Increasing preference for non carbonated healthy drinks. The Coca Cola soda saw a 5%
volume declines respectively in the carbonated soda brands category.
With rising obesity rates of 35.7% for adults and 17% for youth in the U.S. alone, health
concerns may cause reduced consumption of sugar sweetened beverages, impacting
profitability.

water is scarce worldwide, where 70% is used for agriculture and irrigation.
With $24.5 billion in net operating revenue generated from international markets, and
operating in over 200 countries, unstable economic conditions in foreign countries can
dramatically decrease revenues.
