'Occupied' is way better. Occupied is used in such scenarios formally across organizations.

Entire soft drink market means whole market. So captured is confusing. I think occupied is better answer.

Occupied is generally used in such case. I think occupied is more appropriate.

The word conquered is also relevant and is used when the industry is taking over, like conquering a nation which is not done in the shadows but in broad light. The word captured is right in this situation because they've used the word little-publicized.

In the context of this sentence, conquered or captured has no difference since they do specify it as "The entire soft drink market in Afghanistan".
