Reasons To Buy
As the economy suffers, many clients are ending their contracts in a bid to reduce costs, as can be seen in Finland.

Marketing in France consists solely of business-to-business deals and partnerships.

Although some producers, such as in France and Denmark, can fill smaller packaging, there is no clear on-going demand for them as of yet.

Increasing fuel prices have put further pressure on the category. The higher cost of oil was passed on to clients, in addition to rising delivery costs.

Throughout West Europe there is little innovation, with no functional products being present on the market. It is thought though, that eventually, for example in Germany, vitamin or oxygen-enhanced waters could be brought in to offices and medical institutions.
