    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    Soft Drinks were common preference among all the individuals, irrespective of their age

    groups as it had great brand value and great advertisement.

    Market Research is based on some underlying parameters like:

    Changing consumption pattern

    Advertisements

    Taste

    Status consciousness

    Varying lifestyle

    The study starts with determining the major players in the soft drinks, their overall

    consumption pattern among the people and ends up with the conclusion as per the state of

    mind of the average rational human being.

    Consumer preferences are changing towards healthier food, and thus such a trend will carry

    on for some time to come. In the soft drinks market of late, most recent new products

    launched have been focused on the health benefits of the soft drinks, like pomegranate

    juices, calcium-fortified bottled water and a series of reduced-sugar alternatives, with such

    features not previously so readily available to or heavily promoted at the target audience.

    INDUSTRIAL PROFILE

    The soft-drink industry comprises companies that manufacture nonalcoholic beverages and

    carbonated mineral waters or concentrates and syrups for the manufacture of carbonated

    beverages. Naturally occurring bubbling or sparkling mineral waters have been popular for

    thousands of years: the ancient Greeks believed that such waters had medicinal properties

    and bathed in them regularly; the Romans established resorts around mineral springs

    throughout Europe. In the 1500s the village of Spa in Belgium became famous for its waters,

    which by the early 1600s were sold, in bottles, as far away as London, Eng.

    Development of the first man-made sparkling or carbonated water is credited to Joseph

    Priestley, the British scientist who discovered oxygen. In 1772 he invented a method of

    "pushing" carbon dioxide into water by dissolving it under pressure, thus creating fairly

    long-lasting bubbles. The technique led to development of the soft-drink industry. By the

    beginning of the 19th century, carbonated water was being made commercially in France

    and North America; shortly thereafter, flavours (normally fruit concentrates) were added to

    enliven the taste. In the 1820s, small carbonated bottling operations were established in

    Canada, producing carbonated drinks in refillable bottles which were merchandised as

    medicinal elixirs or tonics. Most soft drinks are still carbonated to give drinks a "tangy bite"

  • 7/28/2019 chirag research project improve.doc

    7/44

    and to stimulate the tongue. Furthermore, because scent is an important part of taste, the

    flavours carried as vapours in the bubbles enhance taste.

    The principle of "pushing" carbon dioxide is still used, but now the water is first purified in

    a process known as "polishing." Cooled carbon dioxide is then injected at pressures of 275-

    550 kilopascals. Some of the early drinks bottled in Canada were called Birch Beer, Ginger

    Beer, Sarsaparilla, Sour Lemon, None-Such Soda Water and Cream Soda. The first

    carbonated beverage or "pop" bottles were sealed with corks held tightly in place with a wire

    binding. Because they had to be stored neck down so that the cork would not dry and allow

    the carbonation to leak away, they were manufactured with rounded bottoms. By the mid-

    1800s, soft drinks sold in Canada were packaged in 8-ounce (227.2 ml) round-bottom bottles

    for about 25 cents a dozen, except ginger beer, which was sold in draught form from wooden

    kegs. Wired cork closures were used until about 1884 with Codd's Patented Globe Stoppers

    (25 types in all). Such closures were replaced by the Hutcheson Spring Stopper. The crown

    cap was introduced around 1905 and improved versions are still widely used, although they

    are gradually being replaced, especially on larger containers, with reclosable screw caps.

    Other packaging innovations since the mid-1960s include canned carbonated beverages,

    nonreturnable glass bottles and containers made from rigid plastics. However, an effort isbeing made, often through provincial legislation, to increase the use of returnable glass

    containers.

    In the industry's early years the number of carbonated-beverage plants increased steadily,

    most serving small regional markets. In 1929 the industry was made up of 345 production

    plants and the value of shipments reached $12.3 million. By 1960 the number of plants had

    increased to 502 and the value of sales to $172.7 million. Subsequently, consolidation

    began, prompted by improved production, packaging and distribution facilities. By 1973,

    337 plants were in production and the value of shipments was $484 million. In 1985, with

    sales of about $1.8 billion, the industry had 187 plants in production: Newfoundland had 3;

    PEI, 1; Nova Scotia, 7; New Brunswick, 8; Qubec, 66; Ontario, 58; Manitoba, 7;

    Saskatchewan, 10; Alberta, 13; and BC, 14. Production volume has also increased

    dramatically: in 1939, soft-drink bottlers produced about 162 million litres of carbonated

    beverages; by 1967, production passed 758 million litres; in 1986, shipments were estimated

    at over 2.1 billion litres; and in 1998 that figure rose to 3.5 billion litres.

    The industry is regulated by both federal and provincial agencies, 3 of the most important

    being CONSUMER AND CORPORATE AFFAIRS (responsible for the Consumer

    Packaging and Labelling Act), HEALTH CANADA(which administers the Food and Drugs

    Act) and Environment Canada (which focuses on environmental matters). The industry isrepresented by the Canadian Soft Drink Association in Toronto and by several provincial

    associations.

    The introduction of diet carbonated beverages has changed the industry's profile. Several

    years ago, in response to increasing consumer diet consciousness, the industry introduced

    the first successful sugar-free diet drinks using the artificial sweetener cyclamate. But

    questions were raised about the safety of this additive and, based on existing scientific data,

    Health Canada banned its use in Canadian commercial FOODS AND BEVERAGES. This

    decision, estimated to have cost the industry more than $15 million, was a setback to diet-

    drink development. The industry turned to saccharin, but this too was eventually banned.

    Now, a new sugar-free additive, aspartame, has been approved for use in diet soft drinks,

    and the cyclamate/saccharin situation is not expected to recur because aspartame consists of

    amino acids, which occur naturally. Aspartame-sweetened diet drinks have had a dramatic

    effect on the Canadian carbonated-beverage industry. Just before the saccharin ban in 1977,

    diet drinks accounted for about 10% of the soft-drink market; following the ban the diet

    share dropped to about 2%, consisting of beverages partially sweetened with small amounts

    of sugar. In 1982, the first full year that aspartame was used in Canada, diet drinks increased

    by 15.2% of total soft-drink sales, while the total soft-drink industry grew 8%. In 1987 total

    soft-drink sales increased 5.3% over 1986, while diet soft-drink sales increased by 10.7%.

    This single development has encouraged strong growth in the industry.

    Pepsi and coca-cola dominating the market. The entire part of the drink is based on its

    artificial flavors and sweetening agents as no natural juice is used.

    MARKET

    Cola products account for nearly 61-62% of the total soft drinks market.

    Two global majors Pepsi and coke dominate the soft drink market.

    NCAER survey says 91% of soft drink in the country is in the lower, lower middle

    and upper middle class people.

    The market is worth around Rs.5000 crores with growth rate of around 10-15%.

    37/44

    LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

    The study was confined to University Campus MDU Rohtak only.

    Chances of some biasness could not be eliminated.

    Youth are assumed to be between the age 15 to 25

    Time was the major constrain. Only limited sample size (60) was

    possible for such a vast research on such a period of time .i.e. one

    month

    Interaction with the respondents was also limited due to their busy

    work.

    Due to the changing life style and preferences, it was not

    necessary that they will consume same soft drink every time.

    There was a chance that respondent will make assumptions while

    filling the questionnaire.
