Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
In Latvia, in 2024, soft drinks is expected to see volume sales fall marginally through retail channels, with volume decline being more pronounced through foodservice channels. Though inflation has eased considerably, continuing population decline is expected to dampen volume sales.
2024 key trends
Soft drinks in general are perceived as having high sugar content and being unhealthy and across the board, there is a focus on a healthier positioning. As such, reduced sugar offerings in soft drinks such as within carbonates and energy drinks, are expected to register the highest volume growth in 2024.
Competitive landscape
In Latvia, the competitive landscape in soft drinks continues to be led by local company Cido Grupa SIA in 2024, followed by Coca-Cola HBC Latvia SIA, with these two players being the only ones to hold a double-digit percentage volume share. Cido Grupa SIA offers the leading brand, that is bottled water brand Mangali.
Retailing developments
As Lidl continues to open stores in Latvia in 2024, the share of discounters continues to grow. However, volume share is still low, with supermarkets accounting for the bulk of soft drink sales, followed by hypermarkets and convenience stores.
Foodservice vs retail split
Overall, volume decline is expected to be higher through foodservice than retail channels in 2024. Though inflation has eased, after several years of price hikes, consumers continue to be price sensitive, and as such eat out less and this dampens volume sales of soft drinks through foodservice.
What next for soft drinks?
The picture will be unchanged over the forecast period, with volume sales remaining stable. Though inflation will be less of an issue, consumers will continue to be price sensitive and players will need to support volume sales by offering frequent discounts and promotions.
