Market Characteristics - General
Consumption of RTDs on the rise
Have such drinks while on outings, hanging out, or as thirst quenchers
Consumption highly seasonal
Shift from CSDs to Juices and MBDs• Health concerns
• Pesticide controversy
Preference for Tetrapacks
Word of mouth plays a major role
Cost not a major factor
14
Market Characteristics - MBDs
Has not made significant inroads in the market
Replacement for coffee or tea during summer months
More filling than fruit juices Preference for coffee and
chocolate flavours Do not stock MBDs at home Perception that they get spoiled
easily
15
Market Characteristics - Juices
Fast growing segment Seen as a replacement for CSDs Orange and Mango flavours
liked the most Health consciousness
increasing, prefer no preservatives, sugar free versions
Prefer to store them at home, over CSDs and MBDs
16
Conclusions
Carbonated drinks dominate the market
Increased health consciousness making Fruit juices, MBDs on a growth path
Pesticide controversies affected CSDs significantly
17
Inferences
Fruit juice market witnessing high competition• Major players Dabur, PepsiCo hold almost 80%• Numerous smaller players trying to enter• The previous year saw a launch of more than 10 new brands
MBD market dominated by Amul• Large distribution network• Numerous variants• Established credence in milk-based segment• But still has tapped only a small segment of market
18
Inferences
Scope for entry in the MBD segment
• Availability in the market not in tune with possible demand
• Amul lagging in brand promotions and creation of hype
Gradual change in consumer mindset
Ready to accept non-carbonated drinks
Distribution costs kept down by using packaging which negated the need for refrigeration
