Global success of Coke meets global demand for less sugar
Coca-Cola Global operations have beaten second-quarter earnings expectations. The increase has lead to revised revenue forecasts for 2019. Higher than expected sales of ‘Zero’ drinks, in addition to the new ready-to-drink coffee and flavours, have been driving factors.

Coca-Cola’s rivals, PepsiCo, is also expected to beat analysts estimates thanks to the demand for smaller packages of its original Pepsi sodas.
