Soft drinks ‘turning to emerging markets’ as US consumption falls
Soft drinks ‘turning to emerging markets’ as US consumption falls
2016-02-24 From:FoodBev
Sales of carbonated drinks are expected to increase in Latin America, Asia Pacific, Africa and the Middle East during the next three years, as companies such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo expand their reach across the world. Investing more than $40bn in emerging markets is critical to Coca-Cola’s growth, as it aims to double its revenues between 2010 and 2020. The company expects to invest $17bn across all of Africa and $12.4bn in Mexico, where consumption of soft drinks is among the highest in the world at 135 litres per person. Likewise, PepsiCo plans to invest $5bn in the Mexican market over five years.
Coca-Cola will also invest a further $4bn in China during the next two years, having already spent $3bn on improving its performance in the country between 2009 and 2011. Chinese sales of carbonated drinks are expected to grow to $16.2bn by 2018 – an increase of 30% on 2013 levels. “It’s our third-largest global market,” Coca-Cola chairman and CEO Muhtar Kent said in 2011, “growing in double digits.” PepsiCo, which controls around 27% of the Chinese market, recently invested $2.5bn over a three-year period. Coca-Cola also plans, by 2020, to have invested $7.6bn in Brazil, $5bn in India and $1.2bn in the Philippines, where Coca-Cola Femsa earlier this month revealed plans to invest $800m in the expansion of its bottling operation in the country. And, discussing Coca-Cola’s plans to refranchise all of the North American bottling territories still under its ownership by 2017, Kent continued: “We are in constant discussion with potential partners who are excited about investing in the future of the Coca-Cola system in our flagship market as well as in other markets around the world.”
