COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Coca-Cola leads, competitors respond
Cía Servicios de Bebidas Refrescantes (Coca-Cola) remains the leading company in Spain’s carbonated drinks category in 2025. Carbonated drinks has seen a surge in new product development, driven largely by limited editions and the ongoing shift towards low- and no-sugar alternatives.
Prebiotic and flavour innovations invigorate category
Another notable launch in 2025 reflects accelerating health and wellness trends, which are gradually reshaping development in carbonates. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola, one of the first prebiotic colas on the Spanish market, contains 3g of prebiotic fibre along with reduced sugar and calorie content.
