UK Using Almost 700,000 Water Coolers
April 3, 2009
10 years ago, there was a little over 200,000 water coolers in the UK market. This has risen by nearly 350% in ten years, reaching almost 700,000 by the end of 2008.
However, there was actually a drop of 3% from 2007, which had actually managed to break the 700k unit mark.
One significant change to note has been a increasing move from bottled water coolers over to ‘point of use’ water coolers. Point of use water coolers are those that are actually connected to a mains water supply rather than having to constantly purchase and change bottles. For the first time, point of use dispensers have accounted for more than a third of all water coolers in the UK.
Apparently there are now about 412 water coolers for every 1,000 VAT-registered companies in the UK, according to a report by Zenith International, a food and drink consultancy company.
According to Mark Groves, Zenith director:
“The UK market experienced very rapid growth through the 1990s and it has certainly slowed since then,” He continues; “Most employers now recognise the value of healthy hydration at work, but the economic downturn has led to a recent reduction in the overall number of locations.”
