Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Following a difficult economic situation in 2023, which came following the challenging pandemic years, it was hoped that the operating environment would improve for soft drinks brands in Spain in 2024. In general, it can be said that the economic situation has improved in this year in comparison with 2023, although it is still not fully back to normal.
2024 key trends
An interesting development in 2024 has been the focus of many brands on diversification. That is, they have been expanding their ranges to include a variety of different flavours and ingredients in order to attract and retain the attention and interest of consumers, who are keen for good consumption experiences and are willing to flit between brands to try new products.
Competitive landscape
Cia Servicios de Bebidas Refrescantes SL is set to continue to lead soft drinks in Spain in off-trade value terms in 2024, thanks to its significant presence in carbonates, but also due to its offer in some other categories – such as sports drinks with its Aquarius brand. In fact, Aquarius is the leader in sports drinks in Spain.
Retailing developments
Supermarkets is expected to remain the largest off-trade distribution channel for soft drinks in volume terms in 2024, and the channel is likely to remain the largest during the next five years in Spain. Discounters, which is the second-largest sales channel, is once again set to see growth in its off-trade volume sales and share during the year, with this channel benefitting from heightened consumer interest due to the often-lower prices these outlets offer.
Foodservice vs retail split
In 2024, the majority of soft drinks volume sales took place in the off-trade (retail) channel. 2024 represented another step on the journey back to the split between the two channels recovering to the pre-pandemic level, following the profound impact of COVID-19.
What next for soft drinks?
In overall soft drinks in Spain growth is expected in the forecast period both off-trade and on-trade, in both volume and current value terms. However, growth rates are likely to be low, representing a period of stabilisation after a few years of shocks and unusual events.
