Economic and socio-political developments shape the soft drinks industry
Retail volume sales of soft drinks rose in 2025 with the industry in Oman in 2025 having been significantly shaped by both economic and socio-political developments. A particularly notable factor has been the conscious favouring among consumers of local and regional brands over Western alternatives in response to the Israel-Hamas war, a movement that has gained considerable traction in Oman. This has led to a pronounced shift in consumer preferences towards national and regional brands, which have increasingly filled shelves across retail outlets. In terms of the on-trade, there was a continued resurgence of out-of-home dining in 2025 which was accompanied by rising health awareness, particularly among middle- to high-income consumers, which has influenced daytime snacking habits and driven demand for healthier options, including select soft drinks. As a result, niche categories, such as 100% fresh juice and not-from-concentrate juice, have experienced sustained growth. This trend is closely linked to Oman’s high prevalence of obesity and diabetes, especially among children, prompting parents to make more health-conscious purchasing decisions.
