Bottled water industry in India

 Plastic bottle mould manufacturer in India

The global bottled water market estimated at USD 250 billion in 2018 is growing because of an acute awareness of the importance of safe drinking water for maintaining good health. Even the taste offered by the bottled water is playing a major role in the increasing demand in the market. Key players include Nestle, Danone, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, and the maximum sale of water bottles comes from the retail sector.

The bottled water market in India was estimated at 160 billion Indian Rupees in 2018 and is growing at a CAGR of 20%. It was expected to cross 400 billion rupees by 2023. In terms of volume, it translates to a whopping 35 billion litres. But these figures could see de-growth because of the COVID pandemic. The four main pack-sizes are 250 ml, 500 ml, 1000 ml and 2000 ml. 5 litre and 20 litre jars are also widely available. The 1 litre bottle is the most common and widely sold pack-size, contributing to nearly 40 percent of the market share, followed by 500 ml, 250 ml and 2 litres.

There are around 150 registered brands being bottled over 6000 locations across India. As per government bodies, namely Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), bottled water is governed under two categories: Packaged Natural Mineral Water and Packaged drinking water. The bottling plants are concentrated in the southern part of India, with 55% plants in four states. A bottling plant typically comprises machineries for water processing, bottle blowing, filling and capping, labelling and packing. Blowing machines are the starting point of the water bottle, and they range from manual and semi-automatic to fully automatic, producing bottles in the magnitude of thousands to lakhs every single day. The speed of these machines is expressed in terms of bottles per minute (bpm) or bottles per hour (bph). Key brands include Bisleri, Bailley, Kinley, Aquafina, Himalayan, Oxyrich, Rail Neer and Vedica, to name a few. Bisleri has the largest market share and is bottled across over 120 plants in India, followed by Kinley, Aquafina and Bailley.

Awanti Polymoulds manufactures blow moulds for water bottles of all pack-sizes to suit various blowing machines made by Sidel Synergy, Electropneumatic, Shyam Plastic among many others. With an experience of over 3 decades in the industry, Awanti is proudly associated with Bisleri, Bailley, Kinley, Oxyrich, Himalayan and many other brands for years together.

Bottled water industry is an ever-growing industry and Awanti aims to be a part of the success story of every Indian water brand!

Moulds for Better Shelf Life of PET Bottles

Before we talk about Shelf Life of  PET Bottles  let us first understand what does the term shelf life means. Shelf life is the duration of time period measured from the date of manufacture, that a good is likely to endure within its accepted product specification while stocked under defined conditions. Shelf life is characteristically stated in units of months, i.e. 12 months, 24 months, up to a limit of 60 months. The expression “shelf life” and “expiry date” is frequently interchangeably made use of in the industry, as both the terms reflect the same notion: there is a duration of time period where a good is stable and harmless for use. Shelf life/expiry dates suggests the time where a good will work both securely and efficiently. This is the reason why “shelf life testing” is also known as “stability testing”. The total amount of time a product can remain stable under specific environmental circumstances, equates to its shelf life. Now let us understand what shelf ...

Manufacturing of rotary-blowing moulds for a global soft-drink company across India

  Project duration: 8 months Project scope: – Technical and aesthetic design of a carbonated drink bottle, based on inputs from the customer – Testing of pilot mould and bottle samples as per international standards – Manufacturing of moulds for different rotary blowing machines (> 50 moulds) Project synopsis: The objective of this project was to design a common bottle for different flavours of carbonated drinks and manufacture moulds for six franchise-bottling operations of a global beverage brand in India. This was what we call a “full scale project”, which starts with designing the bottle, followed by pilot mould trials and ends with the manufacturing of commercial moulds for each franchise. Bottle designing Based on the customer inputs like product application, pack-size and perform weights, we initiated the process of designing the bottle With our in-house team of design engineers using state-of-the-art 3D modelling soft-wares, we gave the customer multiple design options, ...

Import Quality Preform Moulds from India

PET, an acronym for polyethylene terephthalate, is a synthetic resin of thermoplastic polymer, while a preform is an intermediate product that is ultimately blown up into containers or bottles. Preforms are manufactured from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and so they are called "PET Preforms." Over centuries, PET preform moulds have been manufactured in a particular manner. However, with modern plastic moulding materials, there has been a great advancement in the way they are manufactured now. The most recent mass production PET preform moulding machinery has been developed, and the latest PET preform moulds in steel and alloys have been introduced to withstand severe processes. Accuracy is the key requirement in present manufacturing, and PET preform plastics are manufactured by steadily mounting a high standard of precision, which requires modern machine tool applications and methods. While there are several PET blow mould manufacturers and suppliers all over the globe...
