Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Soft drinks in Tunisia has experienced stagnation in 2024, with a noticeable volume decline across several subcategories. This downturn can be attributed to a combination of rising product prices, diminishing purchasing power among Tunisian consumers, and the broader economic crisis impacting the nation.
2024 key trends
A pronounced health and wellness trend has characterised soft drinks in 2024, marked by a notable rise in the availability of reduced-sugar and low-calorie products, particularly within carbonates and juice. However, the prevalence of smuggled goods remains an issue, with juices and energy drinks frequently appearing in small grocery retailers.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, the competitive landscape of Tunisia's soft drinks market has remained relatively stable, with domestic companies continuing to dominate most subcategories. Délice stands out as the most dynamic player, showcasing significant growth across juice, bottled water, and carbonates through its commitment to innovation and frequent new product launches.
Retailing developments
Traditional grocery retailers have maintained their position as the primary distribution channel for soft drinks in Tunisia. However, the discounter channel Aziza has recorded substantial growth, capturing a larger share of the market through its competitive pricing and accessibility.
Foodservice vs retail split
The foodservice sector, particularly restaurants and cafés, has witnessed notable growth in Tunisia, with the number of outlets expanding steadily each year. This development has bolstered demand for certain soft drink categories, such as liquid concentrates and energy drinks.
What next for soft drinks?
Looking ahead, soft drinks in Tunisia is expected to face continued challenges, with a significant stagnation in volume terms and even a potential decline in demand over the coming years. Rising prices, driven by escalating transport and production costs, are likely to persist, further straining consumer affordability.
