Growth of soft drinks sales in 2025 though demand is hampered by soaring inflation
Retail volume sales of soft drinks rose at a moderate rate in 2025. Demand for soft drinks is closely tied to affordability, as soaring inflation and currency depreciation continue to strain household disposable income and raise manufacturing costs. These economic pressures have driven consumers towards locally produced options, particularly in bottled water, carbonates, and juice. The soft drinks landscape is also increasingly shaped by government initiatives aimed at revitalising local manufacturing to foster long-term economic growth. At the same time, health-conscious preferences are gaining momentum, with low-sugar drinks and functional beverages becoming increasingly popular among middle- and high-income urban shoppers.
