Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, soft drinks in Bosnia and Herzegovina has continued to experience moderate consumer demand growth, resulting in steady off-trade retail volume expansion and solid off-trade retail sales value increases. This performance has been bolstered by rising product prices and the lingering effects of inflation, which have started to subside but continue to impact purchasing behaviour.
2024 key trends
Health and wellness trends have significantly influenced the soft drinks landscape, with categories such as sports drinks and juice experiencing robust demand growth. Increasing awareness of the need to reduce sugar intake and avoid sugary beverages has driven this shift, negatively affecting categories like carbonates and liquid concentrates.
Competitive landscape
Coca-Cola HBC B-H doo has maintained its leading position in 2024, benefiting from the enduring strength of its Coca-Cola brand portfolio within the carbonates category. However, the company has faced challenges due to the declining appeal of regular cola carbonates among health-conscious consumers, resulting in a reduced market share.
Retailing developments
Traditional grocery retailers have retained their dominant role in distributing bulky categories like bottled water, juice, and carbonates, which are typically purchased close to home for convenience. However, modern grocery retailers have continued to gain market share by offering a broader range of products and leveraging their superior storage and display capabilities.
Foodservice vs retail split
The recovery of foodservice sales has progressed steadily, with on-trade volume sales surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 2023 and continuing to grow in 2024. Nevertheless, off-trade channels dominate in volume terms, accounting for the vast majority of sales, while on-trade sales represent a fraction.
What next for soft drinks?
Looking ahead, soft drinks is expected to achieve moderate yet stable growth in both off-trade volume and value terms, provided the political situation remains stable. Health and wellness trends will continue to shape the industry, driving premiumisation and boosting sales of healthier product ranges such as bottled water, reduced-sugar beverages, and 100% juice.
