Naturally healthy is the largest product group (in retail volume terms) within health and wellness beverages in Austria as a result of its large selection of products in NH soft drinks. The largest share and selection of products can be found, unsurprisingly, in NH juice, (in particular NH superfruit nectars (25-99% juice) and NH 100% juice).
The most dynamic developments were witnessed within NH hot drinks in 2021. This was not only because it is a much smaller category compared to the dominant, but overall declining, NH soft drinks, but also due to the growing popularity and selection of NH green tea.
Innovation and new product launches were among the main growth drivers for NH soft drinks at the end of the review period. This was particularly relevant for new products by renowned, trusted and established brands such as Rauch (Juice Bar) or Teekanne (Fresh), which continued to drive demand.
Despite predictions for a marginal upturn in demand in 2022, naturally healthy beverages is set to record an overall weak performance over the forecast period, leading to declines in both demand terms and in value sales terms (at constant 2021 prices). This will be driven by intensifying competition with other beverages such as fortified/functional and better for you, in addition to the more expensive organic beverages, as these soft drinks may be perceived as healthier or offer stronger health-related functionality.
Continuously evolving health and wellness trends will generally some demand for naturally healthy beverages, with producers likely to underline the functional aspects of their products, although natural positioning remains a potent one for many consumers. However, with consumers returning to more active lives, including greater time spent in gyms, playing sports, in addition to foodservice options such as restaurants and cafés due to pent-up demand following prolonged home seclusion, much of the consumption associated with naturally healthy beverages will shift away from pure at-home consumption to on-trade sales.
The key to the future success of brands within naturally healthy beverages overall will remain the level of innovation and frequency of new products launched. As competition grows both within and outside of the category, sales are set to remain stagnant due to decreasing demand (depending on the product) and therefore, manufacturers must identify ways to differentiate themselves.
