Why Coca-Cola’s headcount keeps falling

Most people in the Coca-Cola system work for independent bottlers, not for The Coca-Cola Company. When Coca-Cola sells a company-owned bottler, those employees leave its headcount, even though the drinks, trucks and plants keep running.

That is why revenue per employee keeps rising: about $521 in 2022, $578 in 2023, $675 in 2024 and $727 in 2025 (calculated). It is the asset-light model in one number.
