Experts are suggesting this coincides with the rise in popularity of bottled water and sports drinks that don’t contain fluoride (sugary juices and soft drinks are also likely culprits).
CHOICE and dental experts would like manufacturers to offer people the option of bottled water containing about 1 ppm of fluoride (the same as tap water in fluoridated areas).

Most likely due to the choices in food that children make. For instance, drinking sugary sodas and eating candies. This combined with poor brushing habits may contribute to tooth decay.

I don't know that it is. I'd say that, over my career, it is on the decrease. I'd have to see actual statistics to convince me otherwise.
If it IS on the increase, I'd blame permissive diet...
