Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
Soft drinks in Turkey posted robust volume growth over 2024, showing a notable increase on the previous year when sales were weakened by a devasting earthquake. Current value growth soared in high double-digits for the third consecutive year, driven by rising unit prices.
2024 key trends
In 2024, soft drinks felt the impact of changing consumer preferences towards healthier beverages. This shift led to higher sales of soft drinks that are perceived to be naturally healthy, such as bottled water, functional/fortified products enriched with vitamins and minerals, such as juice, and drinks that help to boost energy levels, such as sports and energy drinks.
Competitive landscape
Although Coca-Cola Içecek AS and Pepsi-Cola International Tanitim Ltd remain the leading companies in the soft drinks over 2024, these players faced pressure from some consumers opting to boycott Western brands in response to the Israel-Hamas War. By contrast, private label and some local brands have been performing better in some categories.
Retailing developments
Discounters, supermarkets and retail e-commerce have all seen growth in 2024, taking share from small local grocers. Discounters have been expanding at speed with new outlets opening in neighbourhoods throughout the country.
Foodservice vs retail split
The on-trade channel has experienced slower growth over the past two years due to the impact of the 2023 earthquake and ongoing economic challenges in the country. Despite this downturn, the on-trade channel still achieved volume growth, driven by an increase in tourism and the dining and drinking habits of higher-income individuals.
What next for soft drinks?
Soft drinks is projected to record a strong performance in volume and value terms over the forecast period. Both off-trade and on-trade sales are expected to post healthy results as the economy improves and purchasing power improves.
