Soft drinks continues to grow

Soft drinks continues to grow in China, mainly driven by the prolonged summer in 2017 and the recovered demand for soft drinks. Among all soft drinks products, bottled water enjoys the most robust retail value growth, underpinned by consumers’ growing health awareness and their switching from other less healthy soft drinks to bottled water.

Consumers move their purchasing online

Internet retailing continued buoyant growth in the distribution of soft drinks in 2017, as consumers are attracted to the convenience of home delivery and competitive pricing offered by online shopping. Most leading soft drinks manufacturers opened online official flagship stores on Tmall.

Coca-Cola China Ltd maintains lead

Coca-Cola China Ltd maintained its leadership in soft drinks in China in 2017, albeit with a slightly shrinking value share compared to that in 2016. Recognising the sluggish growth in carbonates, the company has made efforts to develop non-carbonates in the soft drinks market, particularly in niches showing great potential.

Exotic products with special taste on the rise

More Chinese consumers have developed their personalised preferences within soft drinks. As a result, manufacturers launched niche flavours to meet these personalised tastes.

Moderate growth expected over the forecast period

Soft drinks is projected to maintain steady growth momentum over the forecast period, underpinned by consumers’ continuous and steady demand for bottled water, RTD coffee and energy drinks. Stemming from the convenience trend, RTD drinks are favoured, resulting in the further shrinking of concentrates over the forecast period.
