Soft drinks in 2023: The big picture
Due to dramatic price hikes in food, utilities and energy prices, consumers were forced to cut down on non-essentials, impacting soft drinks. Alongside supermarket sales of soft drinks decreasing, impulse purchases through kiosks and convenience stores also suffered. The decline in disposable incomes equally impacted on trade performance, although most product sales were growing in line with the loss seen during COVID-19.
