Just Published: "Colombia Quarterly Beverage Tracker First Quarter 2016"

Although almost all soft drinks categories experienced an expansion, carbonates, energy drinks and still drinks were among the best performing. Q1-16 has been very dynamic in terms of new product developments; a significant number of new products have been launched by leading players in order to encourage consumption. In Q1-16, the alcoholic drinks category experienced positive growth mostly driven by the beer category. Beer being among the most favoured categories during the warm season, it experienced a further increase due to growth in the tourism industry.

Key Findings

* Private Label products in the soft drinks industry experienced a decline in Q1-16, due to aggressive competition from large discount retail chains.
* Wine consumption continued growing, however the rate of growth decelerated due to the higher pricing that the category has undergone as a result of the devaluation of the Colombian peso.
* The drinking yogurt category experienced positive increase as performance continued to be affected by the fast growth of spoon-able yogurts, and leading companies.
* The hot beverages market showed only a very moderate growth in Q1-16 as the warm weather hindered consumption.
