Channel prices rise, while end prices remain stable. Wahaha and Yibao have raised their supply prices, putting pressure on distributors in the bottled water price war.

Since June, many distributors have been posting on social media platforms, stating that starting from July 1st, the supply price of Wahaha purified water will increase by 0.5-1 yuan per case; also starting from July 1st, the supply price of CR Beverages Yi Bao bucket water will increase by 1 yuan per barrel.
