PE Changes in taxation, labor legislation, and job conditions can all impact Coca-
Cola sales.
In some cases, the government will subsidize a company's operations. Local
brands or partially owned government brands are examples of this. Coca-Cola
could face stiff competition in this scenario.
Other countries' trade relations with the United States can have an impact on
Coca-business Cola's in that country. Coca-Cola, for example, is unable to sell
its product in Burma due to the country's trade relationship with the United
States.
The only countries where Coca-Cola products cannot be bought or sold illegally
are Cuba and North Korea. Both countries are currently subject to trade
embargoes imposed by the United States.
In addition, the company faces challenges in other parts of the world. Tariffs on
steel and aluminum imposed by Mexico, Canada, and the European Union have
raised the cost of raw materials.
Coca-Cola is also vulnerable to sugar taxes imposed by bodies such as the Food
and Drug Administration (FDA).
