Abstract

The sports drink market continues to grow headed up by market leader, Gatorade. Flavor and packaging innovation helped drive the market to roughly $2.6 billion in 2004. This figure includes FDM channels, not including Wal-Mart, and sales from convenience stores. FDM sales have increased 22% in constant prices since 1999.

Offerings have multiplied to address the needs of different consumer groups, including those based on age and ethnicity. Several low sugar and low carb versions of sports drinks have been released in the past year, blurring the line between flavored water and sports drinks. The category will see more competition in the coming year as three large multinationals (including PepsiCo and Coca-Cola) will launch new flavored waters in 2005.
