Overall, the company is the beverage market leader in most of the countries where it operates, being the world’s largest franchised bottler of Coca-Cola-branded products by sales volume.
Sales volume of Coca-Cola FEMSA
Previously, its market share was 11.1% in 2019 and 11.3% in 2020.
The company’s competitors are primarily local Pepsi bottlers and other bottlers and distributors of local beverage brands.
Coca-Cola FEMSA also faces competition from producers of low-priced beverages, commonly known as «B brands.
Several of its competitors in Central America, Brazil, Argentina, and Colombia offer beer in addition to soft drinks, non-carbonated beverages, and water. This may allow them to achieve distribution efficiencies that competitors without an integrated portfolio may not be able to match.
While competitive conditions vary across Coca-Cola FEMSA’s territories, the company primarily competes on factors such as price, packaging, and effective promotional activities. Additionally, it focuses on securing access to retail outlets, ensuring sufficient shelf space, delivering excellent customer service, driving product innovation, offering product alternatives, and meeting consumer needs.
