As the suppliers include municipal water system, bottles and plastic cap, label printer filtration and deionization equipment, plastic grains and etc. Sometimes the bargaining power of suppliers is depends on geographical location and the technology adopted by the organization. The recyclable bottle used by the company needs advanced technology The large availability of suppliers leads to less bargaining power.

The bargaining power of buyer is depends on the price and product. As the competition is not much high, there are mainly five to ten producer like. The product differentiation is almost zero, so the bargaining power of customer is low.

? Substitute product:
? ? ? The availability of substitute is coffee, soft drink, juice and tea. The availability of various health drinks, juice, carbonic and no carbonic drinks and availability of taste changed the consumer preferences. Consumer is using various health drinks, carbonic and non carbonic drinks to quench the thirst.

? Rivalry:
? ? Market is almost in saturation state, and the industry refers the oligopoly competition so there is a high competition to increase the market share. The market is dominated by the very few players like bisleri (%), aquafina (%), kinley (%) and oxyrich, and they are trying to increase their market share by product introduction, price, packaging and volume of water. As there is no much difference among the product by different competitor, the rivalry is only in terms of service and of marketing strategy. The intensity of rivalry is low as there is limited player and the product is not price sensitive
