PEPSICO
Pepsi is a soft drink produced and manufactured by PepsiCo. The drink was first made in
the 1880s by pharmacist Caleb Bradham in New Bern, North Carolina. The brand was
trademarked on June 16, 1903. There have been many Pepsi variants produced over the
years since 1898.PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and has grown to become one of the
country’s leading food and beverage companies. One of the largest multinational

BCG MATRIX
STARS: - High growth business competing in market where they are relatively strong
compared with the competition. They have a high point shares and are the ideal
businesses.
CASH: - Low-growth business with a relatively high point shares. These businesses were
stars but now have lost their attractiveness.
QUESTION MARK: - Businesses with low point share but which may have a high
growth rate. This suggests that they have potential but may require huge ever, a
competing force extraordinary effort in order to grow point share.
DOGS: - Businesses that have low relative share and low expected growth rate. Dogs
may generate enough points to sustain but they are rarely, if ever, a competing force.
PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL OF
COMPETITION
1. Soft Drink Industry Five Forces Analysis:
Soft drink industry is very profitable, more so for the concentrate producers than the
bottler’s. This is surprising considering the fact that product sold is a commodity which
can even be produced easily. There are several reasons for this, using the five forces
analysis we can clearly demonstrate how each force contributes the profitability of the
industry.
Barriers to Entry:
The several factors that make it very difficult for the competition to enter the soft drink
market include:
• Bottling Network: Both Coke and PepsiCo have franchisee agreements with their
existing bottler’s who have rights in a certain geographic area in perpetuity. These
agreements prohibit bottler’s from taking on new competing brands for similar
products. Also with the recent consolidation among the bottler’s and the backward
integration with both Coke and Pepsi buying significant percent of bottling
companies, it is very difficult for a firm entering to find bottler’s willing to
distribute their product.
The other approach to try and build their bottling plants would be very capital-intensive
effort with new efficient plant capital requirements in 1998 being $75 million.
• Advertising Spend: The advertising and marketing spend (Case Exhibit 5 & 6) in
the industry is in 2000 was around $ 2.6 billion (0.40 per case * 6.6 billion cases)
mainly by Coke, Pepsi and their bottler’s. The average advertisement spending
per point of market share in 2000 was 8.3 million (Exhibit 2). This makes it
extremely difficult for an entrant to compete with the incumbents and gain any
visibility.
• Brand Image / Loyalty: Coke and Pepsi have a long history of heavy advertising
and this has earned them huge amount of brand equity and loyal customer’s all
over the world. This makes it virtually impossible for a new entrant to match this
scale in this market place.
Suppliers:
Buyers:
The major channels for the Soft Drink industry (Exhibit 6) are food stores, Fast food
fountain, vending, convenience stores and others in the order of market share. The
profitability in each of these segments clearly illustrate the buyer power and how
different buyers pay different prices based on their power to negotiate.
• Food Stores: These buyers in this segment are some what consolidated with
several chain stores and few local supermarkets, since they offer premium shelf
space they command lower prices, the net operating profit before tax (NOPBT)
for concentrate producer’s in this segment is $0.23/case
• Fountain: This segment of buyer’s are the least profitable because of their large
amount of purchases hey make, It allows them to have freedom to negotiate. Coke
and Pepsi primarily consider this segment “Paid Sampling” with low margins.
NOPBT in this segment is $0.09 /case.
• Vending: This channel serves the customer’s directly with absolutely no power
with the buyer, hence NOPBT of $0.97/case.
Substitutes:
Large numbers of substitutes like water, beer, coffee, juices etc are available to the end
consumers but this countered by concentrate providers by huge advertising, brand equity,
and making their product easily available for consumers, which most substitutes cannot
match. Also soft drink companies diversify business by offering substitutes themselves to
shield themselves from competition.
Rivalry:
The Concentrate Producer industry can be classified as a Duopoly with Pepsi and Coke as
the firms competing. The market share of the rest of the competition is too small to cause
any upheaval of pricing or industry structure. Pepsi and Coke mainly over the years
competed on differentiation and advertising rather than on pricing except for a period in
the 1990’s. This prevented a huge dent in profits. Pricing wars are however a feature in
their international expansion strategies.
• With the decrease in the number of bottler’s from 2000 in 1970 to less than 300 in
2000, the concentrate producers were concerned about the bottler’s clout and
started acquiring stakes in the bottling business.
• They could offer attractive packaging to the end consumer.
• To preempt new competition from entering business if they control the bottling.
4. Can Coke and Pepsi sustain their profits in the wake of flattening demand and
growing popularity of non-carbonated drinks?
Yes Coke can Pepsi can sustain their profits in the industry because of the following
reasons:
• The industry structure for several decades has been kept intact with no new
threats from new competition and no major changes appear on the radar line
• This industry does not have a great deal of threat from disruptive forces in
technology.
• Coke and Pepsi have been in the business long enough to accumulate great
amount of brand equity which can sustain them for a long time and allow them to
use the brand equity when they diversify their business more easily by leveraging
the brand.
• Globalization has provided a boost to the people from the emerging economies to
move up the economic ladder. This opens up huge opportunity for these firms
• Per capita consumption in the emerging economies is very small compared to the
US market so there is huge potential for growth.
• Coke and Pepsi can diversify into non–carbonated drinks to counter the flattening
demand in the carbonated drinks. This will provide diversification options and
provide an opportunity to grow.
Globalization provides Coke and Pepsi with both unique challenges as well as
opportunities at the same time. To certain extent globalization has changed the industry
structure because of the following factors.
• Rivalry Intensity: Coke has been more dominant (53% of market share in 1999).
in the international market compared to Pepsi (21% of market share in 1999) This
can be attributed to the fact that it took advantage of Pepsi entering the markets
late and has set up its bottler’s and distribution networks especially in developed
markets. This has put Pepsi at a significant disadvantage compared to the US
Market.
• Barriers to Entry: Barriers to entry are not as strong in emerging markets and it
will be more challenging to Coke and Pepsi, where they would have to deal with
regulatory challenges, cultural and any existing competition who have their
distribution networks already setup. The will lack the clout that have with the
bottler’s in the US.
• Suppliers: Since the raw material’s are commodities there should be no problems
on this front this is not any different
• Substitutes: Since many of the markets are culturally very different and vast
numbers of substitutes are available, added to the fact that carbonated products
are not the first choices to quench thirst in these cultures present additional
significant challenges.
***The S&P Average of Industry Groups is derived by weighting the returns of two

more
NO FIX SCHEME- Pepsi company does not provides a fix scheme in a single
market, due to which they are loosing customer loyalty towards Pepsi

Under the agreements, PBG shareholders will have the option to elect either $36.50 in
cash or 0.6432 shares of PepsiCo common stock (which had a value of $36.50 based on
PepsiCo closing share price of $56.75 on July 31, 2009) for each share of PBG, subject to
proration such that the aggregate consideration to be paid to PBG shareholders shall be
50 percent cash and 50 percent PepsiCo common stock. Similarly, PAS shareholders will
have the option to elect either $28.50 in cash or 0.5022 shares of PepsiCo common stock
for each share of PAS (which had a value of $28.50 based on PepsiCo closing share price
of $56.75 on July 31, 2009), subject to proration such that the aggregate consideration to
be paid to PAS shareholders shall be 50 percent cash and 50 percent PepsiCo common
stock.
The total value of the shares that PepsiCo will be acquiring is about $7.8 billion, and the
acquisitions will create one of the largest food and beverage companies globally. Based
on the recommendations of the Special Committee of PBG and the Transactions
Committee of PAS, the boards of directors of PBG and PAS, respectively, have approved
the transactions.
This transaction is expected to create annual pre-tax synergies of $300 million by 2012
largely due to greater cost efficiency and also improved revenue opportunities. The
acquisitions are expected to be accretive to PepsiCo's earnings by about 15 cents per
share when synergies are fully realized in 2012.
PepsiCo Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi said, "PepsiCo has had a
constructive partnership with PBG and PAS over the past 10 years. While the existing
model has served the system very well, it is clear that the changing dynamics of the North
American liquid refreshment beverage business demand that we create a more flexible,
efficient and competitive system that can drive growth across the full range of PepsiCo
beverage brands. Our shared culture, strong operational leadership and ability to
successfully integrate operations - in this case operations we know very well - should
allow us to bring the businesses together quickly and seamlessly.
"The fully integrated beverage business will enable us to bring innovative products and
packages to market faster, streamline our manufacturing and distribution systems and
react more quickly to changes in the marketplace, much like we do with our food
business," Nooyi said. "It will also make it easier to leverage 'Power of One'
opportunities that involve both our beverage and food offerings, and for PepsiCo to
present one face to retail customers. Ultimately it will put us in a much better position to
compete and to grow both now and in the years ahead."
"This transaction provides outstanding value for PBG shareholders, offers new and
expanded opportunities for PBG employees and positions the combined company to
accelerate growth going forward," said Eric Foss, Chairman and CEO of PBG. "PBG has
a proven track record of success driven by best-in-class execution, consistently exceeding
customer expectations and creating superior shareholder value. After a thorough
evaluation process, the PBG Board concluded that this transaction represents full and fair
value and is the best outcome for PBG shareholders, employees and customers.
Ultimately, the transaction positions the entire Pepsi system to continue to win in the
marketplace."
PepsiAmericas Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert C. Pohlad said, "Over the
past nine years, PepsiAmericas and each of our employees have helped build a
remarkable organization. The success we have achieved is reflected in the agreement
reached with PepsiCo. This agreement provides great value to our shareholders and an
opportunity for them to participate in the unique potential of this combination. Bringing
together these three great companies is bold and strategically innovative, and will create a
system unmatched in our industry."
PepsiCo expects the transaction to directly complement the transformation efforts already
underway in its North American beverage business. Those efforts have included
refreshing such brands as Pepsi and Gatorade and introducing an array of new products,
ranging from the naturally sweetened zero-calorie SoBe Lifewater to low-calorie Trop50.
At the same time PepsiCo has taken steps to fundamentally improve its cost structure.
PepsiCo cited a number of specific benefits it expects to realize by consolidating its two
largest bottlers:

Pepsi’s new packaging strategy - launching 35 separate graphic designs on their flagship
product - is, in a word, BRILLIANT. Why?
1. The human brain craves novelty. It was built that way. We search for things that are
new and ignore things that are old. Pepsi (and Coke) have more linear feet of product per
store than any other brand. With the same graphics day in and day out, it’s just wallpaper.
It goes unnoticed. New designs will capture the consumers eye and draw people into the
product.
2. Packaging is your most cost effective advertising. It’s working media. It’s treated as
a cost of goods, but in reality, it’s an opportunity to reinforce the brand with every sale. It
should be used more strategically, as a way to say who the brand is, to reaffirm
personality. Right now, most every manufacturer wastes it.
3. Pepsi’s consumer is young and energetic. They look for things that are dynamic, fun,
and different. This strategy is perfectly in tune.
4. A visual image is worth a thousand words. Rather than say who they are, Pepsi is
showing it. Too many manufacturers clutter their packages with words, not images or
stories. It’s lazy and design firms should do better. These packages say more about the
brand - wordlessly - than any copy driven verbal strategy could.

Recent articles or news about company (since
2009-10 to till date);
In a first, the company recently set up kiosks at retail outlets and invited shoppers to
sample its Tropicana juice. The move, which took off in Mumbai, was complemented by
nutritionists appointed by the company. In the Delhi-NCR region, the effort was
replicated by roping in resident welfare associations (RWAs).
PepsiCo, which deems this as unconventional marketing, says it reached out to 15,000
consumers directly with the pilot RWA project and more such efforts are in the works.
“We plan to spend over 8% of our overall advertising and promotional spends on below-
the-line media other than television, like digital media and in-store activities,” said
PepsiCo executive director, marketing Punita Lal, adding that the expenditure on
unconventional media will grow in the coming days.
Like rival Coca-Cola, Pepsi too raised the prices of some beverages by up to 20%, giving
in to surging sugar costs.
The move could stain the growth of beverages and foods companies, especially PepsiCo
India, whose beverage business grew 32% last year, the highest in a decade. Indeed,
Pepsi has become accustomed to a 20-30% volume growth in recent quarters.
Maintaining the growth momentum is vital to PepsiCo India as the country has been
identified by its New York-based parent as a key emerging market along with China.
Analysts said the rationale behind PepsiCo’s marketing bustle across media is illuminated
when viewed against this backdrop. Though she had no comment on absolute numbers,
Ms Lal said PepsiCo’s marketing costs would rise this year in line with addressing the
growing beverages category. The company’s annual ad and promotions budget is learnt
to be around Rs 120 crore. It is also among the country’s top 10 ad spenders, according to
media tracking firm TAM. For its flagship cola, Pepsi, the company kicked off a
campaign late last year linked to social networking sites such as Facebook, Orkut and
Twitter. The ‘What’s Your Way’ campaign invited consumers to co-create ways to
communicate to consumers. This was also Pepsi’s first major campaign that kept out
television.
PepsiCo’s fresh marketing moves come as rival consumer goods companies too are
waking up to the importance of digital media, though Indian examples are few and far
between. While Unilever has jumped onto social networking to push the sales of Close-
up, its toothpaste brand, in Vietnam, Coca-Cola recently kicked off a campaign on
Facebook inviting consumers to create flavours of its vitamin water Glaceau in the US.
PepsiCo and Adobe Systems are headed by Indian origin chief executives Indra Nooyi
and Shantanu Narayen, respectively. Both the companies have cornered a place in the list
of 100 most ethical companies for 2010, as per the report by a research-based Ethisphere
Institute.
Besides, debt-ridden Hartford Financial Services have also made it to the list, which was
earlier headed by India-origin chief Ramani Ayer. He left Hartford Financial Services in
June last year after serving for 12 years.
According to the report, the world's most ethical company designation is awarded to
those firms that have leading ethics and compliance programmes, compared to their
industry peers.
Interestingly, the companies that have secured a berth on the list are from wide range of
industries, right from banking to consumer goods to auto, retail and media.
The list also includes search engine giant Google, global lender Standard Chartered Bank,
hardware maker Hewlett-Packard, consumer products manufacturer L'Oreal, diversified
industries General Electric, telecom company Vodafone and media and entertainment
firm Time Warner.
Soft drinks and snacks firm PepsiCo India filed a lawsuit against the makers of Complan
and Glucon-D in Delhi High Court because Heinz’s Glucon-D Isotonik uses similar
tagline as PepsiCo’s Gatorade sports drink, a person familiar with the development told
ET.
Gatorade uses the tagline ‘rehydrate, replenish, refuel’, while Heinz advertisements say
‘Glucon-D Isotonik rehydrates fluids, replenishes vital salts and recharges glucose’.
The matter is coming up for hearing later this week, the person said.
PepsiCo has been selling Gatorade sports drink in India since 2004 with the advertising
proposition ‘rehydrate, replenish, refuel’. It got the three words registered as its
trademark around the same time.
“It (PepsiCo) has alleged that the same words are now being used by Heinz to market its
glucose drink,” said another person privy to the ongoing battle.
When contacted, Heinz spokesperson said, “The matter is sub judice but we are strong on
our facts and conviction.”
A person close to Heinz said the words are generic and have been used by the company
“to describe the entire concept of energy drinks”.
Though a small category estimated at close to Rs 350 crore, it has been growing in
double digits of about 22-25%. While Heinz leads the powder-based glucose market with
a share of over 60%, Dabur has share of about 28%.
As the New York-based beverages giant PepsiCo looks to markets like India to keep the
growth momentum ticking, the Indian arm is trying to pull out all stops to keep its recent
track record intact – high double-digit growth. PepsiCo India executive director
(marketing) for beverages Punita Lal spoke to Ratna Bhushan about challenges like
higher pricing and keeping consumers engaged, as the season kicks in. Excerpts:
PepsiCo took up pricing after a long gap in the beginning of this year. Won’t the growth
momentum be impacted? What are you doing to ensure consumers keep coming?
Beverages had a great year but since we have taken up pricing now, we need to ensure we
keep consumer demand robust. We are attempting this in several ways. Enhancing value
is one. Our one-litre pack for carbonated drinks which we rolled out a month back —
priced at Rs 32 each —is a good value proposition.
We are positioning it as a small celebration for the family, and we’ve called it the home
pack. Our slim can at Rs 15 again offers great value. Then there are glass bottles and 600-
ml PET packs. So value, affordability, penetration – we are addressing all these. We are
also looking at new channels to reach the consumer.
The one big learning is that you just can’t do a monologue ... consumer engagement is
key. A clear shift is happening in brand communication, and consumers should not just
be recipients of marketing messages but partner us in creating content. As for pricing, in
the Indian context, the penetration of our category is still so low that we would want to do
everything we could to hold prices. We have taken up prices reluctantly this year; we did
not last year when most other FMCG companies did. The way inflation costs are these
days, I don’t see a roll back of prices soon.
The company’s US headquarters announced last month that it would list detailed
calorie content on beverage container front packs. Are you looking at similar plans
for India?
We are in the process of evaluating the benefits front-pack labeling would give
consumers in India. While we are totally committed to offer the consumer transparency,
we also need to understand how much he/ she understands and relates to such
information. It’s a dialogue we are having currently. We are trying to factor in the
consumer’s relative awareness to nutritional information into the labeling initiative.
The company often talks about portfolio transformation to ‘good for you’ and
‘better for you’ products. How relevant is that for India?
We are certainly addressing healthier needs of consumers. As you know, we are working
on a bottom-of-pyramid product which is in progress, though I don’t think the timeline
for launch is formalised yet. Then we have the Tropicana 100% juices, Gatorade with
specific functional benefits, Nimbooz (nimbu pani) which is known to be a hydration
product. So we are certainly driving the change to, as you say, ‘healthier’ refreshment.
Also, we will be looking at more sugar-free products and we hope regulatory approvals
for alternate sweeteners come soon. But at the same time, while the consumer is showing
more trends of being health and wellness conscious and there certainly is a lot of talk, she
is not walking the talk that much. Even when we do have no-sugar variants or low-sugar
variants, it’s not as if that becomes the first choice of all consumers.
I don’t think that change has happened as yet, and between intention and behaviour, there
exists a gap. There is also a taste challenge that one needs to deal with when non-natural
sweeteners are used. And consumers clearly do not want to compromise on taste.
CHICAGO: Global cola major PepsiCo aims to triple its USD 10 billion health drink
business over the next 10 years as it sees "huge growth areas" for its 'Good for You'
drinks, the company's Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi said.
"There is a tremendous growth in the health drinks segment. Right now we have a USD
10 billion business for 'Good for You' products.
"We think over the next 10 years, the business will be worth USD 30 billion," Nooyi said
at an event organised by the Economic Club of Chicago on Monday.
She said going forward, the USD 60-billion PepsiCo would focus on geographic
development as well as expansion of its 'Good for you' category of snacks and drinks.
While the company would expand footprint of its existing products, there are several
markets where the per capita consumption of Pepsi's products is low.
There are tremendous geographic growth opportunities especially in the fruits, vegetables
and grains category.
Nooyi said while Pepsi already has a sizeable business in the health drinks segment, there
are huge growth areas for the future.
PepsiCo commands significant market share with its portfolio of health and wellness
drinks.
About 80 per cent of the company's portfolio is made up of 'Fun for you' products such as
Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Lays, Doritos and Fritos.
The other 20 per cent is made up of 'Good for you' health drinks such as Tropicana,
Quaker Oats and Gatorade.
Last week PepsiCo announced that it was exploring possibility of a joint venture in non-
fizzy soft drinks like juices with Tata Tea, which has under its belt natural mineral water
brand Himalayan and energy drink 'T!ON'.
Nooyi, however, refused to comment on the JV. On her outlook for the American
economy, Nooyi said the US would continue to be the "single largest economy" over the
next 20-30 years.
Contrary to popular sentiments that in the coming years, balance of power would shift to
Asia, which will become home to some of the largest economies, "US will remain the
most powerful economy," she said.
"The country still is a hotbed of creativity. Don't write off the US. I don't think the world
can be successful if the US is not successful," she added.
Two officials close to the development told ET that the JV is considering leveraging the
Tata brand and expertise in low-cost consumer products and coupling it with PepsiCo’s
distribution muscle, go-to-market expertise and R&D strength in beverages.
Its likely focus on the lower end of the market will ensure that PepsiCo’s existing global
alliance with Unilever to sell Lipton ice tea, which focuses on the mid- to-premium
segment, will not be impacted. The new tieup will give PepsiCo the opportunity to be
perceived as a wholesome beverages company, not just as a company making fizzy
drinks. Tata Tea will get a larger foothold in the wellness beverages segment after an
earlier attempt to foray in the category had to be aborted within a year.
Tata Tea, through its indirect UK subsidiary, Tata Tea (GB) Investments, had picked up
30% stake in the US-based maker of vitamin water Glaceau in mid-’06 for $677 million.
But in 2007, Tata Tea had to sell off its 30% stake in Energy Brands Inc — which owns
Glaceau — to beverage giant Coca-Cola for $1.2 billion, less than a year after it acquired
the stake.
And though Tata Tea has been aggressive in acquiring companies in the beverages sector
including Tetley, Eight O’clock Coffee and Good Earth, its wellness and health
beverages portfolio in India so far is limited to Himalayan packaged water and Ti!ON, an
energy drink made from fruit juice and tea extracts. Ti!ON is not a national brand yet.
It must be pointed out here that PepsiCo’s partnership with Hindustan Unilever for
distributing Lipton iced tea in India did not take off in the way both companies expected
to.
In a joint statement released last Friday, both PepsiCo and Tata Tea maintained: “The
proposed joint venture is not intended to conflict with any existing arrangements of either
party.” Though the Rs 7,000-crore aerated soft drink market has been growing at a
healthy 20%-plus in India, PepsiCo has been expanding its portfolio in the health and
wellness space aggressively globally as well as in the domestic market, in line with its
ambition of being a global leader in the ‘good for you’ beverages segment.
PepsiCo’s existing health and wellness brands include packaged water Aquafina,
Tropicana juices, Nimbooz nimbu pani and sports drink Gatorade.
PepsiCo India clocks highest volume growth in a decade
12 Feb 2010, 0022 hrs IST,ET Bureau
NEW DELHI: Beverage and snack foods maker PepsiCo India clocked its highest
volume growth in a decade – with its beverage business growing over 32% in calendar
year ’09. India topped beverage volume growth in the Asia, Mid-East and Africa region,
at 32% in the year. In the October-December quarter too, India was the highest-growing

India is a top priority market for the New York-headquartered PepsiCo, and the country
was allocated ‘region’ status two year back — which meant more room for decision-
making and higher resource allocation. Last year, PepsiCo integrated beverages and
snacks businesses under the common leadership of Mr Chadha, in line with its ‘power of
one’ strategy followed in many world markets. PepsCo India recently secured clearance
from FIPB to inject fresh equity of $200 million over the next two years.
Results from new PepsiCo disappoint; shares slip

NEW YORK: PepsiCo Inc posted disappointing results as its home turf rivalry with
Coca-Cola Co heated up and the benefits of a deal to buy its largest bottlers was yet to
kick in fully.
The maker of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay snacks said first-quarter revenue missed Wall
Street estimates as sales volume in its Americas beverage business fell 4 percent.
Chief Executive Indra Nooyi said the year started off well, with the company "gaining
share" and "doing great" for the first eight weeks or so.
The period included promotions tied to the Super Bowl and two months when bottlers
Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas were independent before their Feb. 26
acquisition by PepsiCo.
"All of a sudden we see a competitor dropping their pants in the last couple weeks when
the volume is missing," Nooyi said on a conference call, referring to increased
promotions by some rivals. "We see this behavior on and off...but we live with it."
In the first quarter that ended on March 20, net income was $1.43 billion, or 89 cents a
share, up from $1.14 billion, or 72 cents a share, a year earlier.
PepsiCo shares closed down 1.9 percent at $64.76 on the New York Stock Exchange.
Shares of Coke, which earlier this week reported a 2 percent drop in North American
volume and also cited "some pretty deep" price reductions, slipped 0.2 percent.
WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY
According to Consumer Edge Research, prices for Pepsi's carbonated soft drinks were
down 1.3 percent in January and 4.2 percent in February, but rose 3 percent in March. By
contrast, Coke's prices were up slightly in January, down slightly in February and up 3.2
percent in March.
Pepsi's aggressive stance on pricing in January and February may have been fueled by the
fact that the bottlers were not yet part of PepsiCo and their results were not yet included
in its financial statements, analysts said.
"They had a window of opportunity there, to act pretty much any way they wanted to
competitively ... and not really have any financial ramifications on any quarterly earnings
results," said Victory Capital Management analyst Dave Kolpak.
Consumer Edge's analysis is based on IRI scanner data and does not include
noncarbonated drinks like sports drinks and bottled teas.
Nooyi said North American beverage volume trends were improving across the board and
noted the company was also facing tougher comparisons with a strong first half of 2009.
Still, the company affirmed its 2010 profit target, which calls for earnings per share to
grow 11 percent to 13 percent, excluding currency fluctuations.
The forecast assumes 6 percent earnings growth in the first half of the year and mid-teens
growth in the second half. The first half includes a charge of about $40 million related to
the U.S. healthcare reform bill.
This follows its initiative to increase the use of renewable energy sources, like biomass,
solar and wind power, at its beverage and snacks plants.
Each project is determined by the needs of the community hence each is different,
Pepsico India region chairman Sanjeev Chadha told reporters after inaugurating the
Paithan project.
Added Vivek Bharati, executive director, PepsiCo India Holdings, “We are eventually
looking at getting carbon credits through greater use of renewable energy. Nearly 37 per
cent of energy used at our beverages plants is from renewable sources and 14 per cent at
our snacks plants. For the future, we will increase the use of renewable energy at our
snacks plants.”
Mr Bharati pointed to the snacks plant at Ranjangaon, near Pune, where they have
eliminated the use of crude oil by using biomass. While potato waste powers the
Ranjangaon plant, rice husk is used at their largest snacks plant at Kolkata.
By one estimate, Pepsico will recover its investment in two years by using biomass and
its franchisee bottlers are also part of the programme.

Under its brand 7Up, PepsiCo introduced 'Nimbooz, which is targeted at the mass market
and is priced at Rs 10 for a 200 ml bottle and and Rs 15 for 350 ml bottle.
"The total size of the Indian juice market would be around one billion cases, including
the unorganised. However, the packaged branded juice market would be very
insignificant. Our focus would be to drive the market as well as gain momentum of our
growth with the launch of this product," PepsiCo India Executive Director (Marketing)
Punita Lal told reporters here.
She also said the company will more flavours in the coming months depending upon the
growth of 'Nimbooz'.
"There is a large opportunity in this juice market. We have just started out with this
launch. Depending on the market and as when the opportunity arises, we will introduce
more flavours in the coming months," Lal added.
When asked about having contract farmers for lemon, she said "We already have contract
farmers for other citrus products, like orange. We are in talks of starting for lemon as
well."
