Both Coca-cola and Pepsi lost market share. Coca-cola can blame it on the CEO after all they only paid him $32 million dollars for his years work. Soft drinks still hold the majority market share 51% (down 0.6% from previous year). Energy Drinks had a massive 49% growth but total market share is just 0.8% (which makes you wonder about all the over-enthusiastic media reporting). Red Bull has 0.4% market share, Rockstar has 0.2% market share.
