Soft drinks saw a strong increase in total volumes in Iraq in 2024. Local products benefit from the government restricting or banning the import of soft drinks into Iraq.
Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Local production remains the primary supplier to the market. With the Iraqi Government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) agreeing on unified import regulations and the Iraqi Government gaining greater control over border points in the KRG, it is expected that the loopholes importers use to supply the market will be closed.
Country background
Overall, the trends seen in 2024 were similar to those of the previous year, though improved economic conditions facilitated stronger growth in the final year of the review period. Population growth and rapid urbanisation were the main reasons for the solid growth registered across all categories of soft drinks during 2024, with these background demographic trends expected to remain the most important factors to consider when assessing the future prospects for soft drinks in Iraq during the forecast period and beyond.
Socioeconomic trends
The main background trends that have been influencing soft drinks consumption in Iraq for some time continued to develop over the course of 2024. Amongst the most important of these are the social changes that have flowed from rapid urbanisation as people living in rural areas have flocked to Iraq’s major cities in search of work and better educational opportunities.
Logistics/infrastructure
As in many countries, high inflation remained a major issue for Iraq’s consumers towards the end of the review period, putting huge pressure on spending power as well as presenting major challenges to all companies operating in the country. Within this context, soft drinks companies faced substantial increases in their operating costs, although the revaluation of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar eased inflation pressures somewhat.
What next for soft drinks?
The main issue in the Iraqi soft drinks market is that local production is quite homogeneous, with most suppliers being mass producers with little or no history in soft drinks. As a result, the market is saturated with similar offerings.
