Market Report, "Rtds/High-Strength Premixes in Costa Rica", published

Even though global sales were falling, locals were nevertheless very interested in this RTD. This and other popular products such as the locally-manufactured rum-based Bamboo and Cuba Libre became the favourite option for local consumers, especially in the case of women between 18-20 years which could purchase it through the foodservice channel or most retailers (due to Florida’s strong distribution systems).

Competitive Landscape

In 2014, Florida Bebidas SA continued to dominate sales, recording a volume share of 93%. The Smirnoff, Bamboo and Cuba Libre brands comprised the company’s presence in the market. The leading manufacturer benefits from its developed economies of scale, distribution capabilities and innovation strategies, which led it to be present in most drinks categories in the country (including non-alcoholic drinks).
