Soft drink industry
Article Abstract:
Continued steady domestic and foreign growth for the soft drink industry makes both short- and long-term investment attractive. The two giants, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo. both increased domestic sales and Coca-Cola showed foreign market growth. PepsiCo foreign sales were disappointing and the company is restructuring its overseas operations. Non-cola drinks were fast growing but still possess only a small market share.
