Solid performance for soft drinks
Soft drinks recorded a flat performance in volume terms during 2025. Weaker demand in the on-trade was offset by a stronger performance in the retail channel. Health and wellness trends continue to shape purchasing behaviour, although taste remains key in some categories. Many consumers chose to reduce the quantity of soft drinks in favour of a quality offering with functional benefits, contributing to retail value growth.
