Coca-Cola Japan Faces Rising Costs

In a move that reflects broader economic challenges, Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. has announced a significant price increase for its major products, with hikes of up to 23% set to take effect from October 1, 2025.

Behind the Price Adjustment

The company cites surging costs of raw materials, energy, and currency fluctuations as the primary drivers behind this decision. Despite efforts to improve internal efficiencies, these external pressures have rendered current pricing strategies unsustainable.

Impact on Products

The price adjustment will affect a wide range of packaging options, including PET bottles, cans, cartons, and bagged products. Specifically, coffee drinks will see an increase of 20 to 30 yen per bottle, while other items will go up by 20 yen.
