There have been a number of social and economic factors that have continued to drive the bottled water market forward. These include the acceptance of `buying water', with drinking bottled water becoming a more mainstream activity, in the late 1980s and through today, compared to being viewed more as exclusive or trendy, prior to that time. Additionally, changes in work and lifestyles have benefited the market and the acceptance of bottled water.
