Indian soft drink industry to rebound next year with 10% growth despite weather disruptions: Report
The Indian soft drink industry is expected to return to a growth rate of over 10 per cent next year, which is impacted in the current year due to weather disruptions, said a report by Systematix Institutional Equities . The Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) industry is expected to deliver strong double-digit growth medium-term; historically, it has grown 13-14 per cent. The report citing the experts stated that the carbonated soft drinks (CSD) market of Rs 300 billion should deliver strong double-digit growth over the medium term. By definition, Carbonated Soft Drinks are non-alcoholic beverages containing usually carbonated water and flavouring and then sweetened with sugar or a non-caloric sweetener. The Indian markets consist mainly of Liquid Refreshment Beverages (LRB), which include CSD, water, juices & nectars/juice-based drinks, energy drinks, and sports drinks. Soft drinks make up 40-45 per cent of the overall market, energy drinks 8-10 per cent, juices 5 per cent, and sports drinks 1-2 per cent; the balance is water. About 50 per cent of the market is with local players and 50 per cent with major players, Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina, and Bailey. The report highlighted that per capita beverage consumption is low in India, even lower than in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Going further, the report added that post-GST competition from regional players has eased in the Indian markets. The Bindu-Jeera drink in the South and Karachi Soda in the North had a 75-80 per cent category share, which is also coming down, the report added. It further added that larger players are seeing some share shift from local players. In Tamil Nadu for instance, apart from Bovonto, there is no other local brand available, the report added. India's soft drink industry is a rapidly growing segment, driven by rising disposable incomes, urbanisation, and a youthful population. Dominated by global players, the market also sees the presence of various local brands. Increasing demand for healthier, low-sugar, and regional flavours is shaping future growth and innovation.

India's soft drink industry eyes 10%+ growth in 2025; larger firms gain from easing local competition
This is an AI-generated image, used for representational purposes only India's soft drink market is poised to recover to a growth rate of over 10 per cent in 2025, after witnessing a slowdown this year due to erratic weather conditions, according to a report by Systematix Institutional Equities. As per news agency ANI, the report projects strong medium-term growth for the Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSD) segment, which has historically expanded at an annual pace of 13–14 per cent. The CSD industry, currently valued at around ₹30,000 crore, is expected to benefit from improving weather conditions and easing regional competition. Industry experts cited in the report believe a return to double-digit growth is likely as market conditions normalise. The Indian beverage market mainly comprises Liquid Refreshment Beverages (LRBs), which include carbonated drinks, bottled water, juices, energy drinks, and sports drinks. Of these, soft drinks account for 40–45 per cent of the total market, energy drinks for 8–10 per cent, juices for around 5 per cent, and sports drinks make up 1–2 per cent. The remainder is contributed by bottled water. Currently, the market is evenly split between local players and larger brands such as Bisleri, Kinley, Aquafina, and Bailey. However, the balance is gradually tilting towards the latter as they benefit from broader distribution networks and brand recall. Post-GST implementation, regional competition has reduced, paving the way for bigger brands to capture market share. Popular local drinks such as Bindu-Jeera in the South and Karachi Soda in the North, which previously dominated their respective categories with a 75–80 per cent share, are reportedly losing ground. In Tamil Nadu, for instance, the report stated that apart from Bovonto, no other prominent local brand remains visible. The report also noted that per capita beverage consumption in India remains low compared to regional peers, including Bangladesh and Pakistan, suggesting ample headroom for expansion. India's soft drink industry is driven by growing urbanisation, a youthful demographic, and rising disposable incomes. There is also a visible shift in consumer preferences towards healthier options, low-sugar variants, and regionally inspired flavours, trends that are expected to shape the next phase of innovation and product development. As per ANI, the report highlights that with favourable demographic and consumption patterns, India's soft drink industry remains one of the most promising segments in the non-alcoholic beverage space.
