Executive summary

Combination of warm weather and extra cash stimulates growth

Soft drink manufacturers had a pleasant surprise when 2006 turned out to be a warmer than average year with the World Cup to stimulate consumption. An increase in the minimum wage also provided a boost in consumer spending power, which further contributed to growth. Multinationals saw profits rise as consumers quenched their thirsts in on-trade establishments, with an increasing number of consuming soft drinks on an impulse basis.

Flavours entice consumers

From the renewal of flavoured water, to juice and carbonate mixes, consumers were offered a huge variety of flavours in 2006, which served to stimulate growth. Manufacturers innovated by offering local fruits such as graviola, cajá and açaí in concentrates, watermelon, pear and mixed flavours in fruit/vegetable juices, tangerine and mandarin in carbonates, as well as various flavoured waters and green RTD tea. Tangerine proved particularly popular throughout the year, as well as having a strong presence in on-trade fresh juice sales.

Competition heats up, resulting in lower unit prices

With the entrance of various local competitors in the juice environment, prices decreased and competition increased. In carbonates the beer battle between Coca-Cola Femsa and AmBev carried over to carbonates, resulting in falling prices as the summer arrived. In juices, Coca-Cola Indústrias implemented a massive campaign to strengthen its Minute Maid Mais brand, as Sucos Del Valle returned to media advertising, and smaller national companies expanded their fruit/vegetable juice portfolios. Unit price decreased slightly across the soft drinks board as a result of stronger competition throughout the market.

Health and wellness trend has notable effect

All major players launched tea variations, such as green tea during 2005 and 2006. The health benefits of green tea were rapidly accepted by Brazilian consumers and the variations brought renewed growth to both new and established products. Elsewhere in the soft drinks environment products with a fruit base proved increasingly popular, such as fruit-based carbonates, which saw notable growth over more traditional offerings. This trend also boosted the performance of low-calorie products.

Interest in functional products

In the struggle for higher margins and value, manufacturers are also turning towards functional products. There has recently been an increase in demand for beverages with added vitamins, made with healthy fruit content and an overall focus on the healthy functional side of beverages. Not withstanding the difficulty in labelling a product "functional" in Brazil, introduction of products that help burn calories, lower cholesterol and aid in digestion within the next year are expected to prove increasingly popular in coming years.

Health trend to remain in evidence over forecast period

The increased consumer interest in healthy products seen in 2006 is expected to continue in coming years. As a result, bottled water – the healthiest soft drink of all – is expected to see the most dynamic performance in both volume and value terms. Fruit/vegetable juice products are also expected demonstrate a strong performance due to their inherent healthy properties. Functional drinks are also predicted to see a strong performance, proving particularly popular among busy urban consumers seeking an on-the-go boost, for example. In contrast, products such as traditional cola carbonates are expected to lose share. Manufacturers will invest in increasing levels of advertising and promotion, promoting their products to specific consumer segments. The introduction of new flavours and fruit bases will continue to attract consumers and underpin overall growth.
