Egypt’s best bottled water brands – voted by consumers

In this article we reveal the best bottled water brands in Egypt. Results come from Sagaci Research’s proprietary consumer panel in Egypt, who completed the SagaBrand survey throughout Q2 2022. Read more below to find out which brands will sink or swim.

Understand consumer perceptions to get ahead of the competition

Although many Egyptians do drink tap water, perhaps out of necessity, many choose bottled water for taste, convenience or health reasons. As a result, bottled water provides a promising industry for non-alcoholic beverage manufacturers in the region. It is therefore essential for brand managers to understand how consumers perceive each brand on the market, in order to stay, or get ahead of the competition.

The best bottled water brands in Egypt

The below SagaBrand rankings reveal which brands people in Egypt think most highly of in terms of quality perceptions.

1. Nestlé
2. Flo
3. Dasani
4. Aquafina
5. Evian
6. Hayat
7. Safi
8. Masafi

Over 86% of respondents believed Nestlé to be a good quality brand of bottled water. Alkaline water – Flo – was significantly less well known (under 30% awareness) but scored highly for good quality. 72% of people who knew of the Flo water brand believed it represented a good quality brand. Another 25% knew the brand but were neutral in their quality perceptions. This is likely due to never having tried the water, as reflected in low purchase figures.

A continuous tracker allows you to monitor the impact of events such as a stock market listing

Earlier this quarter, Egypt approved pre-listing procedures for water company Safi, which was previously fully owned by the Egyptian army. This first step towards stock market listings could have a big impact on brand health. A continuous tracking tool, like SagaBrand, will track the progression of 16 KPIs over time. As a result, the data from before, during, and after the listing can be easily compared to help assess the brand health return on investment of the listing.
