Market Report, "Carbonates in Uzbekistan", published

Carbonates are among the most popular drinks among Uzbek consumers, with cola-carbonates proving particularly in demand. Volume sales of cola-carbonates increased only very negligibly in 2014 due to the suspended production of Coca-Cola by Coca-Cola Bottlers Uzbekistan (due to corruption investigation), with the company’s drinks disappearing from stores. Coca Cola Bottlers resumed production only in mid-August 2014. Since then, the company has operated successfully, with its products appearing on the market for a much lower price. As a result, in 2015 consumers could purchase their favourite drinks for about 50% cheaper than in 2014. Moreover, there was no shortage of supply, with sales of carbonates thus growing strongly in 2015.

Competitive Landscape

Coca-Cola Bottlers Uzbekistan took the lead in retail value and volume sales terms in 2015, recording respective sales shares of 40% and 30% as a result of the popularity of its Coca-Cola (24% of value sales), Fanta (9%) and Sprite (5%) brands. The company outperformed Tashkent International Beverages MChJ, which ranked second with a value share of 25% and volume share of 20% thanks to the popularity of its Pepsi (19% of value sales) and Mirinda (7%) brands. The company led sales in 2014 as a result of the suspension of production by Coca-Cola Bottlers Uzbekistan until August 2014. However, there was no suspension of manufacturing in 2015, with the latter returning to first position.

Industry Prospects

Carbonates sales are expected to grow at a slower pace than during the review period. Increasing health concerns mean some people are shifting from carbonates to bottled water or juice. However, carbonates will remain attractive for many consumers. Moreover, the introduction of new brands and packaging innovations will also contribute to sales growth over the forecast period.
