Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Soft drinks in Slovenia is experiencing moderate off-trade volume growth in 2024, whilst solid value growth is driven by the lingering impact of inflationary pressure and price increases. The competitive landscape is changing and e-commerce continues to shape the entire market, boosting its potential.
2024 key trends
The health and wellness trend continues to have significant impact on consumers’ purchasing decisions and manufacturers’ strategies. Rising health awareness is driving the expansion of soft drinks with a reduced sugar content, especially in carbonates, where reduced sugar options are growing much faster than regular alternatives.
Competitive landscape
Due to the strong market presence of the Coca-Cola brand in carbonates, Coca-Cola HBC Slovenija doo leads soft drinks value sales in 2024, followed by Slovenia’s favourite soft drinks manufacturer Fructal dd, which is now part of Nectar doo. Private label continues to pose a significant threat to well-established brands due to the challenge of inflation and rising prices, and the war in Ukraine.
Retailing developments
Supermarkets and hypermarkets account for the majority of off-trade volume sales of soft drinks in 2024, although the popularity of discounters is growing at a pace. The latter have widened their range of offerings to satisfy the needs of budget-conscious consumers.
Foodservice vs retail split
Soft drinks foodservice volume sales have fully recovered and are surpassing their pre-pandemic levels in 2024. A successful tourist season and prolonged heatwaves are also contributing to the growth of foodservice sales, as are increasingly hectic lifestyles outside the home.
What next for soft drinks?
The health and wellness trend is expected to significantly influence the performance of soft drinks in Slovenia over the forecast period. Regular sugar-based soft drinks will face further scrutiny from government regulatory bodies, which could lead to tax increases and price hikes.
