Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Despite ongoing inflationary pressures during the first half of the year, volume sales of soft drinks in the Philippines are poised for robust growth across both on-trade and off-trade channels in 2024. This positive outlook is largely driven by a resurgence in consumer mobility, which has supported spending in foodservice establishments as Filipinos return to their fast-paced routines and spend more time outside the home.
2024 key trends
Health and wellness concerns continue to shape the soft drinks market in the Philippines in 2024, with leading players like Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines and Mondelez Philippines responding to growing consumer demand for healthier alternatives. Specifically, Coca-Cola’s 200ml PET pack for Coke Zero saw a significant increase in distribution, particularly in traditional retailers.
Competitive landscape
International companies Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines and Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines continue to dominate the competitive landscape for soft drinks in the Philippines, thanks largely to their unmatched efforts in terms of marketing and distribution. Both companies not only benefit from widespread product availability in traditional retailers but have also built strong ties with on-trade establishments, including local eateries.
Retailing developments
Small local grocers, notably, sari-sari stores, continue to dominate retail landscape for soft drinks in the Philippines. While modern formats, such as convenience stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets, offer attractive prices, the sheer number of sari-sari stores across the Philippines makes the channel more convenient for day-to-day shopping for most local consumers.
Foodservice vs retail split
While retail channels continued to account for the majority of volume sales in soft drinks, demand via the on-trade channel is expected to experience rapid growth in 2024. The return of consumers to their physical workplaces, coupled with an increase in foot traffic in malls, cafés, restaurants, and other public spaces, has created new opportunities for soft drink consumption outside the home.
What next for soft drinks?
Volume sales of soft drinks in the Philippines are expected to continue expanding over the forecast period, supported by improving economic conditions that will allow consumers to allocate more spending to perceived non-essential products, including soft drinks. As consumer purchasing power rises, brands will increasingly focus on tapping into emerging growth areas, such as healthier alternatives, as Filipinos seek to reduce their sugar intake.
