Soft drinks registers growth in both the on-trade and off-trade

Soft drinks recorded positive performances in 2018, in both the off-trade and on-trade, driven by a strong trend towards healthier, zero-sugar drinks. This entailed strong innovation across categories.

Zero-sugar, healthy soft drinks – without compromising on flavour

The most impactful trend in soft drinks in Belgium in 2018 was the consumer shift towards zero-sugar, healthier drinks. This was related to the implementation of the sugar tax in Belgium, first introduced in 2016, and affected the whole market.

Coca-Cola Belgium remains the leader, although losing share

Coca-Cola Belgium remained the leader in soft drinks in Belgium, although it lost share to smaller manufacturers in 2018. The company compensated the decline of its brands in carbonates with the launch of Fuze Tea in RTD tea.

New sugar free, healthier products in most soft drinks categories

The no sugar trend strongly impacted manufacturers’ innovation strategies in 2018 across most soft drinks categories. In energy drinks, Jet Import launched Red Bull Sugar Free; in carbonates, Coca-Cola Belgium launched Fanta Zero Sugar strawberry & kiwi, PepsiCo Belux introduced 7Up Lemon Lemon in 2017, while Nestlé Waters Benelux launched Perrier & Juice, a product featuring Perrier carbonated water and 18% juice.

Health, innovation and indulgence are likely to shape the performance of soft drinks over the forecast period

The trend towards a healthier diet, featuring natural ingredients and low sugar content is set to remain highly relevant and continue to have an impact on soft drinks, as consumers shift increasingly from carbonates and juice to categories such as flavoured bottled water. At the same time, innovation and indulgence will also play a role.
