Coca-Cola and Pepsi were fought over for a very long time in the carbonated soft drink beverage industry. Today, I will used AFI framework to analyze Cola-Cola performance and find out how did this company deal with the decline in the CSD consumption and its rivalry.

Pepsi competes head-to-head against Coca-Cola in one of the biggest rivalry in United States, the Cola Wars. Although the rivalry did not officially start until 1975, the two companies had been butting heads since the beginning of their respective origins. Although most people in their lifetimes only notice the Pepsi Globe, the Pepsi logo went through drastic changes going from a red signature, to a patriotic bottle cap, to finally a simplistic, Pepsi Globe.

I selected PepsiCo for my MNC research due to the fact that PepsiCo is a world leader in convenient food and beverages that manufacture, market, distribute and sell a wide variety of beverages, foods and snacks, serving consumers in almost every part of the world. PepsiCo operates under six reportable segments: Frito-Lay North America (FLNA), Quaker Foods North America (QFNA), Latin America Foods (LAF), PepsiCo Americas Beverages (PAB), PepsiCo Europe (Europe) and PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa (AMEA). All of the mentioned segments are registered under one symbol “PEP” whose shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, Chicago Stock Exchange and SIX Swiss Exchange.

I have found that two major players, PepsiCo and Coca-Cola dominate the non-alcoholic beverage industry around the world. There is tremendous competition within a relatively slowing industry and PepsiCo currently controls nearly 21% of the industry with its Frito- Lay segment alone controls 60% of the U.S snack-food market.
