Issues

Hard to differentiate product in terms of taste as product variety is very limited within cola based beverages. Coca-cola has such a strong base of loyal customers, who identify with the cola brand.

Consumer tastes are changing, away from carbonated drinks towards functional soft drinks. (Mintel, et al. 2009)

Competitive Aids
SWOT Analysis Porters strategies for competitive environment

SWOT analysis
Strength: Pepsi has a broader product line and outstanding reputation. Merger of Quaker Oats produced synergy across the board. Record revenues and increasing market share. Lack of capital constraints (availability of large cash flow). Great brands, strong distribution, innovative capabilities. Number of maker of snacks, such as corn chips and potato chips. PepsiCo sells three products through the same distribution channel. Weakness: Pepsi hard to inspire vision and direction for large global company. Not all PepsiCo products bears the company name. PepsiCo is far away from leader Coca-cola in the international market demand is highly elastic.

Cont
Opportunity: Food division should expand internationally. Noncarbonated drinks are the fastest-growing part of the industry. There are increasing trend towards healthy foods. Focus on most important customer trend Convenience Threats: F&B industry is mature. Pepsi is blamed for pesticide residues in their products in one of their promising emerging market e.g. in India. PepsiCo now competes with Cadbury Schweppes, Coca-cola, and Kraft foods (because of their broader product line) which are well-run and financially sound competitors. Size of company will demand a varied marketing program; Social, cultural, economic, political and governmental constraints.

Porters 5 forces model

The five forces model of Porter is and outside-in business unit strategy tool that is used to make an analysis of the attractiveness (value) of an industry structure Allows the development of a competitive strategy Suggests 5 main forces may be decisive in helping shape the outcome: Suppliers New entrants Substitutes Buyers Industrial competitors

Powerful suppliers can squeeze industry profitability if firms are unable to recover cost increases.

The bargaining power of suppliers

Suppliers are likely to be powerful if:

Supplier industry is dominated by a new firms. Suppliers products have few substitutes. Buyer is not an important input to buyers product. Suppliers products have high switching cost.

The bargaining power of buyers

Buyers compete with the supplying industry by:

Bargaining down prices Forcing higher quality Playing firms off of one another

The threat of substitute products

Products with similar function limit the prices firms can charge Keys to evaluate substitute products: Products with improving price/performance tradeoffs relative to present industry products

The threat of substitute products..Questions?

How many substitute products/services have appeared in your industry in the last 5 years? What are they? How different are they? Were they introduced by your organization or others? Which organization in your industry does the most Research and Development? What happens to price, profits and market share when substitutes are introduced?

Pepsis Successes and Failures in Brazil and Germany

PesiCo has been operating in Brazil since 1953 Pepsis heavy new investment in Brazil, which actually started early this year, is funneled through a joint venture with Baesa, a bottler based in Buenos Aires that operates in Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico. PepsiCo in Germany made a smarter move by acquiring Punica, Germanys premiere juice provider. PepsiCo is one of the worlds largest manufacturer, seller and distributor of beverages Pepsi has very limited brands in Germany. Their struggles in Germany include Coca-cola and a rash of suicidal commercials for Pepsi Max that depicts a single lonely calorie committing suicide.

Conclusion

It can be seen then that differences do exist between Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola. This can be seen in the marketing variables which are the basis for segmentation such as age and geographic variables. In a competitive market, both companies must identify and target different market segments in order to remain at the cutting edge. Differences between the companies are evident with respect to product, pricing, place and promotion. Coca-cola relies heavily on value: quality is more than something we see or taste. (http://www.coca-cola.com). Pepsi, on the other hand, relies on its success resulting from superior products and high standards of performance (http://www.pepsico.com).
