Fruit and vegetable juices market in CIS

Earlier Report Observations

The market for fruit and vegetable juices in the CIS region contracted between 2019 and 2020, with volume falling from 877.9 million liters to 720.8 million liters. This decline was driven by Western sanctions and currency fluctuations, which disrupted trade and investment. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic further reduced consumption, while major players like PepsiCo and Coca-Cola scaled back marketing activity due to market uncertainty.

A recovery began in 2021, lifting the market to 980.1 million liters by 2023. Growth was fueled by the expansion of production capacities, notably a 17.8% surge in tomato juice output in 2023 linked to new facilities and the popularity of healthy lifestyles. Consumer preferences shifted toward vegetable juices, supporting demand. In 2024, investment continued with the launch of a new juice plant in the Rostov region and a robotic facility built by 'Sady Pridonya,' indicating ongoing industry modernization.
