Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP)

The group’s portfolio includes many of the world’s best-known soft drink brands, led by Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Fanta, Sprite, and Schweppes, alongside water, energy, coffee, juice, sports drink, and ready-to-drink alcohol or mixer products in selected markets. Its role in the Coca-Cola system is operational rather than brand ownership: it buys concentrate or syrup, manages local production and logistics, works with retailers and foodservice customers, and executes marketing and in-store activation across its territories.

CCEP is the second-largest Coca-Cola bottler by volume globally, behind Coca-Cola FEMSA. In 2025, it sold 3.9 billion unit cases, representing an estimated 9% of worldwide Coca-Cola system volume. The Coca-Cola Company holds a significant minority stake in CCEP, while Olive Partners also owns a large shareholding, leaving the rest publicly traded.

The company benefits from strong brands, extensive distribution infrastructure, and operations in developed markets with established beverage consumption habits. At the same time, it must manage packaging regulation, sugar taxes, commodity costs, retail pricing pressure, and shifting consumer preferences toward low- and no-sugar products. CCEP’s scale makes it a central route-to-market partner for Coca-Cola brands across some of the system’s most important regions.
