Reasons To Buy
Cola represents half or more of category volume

Brazil: Major retail chains have their own PL carbonates. Volume share remained steady, with volumes slightly decreasing. Private Labels compete directly with small/regional players (B brands) which present the same low prices, but are better known regionally and are better quality.

Brazil: Discount retail in Brazil has been presenting steady growth and chains are investing and will keep taking volumes from traditional and large modern retail, especially when prices are more attractive in a category desirable to the new middle classes

Peru: As a consequence of the significant increases in international oil prices (affecting PET costs) as well as international sugar costs, the prices of all carbonates went up in 2011.

Ecuador: In on-premise EDA and QSR remain the most important channels. Exclusivity agreements are fairly common, which makes it difficult for the non-cola companies to get a foothold.
