Soft Drinks Packaging in Ukraine

September 2026

Total soft drinks packaging retail volumes in Ukraine remained positive in 2025, although the market continued to rebuild from a low base following the 2021-2022 slump. Much of the rebound was concentrated in rigid plastic, overwhelmingly PET bottles, as necessity-driven demand for bottled water rose to compensate for water-supply disruptions and power cuts caused by war in the country. Meanwhile, affordability kept consumers buying soft drinks as an everyday treat.
