The given pie chart compares the proportion of bottled water utilization in eight distinct regions as a percent of worldwide consumption in 1999 and the bar chart illustrates the increase of bottled water consumption in 2001.
Overall, it is discernible that Western Europe consumed the largest figure for bottled water with the slowest growth rate, while the number of bottled water in Asia made up the least but it had the fastest growth in 2001.
Looking specifically at the pie chart, Western Europe had a bigger share than others when it accounted for nearly a half of global use of bottled water. Following that was Australia with the percentage of 15% share. Four regions such as New Zealand, Latin America, Africa and Middle East had the small proportions made up between 5% and 13%. A mere packaged water in the USA took up the remaining 2% of the overall global consumption.
According to the bar chart, Asia’s growth rate had the largest figure, which accounted for 14%. It was around 2% higher than the rate of Latin America and New Zealand. Middle East and Africa had the same proportion for the growth change, comprising approximately 10%. Western Europe grew at just 2 percent, the smallest growth rate among all regions.
