Retail volume sales of soft drinks registered slow growth in 2024. Although rising health consciousness supported growth in juice to the detriment of carbonates, carbonates and bottled water remained the largest categories with reduced sugar variants in the former gaining significant popularity.
Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, soft drinks in El Salvador showed positive, albeit moderate, growth in volume sales in the retail channel, with their performance being somewhat more dynamic in the foodservice industry. However, this growth was more dynamic in value than in volume, given that the category continued to experience price increases, although to a lesser extent than in previous years.
Country background
Carbonates and bottled water are the largest categories in the soft drinks industry. The former is popular as these products are accessibly priced, while the latter is considered a necessity given the poor quality of municipal tap water in the country.
Socioeconomic trends
After controversial presidential elections, given the constitutional modifications that were made for its validation, Nayib Bukele was re-elected by majority vote as president of El Salvador in 2024. Among his electoral promises, he continues his fight to eradicate poverty and gang violence.
Logistics/infrastructure
For the most part, El Salvador enjoys good road infrastructure in and around the larger urbanised areas. However, the country's road infrastructure remains poor in some rural areas, with government investment being hindered by liquidity problems and a high budget deficit.

Although in 2024, 81.2% of the population had a water supply in their homes, this resource is perceived by the majority as not suitable for direct consumption, with constant complaints of being contaminated.
