TRENDS
Urban India is the key driver for the growth of juices. There exists tremendous possibility of
development of juice in India because the ever-growing fitness or wellness trend demands the
inclusion of fruit juice products in peoples diet. With lifestyle diseases and conditions like
hypertension and diabetes experiencing an exponential rise in the country, more and more
Indians are opting for healthier options such as fruit juices, fruit-based drinks and nectars.
Juice increased in off-trade value by 26% in current terms to reach INR101.3 billion in 2015.
Juices sales are driven by the consumers who are mainly convenience seekers. The
convenience seekers mostly belong to metros and Tier I cities where packaged juices are
preferred on account of immediate availability and comfortable usage. Increasing urbanisation
and changing lifestyles or eating habits due to the busy schedules of people as well as
consumers preferring hygienic prepared juices are driving sales of juices over freshly
prepared juices.
The average unit price of juices increased by 5% in 2015. This increase was largely due to
the increase recorded in the average unit price of juice drinks, a category which accounted for
the bulk of juice sales in India in 2015. The increase recorded in the average the unit price of
juice was coupled with the growing consumption of nectars, which are usually priced higher
than juice drinks.
Flavours like orange, mango and apple continue to be the biggest selling flavours, but Indian
brands like Dabur and international brands like Ceres have quickly introduced a variety of
flavours which have quickly gained popularity as juices are perceived to be quick yet healthy
fillers. To stimulate consumer interest in the category and add variety, these fruit juice
beverage makers are also introducing newer exotic flavours like coconut, cranberry, and
pomegranate. Dabur also launched juices which were a mix of vegetables and fruit which are
perceived as much healthier than fruit juices. Adding value for the consumers, juice beverage
makers are also focussing on the no sugar category of juices.
Unpackaged juice remains very popular in India and small street stalls/kiosks specialising in
fresh juice are present throughout the country. However, these small shops and kiosks are
more popular in tier II and tier III cities, where consumers perceive fresh juice as healthier to
packaged juice. However, this situation does not influence the consumption of packaged
juices, which are sold mainly through off-trade channels, unlike fresh juice which is available
mainly through consumer foodservice outlets. Another significant reason for the growth of the
juice category is the hygiene factor. Packaged juices from trusted national and international
brands have usually been prepared and certified in accordance with health and safety
regulations.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd attained the leading position in juice by overtaking PepsiCo India
Holdings Pvt Ltd in 2015. This was attributed to the performance of Coca-Colas Maaza
brand, which outperformed PepsiCos Slice, which lost two percentage points of value share
in 2015. Coca-Cola aims to turn Maaza into its first billion-dollar juice brand in India, focused
on introducing 100ml Tetra Fino packs and launching pilot studies to test their performance in
the marketplace. The company continued to promote Maaza heavily through television
advertising and in-store promotions throughout 2015.
Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd recorded the biggest actual sales increase in the off-trade in 2015,
thanks to a value growth rate of 20%. This was credited to the strong performance of its brand
Maaza, which displayed value growth of 22% in 2015. Juice and juice-based carbonates
remained one of the important priorities for Coca-Cola in 2015, especially after central
governments emphasis on fresh fruit-based drinks and also in wake of slowing growth for
non-fruit based carbonates during the review period.
Juice remained a highly consolidated category in 2015, with the four leading players
accounting for 78% of off-trade value sales in 2015. International companies including CocaCola and PepsiCo remained the front-runners, followed by domestic manufacturers such as
Parle Agro Pvt Ltd and Dabur India Ltd. International manufacturers controlled the bulk of
juice value sales in 2015 due to their long-established, widespread distribution networks and
popularity throughout the country. Although domestic manufacturers, especially Dabur India
Ltd, accounted for lower value shares, these companies continue to expand their juice
portfolios whilst focusing on ensuring availability at every price point.
Parle Agros leading brand Frooti has undergone a brand revamp. According to company
sources, the brand was launched to demonstrate Frooti as bold, fearless and iconic along with
establishing its equity amongst a much larger audience to help it acquire a wider consumer
base. The company is also set for a national launch of the new Frooti packaging designs
accompanied with a pan-India marketing campaign introducing The Frooti Life to all its
consumers.
Paper Boat, a brand by Hector Beverages, is looking to strengthen its distribution and brand
presence in Tier II cities and some rural pockets, by launching them in small pack sizes of
200ml which will be exclusively retailed by Indo Nissin Foods. The newly launched flavours
include AamPanna, Aam Ras, Jaljeera, and Jamun Kala Khatta. In June 2015 Natures First
India Pvt Ltd launched Tender Coconut juice in packaged format. The product is mainly
targeted at the working-class population who do not have time to have coconut water from
street vendors but would prefer a chilled and hygienic drink.
PROSPECTS
Indian farmers are reluctant to grow fruit due to their perishable nature. The better distribution
system with cold chain storage and transportation conceptualised by the Ministry of food
processing industries can make the fruit juice industry flourish in the near future. Juice is set
to increase in off-trade value at a CAGR of 19% at constant 2015 prices over the forecast
period.
Juice in India, although at a stage where it can witness drastic growth, comes with many
challenges. A few challenges faced by juice manufacturers in India include the reluctance of
local farmers to go in for fruit farming, the current volatility in the price of fruit and the lack of
cold storage and inadequate processing facilities for fruit-based products. In addition, urban

JUICE IN INDIA
Passport
consumers have started to move away from all juice products with added sugar and relatively
high sugar content.
In some urban households traditional breakfasts like Idli or parathas are replaced with quick
sandwiches or a bowl of cereal and fruit juices. Fruit juices have gradually created a space for
themselves in a regular household menu as part of a familys breakfast; as the beverage at
social gatherings and most importantly a delicious, wholesome drink. Moreover, conscientious
mothers have taken to stocking juices in a bid to discourage children from colas and other
fizzy drinks. These are expected to drive the category.
Hector Beverages brand Paper Boat has entered a strategic partnership with Instant Noodles
Company Indo Nissin Foods which manufactures noodles under the brand Top Ramen. The
collaboration will help both companies expand their reach in newer geographies. Both
companies place strong impetus on tradition and connecting with local flavours. While Indo
Nissin has been distributing on its own in India since 2008, the brand has laid a lot of
emphasis on understanding and innovating around the Indian palate and Hector Beverages
has strong distribution in place because of its presence in energy drinks under the brand
Tzinga.
