Global Soft Drinks Market Expansion

Global soft drinks volumes expanded by 4% in 2014, in line with the industry’s performance since 2011 and a rate that is expected to continue over the foreseeable future.

But Growth Slows

This represents a significant slowdown from the dynamic growth seen prior to the global economic crisis, an event that will likely impact an entire generation of consumers and their habits, particularly in hard-hit regions such as the southern Eurozone.

China Matures

It also reflects growing maturity in China, a market that now accounts for some 12% of global soft drinks volumes, as well as slowing growth in bottled water, which itself accounts for more than 40% of global soft drinks consumption.

Product Innovation Returns As a Driver

A more stable, but low-growth environment for soft drinks will make targeted new product innovation more important than ever. Brand owners must capitalise on emerging categories that buck the flat trend to stay responsive and ahead of consumer trends in beverages.
