Who are the consumers?
Many people buy and use hydration packs. Originally, they were invented for cyclists, but have since then appealed to many more groups. They are very common among marathon runners and other endurance athletes. But you don’t have to be an athlete to benefit from hydration packs. They can be very useful for many outdoor activities such as hiking, fishing, and hunting. Hydration packs also make it easier to stay hydrated while doing chores such as mowing the law, gardening, and farming. Also, the United States military has signed a contract with CamelBak, making hydration packs the official hydration system of the military. Most people, if not everyone, could find that hydration packs are extremely useful, beneficial, and easy to use.

Social Impact
With so many manufacturers and retailers, it has allowed the price of hydration packs to be competitive for consumers. Consumers have a variety of packs to choose from and are able to make a decision based on the quality, price, size, color, type, and brand that is the best fit for them and their needs. With this growing demand for hydration packs, it is also helping to create jobs all the way from the manufacturers and producers to the transporters and retailers. Hydration packs are more popular and available than ever before, and I believe the demand will continue to grow.
