PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Good opportunities exist to boost consumption of sports drinks
Sports drinks is still a very small category in Austria, where it accounts for roughly 0.3% of soft drinks total volume sales.
Leading brands to dominate sales in the short term
In the forecast period, the bulk of value sales is expected to remain with leading brands such as Gatorade and Powerade due to their high level of brand recognition, and relatively wide availability across Austrian supermarkets and other grocery retailers. The growing range of private label lines through discounters is set to drive sales via this channel.
Price sensitivity poses a future barrier to sales growth
Future barriers to growth will include high consumer price sensitivity in Austria. Whilst inflation is falling, consumers are still facing higher costs of living, which will result in further cautionary spending.

Sports Drinks
The choice of sports drink usually depends on the provision of fluids, carbohydrates or both. Included into this subsector are isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic sports drinks. Isotonic are products that replace lost body fluids, electrolytes (sodium, potassium and chlorides) and glucose in similar concentrations to existing body fluid without causing either swelling or shrinkage of cells. These products usually contain about 5-8% carbohydrate and are intended to be consumed during exercise and/or heat exposure. Hypotonic this product is a weaker solution than your body fluid. These drinks contain less carbohydrate and therefore have lower osmolality (fewer dissolved particles than blood). These drinks help the body to speed up water absorption and are best used when you need urgent fluid replacement, as in after exercise. These drinks are not the best for energy replacement. Hypertonic - this drink is a stronger solution than your body fluid. These drinks are designed to replace and maintain energy levels during exercise of at least one hour. They are absorbed slowly and therefore are not appropriate for fluid replacement. Leading brands in off-trade volume include Gatorade, Powerade and Aquarius. This is the aggregated total of regular and reduced sugar Sports Drinks
