Coca-Cola Japan Announces Significant Price Hike Up to 23% Due to Rising Costs

Price Adjustment Amidst Economic Challenges

Coca-Cola Bottlers Japan Inc. has made a pivotal announcement regarding a substantial price increase across its product range. Effective from October 1, 2025, prices will soar by up to 23%, a decision driven by the relentless surge in operational costs.

Behind the Price Surge

The company attributes this adjustment to the escalating costs of raw materials, energy, and adverse currency fluctuations. Despite implementing measures to enhance operational efficiency, the current economic landscape has rendered these efforts insufficient to maintain price stability.

Affected Products

The price revision encompasses a wide array of packaging options including PET bottles, cans, cartons, and bagged products. Specifically, coffee beverages will witness a price increase of 20 to 30 yen per bottle, while other items will see a 20 yen hike.
