What is the current market landscape and what is changing?

Family sized PET is gaining share from ref glass in both ‘on the go’ and home consumption of soft drinks.

Coca-Cola focused on increasing filling capacity for new products whilst PepsiCo’s capacity rationalisation might constrain growth of existing lines. Capacity expansions are noted by Darbur for Real juice and nectars, Bisleri in bulk/HOD water and Manpasand Foods in still drinks.

What are the key drivers behind recent market changes?
Coca-Cola gained share from PepsiCo in cola flavor carbonate segment as a result of high profile marketing activity. Both Coca-Cola and PepsiCo achieved good growth in lemon-lime. A fall in mango pulp price helped still drinks to healthy growth where mango flavor dominates.
