Global packaged water consumption to overtake carbonates

A new Canadean report predicts that packaged water will overtake global carbonates consumption, reaching over 233 billion litres in 2015, while carbonates are expected to grow at a slower pace to around 227 billion litres. Back in 2010 the global population consumed only 170 billion litres of packaged water, compared to 215 billion litres of carbonates.
Emerging countries will drive this trend in the future, while western countries with traditionally high packaged water consumption will be slipping down the growth rankings. China and India are predicted to account for around 50% of the world’s additional packaged water consumption in 2020 (Press Release Canadean, 21 April 2015).
