Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, both off-trade volume and current value growth of soft drinks in China are set to maintain mid single-digit increases. Health remains a crucial factor influencing the consumption behaviour of Chinese consumers, especially in soft drinks.
2024 key trends
In 2024, Chinese consumers’ pursuit of health in soft drinks is not only reflected in their preference for reduced sugar and sugar-free products, but also in their increasing focus on simpler and cleaner ingredient lists. Products such as pure tea beverages, with their clean ingredient profile and refreshing taste, have seen steadily rising sales.
Competitive landscape
In terms of overall off-trade value sales in soft drinks in China in 2024, Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holdings Corp is set to maintain its leadership, due to its steady performance in categories such as regular still RTD tea, bottled water, and carbonates. Meanwhile, thanks to its continuous growth in RTD tea and sports drinks, Nongfu Spring Co Ltd is expected to surpassed Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holdings Corp in overall soft drinks in terms of off-trade volume sales for the first time in 2024.
Retailing developments
In 2024, supermarkets and small local grocers are expected to remain the primary distribution channels for Chinese consumers to purchase soft drinks, followed by convenience stores and hypermarkets. Meanwhile, with ongoing urbanisation, the coverage and penetration rate of convenience stores in China has gradually increased.
Foodservice vs retail split
In 2024, sales through the retail channel (off-trade) are set to continue to dominate total volume sales of soft drinks, while foodservice (on-trade) is expected to account for only a single-digit share of total sales. Although the growth rates for soft drinks volume and value sales in foodservice have rebounded compared with the pandemic period, changes in the economic environment have meant that consumer spending on dining out has not resurged significantly.
What next for soft drinks?
During the forecast period, the total consumption of soft drinks in China is expected to continue its slow growth trajectory, despite significant differences between various categories. Overall, Chinese consumer demand for soft drinks remains relatively stable.
