Conclusion
We concluded that despite the fact Coca-cola currently occupies the market leadership position overall but it does not guarantee that the company will sustain its position in the future as well.
In Pakistan as compared to Pepsi, Coca-Cola has less number of consumers as Pepsis market share in Pakistan is approximately 58% where as coke market share is hovering about 32%
Hence the conclusion is that Coca-Cola must enhance factors such as relationship marketing, innovation and technology specially in Pakistan to attain market leader position in this region as well.
