Soft Drinks Packaging in the United Kingdom

In 2024, soft drinks packaging retail volumes in the UK witnessed a second year of decline, as consumer demand for soft drinks was limited by cost-of-living concerns, which encouraged some consumers to cut back on their consumption. The rate increase on the tax on plastic packaging tax, effective from April 2024, also led to price increases, which further dampened demand. However, a shift was seen by higher-income consumers towards premium, functional, and convenient packaging formats.
