- PepsiCo: Major beverage competitor with Aquafina in bottled water and Bubly in flavored sparkling water, distributing through similar mass-market retail and food service channels as Primo Brands.
- Keurig Dr Pepper: Multi-category beverage company with bottled water and flavored water brands (e.g., Deja Blue, Sparkling Ice) that compete in similar retail aisles and home delivery channels as Primo Brands.

- Suntory Holdings: Japanese beverage conglomerate that acquired Nestlé Waters' North American business including Arrowhead-headquartered operations; competes directly in regional spring water and bottled water categories overlapping with Primo's portfolio.
Direct peers
- National Beverage Corp. Pure-play non-carbonated beverage company best known for LaCroix sparkling water, the direct incumbent competitor Primo is targeting with the Saratoga Collection launch in the premium flavored sparkling segment.
