Growth was 3% in EMEA, can’t find the 5% for Europe, might have hallucinated that one…
EDIT: I just noticed I didn’t claim 5% in my previous comment above, but had this exact discussion recently many times and was convinced it was 5% up in Europe. It’s late, I need a nap…
Oh wow, thanks. Someone under that post also linked that this is not about Coca Cola the drink, but everything owned by the Coca Cola company, which is over 500 brands.
As I recently explained to someone else on here: I genuinely don’t think most Europeans are doing the research regarding the background of the brands they buy. It’s easy to avoid things like the standard Coca Cola drink as that’s well known to be from the US, but I’m sadly willing to bet that most of those other brands would be purchased without much of a second thought.
The one on the left is a lie. Coca-Cola consumption has risen since trump, for instance.
Got some data to back that up? All I can find is a decline in Europe revenue 2025 Q1 by 1.1%, but hey, maybe you found more recent numbers?
Data from July where I read it: https://www.reddit.com/r/BuyFromEU/comments/1m6ykfl/cocacola_earnings_beat_estimates_as_strong_demand/
