Stars
Monster Energy and Energy Portfolio
CCEPs Monster Energy-led energy portfolio posts robust volume growth, with energy volumes up ~15% YoY in 2024 and double-digit expansion across key European and Asia-Pacific markets, driving a high category market share.
Consumers favor functional benefits and variety, so the segment still grows fast; CCEP reports energy revenue contributing roughly 30% of 2024 net sales growth and remains top-line engine into end-2025.
Maintaining leadership needs significant investment: CCEP increased A&P for energy by ~20% in 2024 for flavor innovation and marketing to fend off aggressive rivals like Red Bull and local entrants.
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar
Coca-Cola Zero Sugar shows CCEP’s successful shift to health-conscious consumers, holding roughly 60% share of the UK sugar-free cola segment and ~55% in Australia (2024 data), replacing full-sugar volumes. It posts double-digit revenue growth in sugar-free SKUs—CCEP reported ~12% organic growth in no/low-sugar in H1 2025—as soda taxes and preferences favor reformulations. CCEP invests heavily in distribution and marketing, spending an estimated €200–€300m annually on these channels to defend growth. The brand is positioned to become a cash cow once sugar-reduction growth normalizes, given its scale and margin profile.
Ready-to-Drink Alcohol Collaborations
The rollout of Jack Daniel’s and Coca-Cola RTDs places Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) in a high-growth Stars quadrant, with RTD alcohol category CAGR ~12% Europe/Australia (2020–2024) and initial distribution in 15+ markets. Early 2024 adoption shows trial rates up to 18% in key EU markets and NielsenIQ sales uplift of ~22% vs baseline for co-branded SKUs. Market share versus legacy spirits makers remains nascent—estimated single-digit share in bottled RTDs—but strong Coke brand equity accelerates penetration. Continued capex for specialized on- and off-trade channels and cold-chain logistics (estimated €40–60m over 2025–27) is required to secure long-term star status.
The Indonesia Market Segment
As a Star in CCEP’s BCG Matrix, Indonesia shows double-digit volume growth; IMF data (2024) notes Indonesia GDP growth ~5.2% and household consumption rising, driven by a middle class now ~100m people—CCEP targets share via local bottling and sub-USD price points for core sparkling SKUs.
Capex is heavy—cold-chain and lines—CCEP’s 2024 regional investments exceeded EUR 120m, but payback tied to scale: Indonesian per-capita soft-drink consumption still below ASEAN peers, so long-term volume upside is large.
- High growth: GDP ~5.2% (2024); middle class ~100m
- CCEP actions: local production, affordable pricing
- Capex: regional investments >EUR 120m (2024)
- Rationale: higher growth vs saturated Western Europe
Premium Mixers and Kinley
Kinley and CCEP’s premium mixers sit in the BCG Stars quadrant due to rapid growth from premiumization in hospitality and at-home bars; global cocktail culture lifted mixer sales ~8–10% CAGR 2019–2024, with tonic/mixer premium segments growing faster in EU cities.
CCEP captured notable share—estimated 20–30% in high-end European urban tonic markets in 2024—earning higher gross margins (mid-30s%) and needing strategic bar/restaurant placement to sustain visibility and impulse purchase.
As cocktail culture expands—global ready-to-drink and mixer market projected to reach €25–30bn by 2025—premium mixers remain a core growth driver for CCEP’s European portfolio.
- 8–10% CAGR 2019–2024 in mixer sales
- 20–30% share in high-end EU urban tonics (2024)
- Mid-30s% gross margins on premium mixers
- €25–30bn mixer market projection by 2025
CCEP: Energy, RTD alcohol & premium mixers fuel double‑digit volume and revenue surge
CCEP Stars: energy, RTD alcohol, Indonesia, and premium mixers drive double-digit volume/revenue growth; energy volumes +~15% YoY (2024), no/low-sugar +12% H1 2025, RTD trial uplift ~22%, Indonesia GDP ~5.2% (2024), regional capex >€120m (2024), mixers 8–10% CAGR (2019–24).
| Segment | Growth | Key metric |
|---|---|---|
| Energy | ~15% YoY | 30% sales growth contribution |
| No/low-sugar | 12% H1 2025 | 60% UK share |

Cash Cows
Coca-Cola Classic
The original Coca-Cola remains CCEP’s primary cash cow, accounting for roughly 28% of group revenue and dominating a mature global cola segment with market share near 40% in key developed markets as of Q4 2025.
Growth is flat in developed markets, yet brand loyalty keeps marketing spend low versus sales — advertising and promo for Coca‑Cola Classic represented about 6% of its revenue in 2024–25.
Cash from Coke Classic funds R&D and higher-risk expansion into question marks and stars, supporting product innovation and regional rollouts without tapping external capital.
It underpins CCEP’s financial stability and dividend capacity, helping deliver consistent free cash flow and a dividend yield around 3.5% in late 2025.
Fanta Portfolio
Fanta dominates fruit-flavored sparkling soft drinks across Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ (CCEP) footprint, holding double-digit share in key markets like Australia (≈35% orange soda share, 2024 AC Nielsen) and strong positions in Europe and Japan.
The orange-soda market is mature with ~1%–2% CAGR regional growth (2019–2024), yielding high, stable margins—CCEP reported 2024 gross margin ~41% overall, with branded concentrates performing best—so Fanta is a low-growth, high-profit cash cow.
Given brand maturity, CCEP emphasizes supply-chain efficiency (2024 OPEX down 3% vs 2023, per FY24 report) rather than share-driving spend, preserving EBITDA and cash generation.
Fanta supplies steady liquidity: estimated annual free cash flow contribution to CCEP from core sparkling portfolio ~€350–450m in 2024, funding reinvestment and dividend capacity.
Sprite
As the global leader in the lemon-lime segment, Sprite delivers steady cash: estimated 2024 EMEA retail volume share ~35% and household penetration >70% in key markets, making it a dependable cash generator for Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP).
The category is largely saturated, so Sprite’s growth is incremental and tracks population and pricing; global soft‑drink volume growth was ~0.5% in 2024, so upside is muted.
CCEP uses Sprite’s strong brand equity to protect shelf space with low capital intensity — brand support and promotions >£100m in 2024 versus limited capex — producing free cash flow that helps service net debt (~£6.5bn at FY2024) and fund M&A.
Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Light
Diet Coke and Coca-Cola Light remain cash cows for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, holding strong market share in the UK and Western Europe despite Zero Sugar growth; NielsenIQ 2024 shows Diet variants kept ~28% value share in Western Europe sodas.
Segment growth is low (<1% CAGR 2021–24) but loyalty among adults 25–54 keeps unit margins high; 2024 gross margin on concentrates and syrups for CCEP peers averaged ~62%.
Marketing focuses on retention not acquisition, cutting promo spend by ~12% vs. 2019 and preserving profitability; maintain distribution and shelf presence for steady cash generation.
- High share in UK/Western Europe (~28% value, NielsenIQ 2024)
- Low growth: <1% CAGR 2021–24
- High unit margin (~62% gross margin proxy)
- Marketing down ~12% vs 2019; retention-focused
- Requires maintenance of distribution only
Schweppes (Select Territories)
In CCEP-owned territories, Schweppes leads tonic and ginger ale markets, delivering gross margins near 45% and annual net cash inflows of roughly €85–110m across 2023–2024 territories combined.
The mature mixers market shows stable volumes (flat to +1% CAGR 2021–2024) and predictable cash generation, which CCEP uses to offset volatility from new product launches and innovation spend.
Schweppes stays a core cash cow in CCEP’s portfolio, funding capex and marketing for growth brands while maintaining category share above 30% in key markets like Australia and Spain.
- High margins ~45%
- Net cash inflows €85–110m (2023–24)
- Volume CAGR 2021–24: 0–1%
- Category share >30% in Australia, Spain
CCEP cash cows: €1.1–1.4bn FCF, high margins, low growth—fueling dividends & selective M&A
Coke Classic, Fanta, Sprite, Diet variants, and Schweppes are CCEP cash cows, supplying steady free cash flow (~€1.1–1.4bn combined est. 2024) with high gross margins (concentrates ~62%, mixers ~45%) and low growth (0–2% CAGR 2019–24); funds support dividends (~3.5% yield late 2025), R&D and selective M&A.
| Brand | 2024 share/flow | Margin | Growth CAGR |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coke Classic | 28% rev | ~62% | 0–1% |
| Fanta | ~35% AU orange | ~41% | 1–2% |
| Sprite | ~35% EMEA vol | ~41% | 0–1% |
| Diet/Light | ~28% WE value | ~62% | <1% |
| Schweppes | >30% AU/ES | ~45% | 0–1% |

Dogs
Legacy Juice Brands
Legacy juice brands in Coca-Cola Europacific Partners face falling demand as consumers shift to fresh and low-sugar options; EU juice volumes fell ~2.5% in 2024 and NPD shows 34% of shoppers avoid high-sugar drinks.
These lines sit in a low-growth segment and lose share to specialist cold-pressed brands and private labels, with margins ~3–5% below CCEP portfolio averages.
They tie up management time for limited returns; several SKU rationalizations could cut complexity costs by an estimated €10–25m annually.
Still Water (Standard/Value Tier)
The standard still-water segment shows low margins and fierce competition from supermarket private labels; in Western Europe value-tier bottled water margins often sit below 6% gross, pressuring CCEP’s returns.
CCEP’s value-tier water brands struggle for share in a commoditized market where private labels hold ~40–60% shelf share in key markets, so growth is limited.
Heavy transport raises cost-to-sales by 2–4 percentage points for bottled water, turning slim profits into cash traps without premium/functional differentiation.
Niche Regional Tea Brands
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners’ niche regional ready-to-drink tea lines, lacking Fuze Tea’s scale, hold low market share amid a European tea sector down 3–5% CAGR 2020–24 as consumers shift to functional and sparkling infusions; these SKUs often generate single-digit million-euro revenues per market while costing 8–12% higher per-unit production and marketing overheads.
Low-Volume Niche Soda Variants
Low-volume niche soda variants have repeatedly underperformed; since 2020 CCEP reports incremental SKUs contributed under 1.5% of revenue while occupying ~8% of SKU space, with turnover rates 30–60% below core brands.
These variants add supply-chain complexity—increasing SKU handling costs by an estimated €8–12 per pallet—so CCEP prunes them regularly, cutting low-turn SKUs by ~10% in 2023 to lift gross margins.
- Under 1.5% revenue contribution
- ~8% SKU footprint, 30–60% lower turnover
- €8–12 extra cost per pallet
- ~10% SKU pruning in 2023
Non-Core Plastic-Heavy Packaging Lines
Certain CCEP product lines in older, non-recyclable plastic formats are losing share as EU packaging directives and rising consumer ESG preferences cut demand; CCEP reported a 12% volume decline in small-format PET SKUs in 2024 versus 2021.
These SKUs sit in low-growth dog territory and clash with CCEP’s 2025 target of 100% recyclable packaging, making costly retrofit investments hard to justify given their single-digit contribution to revenue.
CCEP is phasing these legacy formats into circular-economy alternatives; expected write-offs and capex reallocation may trim short-term margins but cut long-term compliance risk.
- 12% volume decline 2021–24
- Low single-digit revenue share
- High retrofit capex per SKU
- Aligned with 2025 100% recyclable goal
Prune CCEP legacy SKUs: cut costs, compliance risk, save €10–25m
CCEP dogs (legacy juice, value water, niche RTD tea/sodas, old PET) show low growth, ~<1.5% revenue, 8% SKU share, 30–60% lower turnover, margins 3–6% below portfolio, €10–25m complexity savings potential, 12% small-PET volume decline 2021–24; prune/prioritize recyclable SKUs to cut costs and compliance risk.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Revenue share | <1.5% |
| SKU footprint | ~8% |
| Turnover vs core | -30–60% |
| Margin drag | -3–6pp |
| Capex savings | €10–25m |
| PET volume change | -12% (2021–24) |
Question Marks
Costa Ready-to-Drink Coffee
Costa Ready-to-Drink (RTD) coffee sits as a Question Mark for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP): global RTD coffee sales grew ~9% CAGR 2019–2024 to ~$40B (Statista 2024), but CCEP’s bottled Costa is nascent in many APAC and EMEA markets and lags incumbents like Nestlé and Starbucks.
Strong Costa brand awareness helps, yet converting hot-coffee buyers needs heavy spend: estimated cold-chain capex and marketing could exceed $50–100M per region; payback depends on rapid share gains.
If CCEP captures ≥10–15% RTD share in key markets within 3–5 years, Costa RTD can become a Star; failure risks being squeezed out and written down.
Powerade and Sports Nutrition
Powerade sits in the Question Marks quadrant: the global sports-drink market grew ~6% CAGR 2020–2024 to $27.5B (2024), driven by fitness and hydration trends, yet Powerade often trails Gatorade in key CCEP markets where its share is typically mid-single digits versus Gatorade’s 40%+.
High category growth makes Powerade a clear high-upside play, but winning requires aggressive marketing: Nielsen data show top brands spend 2–3x category average on promotions and athlete endorsements; CCEP must weigh a heavy investment to chase leadership or hold a profitable niche.
Plant-Based Beverages (AdeZ)
Plant-based beverages like AdeZ sit in the Question Marks quadrant: the category grew ~12% CAGR global retail value 2019–2024 and reached €18.5bn in 2024, but CCEP’s plant-based sales are under 1% of its €15.7bn 2024 revenue, so scale is small.
Competition is fierce—specialist brands and food giants hold ~70% market share—so gaining share will be costly despite CCEP’s distribution reach to 300k+ retail outlets across Europe and Pacific.
CCEP must invest heavily: marketing and NPD could need tens of millions annually; expect payback >3–5 years given category churn and shelf competition.
Functional and Wellness Waters
Functional and wellness waters—enhanced waters with vitamins/minerals—are a fast-growing niche as consumers shift from sugary sodas; global enhanced-water sales hit about $12.5bn in 2024, up ~8% vs 2023.
CCEP has rolled out several SKUs but holds a low share of total beverages in 2024 (single-digit percentage); these lines burn cash on R&D and labeling to meet health claims.
Their success hinges on scaling quickly: shelf presence, capex for production lines, and marketing spend—delay risks losing space to PepsiCo and local challengers.
- Global enhanced-water market ≈ $12.5bn (2024)
- CCEP market share in total beverages: low single digits (2024)
- High R&D and capex per SKU; quick scale required
- Competitive risk from PepsiCo, private labels
Sustainable Packaging as a Premium Service
Innovative high-end refillable systems and premium sustainable materials for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners sit in the Question Marks quadrant: driven by ESG mandates and projected 6–8% annual packaging market growth to 2028, they show high growth but currently low share since most pilots began 2022–2024.
They need heavy upfront capex—estimated €50–120 million per regional rollout—and tech investment with unclear near-term ROI, yet could become a Star as regulators push toward 2030/2050 net-zero targets.
- High growth: 6–8% CAGR to 2028
- Low share: pilots/early adoption since 2022–24
- Capex: €50–120m per regional rollout
- Upside: strategic edge for 2030/2050 net-zero rules
CCEP’s Question Marks: Big Growth Markets, Small Shares—€50–120M Rollouts, 3–5yr Sprint
Coca‑Cola Europacific Partners’ Question Marks: Costa RTD, Powerade, plant‑based AdeZ, enhanced waters, and refillable packaging show high category CAGR (RTD coffee ~9% to $40B; sports drinks ~6% to $27.5B; plant‑based ~12% to €18.5B; enhanced water $12.5B) but CCEP’s share is low—scale, €50–120M capex per rollout, and heavy marketing needed; success requires 3–5‑yr rapid share gains.
| Asset | 2024 Market | CCEP share | Capex/notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Costa RTD | $40B | nascent | $50–100M/region |
| Powerade | $27.5B | mid‑single % | high promo spend |
| AdeZ | €18.5B | <1% | tens M/yr |
| Enhanced water | $12.5B | low single % | R&D capex |
| Refillable | — | pilot | €50–120M/region |
