Executive summary

Soft drinks exhibits stronger performance in 2007

Soft drinks achieved marginally stronger total volume and total value growth in 2007 owing to more frequent purchasing and deeper geographical penetration of such products as well as continued improvements in the standard of living of Malaysians. In addition, health awareness continued to grow in line with the increasing affluence of consumers and a higher level of education. Furthermore, as a result of increased purchasing power, a larger number of young people consumed products in soft drinks, which created more opportunities for manufacturers as they sought to tap into this consumer group.

Growing trend of health awareness boosts demand for soft drinks

The trend of health and wellness gathered strength in Malaysia over the review period and this trend helped to drive the growth of soft drinks in 2007. Products in soft drinks that have particularly benefited from this trend include those in fruit/vegetable juice, RTD tea, bottled water and functional drinks. Malaysians have become more health conscious and more knowledgeable with regard to the food and drink they consume and as a result there was a great deal of new product development both over the review period and in 2007 as manufacturers sought to capitalise on this increased health awareness.

Leading position of F&N Coca-Cola (M) Sdn Bhd remains undisputed

Multinational player F&N Coca-Cola (M) Sdn Bhd continued to lead in soft drinks in 2007 due to its strong presence in almost all categories of soft drinks. The company has a very comprehensive portfolio of products in carbonates and functional drinks and it has achieved widespread penetration of its products in retail outlets throughout Malaysia. The company also benefits strongly from the high recognition of its brands among Malaysian consumers owing to its well-established presence in the country. As a result, its leading position remained undisputed in 2007.

The other players in soft drinks continued to be a mix of local and multinational players in 2007. Local companies are particularly prominent in bottled water, RTD tea and Asian speciality drinks while multinational players tend to be stronger in RTD coffee and fruit/vegetable juice.

Private label presence increases due to strong expansion of chained retailers

Private label products started to gain acceptance in soft drinks in Malaysia over the review period. The rapid expansion of chained supermarket/hypermarket outlets and chained convenience store outlets over the review period helped to boost awareness of and the popularity of private label products. The strength of chained supermarkets/hypermarkets and chained convenience stores continued to increase strongly in 2007 and so in line with stronger recognition of these outlets, the reputation of their own private label products improved. Private label products such as Giant products and “1” products have not only become more visible on chained retail outlet shelves but have also benefited from more frequent purchases among consumers.

Soft drinks expected to give strong performance over forecast period

Soft drinks is expected to continue to perform well over the forecast period and to achieve stronger total volume and total constant value growth than it did over the review period. This positive outlook is due to the expected development of new products with added health benefits especially in the early part of the forecast period. Furthermore, the more affordable brands in soft drinks are expected to gain in significance over the forecast period due to advertising and promotional activities.
