Quarterly Beverage Tracker Fourth Quarter 2016: Bosnia & Herzegovina
Summary
The weather during the quarter was usual and did not affect sales of soft drinks, though Q4-16 was followed by a cold start to 2017. Soft drinks market declined in Q4-16 due to the poor carbonated flavored water performance. ACB categories contracted slower than soft drinks. Additional competition in bulk/HOD waters and extreme cold and flu season in hot teas, provided the positive trend for those categories, but most relevant ACB segments, namely beer, hot coffee and white milk recorded very slight drop.
