The UK is a booming market for bottled water. The volume of prepackaged water bought in the UK will increase by more than 8% each year between 2001 and 2006, when over 2.1 billion liters will be sold. Yet the UK market will still be very small in comparison to some of its European neighbors: Germans will buy 9.5 billion liters of bottled water between them in 2006.
