Bottled Water is the Sweetheart of Packaging

Bottled water is forecasted to grow at a rate of 7.5% globally or an increase of 55 billion units between 2015 and 2020. PET remains the package of choice for water globally, but glass, and even metal containers, are recovering some lost market share due to premium bottled water offerings in North America, Western Europe and Brazil.
