Abstract

Indian bottled mineral water brand Bisleri International (Bisleri) launched its first overseas operations in UAE in partnership with Gulf Company Nasser Abdulla Lootah Group. The company had been eyeing global expansion for a very long time. The company targeted countries with a large diaspora of Indian population for its international expansion. With its UAE foray, Bisleri took its first step toward global expansion. The UAE bottled water market was highly competitive, but it also had tremendous potential due to water scarcity in the region. The UAE bottled water market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% through 2030 due to an increasing number of immigrants and the growing tourism industry. Furthermore, nearly 30% of the country's population comprised Indian expatriates who had a strong connection with the brand. Would Bisleri be successful in the UAE? Would the UAE market pave the way for further global expansion for Bisleri?
