Dr Pepper is made by the beverage company Keurig Dr Pepper in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Who makes Dr Pepper?

  • In the US, Canada, and Mexico, Dr Pepper is manufactured and distributed by Keurig Dr Pepper, a large beverage and coffeemaker conglomerate formed in 2018 from the merger of Keurig Green Mountain and Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
  • In some other countries, different bottling partners handle the brand: for example, The Coca‑Cola Company produces Dr Pepper in the UK, Ireland, Japan, and South Korea, while PepsiCo bottles it in several other international markets.

Quick extra context

  • Dr Pepper is not owned by Coca‑Cola or Pepsi; it is its own brand under the Keurig Dr Pepper corporate umbrella, which then partners with Coke or Pepsi bottlers in certain regions for distribution.
  • Because of these regional bottling deals, packaging and even taste can feel slightly different depending on where you buy Dr Pepper. Fans often debate these small differences in online discussions.
