In 2022, the average citizen of an EU member state consumed 98 liters of soft drinks per capita annually. The height of soft drink consumption was seen in 2011. However, since then consumption has fluctuated significantly.
UK market
Leading industrialized countries like the United Kingdom see a much higher consumption of soft drinks than the EU average. In 2018, a citizen of the UK consumed on average 211.1 liters of soft drinks. The country has seen the same overall trend in consumption. Large populous markets such as the UK are most likely the driver of overall developments in EU consumption. In spite of these developments market value has grown and is predicted to grow further.
