Consumers Buy 2.2 Billion Coca-Cola Products Each Day. But Most of the Company's Sales Come From Somewhere You Might Not Expect
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) has one of the strongest competitive positions on the planet. It owns five of the top six soda brands in the world: Coca-Cola, Sprite, Fanta, Coke Zero, and Diet Coke. These global franchises allow it to sell over 2 billion drinks per day across its vast network that spans restaurants, fast-food chains, theme parks, convenience stores, and more.
You might be surprised to learn that Coke doesn't make most of its money from the sales of those sparkling beverages. In fact, about 60% of its revenue comes from another source entirely.
Coke counted $43 billion of revenue in the most recent full fiscal year, up from $39 billion in the prior year. You can see that it's a truly global business from the breakdown of those sales, too. Coke generated $28 billion, or 65% of revenue, from outside of the United States. You'll find Coke products relatively easily in over 200 countries.
