Adverse Health Effects of Carbonated Drinks to Hamper Demand

There has been a decline in the sales of carbonated soft drinks from a couple of decades on account of adverse health effects. Health concerns regarding consumption of additives and high concentrated sugars will deter the consumers from consuming carbonated and flavored bottled drinks. On the other hand, the global increase in the disposable income and improved standards of people in emerging nations of Latin America, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa will drive the growth of this market. The use of plastic bottles leads to adverse effects on the environment and this will also affect the growth of the market. Stringent government policies and strict laws regarding the disposal of the bottles have led to negative publicity and affecting the bottled water market. The use of recyclable packaging solutions in the years to come will reduce the impact of this restraint.
