Diet Cola has always been popular in the Indian market, and the most sold is the 300ml aluminum can. However, the prolonged war in Iran disrupted the aluminum can supply chain, and Coca Cola had to adjust the import source, launch 330 ml aluminum cans, and raise the price. The media believes that this case shows that due to the war in Iran, many companies are being forced to adjust their supply chains and raise sales prices in major consumer markets. Reuters reported on the 24th using two people familiar with the matter as sources that Coca Cola was forced to purchase more expensive 330 ml aluminum cans from Southeast Asia due to the tight supply of 300 ml aluminum cans. Originally, the best-selling 300ml Diet Coke in the Indian market was priced at INR 40, while the recently launched 330-ml canned product was priced at INR 50. In terms of unit volume, the price increased by approximately 13.6%. Diet Coke is mainly sold in the Indian market in the form of aluminum cans, and the Strait of Hormuz is an important channel for shipping aluminum cans and related raw materials to India. Earlier this month, the war between the US and Iran reignited, and commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz was once again severely blocked. The market feared that the war might also affect other maritime transport routes. Most beverages sold by Coca Cola in India are packaged in plastic bottles, glass bottles, and aluminum cans. The sugar-free Coke “Zero Cola” is packaged in plastic bottles and aluminum cans at the same time, and supply has not been significantly affected at present.
