The Tunisian bottled water market is experiencing significant supply tensions, according to Lassâad Mzah, president of the Chamber of Non-Alcoholic Beverage Producers. These issues stem from a convergence of exceptional factors currently impacting the nation. Power outages are disrupting production, while a recent heatwave has dramatically increased consumer demand. Further exacerbating the problem are disruptions in the distribution of potable water. Mzah acknowledges a “frenzy of consumption” is contributing to the strain on available supplies. The situation highlights vulnerabilities in the country’s water infrastructure and the challenges of meeting peak demand during extreme weather events.
