Some key insights include:
  • The consumption of Concentrates in the US is much lower compared with other Soft Drinks categories such as Juices and Sparkling Soft Drinks. The category records a large number of Non-Users across all age groups and very few Heavy users.
  • Similar to the Concentrates market, the US Smoothies market is also not a large market in comparison to other Soft Drinks. The market share of the Kids & Babies age group is almost double that of Tweens & Early Teens, showing that the health benefits, of providing children with vital nutrients such as vitamins, associated with Smoothies only affect the youngest consumers.
  • Bottled water is the third biggest Soft Drinks market in the US. Usage patterns do not vary significantly across age groups, although the number of Non-users increases with age. This is because Bottled Water consumption is linked to physical activity and sports, participation of which declines with age.
  • Health is the most important trend in the Functional drinks market, highlighting the importance of communicating the specific health benefits products in this category provide to consumers.
  • Juices constitute the second largest segment in the overall Soft Drinks market. Kids & Babies account for a significant share of the market, featuring the heaviest users and the fewest Non-users. Parents play a key role in this, as they encourage their children to consume Juices because of their high vitamin content.

United Kingdom, Portugal & Hungary Soft Drinks Market 2017

Soft Drinks in United Kingdom, Portugal & Hungary report offers a comprehensive guide to the size and shape of the market at a national level. It provides the latest retail sales data (2008-2012), allowing you to identify the sectors driving growth. It identifies the leading companies, the leading brands and offers strategic analysis of key factors influencing the market – be they legislative, distribution, packaging or pricing issues. Forecasts to 2017 illustrate how the market is set to change.

Soft Drinks Market in the United Kingdom

The UK soft drinks industry saw a limited effect from the continued economic pressures during the review period and in 2012. The year was characterized by small but stable growth in value terms and stronger volume growth than previously. The off-trade channel continued to grow at the expense of the on-trade, mainly driven by the ongoing cocooning trend. Within the soft drinks category overall, it was RTD coffee, followed by sports and energy drinks, that showed the strongest performance in 2012.


On-trade soft drinks sales in the UK saw a continued decline in 2012, directly affected by prevailing consumer attitudes to spending more time at home and the wide acceptance of ready-to-eat packaged food. Apart from the trend for convenience, consumers have also adapted to the economic climate by cooking more at home and have increasingly bought multipack drinks to consume at home.

Due to limited demand and declining spend on eating and drinking out, many bars and pubs, especially those located in office areas and high streets, have seen a slowdown in sales. There has also been a rise in tap water and table water consumption as many consumers chose not to opt for a soft drink in restaurants. Additionally, the corporate sector reduced the use of on-trade venues to host events, such as office parties, in the wake of pay freezes and staff redundancies.

Soft Drinks Market in Portugal

Total volume sales of soft drinks declined sharply during the review period. This was chiefly due to Portugal's poor economic performance. The country saw real GDP decline during three of the years of the review period, with the sharpest decline seen in 2012. Consumers faced declining disposable income levels due to rising unemployment, static wages and government austerity measures. Consequently, many cut back on purchases of soft drinks and sought out the cheapest possible options when buying these products. As a result of consumers' price-sensitivity, soft drinks saw an even sharper total constant value sales decline than volume decline during the review period.


Portugal is expected to see a return to slow economic growth from 2014 onwards. However, many consumers are likely to continue to struggle and will remain highly price-sensitive. Consequently, while soft drinks are expected to return to a slight total volume growth for the overall forecast period, this will be accompanied by a small constant value sales decline. The off-trade will furthermore be solely responsible for total volume growth, with on-trade volume sales continuing to decline due to poor domestic demand.

Soft Drinks in Hungary

The first business results of explicit government efforts to change consumption patterns and make customers prefer healthier drinks were witnessed during 2012. The chips tax on products with high levels of sugar launched in late 2011 and designing new product formulas with lower tax was the major topic for soft drink manufacturers. Concentrates with a fruit content of less than 33% were also heavily taxed, whilst those with more fruit enjoyed lower tax. Carbonates and energy drinks manufacturers had to raise their prices, which prevented growth in consumption. The previously high rates of growth posted by energy drinks slowed, whilst the consumption of cola carbonates declined further as consumers shifted towards bottled water and RTD tea.


The leading positions of the top three players Coca-Cola, Fovárosi Ásványvíz és Üdítoipari Zrt and Szentkirályi Ásványvíz Kft were stable in 2012. Private label and low-priced, mainly Hungarian brands and manufacturers with local production saw their volume sales increase. Manufacturers maintained a dual brand portfolio, keeping both upscale customers with premium brands and price-savvy ones with value brands, or allocated more production capacity to retailer brands.
