Carbonated Soft Drinks - Europe - September 2010

About this report

This is a stable, recession-resistant market. Big brands have something of an unchallengeable institutional status. Thirst is basic, and the big alcoholic alternative, beer, is generally on long-term decline. Overall volume sales tend to expand, though more so in the less developed Eastern Europe markets, and not at all in some mature Western European ones. Local and traditional brands still put pressure on the multinational invaders, even recording a strong resurgence in places. Low-cal, sugar-free, and exotic and functional innovations, all help grow sales.
