Abstract
[Resumen] Desde un punto de vista histórico, la industria del agua embotellada ha pasado de ser un apéndice del negocio balneario a convertirse en una de las
actividades más importantes de la industria alimenticia en Europa. Este trabajo persigue dos objetivos básicos. Primero, conocer las diferentes etapas de
la historia empresarial del agua envasada y la confi guración de los grandes grupos empresariales que dominan el mercado actual. Con este fi n, se aporta
nueva información estadística sobre la producción y el consumo de agua embotellada desde una perspectiva de largo plazo y se reconstruyen las historias
empresariales de las principales marcas de agua envasada de Francia, Italia y Alemania, grandes líderes del mercado. Segundo, se analiza el sector de las
aguas embotelladas en España, un país que en las últimas décadas ha conseguido escalar posiciones de manera espectacular en el ranking europeo, tanto
en términos de producción como en consumo per cápita.
