Top 10 Most Popular Soft Drinks (Sodas)

What are the top-selling soft drinks in the USA?

The carbonated soft drink (CSD) market is dominated by three players: Coca Cola Company, PepsiCo, and Keurig Dr Pepper. Each company markets a large number of brands, with Coca Cola Company having the larger market share. This is reflected in drink sales with Coca-cola Classic continuing to outsell Pepsi.

The following 5 soft drinks have been the most popular since 2014:

Top 10 Soft Drinks

Coca-Cola Pepsi Diet Coke Dr Pepper Mountain Dew Sprite Diet Pepsi Coke Zero Fanta Diet Mountain Dew The overall Carbonated Soft Drink market has been in decline for years (and continues to decline into 2021). While sales in dollars have held up, volumes keep dropping as consumers look to functional beverages, and low-calorie alternatives.

Most Soft Drinks Are Caffeinated

Only two of the drinks in the top 10 are caffeine-free (Sprite and Fanta). While caffeine levels are modest, some of the diet drinks have more caffeine than expected. What are the most caffeinated soft drinks? See our See our up-to-date list of the top 20 most caffeinated. Energy drinks are a different category and market. See the top-selling energy drink brands here.

Who Owns Each Brand or Soft Drink?

The beverage industry is bewilderingly complex. Globally the entire carbonated beverage market size is valued at USD 406 Billion. Different companies market a multitude of brands, and even have licensing agreements to supply other brands in different markets.

However the big players look like this:

Coca Cola Company

The company offers more than 500 brands in more than 200 countries.

Coca-cola

Sprite

Fanta

Powerade

Also Minute Maid, Glaceau, Barq’s, Fresca, Appletiser, and many more.

PepsiCo

PepsiCo has a number of food brands (Frito-Lay: Doritos, Fritos) as well as a large number of drink brands. Some are surprising (for example, Sodastream belongs to PepsiCo. Rockstar energy drinks were acquired by PepsiCo in 2020). As already stated – the industry is confusing: PepsiCo has the rights to 7 Up outside North America, but it’s Keurig Dr Pepper who sell 7 Up inside the USA !
