A shift to heathier soft drinks
Volume growth is minimal as population decline dampens volume sales. However, there is a noticeable shift towards healthier soft drinks, with carbonates losing out, and soft drinks such as RTD tea and juice gaining. Volume growth is also high for energy drinks and this will continue into the forecast period, despite growing concerns about the health impact of high caffeine drinks.
