Volume sales of soft drinks continue to perform well in 2025
Retail volume sales of soft drinks continue to perform well in the Dominican Republic in 2025. The country’s favourable economic climate has positioned it as one of the strongest economies in the region. According to World Bank projections, economic growth was expected to reach around 4% in 2025, with steady expansion anticipated in the years ahead. Rising per capita income, up 750% over the past three decades, according to the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic, has supported shifts in consumption patterns.
