EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Soft drinks sustains post-economic crisis growth

In 2011, soft drinks continued to record healthy growth in sales. The industry benefited from the post-crisis economic recovery and the increasing interest of consumers in soft drinks. Growth was driven by the healthy characteristics of soft drinks, rising price and diminishing quality of tapped water, legal limitations on alcoholic drinks consumption in public places and very hot summers, new product launches, the dynamic development of functional beverages. Quality improvements and a widening product range provide a sustainable background for expansion in the forecast period. Unit prices rose in 2010-2011 due to higher excise taxes for soft drinks, increased raw material prices, logistics and new, more sophisticated marketing and promotional activities.

Niche drinks and bottled water are among the most dynamic types

The demand for high-quality and natural products continues to develop in Ukraine. The growing health and wellness concerns in the media, more information on harmful ingredients and misunderstandings about the difference between concentrates saw many consumers switch to the products which they consider naturally healthy. These included: bottled water (usually offered by a leading brand, even though it is a more expensive option); RTD tea (regarded as a natural and healthy product with good taste characteristics); and traditional kvas (expected to be produced as a malt-based natural drink). The demand for functional bottled water and energy drinks shows that many consumers prefer extra functionality drinks, with added minerals, vitamins and herbal content or energy-boosting effects. Moreover, there is a growing trend toward reduced sugar consumption.

International and local players compete for sales

Overall, soft drinks is a highly competitive industry in Ukraine. The leading positions of major international players, such as The Coca-Cola Co (Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine Ltd) and PepsiCo Inc (Sandora TOV), are the result of very strong and well-established brands and local production. Coca-Cola has long been the leading player. It enjoys an early-mover advantage and has consistently offered innovations and new product launches (energy drinks, RTD tea, etc). Domestic companies are catching-up with multinationals, and they hold strong positions across soft drinks. They also employ Western-style competitive and marketing strategies and offer products in different price segments.

Affordability vs convenience in distribution

Independent small grocers remains the leading distribution channel for soft drinks, even though its total volume share diminished over the review period. It is followed by the “other” grocery retailers, such as kiosks. The main reason for this pattern of distribution is the convenient location of such stores, which boosts impulse purchases. Moreover, they are often the only available formats in rural areas. However, distribution is moving towards Western formats with the expansion of supermarkets and hypermarkets. These large modern retailers attract consumers by offering better prices for beverages, private label and other lower-priced options, a wider range of available products and promotions for leading brands.

Growing focus on health and functional characteristics

Soft drinks is expected to develop strongly over the forecast period. Due to market saturation and stronger competition within soft drinks, many companies will look to develop their existing brands by adding new flavours, changing formulations, introducing new packaging and consistent launches of new products. Strong marketing campaigns, together with expected general welfare improvements, will help to boost per capita consumption and make the demand more sophisticated.

Bottled Water in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
Bottled water attracted more consumers away from less healthy soft drinks, such as carbonates, and even fruit/vegetable juice, which suffers from a stereotype of artificial ingredients or lack of natural ingredients. This shift was due to rising health awareness among Ukrainians and the poor quality of tap water. An increasing number of consumers are becoming more sophisticated in their choice of water. They are noting the differences between spring water and mineral water and showing a preference for imported brands. Consumers increasingly drink bottled water all-year-round rather than simply in summer. Shoppers are increasingly sophisticated, checking the contents of bottled water in order to establish: the origin of the water; the date and way it is bottled; if it contains genetically modified components; and the levels of magnesium or sodium, etc. The economic slowdown also benefited bottled water, as it is generally a lower-priced soft drinks option.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Oskar Morshynsky ZMV TOV is the leading player in bottled water, accounting for a 16% share of off-trade volume sales and a 20% share of off-trade value sales in 2011. The company’s success is due to very strong brand recognition, a reputation for high-quality products positioned in different bottled water categories and consumed by consumers in a range of age groups. It continues to strengthen its shares and position thanks to strong marketing, on-trade promotion and vending sales.

PROSPECTS
Over the forecast period, bottled water is expected to post a 3% total constant value CAGR and 4% total volume CAGR. Growth will come from the rising per capita consumption of bottled water, due to improved economic conditions, the relatively poor quality of tap water, greater awareness of health benefits and new product developments and differentiation. At the same time, lower prices of bottled water, in comparison to other soft drinks, will generate growth.

Carbonates in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
In 2010 and 2011, carbonates was boosted by the beginnings of economic recovery in the country and other factors. Two hot summers stimulated the consumption of carbonates, especially impulse buys. The major sales of 0.5 litre bottles (individual packs) take place in summer, while two litre bottles (family packs) are popular in winter. The ban on drinking beer and other alcoholic drinks in public places also stimulated the consumption of non-alcoholic drinks. This influenced a turn toward malted non-alcoholic drinks and boosted the popularity of branded kvas. Leading carbonates brands also launched new flavours (nostalgia and new product developments), while consumers switched to carbonates from more expensive drinks.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine Ltd leads carbonates, accounting for a 22% share of off-trade volume sales and a 31% share of off-trade value sales in 2011. The company is very well-established and its brands are recognised by all consumers in the country. It continues to implement best marketing practices, very strong advertising support and a well-developed distribution infrastructure. Coca-Cola was one of the first players to become an official sponsor of Euro 2012. This major international football tournament features heavily in advertisements and promotions nationwide. Its major carbonates brands are: Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta and Schweppes.

PROSPECTS
Carbonates is expected to continue to record positive growth in total volume sales terms over the forecast period. Improving economic conditions are expected to reduce price sensitivity and increase expenditure on non-essential products. On the other hand, manufacturers will try to enhance sales via aggressive marketing campaigns, redesigning packaging formats and presenting new flavours. They aim to boost value sales by introducing new products containing added value/functional ingredients. Although private label brands continue to increase in popularity, product quality and health concerns are gradually increasing in importance. In addition, consumers will focus more on limiting calorie consumption; therefore carbonates that are perceived to be healthier will lead growth.

Concentrates in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
Concentrates’ popularity is highly constrained by an unhealthy and old-fashioned image. These products were consumed in the soviet era or as cheap low-quality Polish imports in the early years of independence. New product launches and the improving quality of established brands, together with concerns about the unhealthy character of alternative soft drinks, supported retail volume sales in the review period.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In 2011, Maspex Sp zoo is the leading player with over one half of off-trade value sales. It also leads in off-trade volume terms, albeit with a lower share. Sales are generated by the company’s Ekland powdered instant tea, which is imported.

PROSPECTS
Concentrates is a declining category and there are no indications that this trend might be reversed. This beverage type will continue to lose ground gradually as rival soft drinks types attract its consumer base.

Fruit/Vegetable Juice in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
Fruit/vegetable juice continued its recovery from the economic downturn in 2011. This was fuelled by the growing call for healthy and natural drinks as economic conditions eased. However, growth was constrained by the rising food prices, especially of fruits and vegetables, and the general deterioration of living standards in the country. Moreover fruit/vegetable juice is not perceived as an essential product type, so many consumers continued to reduce consumption or shift to cheaper products. This influenced a trend towards ‘nectarisation’, as producers tried to keep prices affordable, although consumers felt the diminishing quality of drinks caused by the switch from 100% juice to nectars (25-99% juice). As the prices of raw materials grow consistently, manufacturers are forced to increase product prices and lower mark-ups or employ ‘economising innovations’ to fuel demand.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
The competitive landscape is relatively consolidated in fruit/vegetable juice. A few main players concentrate shares and establish trends and developments. In 2011, the leading player and the biggest juice producer in Ukraine is Sandora TOV, with a 38% share of off-trade volume sales. Its Sadochok brand (positioned in the standard and standard-plus segments) is the number one brand. The company’s strong and well-diversified brand portfolio is completed by the benchmark Sandora brand (standard-plus and premium segments); Dar (standard); Sandoryk (children’s products); and Mykolayivsky Sokovy Zavod (economy and standard). Furthermore, the player has developed an efficient nationwide distribution chain and media support; it also leads fruit/vegetable juice in the on-trade channel.

PROSPECTS
Compared to the review period, fruit/vegetable juice is expected to record a faster total volume CAGR over the forecast period. The health and wellness trend will continue to benefit fruit/vegetable. The healthy image of fruit/vegetable juice is important; however, producers need to find ways to counterbalance the prevailing financial concerns of consumers. Thus, fruit/vegetable juice is likely to witness a short-term reduction in the purchase of higher-priced offers, with consumers switching to more affordable options by well-established brands, even though they can feel the difference in quality between 100% juice and nectars. However, a switch away from ‘nectarisation’ towards premiumisation (100% juice, chilled juices and smoothies) is expected in the medium term as the economy and household budgets improve.

RTD Coffee in Ukraine - Category Analysis

TRENDS
In Ukraine, RTD coffee sales were negligible in 2010. These expensive products disappeared from retailers’ shelves due to the economic crisis. In 2011, RTD coffee remained negligible as new, lower-priced formats appeared, such as mobile coffee – fresh coffee prepared in a coffee machine situated in a specially equipped car at street level. These car-based mobile kiosks offer fresh coffee in many flavours at reasonable prices, and sales were considered fast. At the same time, chained cafés such as Coffee House are increasingly offering ‘coffee to go’ options. The strength of the competition from freshly prepared coffee formats prevented the relaunch of RTD coffee in Ukraine. Even well-established imported brands could be expected to lose out to freshly boiled natural coffee.

RTD Tea in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
In general, RTD tea showed good recovery trends in 2010-2011, following a strong downturn in 2009. The growth in sales of RTD tea is generally supported by the development of tea drinking occasions (hot and cold) an a strong health image. RTD tea is regarded as an alternative to other soft drinks, such as carbonates, and it has premium positioning.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine continues to lead RTD tea, accounting for a 55% share of off-trade volume sales and a 57% share of off-trade value sales in 2011. Nestea is the leading brand. The company also recorded the biggest increase in off-trade volume (one percentage point) and value (one half of a percentage point) shares in 2011.

PROSPECTS
RTD tea is expected to record healthy total volume sales growth over the forecast period. This growth forecast can be explained by multiple trends: product differentiation to meet the demand for health and wellness beverages; ongoing polarisation between well-established brands/functional drinks and economy products/private label; greater at-home consumption; and an increasing share of family/economy formats. At the same time, leading global brands Lipton and Nestea are set to provide innovation, especially in terms of new products and promotion; for example, Asian-style RTD tea. The interest in healthier green and fruit RTD teas is also set to grow, with health conscious consumers happy to pay more for such products.

Sports and Energy Drinks in Ukraine - Category Analysis

HEADLINES

TRENDS
Energy drinks is expanding dynamically in terms of new product developments and sales. This soft drinks type has a very strong image of innovation among Ukrainians. It famous for its antidepressant attributes and providing energy boosts for work and play. A trendy product, it consistently attracts new consumers. Another important factor is the consumption of energy drinks as an ingredient in cocktails (eg the famous Vodka-Red Bull cocktail) and other mixes, which are increasingly popular among young people.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
In 2011, Coca-Cola Beverages Ukraine leads energy drinks with a 35% share of retail value sales. The company’s Burn was the pioneer brand in Ukraine; therefore it benefits from the early-mover advantage and enjoys wide consumer awareness. The manufacturer continues to invest in the advertising and promotion of Burn and a range of price discounts, in order to boost recognition and sales.

PROSPECTS
The consumption of energy drinks is increasing year-on-year; however, saturation has not been reached and there remains the scope for further product development through new ingredients and packaging. Brand polarisation increased at the end of the review period and this trend is set to continue in the forecast period. Total volume sales are expected to rise by almost 5% CAGR over the forecast period to reach 33 million litres in 2016.
