Key Highlights

• The Off-premise channel not only accounts for the vast majority of carbonate sales, its contribution continues to expand, no doubt influenced by cautious consumers cutting back on out-of-home entertainment as they await economic recovery
• Low calorie carbonates have a broad global presence but tend to have their lowest visibility in developing markets. Their highest volume penetration is to be found in Australia where they now account for more than a third of category sales. Their representation is slightly lower in North America but it is here that they achieve their highest per capita levels.
• Cola is the lead flavor in all regions and represents half or more of all category volumes in Australasia, Latin America, North America and West Europe. Its share is lowest in developing markets which often exhibit preferences for more localized tastes, such as malta in Nigeria and kvass in East Europe
• The bottle is the preferred pack type in all regions except North America where over three quarters of the market is in cans due to the popularity of the multi-pack. The high cost of raw materials reduces the appeal of the can in more price sensitive markets
