Introduction Drinks Market The soft drink market contributes around £7.7 billion to the U.K. economy and supports 135,000 jobs.

While Pepsico and Coca-Cola are both multinational corporations (MNCs) with extensive experience in international operations, their business dealings in India are not their most long held nor the least problematic.

Both of these MNCs experienced difficulty in establishing their companies, and while they have made some great headway they have also experienced some extreme business angst along the way.…

The soft drink industry is a highly profitable industry and its success is due to the large consumption of non-alcoholic beverages through which both concentrate producers and bottlers are profitable. Given the U.S. Industry consumption Statistics, Exhibit 1, it is clear that, after deducting beer and wine, soft drinks account for about 90 % of the total liquid consumption, while Coke and Pepsi account for about 75 % of the soft drink industry. The high consumption of CSDs is related to the soft drink industry selling to consumers through five principal channels: food stores, convenience stores, vending, fountain and other. Out of the five channels the case describes vending as the most profitable channel for the soft drink industry as Coke and Pepsi bottlers sell directly to the consumers through vending machines owned by the bottlers.…
As society becomes more health conscious, domestic consumers are looking for healthier products. Increasing public concern of health issues, such as obesity, poses new challenges for the carbonated soft drink (CSD) industry, which has experienced declining growth in demand for recent years (Exhibit 1). As the United States has been Coca-Cola’s largest source of revenues by country and the company relies heavily on its domestic CSD market, this trend threatens the company’s future profitability. Coca Cola must dedicate more resources to the emerging markets of Asia in order to capture larger market shares and revenue.…

Coca-Cola controlled the Indian market until 1977, when the Janata Party beat the Congress Party of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. To punish Coca-Cola's principal bottler, a Congress Party stalwart and longtime Gandhi supporter, the Janata government demanded that Coca-Cola transfer its syrup formula to an Indian subsidiary. Coca-Cola balked and withdrew from the country. India, now left without both Coca-Cola and Pepsi, became a protected market. In the meantime, India's two largest soft-drink producers have gotten rich and lazy while controlling 80% of the Indian market. These domestic producers have little incentive to expand their plants or develop the country's potentially enormous market.…
