Global soft drinks growth entering steady state
Global soft drinks total volume grows by 3% during 2015. Global soft drinks consumption growth continues to surpass that of any other drinks industry. With a significant portion of this growth coming from often extremely low-priced bottled water, the need for sustained, profitable growth remains acute.

What is “natural”?
No strict definition of natural
Naturally Healthy Beverages naturally contain a substance that improves health and wellbeing beyond the product’s pure calorific value.
Naturally Healthy Beverages are usually a healthier alternative such as 100% fruit/vegetable juice, Superfruit juice (including cranberry juice), natural mineral water, spring water, RTD green tea, RTD oolong tea.

What is “better-for-you”?
Better-for-you products refer to products where the amount of a substance considered to be less healthy (e.g. sugar, caffeine or fat) has been actively reduced or removed during production.
The “less healthy” element forms part of the positioning and/or marketing of the product.
Better-for-you includes reduced sugar, reduced caffeine and reduced fat.

United Kingdom
Levy to be imposed on soft drinks with more than 5g of sugar per 100ml. Higher rate for drinks with more than 8g per 100ml. Fruit juice and milk-based drinks are exempt.

What is fortified/functional?
When identifying fortified/functional products, we focus on products to which health
ingredients (typically those with health claims) have been added.
Fortified/functional beverages provide health benefits beyond their nutritional value and/or the
level of added ingredients wouldn’t normally be found in that product.
The product must have been actively fortified/enhanced during production and the health
benefit needs to form part of positioning/marketing of the product.

Regulation
Japan - FOSHU
Previously, strict pharmaceutical law in Japan prevented medical claims on product packaging.
MHLW introduced Food for Specified Health Uses (FOSHU) in 1991.
Manufacturers required to gain FOSHU (Foods for Specified Health Use) approval by the Ministry when they wish to claim health benefits on product packaging.
Applications must include scientific documentation demonstrating the medical or nutritional basis for a health claim.
Costly and timely burden for manufacturers to register products as FOSHU.

Key areas within the soft drinks space highlighted today include bottled water and fortified/functional soft drinks.
Australasian businesses to capitalise on “clean”, “green” positioning as a selling point for bottled water sales in China.
