In total, almost 1.5 billion liters of calorie-reduced spritzers, colas and lemonades were bottled in 2020. All non-alcoholic beverages together come to a volume of around 25 billion liters. "Mineral and table water - also unsweetened by nature - accounted for the lion's share (53 percent). A good 34 percent was accounted for by soft drinks such as cola and lemonade, spritzers, flavored water and vitamin drinks. Other non-alcoholic beverages, such as fruit juices or tea drinks, made up the rest."
