Report description

Consumers in the Big 5 European countries drank 7.4 billion litres of juice in 2010, spending around ?8 billion. The markets enjoyed some stability following declining volumes in the previous two years. Demand for value added, chilled and premium NFC juices is growing again; although the markets remained affected by the difficult economic environment.

European consumers remain price sensitive, which will continue to work in favour of private label products. Consumers are also increasingly aware of the healthy benefits of juice, which is driving interest in new products and should lead to promising growth in the added value segments; such as chilled juices, and 100% NFC juices and nectars.

Some key points from the report include:

European consumers are predominantly buying ambient juice, whereas chilled juices and smoothies are perceived as too 'premium'. How can manufacturers best promote the advantages of chilled juices in order to justify their premium price?
Brands are pushing into vitamin/mineral enriched juices, yet European consumers are still sceptical about functional products. How can the benefits of these products be properly promoted?
Whereas the bulk of the juice consumption is at home, there are untapped opportunities in immediate, on-the-go consumption. What are these and how can they be exploited?
How can manufacturers increase consumer awareness of the 'five-a-day' recommendation and educate consumers in how their products can help improve health and fitness?
Is there room to increase value added sales by convincing small supermarkets and convenience stores to carry more natural, healthy juices?
