Fresca Juices aims Rs 150 crore revenue by 2020

Fresca Juices has announced its growth strategy aimed at driving its countrywide expansion plans. As part of the growth initiative, Fresca will build on its strong presence in regional markets across North India by strengthening its channel ecosystem, expanding the number of retail outlets, and improving product availability. The fruit juice brand will also increase its presence in high-growth markets across East, West, Central, and South India to substantially strengthen its pan-India footprint by 2022.

Commenting on the stellar growth, Akhil Gupta, Founder and Managing Director – Fresca Juices, said, “Since its inception, Fresca Juices has consistently raised the bar within the Indian fruit juice market by introducing greater variety and innovation in our market offerings. Having established ourselves amongst the top fruit juice brands in North and East India, we are now looking to build on the impressive reception that we have received from our customers and increase our pan-India presence by undertaking rapid expansion across the country. We have the capability to fulfil the surge in demand, as we currently have a daily production output of 3 lakh litres and 6 lakh bottles when operating on full installed capacity. The market reception that Fresca Juices products have received thus far makes us confident that our explosive growth trajectory will continue for months and years to come.”

The latest expansion is in line with Fresca Juices’ objective of achieving an annual revenue run rate of around INR 150 crore by 2020. As the first brand to introduce holographic packs in aseptic packaging in India, it also aims to capture 2% market share in the nector category and achieve 400% growth in the fruit drink category in aseptic packaging. The brand will also be looking to build on its market presence in North India by capturing 10% of the overall market share in northern states by 2021.

The brand has also been adding 700-900 new outlets on a daily basis, while augmenting its distribution and retail supply chain, and has made strong headway in the retail market by making its products available even in tier-4 geographies.

Ashok Chopra, Country Head- Fresca Juices said, “Our growth over the last few years is a validation of the strength of our distribution ecosystem. Along with consistent addition of 700-900 new outlets on a daily basis, we are augmenting our distribution and retail supply chain and planning to bring in more retailers, distributors, wholesalers into the Fresca Juices value chain. By expanding the number of physical outlets, we have made last mile availability of juices possible for a much larger consumer base, thus making our presence felt in markets as deep as Tier 4 cities.”
