Companies focused on rivalry rather than on the industry itself

Industry Issues

Major bottlers have been consolidated which puts smaller bottlers at the mercy of Pepsi and Coca-Cola's distribution systems

Bottlers' profitability is in danger with slim margins and declining growth


CSDs made up a substantial share of US Liquid Consumption, but this doesnt make them immune to risk (limited portfolio, non diversified)

International markets are an important source of revenue and improvements in world economies are forecasted
Growing health concerns for caffeine and sugar consumption threatens industry performance

Consumption declines as consumers find healthier alternatives
