In 2022, per capita consumption of bottled water amounted to roughly 46.5 gallons in the United States. Bottled water includes drinking water sold in plastic as well as glass bottles. The amount of bottled carbonated and still water that the average American consumes has increased significantly over the past two decades.
In the United States, about a fifth of consumers drank mostly bottled water in 2018. Despite being continuously monitored for safety reasons and being much cheaper than bottled water, only around 10 percent of Americans drank tap or filtered water exclusively that year.
