Africa’s Sachet Water Boom: The Rising Need for Safe, Portable Hydration
Across Africa, access to clean drinking water remains a persistent challenge—especially in growing urban and peri-urban areas where infrastructure can’t keep pace with population growth. In this context, sachet water—small, sealed pouches typically containing 200–500ml of purified water—has become a daily essential.
Whether it’s the streets of Lagos, the outskirts of Nairobi, or the schools of Accra, millions of people rely on sachet water for convenient, affordable hydration. And behind this booming demand is a new wave of entrepreneurs launching automated sachet water businesses—empowered by reliable, easy-to-use machines like those from DGX Machinery.
