Soft drinks in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, soft drinks in Vietnam is set to see positive off-trade and on-trade volume growth, largely due to an increase in inbound and local tourist numbers in the country. A Ministry of Tourism report from September 2024 indicates that Vietnam welcomed over 12.
2024 key trends
In 2024, key trends in soft drinks have included innovative products featuring new flavours and formats, an increased presence of sugar-free and reduced sugar options, and consumers actively seeking discount deals on e-commerce platforms. Consumer brand loyalty has been declining, as individuals are prioritising saving money, choosing more affordable products or waiting for discounts to make purchases at lower prices.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, the leading players in soft drinks in Vietnam in off-trade volume terms are expected to be Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverage Co Ltd, Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam Co Ltd, and Tan Hiep Phap Group. They are all actively engaged in marketing and advertising efforts to establish a robust brand identity.
Retailing developments
In 2024, Vietnamese consumers have shown an increasing interest in online shopping, driven by frequent discount campaigns and convenience. Companies such as Coca-Cola Beverages Vietnam and Suntory PepsiCo Vietnam Beverage have placed a greater emphasis on online platforms to boost their sales via e-commerce sites such as Shopee and Lazada, while also aiming to increase their reputation through social media channels such as Facebook and TikTok.
Foodservice vs retail split
In 2024, local consumers remain worried about economic downturn and job security, driven by slow recovery and ongoing wars globally. Some consumers are now cautious when making purchases in retail (off-trade), cutting back, or holding off on buying soft drinks until they receive deals from online stores or other merchants.
What next for soft drinks?
Over the forecast period, both on-trade and off-trade sales of soft drinks in Vietnam are projected to see growth in both volume and current value terms, partly driven by the increase in dining out and travel activities. The Ministry of Tourism anticipates 25 to 28 million international tourists and 130 million domestic tourists in 2025-2026, aiming for 35 million international tourists and 160 million domestic tourists by the end of 2030.
