Bottled Water in Serbia
January 2022
2021 DEVELOPMENTS
Strong recovery across retail and foodservice in 2021
Bottled water is a sizeable product area, though it suffered a decline in volume sales in 2020, as with the economy heavily impacted by the pandemic, consumers had less spending power. In 2021, with society opening up again and more people working, both retail value and volume sales registered a healthy increase.
No change in status quo
Knjaz Milos continued to lead the competitive landscape in 2021 and offers the leading namesake brand. In early 2021, it launched a new range within sparkling flavoured bottled water.
Still bottled water drives volume growth
Volume sales of still and carbonated bottled water are nearly on par, with still bottled water accounting for slightly more volume sales. However, still bottled water registered the highest volume increase in 2021 and will also be the strongest performer over the forecast period, with carbonated bottled water losing out.
PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Healthy outlook over forecast period
Bottled water will register healthy constant value and volume growth over the forecast period. Functional bottled water will register the highest retail volume growth, though this will be from a very small base.
Private label may expand in bottled water
While private label has not yet gained any significant foothold in bottled water, there is potential for private label players to win value share. Private label in general in Serbia has been gaining value share year-on-year, as Serbian consumers increasingly appreciate the affordable pricing, matched with high quality.
The health and wellness trend shapes product launches as consumers look for functional options
Across the forecast period, new product launches are set to be shaped by the health and wellness trend, which saw a boost in interest during 2020, due to the outbreak of COVID-19. As such, players will focus on launching items marketed as healthy, with launches including items with added mineral and vitamins, responding to consumers increased interest in health.
