Executive summary

Climate change boosting sales

Europe suffered a hot summer in 2006, with more than two heat waves. There is consensus among experts that in the last three years of the review period summer temperatures were higher than usual, that this trend is related to climate change and that it will thus become more pronounced in the future. According to a product manager, “soft drinks in Spain are consumed as refreshment, always cold. That is why temperature is key for sales, as high temperatures enhance their performance. High temperatures in 2006 resulted in a boost of soft drink sales in that year.”

Sociological factors shaping sales

Per capita consumption of soft drinks in Spain increased over the review period. However, soft drink preferences continued to experience subtle yet important changes due to economic, sociological and demographic changes in Spanish society. Sustained positive macroeconomic growth led to steadily increasing disposable incomes for Spaniards. Meanwhile, sociological and demographic changes saw an increased awareness and concern about health issues, increased immigration and an aging population. These trends continue to favour the increased consumption of soft drinks and in particular bottled water and energy drinks, to the detriment of alcoholic beverages. Notably, there was increased consumption of energy drinks among younger consumers seeking a healthier alternative to the stimulating effects of alcoholic beverages.

Coca-Cola leads

While there are many players in Spanish soft drinks, overall sales continue to be concentrated among the top companies. For instance, the top three companies accounted for nearly half of overall value sales of soft drinks in 2006, a trend that remained fairly stable in recent years. Cía Servicios de Bebidas Refrescantes SL, distributor of the Coca-Cola brand in Spain remained the overwhelming leader of Spanish soft drinks.

Supermarkets lead with convenience and price

Supermarkets/hypermarkets continued to be the dominant channel in off-trade soft drink distribution in Spain. This dominant position is due to its price competitiveness with other distribution channels as well as the convenience factor. As Spaniards work longer hours and have more hectic lifestyles, they increasingly concentrate their shopping on one day a week. In addition, the typically convenient locations of supermarkets/hypermarkets in city centres, suburban and exurban locations supported the channel’s importance. The vast product selection and frequent promotions available in these outlets meanwhile tipped the balance further in their favour over the review period.

Health drives forecast period sales

Spaniards in recent years demonstrated a burgeoning interest in health and wellness issues as well as a more pronounced concern with body image and physical appearance. Taken together, these trends are set to exert an important influence over soft drinks over the forecast period, both in terms of sales as well as product innovations. It is expected that over the forecast period, leading soft drink companies will continue to experiment and innovate with new ingredients to fortify their traditional products as well as develop new products that cater specifically to health concerns. This trend will occur in many products but will be particularly prominent in bottled water, functional drinks and fruit/vegetable juice.
