Executive summary

Innovation leads the positive performance of soft drinks in 2007

Given the expansion of the market and new trends in consumer habits, companies are mostly opting for a marketing-led strategy to reach out to new groups of customers. In this context in Portugal in 2007, in contrast to previous years in the review period, the performance of soft drinks was quite positive, mainly due to the exceptional growth registered by functional drinks and RTD tea. This pressure to innovate in order to increase product diversity and sophistication is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

Health and wellness and convenience determine purchasing decisions

Portuguese consumers have become more concerned about health and wellness issues. There have been campaigns to reduce obesity and stimulate awareness of the benefits of improved health and fitness. The key leading companies launched new products in 2007, featuring fewer calories and functional ingredients. Moreover, convenience is a more important factor in determining consumer preferences, as a result of these changes in lifestyle: “ready-to-drink” and “easy-to-use” products are becoming more popular, leading to new formats.

Multinational brands make inroads into domestic players’ shares

Whilst the Portuguese soft drinks market has seen an increase in the number of available products, market share has become concentrated in the hands of the major players. This is because, with the exception of bottled water, multinational brands have made inroads into domestic players’ shares due to their marketing expertise, budgets and product innovations. However, private label maintained a significant share in the Portuguese soft drinks market.

Off-trade distribution continues to lead soft drinks volume sales

Off-trade distribution continued to be the key driver of soft drinks volume sales, whilst the on-trade channel was the most valuable channel in 2007. In general, off-trade distribution channels benefit from a wide range of availability and diversity of soft drinks products, mainly in terms of new launches and limited editions. However, lifestyles have been changing in the last few years, mainly due to working hours, stress and an increasingly cosmopolitan environment. It is evident that increasingly dynamic and hectic lifestyles are leading to an increase in eating out, and consumers are seeking convenient solutions, which will boost growth of on-trade value sales in soft drinks.

Slight growth in soft drinks over the forecast period

Over the forecast period, soft drinks is expected to reach a stagnant point in terms of value sales, whilst volume sales are expected to experience a slight growth. The main driver of the lacklustre performance of soft drinks will continue to be the search for healthier solutions.
