Executive summary
Improving purchasing power somewhat eliminates effects of global economic downturn
In 2008, retail volume and value sales of soft drinks in Serbia did not grow in the manner seen during the review period. In 2008, volume sales of soft drinks at Serbian market stalled seeing slight decline, mainly caused by reaching some kind of per capita saturation and decreasing consumer confidence triggered by global economic crisis. On the other hand, growing disposable incomes together with inflation contributed to value sales growth in 2008.
Soft drinks volume sales in 2008 remain at 2007 levels
After a 10-year period of growth in volume terms, sales in 2008 saw a slight decline. Three main soft drinks categories (carbonates, fruit/vegetable juice and bottled water) continued to determine the performance of soft drinks, both in volume and value terms. While carbonates and fruit/vegetable juice recorded volume sales growth in 2008, bottled water saw a decline. Bottled water is the leading category in terms of volume sales, thus the decline had a significant impact on soft drinks sales overall.
RTD coffee consumption still at the experimental stage
Sales of RTD coffee remain negligible in Serbia, as consumers remain unfamiliar with the product. Similarly, the presence of sports drinks and elixirs within functional drinks continues to be marginal.
Nectar doo strengthens position
The process of privatisation of former state-owned companies is coming to an end and, according to the Law on Privatisation, should have been be completed by the end of 2008. “Heba” is one of the last state-owned companies within soft drinks and has accepted a proposal by Nectar doo. With this acquisition, Nectar doo, the leading operator in fruit/vegetable juice and also present in concentrates and RTD tea and functional drinks will have broadened its portfolio to reflect shifting consumer demand.
Domestic companies successfully compete with multinationals
Domestic companies enjoy dominant positions in fruit/vegetable juice, bottled water, RTD tea and functional drinks. Carbonates are dominated by multinational brands and concentrates by regional brand. Trend of strong domestic brands is expected to continue as Serbian companies attract more investments during forecasted period; finish restructuring and further invest in production and marketing
Health and wellness trend key to forecast period performance
The health and wellness trend in Serbia became and will remain a key factor contributing to the future performance of soft drinks in the country. Consumers will become increasingly aware of health issues and more concerned with their appearance. With rising awareness of product ingredients, consumers will demonstrate greater interest in healthier options such as bottled water, fruit/vegetable juice and RTD tea. The income and education levels of consumers will be the key in influencing product choices.
