Soda Production in Canada industry analysis

Soda producers are highly susceptible to shifts in consumer preferences, health consciousness and levels of international trade. For years, soda consumption has declined because of rising health awareness among consumers, resulting in steady declines in soda sales. The largest brands have faired better than most because of solid loyalty and lower production costs. Smaller producers endure harsher conditions, but rising popularity in energy drinks, in particular, has provided a niche for many new and smaller players. Still, revenue has been declining at a CAGR of 2.7% over the past five years and is expected to reach $3.3 billion in 2024, when revenue will fall an estimated 2.4%.

Trends and Insights

  • Consumers are shunning traditional carbonated beverages because of rising health consciousness. This trend has led to decades of revenue drop for soda producers. Many now opt for healthier alternatives like bottled water, juice and other ready-to-drink beverages.
  • Energy drinks are increasing in prominence as younger consumers prefer them. As these individuals enter the workforce, replacing older coffee drinkers, sales of energy drinks are growing rapidly. This shift is contributing to the expansion of the energy drink market.
  • Densely populated areas offer easy access to downstream markets. Provinces with large populations and city centers, such as Ontario and Quebec, are prime areas for soda producers due to the substantial number of nearby downstream markets.
  • Heightened health consciousness intensifies competition from other industries, with ready-to-drink beverages, bottled water and juice posing growing threats to soda producers. Consumers increasingly prefer healthier beverage options, challenging the soda market's dominance.
