Executive summary

Healthy growth in soft drinks thanks to improved economic climate in 2005

In 2005 soft drinks recorded healthy growth, mainly due to an improving economic climate and subsequent increase in disposable income. Soft drinks achieved double-digit percentage volume growth in 2005. In current value terms soft drinks also recorded healthy growth. However, current value growth was lower than volume growth, indicating a fall in unit prices in 2005. The healthy growth rates were the result of substantial growth in several sectors such as bottled water, functional drinks and other low calorie products. Growing health awareness among Israeli consumers strengthened this trend.

Soft drinks market is highly concentrated

The soft drinks market is highly concentrated with three companies accounting for the majority of shares. In carbonates, The Central Bottling Company and Yafora-Tavori were the leading companies in 2005. In fruit/vegetable juice, Gat Food Canneries Ltd and Ganir were the major players. In bottled water, Mayanot Eden and Neviot-Tevaa Hagalil commanded the majority of shares.

Declining popularity of carbonates due to growing health awareness

Off-trade carbonates recorded only limited current value growth in 2005. The main reason for this was growing health awareness among Israeli consumers. Off-trade low calorie cola carbonates was the best performer in the sector.

Strong sales of fruit/vegetable juice due to economic improvement and growing health awareness

The improving economic climate, which began in 2004 and continued into 2005, coupled with growing health awareness encouraged Israelis to consume more fruit/vegetable juice and to purchase better quality fruit/vegetable juice products. Off-trade sales of fruit/vegetable juice increased relatively rapidly in 2005. Nectars was the most dynamic and contributed significantly to the total sales of fruit/vegetable juice.

Low prices and improving economy boost volume and current value growth of bottled water in 2005

Off-trade bottled water recorded the most dynamic growth rates in 2005 in both volume and current value terms. The main reasons for this growth were the low prices of bottled water in Israel, which enabled more of the population to purchase it. In addition, the low quality of tap water and the fact that the Ministry Of Health announced several times that it was forbidden to drink tap water, increased the consumption of bottled water.

Economic improvement and greater health awareness boost sales of functional drinks in 2005

The growing worldwide trend for functional drinks, mainly in the US and Europe, and the fact that Israelis tend to adopt Western lifestyles and follow global trends, led to an increase in sales of functional drinks.

Slower growth for concentrates

Concentrates have decreased in popularity over the years, the major reason being that growing health awareness has encouraged consumers away from products which are considered unhealthy and of low quality. As a result, sales of concentrates were low in Israel in 2005. However, concentrates remain relatively popular among several consumer groups, such as low-income households, Israeli Arabs and religious Jewish families.

Growing popularity of RTD tea stimulates sales in 2005

Off-trade sales of RTD tea in Israel were still limited in 2005. However, sales have shown an increase in the last few years, reflecting a growing demand from Israeli consumers. Over the last three years, several different companies realised the potential of RTD tea and started to heavily invest in promotional campaigns and marketing activities in order to create awareness and stimulate sales.

Limited demand for RTD coffee

Off-trade sales of RTD coffee were also relatively limited in 2005. RTD coffee recorded low growth rates in both volume and current value terms in 2005, reflecting its lack of popularity. RTD coffee is relatively new in Israel and so awareness among Israeli consumers is still limited.

Unit prices expected to fall over the forecast period

Volume growth of soft drinks is expected to outpace constant value growth over the forecast period, indicating a fall in unit prices. The relatively high growth rates of the soft drinks market are expected to result from dynamic growth in bottled water, fruit/vegetable juice and functional drinks. An improving economy and growing health awareness are expected to be major factors behind this expected growth.
