food and drink consultancy Zenith Global, commented: “The market for water changed dramatically in the past two years with COVID-19 disruption, health appreciation and environmental urgency.

going ‘Beyond Hydration’, which is our congress theme. But where beyond? That is the question we shall be seeking to answer," he concluded.
