# A near duopoly in the carbonated drinks market with Coca Cola helped PepsiCo raise prices over the last few quarters with little pushback from consumers as it battled higher freight, commodity and labor costs amid
high inflation.
While the company expects inflationary pressures to persist in 2023, it still sees consumer demand being resilient. The company’s Chief Financial Officer told Reuters that PepsiCo is in a real sweet spot in terms of consumers since they have enough money to buy themselves affordable treats.

But the Frito Lay maker did say it could see some pushback on prices in the second half of the year and forecast annual profit below estimates.
