Coca-Cola’s appeal to Palestinians fizzles as the Mideast war boosts demand for a local look-alike
- Chat Cola has gained popularity in the West Bank, with sales surging over 40% last year as Palestinian consumers boycott companies perceived to support Israel, especially after Hamas' attack in October 2023.
- The boycott has affected major American brands, leading to diminished sales and closing KFC branches in Ramallah.
- Chat Cola plans to open a second production site in Jordan to meet rising international demand, despite facing challenges such as a 35% import tax on raw materials from Israeli authorities.
- Under the growing impact of the boycott movement, institutions like Birzeit University in Ramallah have canceled their Coca-Cola orders, reflecting an increase in political consciousness among consumers.
