Value, health and premiumisation guide soft drinks in 2018

US soft drinks consumers increasingly consider value and premiumisation to go hand in hand, while they also seek healthy beverages that they can consume without guilt. The standout beverages of 2018 excelled not only by providing features such as functionality and flavouring that separated them from their competitors but also because they communicated this effectively to their customers who increasingly used online tools to educate themselves about the purchases they were considering.

Americans require more from their beverages

While hydration remains a vital component of the formulation of all soft drinks, Americans also look to these products to fill a wide spectrum of functional needs. Often, interest in beverages that meet these needs in innovative and effective ways allows them to succeed despite characteristics that, at first glance, would seem to limit their growth, such as high sugar content.

Major players achieve mixed results across categories

In most soft drinks categories, large players have mostly been able to retain their rankings despite decreases in shares. Large players in bottled water saw a further share decrease in 2018 to the benefit of smaller players.

Origin and adventurous ingredients are popular in 2018

New product developments in 2018 were guided by Americans’ dual interest in products that are healthy and indulgent, by excitement around innovative ingredients and flavours, and by strong brand storytelling. The success of RTD coffee did not go unnoticed by big players in 2018: McDonald’s launched its own RTD coffee which, although not particularly innovative, stands to benefit from the strong branding of McDonald’s and the distribution network of Coca-Cola.

Discrepancies expected to intensify

In the forecast period, it is not expected that any of the major categories within the beverages industry will change their growth trajectory. Bottled water, which became the biggest category in off-trade volume terms in 2018, will continue its ascent during 2018-2023, far surpassing carbonates which, by the end of the forecast period, will have suffered 10 years of decline.
