In developed-world markets, traditional categories such as carbonates are stagnating, while the trend to up-selling consumers to premium categories such as energy drinks and smoothies that thrived during the 2000s has been impacted by recession and discretionary consumer spending cuts in many developed economies.
The fastest growing drinks category from 2010-2015 will be functional drinks, which will grow at 5.0% per year to reach $61 billion. Bottled water will grow at 4.8% driving the total market to $125 billion, while concentrates will be the third-fastest-growing category at 3.3%.
