Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/13/2016 -- Overview of the global soft drinks market
The research analyst predicts the global soft drinks market to grow steadily at a rate of 7% during the forecast period. The increase in the sale of premium-priced products such as RTD tea and coffee and functional drinks are the primary drivers of the growth of this market. The innovative marketing strategies being introduced by vendors is also driving the market growth. For instance, during April 2015, PepsiCo entered into a marketing partnership with NBA, making it the official partner of the NBA, Womens National Basketball Association, NBA Development League, and USA Basketball.

The stringent government regulations regarding the production and sale of soft drinks are expected to pose challenges to the market growth during the forecast period.
