INTRODUCTION
Energy drinks have now become the fastest growing sector within the beverage industry. Energy
drinks are expected to top coke and pepsi sales in the next 10 years. However, there has always
been a health concern over the market leading brands because of their high sugar and caffeine
content.
Red Bull is the industry leader. Red Bull has already occupied a giant market share worldwide
(60% by volume) in energy drink segment. In India, the consumer acceptance growth rate of red
bull is significantly less in comparison with the market share that it has already gained globally
specifically in European and US markets. The positioning of red bull in Indian markets is limited
to the youth especially for BPO people within age limit of 19-28 years.
The research has been conducted on the basis of identifying the reason for limited acceptance for
this brand and exploring the possibility of increasing consumerization level in India for this
brand. Hence the problem statement of the project is: To identify and analyze the reason offailure of red bull energy drink promotion in Indian market and possibility to increase consumer
preference.
When conducting a research study, the process includes a progression of related steps leading to
the final results. While not always linear, the process includes the following steps in this general
order. The questions listed below need to be considered when initiating the research process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Identifying the Need/Problem
Identifying the need or essentially the reason for conducting research is the key driver for the
rest of the process. The reason or problem initially identified for the research may end up tobe different once this question is reviewed and discussed.
What do you want to know? What problem will the research address, or what need is to be satisfied? How will the research relate to or support specific organizational, operational or
marketing goals?
Energy Drinks: Problem Statement
Sale of energy drink in India not as competitive as international counterparts.
Research ObjectivesAfter detailed review of the research following objectives are to be determined:
i. To understand and identify the energy drink market in India.ii. To understand consumer preference and their consuming habits.
iii. To analyze the market opportunities and drawbacks.

2. Selecting a Research Professional
Once it is decided to proceed with a research project, who will do it is the next question.
Who will conduct the research? Is the selection process sole source or competitive? Do you need to develop and distribute a Request for Proposal (RFP)? Do you want a proposal for a specific research project or rather only gather
qualifications from a number of suppliers (for future reference or RFP)?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------3. Choosing the Appropriate Methodology
This is typically determined by the research professional after discussions to identify thespecific needs the research is to address. It may entail one or a combination of
approaches e-mail/Internet survey telephone on-site intercept one-on-one in-depth interviews focus groups secondary research (from existing resources) Energy Drinks:
Research design
The method used is basic research method (exploratory)
Data collection method: The respondents were asked to fill an online questionnaire
Data collection place: Google drive was chosen to upload the questionnaire through whichlink was generated and forwarded to various respondents. Thus convenient sampling is used
to get the responses.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Developing the survey instrument
What and how many questions are to be asked? Who is to be asked? Survey format; e.g. paper and pencil, hand-held computer, etc. Energy Drinks:Sample Design

Sampling Method- The sampling method used is stratified sampling (probability sampling
method). As each group has small variation within itself but there is significant variation
between different stratas (groups).
Sample size- As 20-24 crore (source- Business Hindu Line) people drink energy drink in
India. To determine the sample size we have conducted pilot study of 18 respondents. We
found that out of 18 respondents, 3 respondents prefer to have energy drink and 15 people donot prefer to have energy drinks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. Conducting the research
This is the research professionals responsibility. An understanding of the interviewingprocess and timing should be clearly delineated within the Proposal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6. Tabulating and analyzing the results
After the survey response data are collected they are input into a computer andtabulated into an organized detailed table format. The research professional shoulddiscuss various ways to segment, i.e., cross-tabulate the data tables.
The written analysis, performed by the research professional, should be rather detailedand address the initial purpose and goals for the research study. The format should be
specified in the project Proposal.

7. Presenting the results...the facts (and a few other points)
An in-person presentation may be part of the project proposal. The client and
researcher should work together to determine the content, format, timing etc.
Energy Drink:Energy drink market in India: it was found that only 23% of the respondents consume energy drink and awareness
level is also very less at around 4% of the total population.
Survey result revealed that energy drink segment in Indian market is driven byapproximately 66% of male consumers though the awareness level is almost same in
both the cases.
It could be identified that age group2025 and 2530 respondents having incomerange 3-5 lacs or above are most potential buyer and can be considered as targetmarket for positioning any new brand or vice versa.
Red Bull market in India:
It was clearly observed that the preference for red bull energy drink is predominantover other brands.
Though Red Bull is market leader, its awareness among people is still less. 32%population never heard about it.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8. Implementation
how can the findings and results be applied to help meet your goals?
Energy Drinks:Recommendations:
Awareness among the people need to be increased to promote energy drink byintroducing proper marketing mix strategy.
An integrated marketing is carried out would minimize the illusion among potentialbuyers about the adverse effect of energy drink on health.
Aggressive marketing strategy if adopted could benefit the placing of brand image inconsumer mind particularly the target group age 20-39 years with an income of 3 lac
plus.
Price can be reduced further to stimulate more buying tendency.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
