The data illustrates the share of the soft drink market in the UK in 2015 and 2016, by category. In 2016, the biggest share was held by juice drinks, accounting for 25.7% of the soft drink market, followed by bottled water (20%). The market share of soft drink types in the UK is predominantly made up of carbonates, with the value of the market experiencing year on year increases. Levels of consumption, on the other hand, are decreasing and, with the incoming sugar tax levy due to be introduced in the Spring of 2018, the future of soft drink consumption remains uncertain.
