The 2 companies already strong brand equity, increasing marketing budget for their flagship brands and constant innovation (e.g. freestyle soda machine) should retain customers’ loyalty. By diversifying their product portfolio through new acquisitions and introduction of a variety of new CSDs such as diet products that already proved their profitability and non CSDs, the two companies should be able to respond and adapt to the customers changing demand and preferences such as increasing health concerns, rising interest in sports and nutritional drinks. The international market remains a key opportunity for Coca cola and Pepsi to sustain and increase their profitability. Even though Coca Cola is already a leader on the international level with 80% of sales in contrast with roughly 50% of sales for Pepsi, many foreign untapped markets are still far from being saturated and constitute a good profitable business, especially within the rising economies in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as growth means higher purchasing power. Finally, the two companies’ consolidation of their bottling system again in 2009 should cut down operating costs and increase

In an industry dominated by two heavyweight contenders, Coke and Pepsi, in fact, between 1996 and 2004 per capita consumption of carbonated soft drinks (CSD) remained between 52 to 54 gallons per year. Consumption grew by an average of 3% per year over the next three decades. Fueling this growth were the increasing availability of CSD, the introduction of diet and flavored varieties, and brand extensions. There is couple of reasons why the industry is so profitable such as market share, availability and diversity and brand name and world class marketing.

The cola industry has faced a great deal of adversity in recent years, mainly concerning the health effects that consumption of cola has on the drinker. From obesity to diabetes, consumers can be plagued by a plethora of health problems through regular ingestion of soda. With such steep health consequences, consumers are beginning to make the switch away from soda and towards beverages with little to no negative health implications. There is an ever-growing availability of substitutes for sodas that are beginning to chip away at soda sales. Every company is watching their sales slip, while fighting over the remaining consumers. Amid declining sales, plateauing growth, and a deteriorating consumer base, soda companies are up against a

Description: The Coca-Cola Company is the world 's largest beverage company and is the leading producer and marketer of soft drinks. Today, Coca-Cola is consumed throughout the world at the rate of more than 600 million times per day and this figure is continuing to rise. However, Coca-Cola is not the sort of company to live on its past glories; instead it looks to the future as a challenge and constantly seeks new markets and ways of increasing its market share in areas where it currently has a strong presence. It is the world 's largest producer and distributor of syrups and concentrates for soft drinks. Products developed by the Company are sold through

(Hollensen, 2004). This would work for Coca Cola as it would allow the product to be made efficiently with low cost, low risk and the product being the same everywhere. The case is however not so as the price of coca cola vary from country to country and across continents. A number of factors at the country play a huge role in the pricing strategy adopts in pricing coca cola. Some come as a result of internal factors, i.e., company objectives, marketing objectives, costs and other marketing mix variables. Those that come as result of external factors include channel member expectations, buyer’s

Coca-Cola is a carbonated soft drink. It is produced by The Coca-Cola Company of Atlanta, Georgia, and is often referred to simply as Coke (a registered trademark of The Coca-Cola Company in the United States since March 27, 1944). Originally intended as a patent medicine when it was invented in the late 19th century by John Pemberton, Coca-Cola was bought out by business man Asa Griggs Candler, whose marketing tactics led Coke to its dominance of the world soft-drink market throughout the 20th century.

Delis and restaurants had low switching costs from brand to brand, but had less ability to negotiate for deep pricing discounts because of volume limitations.

Smaller batches and regular supply of inventory saves the supply chain from surprise large orders or shortages and helps to maintain a smooth pattern of manufacturing and delivering. As we mentioned that suppliers give good prices for a full truck load order. This can be counteracted by supplying a full truck load delivery to one costumer but of different products which the manufacturer makes. This way although the truck is making one trip to the consumer he is getting the benefit of low prices but not overstocking on any product. To counteract the effect of price fluctuation it is recommended to avoid too many and frequent price variations. Many companies follow the EDLP policy. This means that they cut down their prices to every day low prices and thus maintain a standard price line instead of encouraging consumers to shop only when an offer or discount or rebate is offered.

The global beverages industry is currently a low-growth market, with an expected compound annual growth rate of 5.7% between 2017 and 2025 (Grand View Research 2017). Additionally, the industry is quite saturated with firms that offer increasingly differentiated products. However, due to this low growth rate, companies have been engaging in price competition to gain competitive advantage and increase their market share. Nevertheless, Coca Cola is a dominant force in this market, controlling 40% of the industry, and is therefore at a low risk of losing its position.
