The European Soft Drinks Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for 2024 indicates significant disparities across countries. Hungary, Lithuania, and Latvia experience the largest increases, with values over 13%. Conversely, Switzerland and Norway show deflationary trends, with HICP values below zero. Most Western European nations, including Germany, France, and Belgium, display a moderate increase ranging from 4.3% to 5.5%. The forecast reflects a deceleration in countries like Sweden and Finland, with growth rates under 4%.
Future trends to watch include the potential impact of economic recovery efforts in post-pandemic Europe, varying inflation rates, and governmental tax policies on soft drinks. Moreover, health-related regulations could influence long-term price trends, especially in health-conscious markets.
