In 2024, all significant categories of soft drinks in Ethiopia saw good total volume growth, supported by fast urbanisation and population growth, improving economic indicators, stronger distribution, advertising and company activity. Bottled water, with by far the fastest total volume growth in 2024, continued to gain from the concerns over the quality and safety of tap water.
Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
The consumption of soft drinks in Ethiopia registered healthy growth in 2024, despite lingering problems like political stability, high inflation and fuel and product price hikes. Urbanisation and population growth were leading contributors to the increase in the consumption of soft drinks.
Country background
Ethiopia is the second most populous country in Africa, behind Nigeria, reaching 132 million people in 2024. The population distribution in Ethiopia tilts towards younger generations, with an albeit gradually rising median age of 20 years in 2024.
Socioeconomic trends
Ethiopia continued to experience high, if slower, inflation in 2024. The high level of inflation and price increases towards the end of the review period have had an impact on the patterns of consumer purchases in soft drinks.
Logistics/infrastructure
In July 2023, it was announced that the Addis-Djibouti corridor, a vital trade route and a lifeline for Ethiopia's population, would receive a significant upgrade as part of the newly approved Horn of Africa Initiative’s Regional Economic Corridor Project. The project, endowed with a USD730 million grant from the International Development Association (IDA), aims to improve regional connectivity and logistics efficiency in Ethiopia along this key trade route connecting landlocked Ethiopia to the port of Djibouti.
What next for soft drinks?
There is expected to be a strong increase in the consumption of different types of soft drinks in Ethiopia over the forecast period. Overall, on-trade volume sales are projected to grow at a slightly faster rate than off-trade volume sales.
