Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/09/2014 -- Concentrates is a slow-growing category within soft drinks in Nigeria, but it is still seeing steady positive growth. Parents normally add such drinks to their children's lunch packs for school, with product type offering middle- and lower-income parents cheaper alternatives. The Ribena brand from GlaxoSmithKline Nigeria Plc is a household name, particularly among children, and the powder concentrates brand of Nutri C from Nutrifood Indonesia PT is also becoming more popular. Although the liquid concentrates category is unable to keep up with competition from newer types of soft drinks, the cheaper powder concentrates category is helping to drive growth, which in 2013 was faster than the review period average of 4% in total volume RTD (ready-to-drink) terms.

Competitive Landscape

GlaxoSmithKline Nigeria Plc dominated the concentrates category with a 59% off-trade value share in 2013 (the company posted an 89% value share of liquid concentrates the same year). The ban on imported liquid concentrates, the popularity of the company's Ribena brand and its strong and effective distribution network are the factors that continue to give the company its leadership edge. The company has traditionally faced little or no competition, although this is changing, particularly from the powder concentrates category.
