PepsiCo Partnership Drives Carlsberg Soft Drinks Segment Growth of 9%
Carlsberg reports steady volume growth in the first half of 2026, led by soft drinks and non-alcoholic beers. The soft drinks category rose 9% and non-alcoholic beers increased 11%, contributing to 2.7% organic revenue growth and a 4.5% operating profit uplift to DKK7.5bn. Management links momentum partly to PepsiCo’s use of Carlsberg’s bottling and distribution network, alongside gains following its Britvic acquisition and cost management.
