Coca-Cola and coffee​

Costa will give Coca-Cola new capabilities and expertise in coffee arena as Coca-Cola sees coffee as a ‘significant and growing segment of the global beverage business’.

Worth mentioning that Coca-Cola already sells coffee under the market-leading Georgia (ジョージア Jōjia) brand in Japan and has some other local products for specific markets.

Fast-growing coffee category offers opportunities for expansion of Costa brand in multiple channels and formats. And for Coca-Cola, the deal will support the efforts to move away from soft-drinks toward more healthier options for increasingly health-conscious consumers.
