Coca-Cola Japan Announces Up to 23% Price Hike in October Amid Rising Costs

Coca-Cola Japan Implements Significant Price Increases

In response to escalating operational costs, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. has declared a price adjustment for its major products, with increases reaching up to 23%. This change is set to take effect from October 1, 2025.

Key Drivers Behind the Price Adjustment

The company attributes this decision to the relentless surge in raw material and energy prices, coupled with unfavorable currency exchange rates. Despite concerted efforts to enhance internal efficiencies, these external pressures have rendered the current pricing model unsustainable.

Impact on Products

This price revision will influence a wide array of packaging formats, including PET bottles, cans, cartons, and bagged products. Notably, coffee beverages will see a price increase of 20 to 30 yen per bottle, while other items will experience a 20 yen hike.
