The energy beverage companies are targeting same group of people as Red Bull and it is hard to make significant increase in profit. To make more profit companies should target diverse types of consumers to differentiate your company from the other companies in the same branch. The heavy consumers of energy beverages are consist of males between 12 and 34 ages. In this market is high brand loyalty which means that average consumer is limiting his/her choice to only 1.4 different brands.

All of the flavors remaining were fruit flavored. Of all the fruit flavors, forty linear feet was taken up, or 19% of all of the space. Another way to organize this large space is exactly how this grocery store organized it, by brands. I have already mentioned the ruling brands in the soda industry, Pepsi, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, and then the cheaper “off-brands”. Coca Cola takes up the greatest amount of space, being the most successful in the soda industry.
Sales reps then targeted shops near universities and gyms. Dealing with individual accounts rather than big retailers had the added advantage of being fast. In 2003, an estimated 64% of volume was generated by consumption in bars, clubs and petrol stations—accounting for 79% of the value due to the price premium—while retail outlets made up the remaining 36% of volume. Red Bull was facing strong competition in the retail space, not only from beverage heavyweights such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi, but also from private labels. For example, the retailer Asda (part of Wal-Mart) launched its own energy drink branded Blue Charge in the UK.
This portfolio restructuring initiative was geared to acquire powerful and emerging brands which would bolster PepsiCo’s profits and dominance within the market. The company during this period acquired major brands such as Tropicana, Cracker Jack, SoBe teas, Quaker Oats, etc. This restructuring enabled the company to record annual increases in revenues by 7% and net income of 12% for the period 1998 - 2007. This lead the company in 2007 to devise strategies aimed at sustaining and improving this favorable performance and to combat challenges such as low international profit, changing consumer preference, value chain efficiency and fierce competition.

This benefit will be evident in the distant future as the unsustainable growth in federal debt would be reined in. The federal debt is currently more than 70 percent of GDP and is growing at a pace higher than GDP (Page & Reichling, 2012). Without current sequestration or a similar solution, the United States would become insolvent much sooner. According to a nonpartisan economic study, removing fiscal tightening like sequestration would boost output and employment in the short term. Conversely, the United States’ output and employment would suffer and lead to larger increases in interest rates over the long term (Page & Reichling, 2012).
Even though federal budget constraints was a relevant factor over the past five years, the industry has experienced revenue growth due to strong demand. Growth is anticipated to accelerate in the coming years as freight lines develop larger cargo vessels, which will create the need for investments in dredging services to boost the capacity of ports. A political push to make more funds available for port improvements is also expected to benefit the dredging industry. This would allow investment in better equipment and innovative technology to improve efficiency to meet growing demand. Dredging is the removal of debris and sediment from water bodies, Dredging companies usually charge for this service on the basis of cubic yards of material removed.
Explain. Answer: The strategically relevant components of the global and U.S. beverage industry macro-environment are: Global beverage companies such as Coca Cola and PepsiCo have relied on alternative beverages to sustain in volume growth in mature markets where consumers were reducing their consumption of carbonated soft drinks. Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and other beverage companies have made various attempts at increasing the size of the market for alternative beverages by extending existing product lines and developing altogether new products internationally. The primary concern of most producers of alternative beverages was how to best improve their competitive standing in the market place. The global beverage industry was projected to grow from $1.58 trillion in 2009 to nearly $1.78 trillion in 2014.
April 28, 2011 (Bloomberg) -- PepsiCo Inc., the world’s largest snack-food maker, reported a 27 percent gain in first-quarter sales, bolstered by purchases in international markets. PepsiCo’s sales rose to $11.9 billion, compared with the $11.8 billion average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Excluding items such as integration costs and hedges, profit was 74 cents, compared with the 73-cent analyst average. PepsiCo, led by Chief Executive Officer Indra Nooyi, has developed new flavors to appeal to markets internationally, relying on chip sales overseas to make up for slower beverage sales volumes in North America. Volume in the South American foods business climbed 2 percent.
Market attractiveness of bottled beverage Raising awareness of health and fitness consciousness usually brings new trend in any industry, particularly in the food and beverage market. This is exactly what happened in 2006, where the forecast for global bottled beverage sales were predicted to reach 119 to 125 (billions of litres), 125-132 in 2007 so and so forth (Gamble, 255). This emerging demand of bottled beverage also elevated tough competition in the market between the big four market providers, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Groupe Danone and Nestle. We analyze the attractiveness of the industry by using Porter’s 5-forces framework. Threat of new entrants: Since bottled beverage market is huge specifically in the United States, it would be challenging for a new company to start up fresh since the products and services they have to offer may not be much different than what’s already available in the market.
