Pricing discipline and digital engagement support soft drinks recovery
In the Philippines, off-trade soft drinks volume sales rose in 2025, supported by stronger marketing, improved distribution and stabilising prices despite ongoing inflationary pressure. Carbonates remained the largest category by volume, with cola variants sustaining their lead in value terms, while bottled water continued to benefit from its role as a daily essential. Affordability considerations are shaping strategy, prompting pack-size adjustments and sharp price points, alongside high-visibility campaigns that reinforce brand relevance across income groups. Health-led innovation is also widening, with reduced-sugar and functionality cues becoming more prominent across juice and energy drinks as brands seek differentiation. Over the forecast period, further growth is expected to be underpinned by digitalisation across retail and marketing, although packaged RTD tea and RTD coffee face rising competitive pressure from expanding foodservice options.
