Quarterly Beverage Tracker Third Quarter 2016 Bosnia

Summary
The soft drinks market contracted in Q3-16, driven by the poor performance of the flavored water category and its leading brand Sensation. Other categories such as squash/syrups, iced/RTD tea drinks and nectars also registered a decline in volumes. Carbonates was one of the few categories to record a significant gain in volumes, achieved thanks to aggressive price promotions by the companies. Sports drinks and energy drinks registered the highest growth rates during the quarter. Similar to soft drinks, all remaining ACB categories registered a slight decline in volumes.

Key Findings
- In packaged water category, PET continued to lead in terms of packaging, while the Private Label segment remains negligible.

- The good quality of tap water continues to limit higher growth for the Bulk/HOD water category.

- Off-premise sales gained share from the on-premise channels thanks to a recovery in the traditional retail subchannel.

- A double-digit increase in the price of sugar these past two quarters has negatively affected the squash/syrups category.
