Executive summary

Strong volume growth recorded for 2007

Total volume sales increased once more in 2007 after enjoying growth over 2005 and 2006. Growth in 2007 was higher than that recorded for the review period as a whole and clearly demonstrated the strong impetus the health & wellness trend has given to Danish soft drinks sales. Bottled water, fruit/vegetable juice and low calorie carbonates in particular have benefited greatly from this trend. New product launches, in particular Coca-Cola Zero, have also had a positive impact on 2007 volume growth.

Health & wellness concerns drive low calorie growth

Low calorie carbonates is a strong growth area within total Danish soft drinks sales. This is driven by the increased health awareness of consumers and their demand for soft drinks that meet their health & wellness concerns. Low calorie carbonates are perceived as “the healthy alternative” and are accordingly increasing their market share. Estimates for 2007 indicate that low calorie carbonates holds a market share of approximately 34% of total carbonates sales. This is a dramatic increase on the year 2000 results when low calorie carbonates had a market share of only 13%. This strong review period growth indicates how the health & wellness trend is dictating the direction of Danish soft drinks sales.

Domestic players dominate sales

The Danish soft drinks market is dominated by domestic players such as Carlsberg Danmark, Royal Unibrew, Rynkeby Foods and Aqua d’Or Mineral Water. Carlsberg and Royal Unibrew are the respective Danish licence holders of the brands Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola, and this is a key reason as to why these two domestic players have dominating positions within carbonate sales. Rynkeby Foods is the clear market leader within fruit/vegetable juice with a broad and varied product portfolio which no other market competitor can match. Aqua d’Or has benefited strongly from increased still bottled water sales in recent years and this has allowed the company to establish a market leadership position within bottled water.

Grocery outlets account for the bulk of sales

Grocery outlets such as discounters, hypermarkets and supermarkets control off-trade distribution. The growth in the number of discounter outlets on the market in recent years has allowed the channel to win share from supermarkets/hypermarkets in particular. This in turn has also facilitated the growth of private label sales. Convenience stores such as the 7-Eleven chain are an important distribution channel for less known and specialised soft drinks such as smoothies, RTD teas and energy drinks.

Volume growth expected over the forecast period

Danish soft drinks sales are expected to demonstrate strong volume growth over the forecast period. This increase will be driven by health & wellness focused segments of total sales such as low calorie carbonates and bottled water sales. The recent launch of Coca-Cola Zero on the market has boosted already strong low calorie carbonates sales in Denmark and the impact of this launch is expected to be carried forward into the forecast period.
