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.
