INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
Having food is the necessity of human being and taking various kinds of beverages is todays
fashion, more than the necessity. This gives food & Beverage industry a high level of market
segment, a variety of products, and a number of companies. Food and Beverage Industry
represents fresh, frozen, chilled, and long shelf-life food and beverage products. My study is also
related to the same industry. PEPSICO is a Fortune 500, Americanmultinational corporation
with interests in manufacturing and marketing a wide variety of carbonated and non-carbonated
beverages. PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the Punjab
government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation(PAIC) and Voltas India Limited.
In Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities in India, 29% of Indian consumers report consuming carbonated
beverages/soft drinks during a fixed time of the day suggesting consumption has become aroutine part of their day, with most consumption taking place during the 'afternoon to evening'
time period. Not surprisingly, consumption is highest in Tier I cities such as Mumbai, Delhi,
Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad and Bangalore. The level of consumption is seen to increase with
rising household incomes (with the exception of the highest income level) while decreasing with
age.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY-
To understand the stock position of Pepsi brand and its competitors at different outlets. To study the brand awareness of PepsiCo among the customers.
To know about the reason of irregular supply in the outlets.
To identify the retailers opinion towards Pepsi products.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), are products that are sold quickly at relatively low cost.Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally sell in
large quantities, so the cumulative profit on such products can be large. Examples of FMCG
generally includes a wide range of frequently purchased consumer products such as toiletries,
soap, cosmetics, toothpaste and powders, detergents etc, It also includes pharmaceuticals,
consumer electronics, packaged food products and drinks, although these are often categorized
separately.
Soft drinks industry:
Non alcoholic soft drink beverage market can be divided into fruit drink and soft drink. Soft
drinks can be further divided into carbonated and non carbonated drinks. Cola, lemon and

oranges are carbonated drinks while juices come under non-carbonated category. The soft drinks
market till early 1990s was in hands of domestic players like Thumps Up, Limca, Campa cola
etc. but with the opening up of economy and coming of MNC players Pepsi and Coca Cola the
market is totally under their control. Worldwide, Coke is the leader in carbonated drinks market.
Pepsi entered Indian market in 1991 and Coke re-entered in 1993.

SEGMENTATION:
The soft drink market can be segmented on the basis of place of consumption and on the basis of
type of products.
The segmentation on the basis of place of consumption divides the market into three parts: On-premise- consumption of soft drinks in. restaurants, railway stations, cinemas etc,
At-home consumption of the soft drink purchased for consumption at home.
The market can also be segmented on the basis of types of products into Cola products and
non-cola products.
Cola products account nearly 62% of the total soft drinks market. The brands that fall in
this category are Pepsi, cola, Thumps Up, Diet Pepsi etc.
Non-cola segment, which constitutes 36%, cam be divide into 4 categories based on the
type of flavour available, namely:
Orange
Cloudy lime
Clear lime
Mango
Orange flavour based soft drinks constitutes around 17% of the market. The segment is largely
dominated by national brands like Fanta of Coca-cola Co. and Mirinda Orange of Pepsi Co. restof the market is in hands of smaller brands like Crush (earlier Cadbury Schweppes and now of
Coca Cola), Gold Spot etc.

Cloudy Lime flavour constitutes 14% of the market and is largely dominated by Limca of Coca
Cola and Miranda Lemon of Pepsi Co.
Clear Lime this segment of the market witnessed good growth initially with all; the players
launching their brands in the segment. But now the growth in the segment has slowed down. The
brands available in this segment are 7 Up , Mountain dew of Pepsi, Sprite of Coca-Cola and
Canada Dry( earlier of Cadbury Schweppes and now of Coca Cola). The segment constitutes
3% of the total soft drinks market.
Mango flavour segment constitutes 2% of the total soft drinks market and it directly competes
with mango based fruit drinks like Fruity. The leading brands in this segment are: Maaza of
Coca Cola and Slice of Pepsi.
There is very thin line of difference between the clear and cloudy lime. The most obvious feature
is that clear lime has to be bottled in green bottles as sunlight harms the drink and changes the
taste.
There are some small local brands at city or regional levels. Most of these are either merging
with two big players (Coca Cola and Pepsi) or they command a very small less than 3% of the
total market in their respective areas.
The soft drink being a FMCG has a wider and scattered market. Thus to enable concentrated
effort of marketing activities in different scattered market, for effectively setting the entire
market is broken down into the following segments.
Route market :
Outlet in this market caters to those people who are engaged in shopping, eating outgoing to
and from work, in amusement center etc.
Home market :
Outlets in this market cater to people buying predominantly for home consumption, either by
case or loose bottles.

At work markets :
Outlets in this market cater to people working in offices, factories etc. an attempt is always
made to make soft drinks readily and conveniently available all day long while people are
actively working.
Analysis and Industry Challenges:
In order to survive in this environment, companies must consider the market trends that will
likely shape the industry over the next few years. This will help soft drink companies to
understand the challenges they will encounter and to turn them into opportunities for process
improvement, enhanced flexibility and, ultimately, greater profitability.
Market trends for the soft drink industry can be summarized by six fundamental themes:
Changing consumer beverage preferences, featuring a shift toward health-oriented
wellness drinks
Growing friction between bottlers and manufacturers in the distribution system
Continually increasing retailer strength
Fierce competition
Complex distribution system composed of multiple sales channels Beverage safety concerns and more-stringent regulations
Consumers turn to wellness and healthy drinks

In much of the developed world, a significant portion of the population is overweight or obese.
This includes two-thirds of Americans and an increasing number of Europeans. Consequently,
many people have started to actively manage their weight and change their lifestyles, a shift that
is reflected in their choices in the beverage aisles:
Demand has increased for beverages that are perceived to be healthy
Energy drink consumption has also climbed, due to the increasingly active lifestyles of
teenagers.
This trend towards healthier drinks has created a number of new categories, and changed
the consumption trends of the beverage industry as a whole.
While previously dominated by carbonated soft drinks, the industry is now more evenly
balanced between carbonates, and product categories with a healthier image, such as
bottled water, energy drinks and juice

As shown in the above hierarchy how a product reaches from the Pepsis plant to the consumer.
I was allotted one of the bottler (Pearl Drinks limited) whose job is to receive the product from
the manufacturing plant and then supply the product to the retailers or consumers via various
methods of transportation. Before reaching to the consumers the beverage is already sold twice
as shown in the above hierarchy. Pepsi uses its own trucks to deliver the beverage to retailers,
which is also a good mode of promotion.

Buying Behavior of soft drink industry:
Soft drinks come under the category of products on impulse. This attitude of impulse
buying is slowly changing to occasion-led buying and also to some extent consumption
through home refrigeration particularly in urban areas.
The market is slowly moving from alcoholic carbonated drinks to fruit based drinks
and also plain bottled water due to lower price and ready availability . Consumers
purchase soft drinks particularly to quench thirst and therefore on travel not having
access to hygienic water reaches out for soft drinks.

Brand awareness plays a vital role in purchase decisions. Availability in the chilled
form also plays a crucial role in purchase decisions. This has made both the companies to
push its sales and to increase its retail distribution by offering Visi coolers to retailers
Why is there no aversion to consumption of soft drinks to any age group, the main
consumers of this market are people in the age group of 30 and below.
Product differentiation is very low, as all the products taste the same. But brand loyalty
is high in the case of kids and people in the age group of 20-30 years.
RETAILERS PERCEPTION:
A survey was conducted to study the retailers views of the present market, future trend and the
consumer behavior patterns. The findings of the survey are as follows:
Retailers stated that the consumers are loyal to the particular segment of the soft drink
i.e. cola, orange or lemon. But as far the loyalty for the brands in each segment is
concerned, it is not very significant.

43% of the retailers surveyed told that insoft drinks advertising is the key component in
driving sales. While 32% stated promotional schemes and 20% brand loyalty as the
reason.
As consumers are not very brand loyal where the purchase of soft drinks is concerned,
the retailer push becomes a critical issue. They usually sell the product in which they
get the maximum benefit. For this, the companies try to offer them higher margins.
While distributors get margin of Rs8-9 per crate (1 crate= 24 bottles) at 3-4% of MRP,
retailers are given a margin of 10-12% of MRP. The retailers are not happy with this, as
the cost of refrigeration is very high for soft drinks . To overcome this problem the
companies are offering visi-coolers schemes to their main retailers.
O bjectives of conducting the above study:-
To know visis condition such as its size, type, maintenance problem: - Company
wanted an accurate database of visis. They were having database but it was not accurate
such as in some outlets Visi is PVC but in record it was GRAVITY. In some outlets Visi

is 300 liters. But it was 200 or 400 Liters in records. In other hand company wanted to
check visis condition like are they having any maintenance problem or not?
To know retailers problem regarding supply, scheme and others: - What types of
problems retailers are facing? It was companys one of the main objective. Are they
getting proper supply or not? Are they getting schemes or not? Suppliers behavior is
perfect or not?
To know about Visi audit (Visi purity, Visi charging, Visi POG): - Company also
wanted to know that are retailers using visis for PepsiCo products or not? Are they using
it for personal use or for keeping other companys products?
To know about Rack audit (rack purity, rack charging): - Company wanted to know
how many retailers is using rack audit norm? It means are they arranging rack in
appropriate manner and filling Visi according to companys policies?
To know about SKU availability: - Company also wanted to know how many retailers
are having full products and in various sizes like Pepsi (200ml. , 300ml. ,1 liter, 2 liters),
Pepsi My Can, Miranda (200ml. , 300ml. ,1 liter, 2 liters), Nimbooz (200ml. , 300ml. ,1
liter, 2 liters),same case in Tropicana, Mountain dew etc.
To know about FMO count (PEPSI, MIRINDA): How much stock retailers are
having of Miranda, Pepsi? Through this company estimates its sales. In it we calculate
no. of bottles like Joshi Cold Drink is having 50 bottles of 500ML, and 15 bottles of 2
liters of Pepsi. In this case I will mention 65 in Pepsi FMO count.

R egular Supply: As the number of outlets in the area was huge in numbers and it was
difficult for one vehicle to cover the both the markets so designed the route for both the areas
and segregated the market according to the demand of the retailers and after calculating the sale
per day. Now 45 shops are being covered by the distributor and rest 51 outlets are being covered
by the companys vehicle.
Distributors entry : Now as the half of the market is being covered by the distributor he has all
varieties of Pepsi is available in the market as he is new in the market so in order to sell more he
will keep all the varieties so ultimately the sale of all the varieties will in balance.
Centralized all the P an Wall a s : As the aquafinas share in the market was just 10% as
compare to Bisleri and Kinley the other brands, so to enter into their mind offered them free
umbrella and started the supply. Now almost all the pan walla of amar colony is selling
aquafinas water.
Entered into new segment : As the share of water was very low as compare to competitors, we
entered into the absolute new segment that is Chemists shop and Amuls shop where in their
demand was nothing and happily selling Aquafina and Nimbooz.
Installed new visis in the market : As the reach was also the problem and many shops werecapable of selling more Pepsi but due to communication gap they were selling less as compare totheir potential so replaced their visis and where new visis required given new visis to increasethe reach.

Finding after Analysis

45/52
Centralization of all Pan Walla of Amar colony to increase the sales of Aquafina
(water).
Regular supply lead to increase in the sales.
4-5 coke monopoly shops are now selling Pepsi.
New eateries like Zaika, North Indian food, New Aggarwal Sweets found out and
supply got started lead to the new scope for Pepsi.
Supply started at Chemist shops.
Division of the route as the companys vehicle was covering two routes so divided
the route, now the supply is being done by the distributor.
Recommendation
First of all company will provide all its dealers and retailers to all sort of promotion
equipment such as glow sign board, banner, rack, freeze, etc. in time so that they increase
their sales which is benefited both retailer as well as company.
Salesman should have good interaction with the dealers, which result Company in
increase in sales. Company executives should visit the counter on weekly basis.
Executives should take the feedback from the dealers about the service of the sales man
and the distributors. Regular visit of technician is required to solve the problems of Freeze (Visi) in the
market at the right time.
The distribution channels need to be improving so that retailer/dealer will get soft drinks.

Promotional advertising must include some Indian stars (film & cricket).
Dealers are the good intermediaries so the company should give more packages to the
dealer, by which they can looks towards the high sales of this particular brand.
Kids constitute the second largest segment of the soft drink market. So, more & more fun
based advertisement for the brands should be necessary. Some life style based
advertisement is also necessary.
There should be more focus on 100% availability so that Pepsi dont lose sales & market
share.
The company should start survey time to time to know the grievances of retailer as wellas consumers.
More & more research should be made to find new segment & more profitable marketfor the product.
CONCLUSION
The project was a great experience for me in order to study the marketing aspects in the world. Itwas a great opportunity for me to apply what I have studied.
This industry is a place where two major players are there in the world. So with one player
makes any changes ultimately the other has to introduce that change willingly or unwillingly.
PepsiCo gave me an opportunity and scope to understand the soft drink industry and itsmarketing structure and distribution channels.

Lot of valuable information regarding the company and also the retailers, has been collected
from the survey, which helped me to understand the real problems faced by the marketers todistribute and also make retailers to sell the companys products in the market.
I understood the difficulties involved in marketing in the present scenario.
The suggestions made to the company were applied for the growth and benefit for the companyin order to increase its market share and to become the market leader in the soft drink industry,because a large number of competitors craving for the same market.
Thus, finally it can be said that the industry needs a lot of channel management activities to doalong with various promotional strategies for the customers. I wish the company achieves its
objectives soon.The strength or the positive side which I noticed during my project work was-
Strong Brand Image- There is a strong brand image of PEPSI among the youngsters as well asother people.
Quality and Taste- PEPSI provides good quality and taste of the products to the customers.
Few grounds on which the brand PEPSI needs to work upon are-
Customer satisfaction- As the most important thing is the satisfaction of the customers hence itneeds to be improved for both retailers and consumers.
