Executive summary

Growing disposable income is the strongest and most stable market factor

Volume and value growth of soft drinks in Bosnia-Herzegovina was driven by growing disposable income during the review period. The 1992-1995 war disrupted a favourable consumption pattern, setting Bosnians’ quality of life back decades. Industry experts claim that consumption of soft drinks will not regain pre-war levels until at least 2017. Nevertheless, substantial recovery has been made. Initially, consumption grew mainly thanks to many humanitarian foreign donations. In 2001, the Bosnian economy started to show signs of recovery and consumption switched to growth based on internal sources, ie growing disposable income. Although many new trends have started to dictate soft drinks in Bosnia-Herzegovina (health and wellness, innovation, expansion of supermarkets/hypermarkets, etc), growing disposable income is still the strongest and most stable factor influencing volume and value growth rates.

Hot weather drives volume and value sales

Unusually hot weather in 2007 supported strong volume growth of soft drinks. The hot summer brought many problems to the people of Bosnia-Herzegovina, including tap water shortages, wild fires near large urban centres and health problems. Although all soft drinks benefited from this extremely hot weather, bottled water, powder concentrates and RTD tea profited the most. Other trends, such as growing disposable income, health and wellness and innovation strengthened in 2007, but none came close to having the same impact as the hot weather.

Nationality dictates consumption patterns

Distribution capability is the most important factor determining the face of the competitive landscape in Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is almost a rule across all fast-moving consumer goods markets in Bosnia-Herzegovina that the producer able to ensure availability of its products throughout every part of the country requires little else to become the leader. A good example is Coca-Cola HBC Bosnia-Herzegovina doo’s bottled water brand Olimpia. Although not having a good image among consumers and being more expensive than most other brands, Olimpia still managed to lead off-trade value sales of bottled water in 2007. Most soft drinks products in Bosnia-Herzegovina are distributed locally or regionally, with only a few claiming national distribution. The reason for this situation is intense national pride (patriotism or nationalism), which dictates the behaviour of three large ethnic groups in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Serbs prefer Serbian brands, Croats prefer Croatian brands and Bosnians prefer their own brands. Although the growing influence of supermarkets/hypermarkets on distribution patterns is likely to change this, nationality still dictated consumption patterns in 2007.

Suppliers prefer large retail chains over other distribution channels

Strong growth of supermarkets/hypermarkets continued in 2007. Once centralised in major cities, large retail networks are spreading throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina. Local players, including Tropic (recently acquired by the Serbian retail chain Delta), Fis and VF komerc (recently acquired by the Croatian retailer Konzum), and regional players such as Merkator and Interex are continuing to expand their networks. The increasing volume share of supermarkets/hypermarkets in soft drinks is also changing local distribution patterns. Many producers are choosing to avoid previously dominant local distributors, and sell their products directly to large retailers. Suppliers state that they prefer to cooperate with large retail chains, as these guarantee them greater security in honouring payment agreements, as well as the possibility of more effective in-store promotion.

Health and wellness trend set to change market appearance

Over the forecast period, the previously established trends are expected to continue. The health and wellness trend is likely to gain more strength as growing disposable income produces a stronger target group of health-aware consumers. Health and wellness is expected fully to change the appearance of soft drinks in Bosnia-Herzegovina, leading to substitution of regular carbonates with low-calorie carbonates, growing consumption of fruit/vegetable juice, functional drinks, RTD tea and still bottled water, and declining consumption of liquid concentrates and carbonated bottled water.
