Industry / sector profile SOFT DRINK MARKET IN INDIA India’s one billion people, growing middle class, and low per capital consumption of soft drinks made it a highly contested prize in the global CSD market in the early twenty-first century. Ten percent of the country’s population lived in urban areas or large cities and drank tem bottles of soda per year while the vast remainder lived in rural areas, villages, and a small town where annual per capital consumption was less than four bottles. Coke and Pepsi dominated the market and together had consolidated share were above 95%.while soft drinks were once considered products only foe the affluent, by2003 91% of sales were made to the lower, middle and upper middle classes. Soft drink sales in India grew at least 10% per year thought 2012. In spite of this growth, annual per capital consumption was only 88- ounce servings versus 17 in Pakistan, 73 in the Philippines and 800 in the United States. With its large population and low consumption, the rural markets represent a significant opportunity for penetration and critical battleground for market dominance. Experts predict that India’s drinks market will continue to grow in the coming years, overcoming the obstacles presented by the difficulty in marketing to such a large and diverse population and the relative high cost of packaging as a proportion of selling price In addition , the success of smaller pack sizes in the carbonates sector provide fresh impetus for low cost packaging, particularly as the major producers look for ways of competing with lower priced local suppliers. The market preference for soft drinks in India is regional based. While cola drinks have their main market in metro cities and northern states of UP, Panjab, Haryana, etc., orange flavored drinks are popular southern states sodas too are largely in southern states besides sale through bars. Western markets have a preference toward mango-flavored drinks.

9

Types Soft drinks are available in glass bottle, aluminum cans and PET bottles for home consumption fountain also dispense them in disposable container. The non-alcoholic soft drinks beverages market can be divided into fruit drinks and soft drinks. Soft drinks can be further divided inti carbonated- none carbonated drinks. Cola lemon and oranges are carbonated drinks while mango drinks come under the non –carbonated category. The market can also be segment based on the types of product. The brands that fall in the cola category are Pepsi, Coca-Cola, thumps up, diet coke ,diet Pepsi etc. the non-cola segment can be divided into 4 categories based on the type of flavors available, namely ;orange,cloudy,clear and mango.

FINDINGS

As majority of work was related to advertisng and promotion of brand and business development, I have gained deeper understanding of the market then what I had earlier..

One of the major findings was that most of customers was having limited or no knowledge about unique qualities of product, shelf life and mobile app service. Some of them also had some misconceptions about the product. So during conversations with customers, we had to provide product and service details and solve their doubts relating to it.

OBSERVATIONS & SUGGESTIONS Suggestion 

Company should emphasis on selling per bottles for 200ml & 300ml at a lower difference price ,it is portable and convenient to carry



Consumer preference change according to availability, therefore the company should provide their brand at maximum outlets at possible



Company should take care of cleanliness of the bottles risted crown and maintain the quality especially at the time of packaging



Company should get the schemes through mail or message of the product as well as on the free items provide with soft drink so that retailer gets aware about that schemes.



Company should inform each PSR about the schemes before time or on time and check them. Weather is providing them to retailer in the proper manner.



Company should conduct survey quarterly to see weather retailers are satisfied with the product and services.



Schemes have large impact on retailer preference therefore a company should launch different and attractive promotional schemes frequently.



Company should encourage to the retailer to purchase more and soft drink so as develop the sales.



Suggestion to improve or design the new distribution technique which would help Sales team to penetrate in an untouched market, where the delivery of goods is not possible because of inaccessibility.



Delaying and unavailability of products, if this problem is not taken into consideration then it would damage the competitive edge of the company, as rival brands such as coca cola, Paper Boat are working fiercely in the market.



Marketing activities such as branding, sampling, activation, promotion really required to educate the customer about new arrivals in the market such as sting, Pepsi zero sugar. It is important to do some activities with respect to these products as they have huge potential to grow especially in western Mumbai market where the customer can be acquired.
