Industry Analysis Jay Crook
Threat of Competitors http://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=COKE+Competitors
Threat of Competitors High Pressure • The major competitors are Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Both have a wide range of beverage products. Coca-Cola has a long history that has created generations of loyal customers. Pepsi is trying to attract the younger generations with marketing • Other soda brands with unique flavors such as Dr. Pepper and Nehi Grape, compete with the market share • The top three companies hold more than 85 per cent of the market with Coca-Cola in the lead followed by PepsiCo and Dr. Pepper Snapple
Threat of Competitors Carbonated Soft Drinks Shares for 2011
New Entrants Low Pressure • There is a continuous line of new brands appearing in the market with often lower prices than Coke & Pepsi products • Existing bottlers have franchise agreements with major companies that prohibit them from taking on competing brands • Major competitors can instigate a price war • New entrants must supply a large population to overcome high fixed costs for warehouses, trucks, and labor, and economies of scale
Threat of Substitutes Medium to high pressure • Many soft drink products in the market. In a blind taste test, many people couldn’t tell the difference between Coca-Cola and Pepsi • More people are drinking bottled water, fruit juice, lemonade and tea instead of soda • Popularity of bottled water caused a drop in sales for carbonated drinks, with a market drop of 2.1% in 2009 • Energy drinks are growing fast in the beverage industry, but the market share is just 1% of the market. It may slow down due to calls for greater regulation and research • Other substitutes: tap water, milk, coffee, juices and alcoholic drinks
Bargaining Power of Suppliers Low pressure • The main ingredients for soft drinks include coloring, flavor, carbonated water, phosphoric acid, sweetener, additives and caffeine. There are many suppliers to choose from. • Any supplier would not want to lose a major customer.
Bargaining Power of Buyers Low pressure • Major competitors price their soft drinks about the same. • Less popular beverages tend to have lower prices but flavor and quality may be lower. • Large retailers have bargaining power due to quantity, but that is suppressed because of consumer brand loyalty • Major buyers include food stores, convenience stores, fountain drink sellers and vending machine distributers • Restaurants have less bargaining power due to ordering a small volume demand • With less people drinking less soft drinks, the bargaining power of buyers could increase due to decreasing buyer demand

Threat Christopher Muse
Competitors http://finance.yahoo.com/q/co?s=COKE+Competitors
Threat PepsiCo is the Leading competitor • In 2011 PepsiCo • 28% of drink shares • 38% more revenue than coke due to other products such as Frito Lay, Quaker, Tropicana Increasing Health awareness among Americans • Soda Sales have dropped over the past 4 years • 2011 1% • 2010 0.5% • 2009 2.1% • 2008 3% Laws And regulations • New York City Sugary Drink Ban • Restaurants, fast food chains, and movie theaters are unable to sell sugary drinks that are more than 16 ounces • At the moment this law is limited to fountain drinks and does restrict bottled drinks sold at a grocery or convenient store • If this law can be passed, more strict laws could be passed as well
Recommendations Hải Lê
Recommendations • KO should increase investment in global expansion, especially Asian market and potential market Africa. • KO should take advantages from its current successful products in order to diverse product line and product depth. The dominant position in its current market could substantially provide many benefits for KO in launching new products. • KO should put more money on buy-out plan to turn its competitors’ profit to its own profit. • The final recommendation for KO is to recognizing its brand power and benefit itself in order to widen the gap between them and its competitors.
