Rebound of bottled water supports overall growth of soft drinks
Retail volume sales of soft drinks in Tunisia increased in 2025, driven largely by the strong performance of the bottled water category, which supported overall volume growth. However, the economic crisis, inflation, and significant price increases led to declining demand across several categories, including carbonates, while demand for others, such as juice, stagnated. Bottled water rebounded in 2025 after two consecutive years of decline, following earlier restrictions and regulations imposed by the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Health that had limited water extraction volumes to protect underground water resources.
