Population Chart

(b) Data represents internal estimates of top 37 markets
(c) Represents population that does not consume commercial beverages
(d) Represents Weekly+ drinkers

Over the past three decades, the beverage industry has benefitted from a relatively consistent pattern of growth. In developed markets, which comprise approximately 20% of the global population, The Coca-Cola Company has significant headroom to gain share from competitors. In developed markets, nearly 90% of the population drinks commercial beverages, yet only about 30% of this population drinks a Coca-Cola Company product at least once per-week. In developing and emerging markets, which comprise approximately 80% of the global population, the majority of potential drinkers do not consume any commercial beverages. The Coca-Cola Company has a significant opportunity to develop the beverage industry from the ground up. We believe both the scale of the Coca-Cola system and our growth mindset are key differentiations to satisfy the evolving daily needs of people throughout the world.
