Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Overall, soft drinks in Kazakhstan are expected to register moderate volume growth through retail channels, with volume growth being higher through foodservice. While inflation growth has slowed, prices are still rising.
2024 key trends
Volume sales of reduced sugar versions are insignificant. as consumers still continue to prefer sweeter soft drinks.
Competitive landscape
Coca-Cola Almaty Bottlers SP continues to lead soft drinks in Kazakhstan in 2024 in volume terms, although with a slight decline in share, with RG Brands AO and Galanz Bottlers AO in second and third place respectively.
Retailing developments
In 2024, Kazakhstan's retail landscape continues to evolve with significant development in modern grocery retailers, especially in supermarkets and hypermarkets. While small local grocers still account for significant volume sales, particularly in rural regions, the shift towards modern grocery retailers is becoming more pronounced in urban centres like Almaty and Astana.
Foodservice vs retail split
While retail channels account for significantly more volume sales, growth is expected to be higher through foodservice channels. However, on-trade growth is expected to slow compared with the previous year, with the growth in tourist numbers tapering off.
What next for soft drinks?
The outlook is positive over the forecast period, with an increasing population, as well lower inflation, supporting volume sales. That being said, consumers will remain price sensitive, and promotions and discounts will continue to be an important tool to drive volume sales.
