Executive summary

Soft drinks industry witnessed a record in total current value sales in 2008

Soft drinks products registered a record performance in total current value sales in 2008 when compared to the review period (2003-2008). Several factors favoured sales in 2008, such as increasing demand for healthy beverages like light carbonates and RTD fruit/vegetable juice as well as consumers changing from alcoholic drinks to non-alcoholic counterparts after the implementation of the new drinking and driving law in Brazil in June 2008. Also, the rising consumer purchasing power at least until September 2008, facilitated market penetration in sectors such as carbonates and RTD fruit juices.

New products enjoy excellent results in carbonates and bottled water

H2OH! Zero Açúcar and Coca-Cola Zero, new products introduced by AmBev and Coca-Cola Brasil in 2006 and 2007, respectively, registered a strong performance during the 2007-2008 period. For instance, Coca-Cola Zero became the third most popular brand within carbonates, while H2OH! Zero Açúcar – a typical example of a product that combines the characteristics of carbonates, bottled water and fruit juice with being sugar-free – has conquered people of all ages. Consequently, this brand held the first position in flavoured bottled water in 2008.

Multinationals ensured top positions in the soft drinks market

Coca-Cola ranked first in off-trade current value terms in 2008, showing increasing sales within the soft drinks market. With new brands incorporated in its portfolio after recent acquisitions, such as the Matte Leão brand in RTD Tea, Coca-Cola has developed new economic packaging such as refillable PET bottles focusing on low-end consumers. Cia Brasileira de Bebidas and Kraft Foods occupied the second and third positions in current value terms thanks to their participation in carbonates and concentrates, respectively. The first one due the success of H2OH! Zero Açúcar while the other because its constant investments in launches of new value-added products in health and wellness products and 2-in-1 products like the Tang Tangolé brand.

Store-based retailing channels represented the majority of sales of soft drinks

products in 2008

Store-based retailing – in particularly supermarkets/hypermarkets and independent small grocers – continued to be the key off-trade distribution channel for soft drinks products, representing 88% of off-trade value share in 2008. Despite its leadership, supermarkets/hypermarkets decreased by nearly two percentage points in terms of overall shares during the review period, affected by sales of bottled water which were poached by the direct selling channel.

Soft drinks should see a positive constant value growth over the forecast period

Soft drinks market should see a good performance between 2009 and 2013 but will develop at a slower rate than that of the review period. Brazil should be less affected by the global credit crunch and financial crisis, however, the leading company, Coca-Cola, is adapting its strategy to face the possible negative effects on the domestic market, by improving its distribution network, and its resources in logistics and communication.

AmBev/PepsiCo should also continue to invest in its marketing for H2OH! Zero Açúcar. Furthermore, financial crisis is a threat but, at the same time, there exists an opportunity for some sectors to return to their former glory such as powder concentrates. Multinationals like Kraft Foods and regional companies should be aware of this and take advantage in the short-term.
