What We Can Conclude

  1. For the first time in history a diet soda has achieved the number 2 spot.
  2. Diet sodas are becoming more popular, which shows a trend in people becoming more aware of too much sugar in the diet.
  3. Both Coca-cola and Pepsi lost market share. Coca-cola can blame it on the CEO – after all they only paid him $32 million dollars for his year’s work. This downward trend has continued.
  4. Soft drinks still hold the majority market share – 51% (down 0.6% from previous year).(07) (
  5. Energy Drinks had a massive 49% growth – but total market share is just 0.8% (which makes you wonder about all the over-enthusiastic media reporting). (07)
  6. Red Bull has the most market share, Monster is second, and Rockstar is third.
