Convenience, affordability, and health drive sales
Soft drinks remain deeply embedded in Georgian consumption habits, while increasingly busy lifestyles, tourism, and a growing interest in healthier options are reinforcing demand. However, consumers remain strongly price sensitive, prompting widespread promotions and demand for affordable products. Innovation focuses on packaging and flavour extensions rather than radical reformulation. The expansion of modern bricks-and-mortar retail, the rise of convenience-led purchasing, and the growing adoption of e-commerce are transforming how soft drinks reach consumers.
