HEADLINES
Juice registers current retail value growth of 5% to reach DKK2.0 billion and retail volume
growth of 1% to reach 111 million litres in 2015
Nectars boosts sales of juice in Denmark in 2015
Rynkeby Foods remains the clear leader with 40% of retail volume sales
Juice is expected to register a retail value CAGR of 9% (constant 2015 prices) over the
forecast period to reach DKK3.0 billion and a retail volume CAGR of 4% to reach 134 million
litres in 2020
TRENDS
Unfrozen nectars was the fastest-growing category in juice, with a 100% retail volume
increase in 2015. The category grew from low base of under 1 million litres in 2013 to 7 million
litres in 2015. The category was boosted by the escalating popularity of drinking aloe vera
nectars and launches by Rynkeby Foods. Hansen & Co launched Aloe Vera Njie, which is a
Swedish brand owned by Njie Group. Aloe Vera Njie is a superfruit nectar, rich in nutrients,
with superior antioxidant quality and potential health benefits. Rynkeby Foods launched a
product extension to its Rynkeby brand in unfrozen nectars. Rynkeby was the leading brand
in juice in 2015, and has a long-standing presence in reconstituted 100% juice category.
Total volume sales of juice declined at the start of the review period, as a consequence of the
high sugar content of the drink, which encouraged more consumers to switch to other types of
soft drinks or tap water. However there was no drop in 2013 and 2015, which could have
been a consequence of the removal of the sugar tax. The tax was reduced by 50% during
summer 2013 and abolished on 1 January 2014. The boost came from unfrozen juice drinks
and unfrozen nectars, since 100% juice was not negatively affected as the tax did not apply to
such products. Apart from that the appearance of aloe vera drinks in unfrozen nectars
contributed to further growth of the category.
Retail unit prices of juice increased in 2014 and 2015, despite the removal of the sugar tax,
after a decline in 2013. Unit prices were boosted by unfrozen nectars, thanks to aloe vera
drinks. The unit price of aloe vera drinks is high for example, 1 litre of Aloe Vera Njie cost
almost DKK40. The product comes in 50cl PET bottles the brand owners focus on quality
and image combined with the small pack size result in a high unit price.
The most popular juice flavours are orange and apple, however the popularity of these
claimed over the last decade due to the advance of more speciality and exotic flavours, such
as grapefruit and mixed fruits. There were many variants available in 2015 combinations of
various types of fruit offered in small quantities.
Packaged juice faced growing competition from freshly squeezed juice, smoothies and bottled
water in foodservice, particularly cafs and full-service restaurants. Hotels tend to offer the
option of freshly squeezed juice, mainly orange juice, which clearly boosts sales of fruit at the
expense of sales of juice products in Denmark.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Danish player Rynkeby Foods remained the clear leader with 40% of retail value sales in
2015. The company is present in 100% juice and in the fastest-growing category unfrozen
nectars. The company sells the brands God Morgon and Rynkeby (both owned by Arla Foods
Amba at a global level), and Tropicana (PepsiCo Inc).
Hansen & Co A/S registered the strongest retail volume growth of 151% in 2015. The
companys share increased by one percentage point due to surging sales of the Aloe Vera
Njie brand in nectars, which is a Swedish aloe vera drink. The drink, which was launched in
2014, boosted volume sales of nectars from a low base in Denmark.
Juice is dominated by regional and local players, mainly due to the prominent position of
Rynkeby Foods. Coop Danmark A/S ranked second with 11% of retail volume sales in 2015.
Rynkeby Foods is not only a leading player in juice but also is an active innovator, which was
reflected in several new product launches. In June 2015, the company launched Rynkeby
Naturig Tranebr nectars (a new addition to the Naturig range) and Rynkeby Sport Concentrated Beetroot (beetroot juice flavoured with lime, passion fruit, lemon juice and
vitamin C, which claims to reduce fatigue and exhaustion).
Hansen & Co was another active player in terms of product launches. The company launched
Firefly, which is an old favourite relaunched in 400ml PET and 330ml glass bottles. Firefly
does not contain any artificial flavours, but is packed with fruit of the highest quality and
seasoned with natural ingredients. The company launched Cocomax, which is 100% coconut
water, Bornholms Mosteri (which is produced by socially marginalised people who get an
opportunity for a new life in an inclusive workplace where production is adapted for
employees' needs for quiet time and gentleness), and Njie Aloe Vera nectar.
PROSPECTS
Unfrozen nectars will be the fastest-growing category in juice, helping juice as a whole record
positive growth over the forecast period in Denmark. The brand Njie Aloe Vera is expected to
see further growth over the forecast period, which might be accompanied by other aloe vera
nectars at the beginning of the forecast period. Aloe vera drinks sales are driven by the
products healthy image, due to its high content of nutrients, superior antioxidant quality and
potential health benefits.
Juice is expected to register a retail volume CAGR of 4% over the forecast period, fuelled by
surging sales of nectars. Unfrozen nectars is expected to register a retail volume CAGR of
33% over the forecast period, with growth from a low base. The trend towards consuming
high-sugar-content products less often is set to continue over the forecast period.
A threat to the category will be products relatively high sugar content, which will be reflected
in flat retail volume growth in 100% juice as a result of its high sugar content. Another threat
to growth would be the reintroduction of sugar tax, although this is unlikely in the foreseeable
future. Discussions about the acidic content of juice, which can corrode teeth, in social media
could be another threat to growth.
It is expected that even more high quality juice products with a focus on health will be
introduced. These products will be usually packed in PET bottles, which will reflect the juices
higher quality. PET bottles are transparent, and contents can be easily seen and scrutinised.
Consumers will continue to indulge themselves with freshly-squeezed juice and smoothies,
which fit better with the healthy lifestyle and on-the-go consumption trends.
Juice is expected to go through significant transformations which will take a long time but
change the face of the product category significantly. It is expected that even more brands will

Passport
JUICE IN DENMARK
Passport
be launched in PET bottles, which make the product more visible and premium positioned.
The focus on high quality and low sugar content will remain important, as competition from
freshly-squeezed juice from fresh fruit will intensify.
Growth opportunities lie in nectars, where aloe vera drinks are launched usually. However,
the appearance of aloe vera-based drinks in other categories with the right marketing and
image would boost sales of 100% juice or juice drinks. Coconut water has yet to make a
major breakthrough in juice but this remains a possibility, despite the focus on aloe vera
drinks.
Aloe vera drinks are expected to remain popular and be the key drivers of juice. Flavour
extensions are usually launched temporarily to keep certain brands active and catch the
attention of even more consumers. If a certain flavour is successful it is expected to remain
available for longer.
