Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
The soft drinks market in Indonesia continues to expand, although the pace of volume growth has slowed somewhat compared to the previous year. Cost-of-living concerns remain a significant challenge, with demand remaining below pre-pandemic levels.
2024 key trends
Price-based promotions continue to be a central strategy for soft drinks companies in Indonesia to attract consumers, especially amid the weakened purchasing power observed in 2024. Energy drink brands such as Kratingdaeng and M-150 frequently implement discount pricing while RTD coffee brands like Good Day and Kopiko 78 rely on promotional discounts to maintain market competitiveness.
Competitive landscape
Danone Aqua continues as the top-ranked company in the soft drinks industry, with an anticipated increase its share of retail value sales in 2024. Despite the tough economic environment, Danone Aqua consistently maintains robust distribution in both modern and traditional retail channels, as well as a growing presence in e-commerce.
Retailing developments
Small local grocers and convenience stores remain the most popular channels for Indonesian consumers to purchase soft drink products. These outlets provide accessibility and convenience, aligning well with busy lifestyles.
Foodservice vs retail split
Another reason for the slower growth under the on-trade channel is the trend of offering food packages with free freshly brewed tea or free refills of non-bottled mineral water made by several players under FSR and LSR players, which is preferred by those who seek for more value for money meals.
What next for soft drinks?
Despite continuing to see positive growth, total volume shares of soft drinks in Indonesia are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels before the conclusion of the forecast period. This subdued recovery reflects ongoing economic challenges, including five consecutive months of deflation in 2024 - an event last seen during the 1999 monetary crisis.
