Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/16/2014 -- Germany is a carbonates nation with regard to soft drinks, with carbonates accounting for the highest value sales of any soft drinks category. In current value terms, a 3% increase was registered in the off-trade in 2013, while volume sales increased by 1%. Growth was partly driven by niches such as mixers but was mainly due to the health and wellness trend and its influence on low-calorie offerings.

Competitive Landscape

As in many other countries, Coca-Cola is the primary player in carbonates in Germany with a strong value share. Although the company's share declined slightly in 2013 it still registered positive value sales growth. This growth was mainly driven by its low-calorie variants such as Coca-Cola Zero.

Industry Prospects

The performance of carbonates will be hampered by the ageing population in Germany and by health concerns, which will see more consumers turn to bottled water instead of carbonates. Carbonates is thus anticipated a rather poor performance over the forecast period, posting an off-trade volume decline over 2013-2018 and almost flat growth in value terms at constant 2013 prices. However, compared to other soft drinks, carbonates will be one of the better performing categories.
