In addition, Mexico, Venezuela, Colom- bia, Argentina, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines are projected to gener- ate US$14 billion in retail sales of soft drinks between 2010 and 2015. China alone accounts for 24% of global beer sales – but it has the lowest per-capita consumption of the largest markets.

Exam- ples include Coca-Cola’s Minute Maid Pulpy in China, PepsiCo’s acquisitions of Russian companies Lebedyansky (juices) and Wimm-Bill-Dann (dairy), and joint ventures in the Middle East.
