Market attractiveness of bottled beverage Raising awareness of health and fitness consciousness usually brings new trend in any industry, particularly in the food and beverage market. This is exactly what happened in 2006, where the forecast for global bottled beverage sales were predicted to reach 119 to 125 (billions of litres), 125-132 in 2007 so and so forth (Gamble, 255).
