Pakistan turned out to be Coca-Cola's best-performing market anywhere in the world this quarter. Sales volume rose 17% year-on-year in Q2 2026, according to Coca-Cola İçecek (CCI), the Turkish company that bottles and distributes Coca-Cola products across the region.
The numbers from this quarter
- CCI's total sales across all its markets rose 9.8% year-on-year, reaching 519 million unit cases.
- Pakistan added more to that growth than any other CCI market.
- Uzbekistan grew 21.1%, the fastest rate among CCI's markets.
- Kazakhstan grew 12.7%.
- Iraq returned to growth too, up 1.1%, despite ongoing tension in the region.
What this means
Pakistan's 17% jump is a sharp turnaround from earlier in the year. In the first quarter of 2026, Pakistan's growth was just 0.2%, according to CCI's own numbers. Summer weather and stronger sales activity through Q2 clearly pushed demand up.
CCI's CEO, Ahmet Kürşad Ertin, said the results point to a business that holds up well across very different markets, even with ongoing economic pressure and political tension in some regions.
The money side
Net sales revenue reached TL 67.2 billion, up 5.7% from last year.
Once you adjust for inflation accounting, revenue actually grew 40.7% to TL 69.2 billion. The company credits careful pricing and a better product mix for that.
