In the United States, products including Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, Sprite, Gold Peak, Powerade, Dasani, smartwater, BODYARMOR, Minute Maid, Simply and fairlife are a part of daily life—shared at family tables, neighborhood restaurants, local businesses, sporting events and community moments, big and small.

Behind every beverage is a system working every day to serve consumers and strengthen communities across America.

The Coca-Cola Company commissioned an independent study to measure the 2025 contributions of the Coca-Cola system — including the company’s U.S. operations and its network of 61 bottling partners — on the American economy and local communities. Key findings show that in one year alone, the Coca-Cola system:

• Contributes $85 billion to the U.S. gross domestic product or approximately $10 million in U.S. economic activity every hour.
• Supports nearly 1 million jobs across the country, including direct jobs within the Coca-Cola system, jobs supported by the goods and services it purchases, and the jobs supported through retailers and restaurants, from large national chains to small businesses, where its beverage products are sold and enjoyed.
• Spends approximately $37 billion with American suppliers, supporting American farmers and a nationwide network of businesses that help source ingredients, produce packaging and transport our beverages across the country.
• Contributes $177 million in community programs in the U.S. together with The Coca-Cola Foundation and the Coca-Cola Scholars Foundation, including $60 million in education and economic empowerment.
• Keeps 98 cents of every dollar spent on its beverage products in the U.S. economy by sourcing, employing, producing and distributing locally.

These results underscore the Coca-Cola system's enduring role in strengthening local economies in all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, with economic contributions exceeding $1 billion in 25 states. The system’s production network includes more than 70 production facilities and hundreds of distribution centers, keeping the nation refreshed while supporting jobs, businesses of all sizes and communities.
