the early phase and is anticipated to require substantial amount of time for the market to expand. Consequently, the market is projected to expand in the near future.
- Additionally, medical research conducted by Medical Gas Research in 2011 for effects of drinking hydrogen-rich water on the quality of life of patients treated with radiotherapy for liver tumors found that drinking hydrogen-rich water reduced reactive oxygen metabolites in the blood and maintained blood oxidation potential. This is further expected to drive the market for hydrogen water during the forecast period.
- Hydrogen water beverages face two main issues. There is inconsistent level of added hydrogen in different products, and there's no regulatory oversight requiring a standardized level. The other issue is that hydrogen tends to leak through glass or plastic containers, so products need to be consumed fairly quickly after opening in order to receive the advertised benefits. These factors are expected to restrain the hydrogen water market during the forecast period.
North America and Europe to Hold Major Share of Global Hydrogen Water Market
- In terms of region, the global hydrogen water market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America
- North America and Europe are expected to dominate the global hydrogen water market, in terms of share, during the forecast period. Increase in awareness among the people of these regions regarding the benefits associated with the hydrogen water is expected to propel the market for the hydrogen water during the forecast period.
