Executive summary

Soft drinks’ growth slows down in 2008

After years of dynamic expansion, soft drinks witnessed a slowdown in sales growth in 2008. Although some maintained their momentum the overall performance was impacted by government restrictions to curb the budget deficit, stagnant disposable income and economic downturn.

Changing consumer perceptions cause further shifts in soft drinks

As consumer perceptions continued changing due to growing health awareness, the shift from carbonates to bottled water and fruit/vegetable juice and nectars was maintained as more people sought healthier options. The key international players responded by investing heavily in marketing and advertising and new product developments in these more dynamic categories.

Szentkirályi grows in bottled water at the expense of multinationals

Szentkirályi (Vitapress Kft) has continued its momentum and it successfully grew its retail volume and value shares in bottled water at the expense of well-established multinational brands by companies such as Nestlé SA (Kékkuti Ásványvíz Rt), Coca-Cola Beverages Magyarország Kft and PepsiCo Inc (Fovárosi Ásványvíz és Üdítoipari Rt). Vitapress also used its experience in RTD tea to launch various new flavoured bottled water products in 2008.

Supermarkets/hypermarkets and discounters lead off-trade sales

Supermarkets and independent small grocers and convenience sores discounters continued to increase their retail volume shares in soft drinks in 2008. This is largely because these outlets tend to be located closer to households and therefore are more convenient. Moreover, marketers have successfully negotiated attractive prices for these large retail chains.

Economic downturn to impact forecast period performance

Global economic downturn will undoubtedly affect soft drinks consumption negatively. Traditional categories such as carbonates and fruit juices will witness stagnant or negative volume growth, while the more dynamic and innovative categories will experience slower growth, than that of the review period. Prices will remain virtually unchanged as manufacturers try to protect sales. The expansion of dynamic categories will also slow down as disposable income levels are expected to shrink.
