Executive summary

Soft Drinks Sales Grow at a Fast Pace as Economy Improves

Strong economic performances in recent years have led to an increase in disposable income within Argentina. This in turn has translated into high growth rates for soft drinks, particularly healthy varieties such as functional drinks and fruit/vegetable juice. Bottled water also saw high growth rates as low- and middle-income consumers could now indulge themselves beyond tap water by purchasing these products, with a marked focus on flavoured bottled water.

Soft Drinks Benefits from Increased Health Awareness

Argentine consumers have become increasingly health conscious and are well informed about what they need to do to lead a healthy life. However, as in most of the world Argentine lifestyles have suffered as people dedicate more time to working in big cities where they often feel overworked and experience a perpetual lack of time. Soft drinks has benefited from this trend as consumers try to offset their stressful, fast-paced lifestyles by consuming products such as fruit/vegetable juice, sports and energy drinks, or vitamin- and mineral-enriched flavoured bottled water.

Multinational Companies Continue Increasing their Value Shares

The value shares of soft drinks sales held by multinational companies increased in 2008 due to new product introductions such as Powerade by Coca-Cola Argentina SA and Clight Spa by Kraft Foods Argentina SA, and as consumers largely preferred premium brands as well as products with health-related innovations. Global companies improved their positions at the expense of local competitors, which were increasingly under pressure to match the innovations of the multinationals.

Supermarkets/Hypermarkets Continues Gaining Share in Soft Drinks

Chained supermarkets/hypermarkets has continued increasing its share of soft drinks distribution as consumers have turned back to these retailers to make planned purchases as their disposable incomes rose. Consumers with higher disposable incomes can plan their purchases and are looking for convenience in terms of less time spent shopping as well as variety in brands. Towards the end of 2008 consumers also began appreciating the fact that chained supermarkets/hypermarkets typically offer better prices than other grocery retailers; to profit from this, supermarkets/hypermarkets began strong advertising campaigns highlighting special promotions and sales events towards the end of the year as consumers began watching their spending more closely.

Economic Downturn will Dampen Soft Drinks Value Sales Growth

The growth in soft drinks sales is expected to slow down during the forecast period as the effects of the economic downturn created by the world financial crisis are felt. Regardless of this, the overall pace of growth within soft drinks was expected to slow down anyway as this had been very fast during the years following the 2001-2002 Argentine economic crisis. During the review period recovery was possible given that the multinational companies launched many new products and that newer categories such as energy drinks, flavoured bottled water and sports drinks enjoyed incredible growth coming from small sales bases. The growth of GDP in Argentina is expected to decelerate significantly over the forecast period, and this will affect consumer purchasing patterns across most areas, including soft drinks.
