Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/13/2014 -- Carbonates continued to perform well in 2013, with total value sales recording 12% growth, due to the continued success of the PET 350ml pack size. This pack size was the most dynamic in the category, especially among the more price-sensitive consumer base. Population growth in the cities also played a role in the growth of volume sales.

Competitive Landscape

SABC continued to occupy the leading position in carbonates in 2013, despite the challenge from its competitors and the influx of imports. Its Coca-Cola brand remained the leader in cola carbonates in 2013, especially in off-trade sales thanks to its year long campaign centred on the theme of sharing. The brand's commanding lead was built on consumer loyalty despite the attraction of less expensive brands to lower-income consumers. SABC has an extensive and highly efficient distribution network and a broad portfolio that includes heavily promoted brands, such as Coca-Cola, Fanta and Sprite. Together, these attributes ensured that SABC retained its commanding position.
