While water prices doubled in 2022, at the beginning of this year, the carboy was increased by 5-8 TL according to the brand. Last month, some brands increased 7.5 TL. In the packaged water market in Turkey, where 300 brands operate, the average carboy water price exceeded 50 liras. GetirSu Vice President Hakan Kal said, “It wouldn’t be a surprise if there is a new price increase in water this month and July. As water prices increased, consumers turned to brands that sell low-priced water from high-priced brands. Explaining that the annual consumption of bottled water per capita in Turkey is 125 liters, Kal said that the packaged water market shrank by 4 percent in 2022 due to high price increases.
