What is the current and future situation of the Turkish mineral water sector?
The beverage sector has a wide variety of portfolio no less than the eating sector. Since the major part of human body was created from water, the beverage sector is at an important position. As is the case for every thing, everybody should consume natural and healthy products. We should care for health as much as we care for tastes of drinks. When it comes to mineral waters. I believe that this market will develop and increase further in the future because the importance of mineralwater and its contribution to the health and healthy life is understood more every day. The easiest and heathiest way of regaining the minerals lost during the day is to drink healthy mineral water. Drinking mineral water has nothing to do with age, place or time. Moms who want their babies and themselves healthy, should drink mineral water during their pregnancy period to meet their daily calcium and magnesium requirement. They should get their babies to drink it so that they have healthy grow of teeth, bone and body development. If they drink during their young period they will have smooth skin in addition to meet their mineral requirements. They should get it when they are old against osteoporosis disease through the calcium to be taken from mineral waters. From this perspective, I can see that there will be a prominent place for the mineral water industry in Turkey because it is so healthy and useful and Turkey has a great potential for mineral waters.
