However, despite wanting to choose soft drinks, customers also think about the negative effects soft drinks would have on health. With the introduction of flavored water, the gap between plain water and a beverage or a soft drink has been narrowed. It serves as a product that offers good taste, besides not posing risk to one's health.

United Kingdom (UK) even though is located geographically in Western Europe, the market for bottled water resembles they way it is in the Eastern European countries. In the United Kingdom and in northern Europe, there is no established tradition of NMW. People have come to know about NMW only recently, and hence, demand is expected to rise. The scenario in Eastern Europe is different. Here, consumers are well aware of the product, but the market for NMW is in the development stage.

Societies that have failed to secure a sustainable means of food production have failed to survive. Food scarcity has been a driver of evolution throughout the ages where populations of organisms have exploited unique opportunities to find food. Plants evolved out of the sea to find more sunlight in terrestrial environments, and animals followed them. The same is true today as the evolution of agricultural production is undergoing its latest metamorphosis: the organic revolution.
