An evaluation of macroenvironmental factors and consumer behaviour is an integral component of strategic planning. Current and potential fluctuations in the business climate can be monitored and forecasted by new market entrants through in-depth market research of internal and external governing factors. For this purpose, the Functional Water (FW) industry in Australia has been selected for the undertaken research. Analyses have been conducted on the macroenvironment and consumer patterns in the Australian FW market. The evaluation has revealed that Australia’s stable and favourable political, social, technological and economic environment reveal bright prospects for new market entrants in the FW industry. However, strict compliance with environmental and legal policies and regulations is essential to conduct businesses successfully. The supporting trends of the Australian consumer base towards healthy, energy and sports-related drinks has been identified. These trends have been reinforced by relevant marketing and consumer behaviour theories. Hence, it is recommended to invest in the FW industry and target the sports and energy drink segments to attract consumer attention and attain profitability. Utilization of the Marketing Mix (4P’s) concept and Ansoff Matrix tool is recommended for market entry, market penetration and development, and product diversification.
