Research approach gives a non technical description of the data collection method, measurement instrument, sample and analytical techniques. The beverage market in India is worth 2074.67 Million INR. Though the major portion of the market is still dominated by the carbonated soft drinks there is major shift towards the Juice segment. There was a growth of 31.52% in the Juice segment from 2007 to 2008. As a result of this phenomenal growth, a lot of competition has entered the market. A number of new brands have flooded the market. The competition from Indian beverages such as Sugarcane Juice, Buttermilk, and Fresh Juices etc has also captured a sizeable share of the market. Due to these changes in the beverage market there is a need to identify and evaluate the reasons for the shift in the consumer purchasing pattern. This study aims to determine the factors influencing the consumer decision while buying fruit drinks in the age group 19-30 in the city of Pune.

    Soft Drink Industry
    • 14476 Words

    Soft Drink Industry

    The 50-bn-rupee soft drink industry is growing now at 6 to 7% annually. In India, Coke and Pepsi have a combined market share of around 95% directly or through franchisees. Campa Cola has a 1% share, and the rest is divided among local players. Industry watchers say, fake products also account for a good share of the balance. There are about 110 soft drink producing units (60% being owned by Indian bottlers) in the country, employing about 125,000 people. There are two distinct segments of the market, cola and non-cola drinks. The cola segment claims a share of 62%, while the non-cola segment includes soda, clear lime, cloudy lime and drinks with orange and mango flavours. The per capita consumption of soft drinks in India is around 5 to 6 bottles (same as Nepal's) compared to Pakistan's 17 bottles, Sri Lanka's 21, Thailand's 73, the Philippines 173 and Mexico 605. The industry contributes over Rs 12 bn to the exchequer and exports goods worth Rs 2 bn. It also supports growth of industries like glass, refrigeration, transportation, paper and sugar. The Department of Food Processing Industries had stipulated that 'contains-no-fruit-juice' labels be pasted on returnable glass bottles. About 85% of the soft drinks are currently sold in returnable bottles. There was a floating stock of about 1000 mn bottles valued at Rs 6 bn. If the industry were to abide by the new guidelines, it would have to invest in new bottles, resulting in a cost outgo of Rs 5 bn. Neither Coke nor Pepsi is in a position to invest such a large amount. Around 400,000 tonnes of raw material would be required to replace the existing stock of bottles. Instead, the soft drink industry suggested that a seven-year moratorium be extended to the industry so that it can incorporate the change in a phased manner. There is no such mandatory requirement anywhere in the world to specifically label the glass surface of returnable bottles.…
