The firm noted volume growth in key emerging markets such as India (20%), Russia (9%), China (7%) and Brazil (6%), but said volume performance remained soft in European regions.
Central and Southern Europe and Northwest Europe and Nordics both suffered 5% declines in the quarter, due to the ongoing recession and unfavourable weather.
Beyond India, Russian Coke brand volumes were up 23%, the Philippines 7%, while in Brazil (4%), Germany (3%) and Mexico (1%) volumes also grew.
Worldwide still beverage volumes rose 9% in Q2 and in 2012 to date, with Coke claiming volume and value gains across all the still beverage categories in which it competes.
RTD teas grew 13% by volume in the quarter, packaged water grew 10% and energy drinks 21%.
Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO, said: "We are pleased with our second quarter and year-to-date results. We are delivering consistent quality performance in line with our 2020 Vision growth targets, despite a very challenging and increasingly unpredictable global economy.”
He added: “Notably, we continue to gain global volume and value share by giving our consumers what they are looking for: meaningful brand connections, wide-ranging product and package choices, greater information about our brands, and significant investments in programs that support healthy and active lifestyles, all at the heart of our brand values.”
Announcing its Q2 and H1 results today, Atlanta-based Coke said it grew global beverage volumes 4% in Q2 2012 (5% in the year to date), while Q2 net revenues grew 3%.
