II.2.4) Description of the procurement

Fruit-based beverages containing between 5 percent and 99 percent fruit are considered to be fruit drinks, rather than fruit juice. Fruit drinks often contain more water than real juice and usually have flavourings, artificial sweeteners and colourings added. This segment also includes dilutables such as cordials, squash, powders and other concentrates. Over the five years through 2021to22, revenue generated by this segment is expected to have decreased, reaching 2 percent of industry revenue. This decline largely stems from growing concerns over excessive sugar consumption and growing consumer preferences for on the go beverages.Branded and premium still soft drinksBranded and premium fruit juice, soft drinksBranded and premium smoothies soft drinksBranded and premium flavoured milk soft drinks

This segment includes pure mineral water. Over the majority of the five years through 2021 to 22, revenue derived from this segment has increased boosted by rising consumer awareness of the high sugar content of many alternative soft drinks. However, temporary closure of hospitality establishments, social distancing restrictions and individuals working from home is expected to dampen demand for bottled water. Growing environmental consciousness and concerns over single use plastic have also encouraged consumers to purchase refillable water bottles.Branded and premium bottled still and sparkling water.Branded and premium bottled still and sparkling flavoured water.
