Soft drinks landscape becomes increasingly polarised
In 2025, the Slovenian soft drinks industry was shaped by polarised consumer behaviour: while health-conscious consumers drove demand for functional and low-sugar beverages, cost-conscious shoppers increasingly favoured private label options. Premiumisation strengthened niche categories like RTD tea, RTD coffee, sports drinks, and functional bottled water. Supermarkets and hypermarkets remained central to distribution, with e-commerce expanding rapidly, offering convenience, broader product choice, and enhanced visibility for emerging brands.
