Abstract

The main objective of this research paper is to analyse the reasons for bottled water consumption in Mexico and consumer perceptions. It was conducted a systematic literature review using the Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) and the STROBE Checklist. The study design was chosen because it involves the utilisation of explicit and reproducible methods for searching, appraising and synthesising information on the topic. Electronic searches were conducted via Web of Science and Scopus, with articles published between 1987 and 2022 being identified. The articles were then screened for relevance, applicability, validity, and reliability. The data extraction process involved the use of the Systematic Review Data Repository (SRDR). The tool is web-based and seminal in the extraction and management of data for systematic review. A total of 26 articles were identified which offered a historical review of bottled water consumption in Mexico. The articles cite that the spike in demand for bottled water is caused by organoleptic and health perceptions among the customers. The perceptions are traced back to the 1985 earthquake and cholera outbreak in 1991, which caused water scarcity and contamination issues. The research is novel, with a review of the articles showing there is an apparent dearth of knowledge with regards to the main reason why Mexico is the number one consumer of bottled water. The information presented is seminal in helping public administrators improve water supply service quality and customer satisfaction rates.

墨西哥瓶装水消费的原因和消费者观念

本研究论文的主要目的是分析墨西哥瓶装水消费的原因和消费者的看法。采用系统评价首选报告项目(PRISMA)和STROBE检查表进行系统文献综述。选择研究设计是因为它涉及使用明确和可重复的方法来搜索，评估和综合有关该主题的信息。通过Web of Science和Scopus进行电子搜索，确定了1987年至2022年间发表的文章。然后筛选文章的相关性，适用性，有效性和可靠性。数据提取过程涉及到使用系统评审数据存储库(SRDR)。该工具是基于网络的，在系统审查的数据提取和管理方面具有开创性。总共确定了26篇文章，提供了墨西哥瓶装水消费的历史回顾。文章指出，瓶装水需求的激增是由消费者的感官和健康观念引起的。这种看法可以追溯到1985年的地震和1991年爆发的霍乱，它们造成了缺水和污染问题。这项研究是新颖的，对文章的回顾表明，关于墨西哥是瓶装水的头号消费国的主要原因，人们显然缺乏知识。所提供的信息在帮助公共行政人员提高供水服务质量和客户满意度方面具有开创性意义。
