Lebanon remains embroiled in an economic crisis with elevated inflation and a weak local currency negatively impacting consumer purchasing power, while local businesses have seen their margins squeezed..
Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Shifting demographics and an increasing population of conservative Muslims has led to increased demand for all types of juice. Fresh 100% juice brands like Balkis and Le Pre are benefiting from this trend.
Country background
Soft drinks is an important category in Lebanon with bottled water becoming a necessity due to concerns over the quality of the tap water, with many homes not even being connected to official water supplies. The unstable situation in the country has led to Lebanon’s water governance and infrastructure becoming neglected and this has encouraged more consumers to switch to bottled water, with most people no longer trusting the quality of the tap water.
Socioeconomic trends
Despite everything that has impacted the market in recent years most categories of soft drinks still registered growth in retail volume terms in 2024. That being said, some grocery retailers in the south of Lebanon reported a drop in economic activity due to the spillover effect from the Israel-Hezbollah conflict.
Logistics/infrastructure
While Lebanon’s private sector has recovered somewhat, the public sector is still bankrupt and the situation is getting much worse. Lebanon’s deeply rooted infrastructure issues have been further exacerbated with the continuation of the economic crisis and the spillover effect from the Israel-Hamas war.
What next for soft drinks?
Sales of soft drinks are expected to see strong and steady growth in retail volume terms over the forecast period. Products such as bottled water, juice and carbonates are seen as daily necessities by many consumers, especially in the case of bottled water.
