Abstract

Sports drinks are an important and dynamic part of the beverage industry, having grown from less than $2 billion in 1997 to $3 billion in 2002. The market has been very successful in attracting athletic young males to frequent consumption patterns. As the category has grown and matured, its appeal has widened to include weekend athletes and teenagers. In 2002, manufacturers are developing an even wider message to convert kids in the 6-12 age group, women, and older adults.

Competition for market dominator Gatorade has surged dramatically with Powerade's 2001 repositioning, substantially higher marketing budget from parent Coca-Cola, and price cuts. Further competition will come from All Sport, which PepsiCo divested to Monarch upon the purchase of Gatorade. Monarch has totally reformulated the product to compete directly with the market leader.

A second development that will greatly impact sports drinks is the proliferation of crossover products that combine the benefits of, for instance, bottled water with sports drinks, fruit juice with sports drinks, and energy drinks with sports drinks. This activity will ultimately diminish sales in individual categories, while presumably increasing the total beverage market-or at least the market share of those with the best-executed ideas.
