The South African Cold Beverage Sector

There has been a recent, but growing, swell of activity in the non-alcoholic, cold beverage sector, driven by a range of factors, least of which is the onset of summer.


Non-alcoholic beverages constitute 39.6% of the total beverage market (10 670 million litres), and the sector is valued at approximately R39.731 million.

Year-on-year to December 2010 the CPI for food and non-alcoholic beverages (CPIF) only recorded growth of 1.5%, compared to the international average of 25%, creating ideal conditions for new entries in the market. Amongst the new-comers there is a notable growth in the amount of energy drinks in the market, but that is a topic for another discussion.

Although the sector has traditionally been dominated by carbonated soft drinks (they held 83.2% of the market in 2009), it is beginning to lose its foothold. The best performing categories in terms of volume growth for 2009 - 2010 were Sports Drinks (-15.5% > 4.1%), Mageu (-12.6% > 3.2%) and Energy Drinks (5.5% > 13.5%).

There is also an increasing trend towards healthier lifestyles and this spills over into the food and beverage category. “The average consumer is becoming more aware and educated regarding beverage ingredients and the benefits of these, and there appears to be a greater incidence of consumers who read labels.”

These are interesting times for the beverage industry and if current trends continue, and there are no signs that they won’t, manufacturers and retailers alike will be facing some challenging changes.

    Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to
    see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had
    to share it with someone!
