Non-alcoholic beverages in Russia - statistics & facts

Non-alcoholic beverages include a wide range of products, such as juices, bottled water, soft, energy, and hot drinks. Household spending on liquid refreshments in Russia has remained relatively stable over the years, ranging between 1.5 percent and 1.8 percent of total expenditure. Furthermore, the domestic production of non-alcoholic drinks in the country has followed an upward trend. Like many other industries, non-alcoholic beverages suffered noticeable setbacks in 2022 due to economic sanctions and companies leaving Russia in response to the invasion of Ukraine. However, the revenue generated by the market is expected to steadily increase, reaching 11.6 million U.S. dollars in 2026.

Is Russia a tea nation?

Russians have traditionally been regarded as a tea-drinking nation. Today, per capita tea consumption in the country is estimated at less than one kilogram per person, falling behind other nations in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Coffee, on the other hand, followed a positive trend in Russia, with per capita market volume increasing to 0.9 kilograms per person in 2021. Consequently, the import value of coffee also peaked at 787 million U.S. dollars that year. Brazil, Vietnam, and Italy were the main import origins of coffee to the country.

Toward a healthier trend?

Water is the most consumed non-alcoholic beverage in Russia. In 2022, over 155 liters of packaged water were consumed per person in the country. While most Russians continue to name black tea as their preferred type of tea, green tea and herbal tea are also becoming popular. According to a survey carried out in 2021, over a quarter of respondents favored classic green tea, whereas almost a fifth named herbal tea as their favorite. Furthermore, the ban on alcohol sales via the internet and the spread of online commerce due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic facilitated the popularity of non-alcoholic beer in the country. Among the main reasons for choosing non-alcoholic beer, 15 percent listed attention to one's health and eight percent mentioned attention to one's mental wellbeing.

Key brands of non-alcoholic beverages in Russia

In 2020, three-quarters of Russians had bought Coca-Cola's carbonated soft drinks and lemonades in the past six months. The most popular brand of juice was Rich, owned by Coca-Cola HBC through Russia's Multon juice company. Closely following Rich was Sady Pridonya, a juice company founded in the Volgograd Region of Russia in 1997. When it came to coffee, most Russian customers were familiar with the German brand Jacobs, followed by Nescafé. Carte Noire and Moccona were less familiar to consumers in the country, with 64 percent and 59 percent saying they knew the brand, respectively.
