Research and Markets Announces the Addition of This New Report Entitled 'UK
Water Coolers 2004' to Its Offerings
Water
Cooler Popularity: Continuing to 'Heat Up'
DUBLIN, Ireland, Jul 13, 2004 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com)
has announced the addition of UK Water Coolers 2004 to their offering.
Over the years, the UK water cooler opportunity has continued to 'heat up',
as did the UK's offices for significant periods in the summer of 2003. Hot
summer weather in 2003 fundamentally contributed to the volume gains
experienced by the UK water cooler industry.
Water coolers have persisted in leading the charge for bottled water as a
whole in recent years. Yet alongside bulk formats, small pack bottled water
also saw strong volume gains in 2003 - again boosted by hot summer weather.
In the UK, water coolers are a well-established concept and the UK remains
tremendously important to the European water cooler scene. However,
competition has intensified within the water cooler industry. 2003, and
early 2004, in particular saw heightened price competition amongst
established market players and newly amalgamated entities.
Industry consolidation has been dramatic, with major acquisitions from
Danone and Nestle in particular underlining that water coolers are of major
importance to the global bottled water giants. Many challenges remain ahead
for bottled water coolers, including the threat (or opportunity) from
plumbed in point of use water coolers, the elusive in-home segment and an
intensifying competitive environment.
The UK Water Cooler Report 2004 is broken down into 3 main sections:
