Executive summary

Natural products drive sales in soft drinks in 2008

Increased demand for natural products was observed in soft drinks in 2008. This trend strongly influenced all sectors of soft drinks. Consumer demand for purely natural products without artificial flavours, colorants or sweeteners led to growing numbers of new product launches. The segment of organic products benefited from this trend in particular. The search for healthier lifestyles continued to develop in 2008, with consumers increasingly paying attention to product ingredients.

Healthy growth in terms of both volume and value

Healthy growth in terms of volume as well as value was observed across most soft drinks sectors. The strongest growth in terms of both value and volume was registered in RTD coffee and functional drinks. Carbonates and fruit/vegetable juice both saw slight growth in value terms but registered volume decline. Concentrates and RTD tea performed well in terms of value as well as volume.

Domestic players lead, global players follow

The only two sectors of soft drinks led by international players in terms of value sales are carbonates and RTD coffee. The main reason for this is that carbonates have become a synonym for Coca-Cola Austria GmbH brands, while domestic RTD coffee producers are still establishing themselves as RTD coffee emerged on the Austrian market some 10 years ago. In spite of this, domestic players held runner-up positions in these sectors. All other sectors were led by domestic producers and brands in 2008. This indicates that Austrians very much appreciate domestic products, trusting them to use selected ingredients produced locally. Alongside domestic players, private label also performed well.

Off-trade channel dominates distribution of soft drinks

The off-trade channel outsold the on-trade channel across all sectors in volume terms in 2008. Retailers, such as supermarkets/hypermarkets and discounters, accounted for 79% of volume sales in 2008. These two outlet types are the undisputed leaders within the retail channel. Consumers have developed increasing preference for at-home consumption of soft drinks, reflected in a rise in volume share for the off-trade channel. The category of carbonates, among others, performed better in the off-trade channel in value terms, reflecting the consumer shift to home consumption.

Fair performance expected for soft drinks over the forecast period

Although many categories within soft drinks, such as concentrates, fruit/vegetable juice and concentrates are well established and have become relatively saturated, soft drinks are expected to see steady value growth while volume growth is likely to be rather slow. Sectors such as RTD coffee and functional drinks are expected to be the main drivers of growth over the forecast period as these still offer scope for innovation and new product launches as well as the extension of brand ranges.
