PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Innovation in flavour and functionality expected to continue driving carbonates
Within innovation, flavours and functionality are key drivers of growth. In 2024, Coca-Cola introduced a lemon-flavoured cola to its permanent range.
Promotions, limited editions and collaborations will continue to influence demand
Limited editions are very popular in the UK as they allow suppliers to enter new channels, such as on-trade for a certain amount of time, helping to gain brand visibility and engagement. They help generate excitement, especially amongst younger consumers, who are the main target audience for many soft drinks brands.
Brands respond to consumer push for greater sustainability by implementing more eco-friendly practices
Consumers in the UK are increasingly concerned about climate change and CO2 emissions. According to Euromonitor International’s Voice of the Consumer: Lifestyles Survey (fielded January to February 2024), more than half of respondents selected recyclable packaging and 40% selected refillable/reusable packaging.
