The soft drink market is anticipated to augment at a CAGR of around 6.0% during the forecast period. A soft drink is a non-alcoholic drink that generally contains carbonated water and natural or artificial flavoring. Dairy products are not covered in the soft drink market. Increasing disposable income, rising younger aged population bases especially in the emerging economies are some of the major factors for the growth in the market. Besides, shifting in the preference of the consumer from standard flavors (such as orange, lemon, cola) to innovative flavors such as tropical fruits or fusion of flavors are also expected to provide a significant market growth.
