Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The size was built upward from unit volumes: retail liter sales of squash concentrate estimated from grocery and convenience-channel sell-through data, combined with foodservice dilution-ratio volumes drawn from catering and hospitality beverage-cost benchmarks, then carried at average realized price per liter across the bottle, carton and pouch formats that make up the category. Realized prices were checked against list pricing published by major retailers in the United Kingdom, Australia and India, three markets where squash carries meaningful private-label and branded shelf presence. Where the bottom-up volume-times-price build diverged from revenue disclosed by Britvic PLC and Lucozade Ribena Suntory in their own reporting, the volume or price assumption feeding the build was revisited and corrected rather than averaged against the disclosed figure.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Primary research for this market targets commercial and procurement contacts at retail buying groups, category managers at grocery chains, and beverage-sourcing managers at foodservice and catering operators, roles that set the volume and pricing assumptions feeding the bottom-up build. Regulatory contacts covering sugar-content and labeling rules are included in the United Kingdom and other markets where reformulation obligations affect realized pricing. Sampling emphasizes the United Kingdom, other parts of Europe and India, the markets where squash carries the deepest retail penetration and the most active private-label competition, with lighter coverage extended into Australia and Middle Eastern markets where the category exists but at smaller scale relative to the leading markets.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on retailer own-brand and branded pricing data published across major United Kingdom and Australian grocery chains, HS code 2106.90 trade and customs records covering cross-border movement of beverage concentrates and syrups, and sugar-tax and reformulation registers published by public health authorities in the United Kingdom and select European markets. National statistical office household expenditure surveys covering non-alcoholic beverage spending inform the demand-side check, and company annual reports filed by Britvic PLC, Lucozade Ribena Suntory and other publicly reporting suppliers named in this report provide the revenue figures the bottom-up build is checked against.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from continued household penetration growth in Asia Pacific grocery channels, gradual foodservice channel recovery toward pre-pandemic dilutable-beverage usage, and a steady mix shift toward reduced-sugar and organic formulations that carry higher realized prices. The 2020-2021 volume dip in foodservice consumption is treated as a temporary disruption rather than a structural change in demand and is normalized out of the trend used to project forward years. For the forecast to hold, organized retail infrastructure in emerging Asia Pacific markets needs to keep expanding at its recent pace, and sugar-reduction reformulation needs to proceed without triggering a consumer rejection of reformulated taste profiles.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

Outputs were checked by back-testing the 2020-2024 historical build against recorded retail sales growth reported by major grocery chains in the United Kingdom and Australia, two markets with the most consistent public reporting for this category. Segment-level shifts, including the reallocation of share toward mixed berries and mango flavors and toward organic formulations, were reviewed against category managers' stated shelf-planning intentions gathered in primary interviews. Sensitivities were tested on the pace of foodservice channel recovery and on the rate of sugar-reduction reformulation, the two assumptions with the widest plausible range, to confirm the base case sits between the bear and bull bounds under reasonable variation in either input.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Confidence is firmer in the United Kingdom, Australian and Indian markets, where retailer pricing data and company revenue disclosures give the bottom-up build a direct check. It is weaker in Middle Eastern and African markets, where reporting on household beverage spending is thin and the estimate relies more on adjacent-market analogues than on direct disclosure. The clearest structural risk to the estimate is a faster-than-assumed consumer shift toward ready-to-drink beverages in markets where squash currently holds a strong home-dilution habit; a shift of that kind would pull volume growth below the base case sooner than currently modeled.
