ATLANTA— Smartwater is entering the sparkling water segment with the launch of Smartwater Sparkling, a carbonated version of its signature vapor-distilled water that includes added electrolytes for taste.
The Coca-Cola-owned brand said the new product delivers the same crisp, purified taste consumers associate with smartwater, now with carbonation. The unflavored beverage is designed to appeal to consumers seeking a simple sparkling water option without added flavors or sweeteners.
Smartwater Sparkling will debut exclusively at Walmart, first becoming available on Walmart.com beginning Oct. 6 before rolling out to Walmart stores nationwide on Oct. 12. The brand plans to expand distribution nationally in 2027.
The product will be offered in multiple formats to support both at-home and on-the-go consumption, including 8-packs of 12-ounce cans, 6-packs of 0.5-liter PET bottles and single 20-ounce PET bottles. Pricing will vary by retailer.
The launch marks smartwater's latest effort to broaden its presence in the premium hydration category as the sparkling water segment continues to attract consumers looking for healthier beverage alternatives.
