Beverage industry is one of the fast growing industries in India .it can be divided
into two sections i.e. carbonated and non-carbonated. The carbonated drinks that
can be further classified into cola, lemon orange, mango and apple segments.
Marketing includes all the activities like promotion, distribution, advertising etc. To
fulfill all the segments of consumers. Marketing is also to convert social needs into
profitable opportunities. So this topic provides all the essentials to theoretical
knowledge with practical knowledge and to inculcate the efficiency. It is also
requirement for the company to improve their service and product quality for
achieving their ultimate goal.
As far as the soft drink market is concerned, it is facing the cut throat competition
because of the availability of a large number of indirect as well as direct
competitors.
Single company offers the soft drink to the market in different taste and flavors. In
this industry entire range of flavors are produced by other competitors also.
More often it becomes impossible to differentiate between the same flavors of two
different brands, when served in plane container, range also. All these factors
together make the situation complicated. Besides both corresponding brands have
the similar price.
The beverage industry consists of two major categories and eight sub-groups. The
non-alcoholic category is comprised of soft drink syrup manufacture; soft drink and
water bottling and canning; fruit juices bottling, canning and boxing; the coffee
industry and the tea industry. Alcoholic beverage categories include distilled spirits,
wine and brewing.
Although many of these beverages, including beer, wine and tea, have been around
for thousands of years, the industry has developed only over the past few centuries.
Since the early 1900s beverage companies have evolved from regional firms that
mainly produced goods for local markets, to today’s corporate giants that make
products for international markets. This shift began when companies in this
manufacturing sector adopted mass production techniques that let them expand. Also
during this time period there were advances in product packaging and processes that
greatly increased product shelf life. Air-tight containers for tea prevented absorption
of moisture, which is the principle cause of loss of flavour. In addition, the advent of
refrigeration equipment enabled lager beers to be brewed during the summer months.
Economic importance
The beverage industry employs several million people worldwide, and each type of
beverage grosses billions of dollars in revenue each year. Indeed, in several small,
developing countries, the production of coffee is the major support of the entire
economy.
Though the ingredients and production of beverages vary, generally the characteristics
of those employed in this industry have many commonalties. The process of harvesting
raw materials, whether they be coffee beans, barley, hops or grapes, employs low-
income, unskilled individuals or families. In addition to being their main source of
income, the harvest determines a large part of their culture and lifestyle.
The beverage industry for the most part distributes its products to wholesalers using
common carriers. However, soft drink manufacturers usually employ drivers to deliver
their products directly to individual retailers. These drivers-salesworkers account for
about one-seventh of the workers in the soft drink industry.
The more health-conscious atmosphere in Europe and North America in the 1990s has
led to a flat market in the alcoholic beverage industry, with demand shifting to non-
alcoholic beverages. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, however, are
expanding considerably in developing nations in Asia, South America and to some
extent Africa. Because of this expansion, numerous local jobs are being created to meet
production and distribution needs.
3. concentrate manufacturing
Each of these processes has safety hazards that must be evaluated and controlled. Water
is a very important ingredient in the concentrate and it must have excellent quality.
Each concentrate plant treats water until it reaches the desired quality and is free from
micro-organisms. Water treatment is monitored during all stages.
When the plant receives the compounding ingredients, inspection, sampling and
analysing of the ingredients in the quality-control department are begun. Only materials
that have passed the tests will be used in the concentrate manufacturing process. Some
of the raw materials are received in tank trucks and require special handling. Also,
packaging material is received, evaluated and analysed in the same way as the raw
materials.
During the manufacturing of concentrate, treated water and liquid and solid ingredients
are pumped into stainless-steel tanks, where they are mixed, homogenized and/or
extracted in accordance with the manufacturing instructions. The tanks have capacities
of 50 gallons, 10,000 gallons and even more. These tanks are completely clean and
sanitized at the time of mixing.
Once the concentrate is manufactured, the filling stage is started. All the products are
piped into the filling room. Filling machines are strictly cleaned and sanitized before
the filling process starts. Most of the filling machines are dedicated to specific container
sizes. The product is kept inside pipes and tanks at times during the filling process in
order to avoid contamination. Each container should be labelled with the product name
and handling hazards (if necessary). Full containers are moved by conveyors to the
packaging area. Containers are placed on pallets and wrapped in plastic or tied before
they are stored. Besides the concentrates, additives to be used in the preparation of
carbonated soft drinks are packed. Many of these additives are packed in plastic bags
and placed in boxes.
Once at the warehouse, the products are divided and prepared to be sent to the different
bottling companies. These products should be labelled following all government
regulations. If products are going to another country, the product must be labelled in
accordance with the other country’s labelling requirements.
In most established markets around the world, soft drinks now rank first among
manufactured beverages, surpassing even milk and coffee in terms of per capita
consumption.
Including ready-to-drink, packaged products and bulk mixes for fountain dispensing,
soft drinks are available in almost every conceivable size and flavour and in virtually
every channel of retail distribution. Complementing this universal availability, much of
the soft drink category’s growth can be attributed to convenient packaging. As
consumers have become increasingly mobile, they have opted for easier-to-carry
packaged goods. With the advent of the aluminium can and, more recently, the
resealable plastic bottle, soft drink packaging has become lighter and more portable.
As early as the 1960s, most bottlers were producing beverages through machinery that
ran at 150 bottles per minute. As product demand has continued to skyrocket, soft drink
manufacturers have shifted to faster machinery. Thanks to advances in production
technology, filling lines now are able to run in excess of 1,200 containers per minute,
with minimal downtime except for product or flavour changes. This highly automated
environment has allowed soft drink manufacturers to reduce the number of employees
required to operate the lines. Still, as production efficiencies have risen dramatically,
plant safety has remained an ever-important consideration.
Soft drink bottling or manufacturing involves five major processes, each with its own
safety issues that must be evaluated and controlled:
1. treating water
2. compounding ingredients
3. carbonating product
4. filling product
5. packaging.
Beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, are normally produced under strict
sanitary guidelines set by governmental regulations. To meet these guidelines,
equipment within beverage plants is constantly cleaned and disinfected with harsh
cleaning agents. The copious use of cleaning agents can, in itself, pose health problems
to the workers exposed to them in their job duties. Skin and eye contact with the caustic
cleansers can cause severe dermatitis. Another concern is that inhalation of the fumes
or spray produced when using the cleansers may cause damage to the lungs, nose,
mouth or throat. Water or other liquids are commonly found in and around production,
making slips and falls a common injury and causing many other injuries simply due to
poor traction.
Electrical systems in any industry possess a high degree of potential injury. When
mixed with the ever present water in beverage manufacturing, the threat of electrocution
becomes extreme. Electrical systems within beverage plants are constantly being
reworked as the industry rapidly modernizes with new high-speed equipment that
results in increasing exposure.
The manufacturing process in the beverage industry entails the movement of massive
quantities of raw materials in bags and barrels, on wooden and plastic pallets; loads of
empty bottles and cans; and finished product in a variety of containers. Beverages,
being liquid, are naturally heavy. Repetitive-motion injuries due to sorting and
inspection of glass bottles and some packaging operations occur frequently. This
continuous movement of light and heavy objects presents ergonomic challenges for the
beverage industry as well as other industries. The incidence of soft tissue sprain and
strain injuries in the United States has risen nearly 400% since 1980, for example.
Nations are in different stages of progress in determining preventive measures to reduce
these types of injuries.
Modern mechanized equipment has drastically reduced the number of personnel needed
to operate the bottling and canning lines, which in itself has reduced the exposure to
injury. However, the high-speed conveyers and automatic palletizing and de-palletizing
equipment can cause serious, although less frequent, injuries. Personnel tempted to
reach into a moving conveyor to put a bottle or can upright can get clothing caught and
be dragged into the mechanism. Palletizers and depalletizers can become jammed, and
a worker can suffer broken limbs trying to clear the machines.
Modern high-speed equipment has, in most cases, led to increased noise levels,
especially at the higher frequencies. Hearing loss caused by workplace noise is
classified as a disease, since it occurs insidiously over time and is irreversible. Incidence
rates involving hearing loss are increasing. Engineering controls to reduce the noise
levels are being tested and used, but enforcement of the wearing of standard hearing
protection is still the preferred method used by most employers. New on the horizon is
the investigation of the stress on workers due to the combination of high noise levels,
24-hour schedules and the tempo of work.
Confined spaces, such as tanks, casks, vats, wastewater pits and storage or mixing
vessels used commonly in beverage manufacturing facilities, have the potential of
causing catastrophic injuries. This issue has not received a lot of attention by beverage
industry management because most vessels are considered to be “clean” and mishaps
occur so infrequently. Although injuries in the types of vessels used by beverage plants
are rare, a serious incident can occur due to the introduction of hazardous materials
during cleaning operations or from atmospheric abnormalities, potentially resulting in
a near or actual fatality. (See the box on confined spaces.)
Most beverage manufacturing facilities have raw material and finished product storage
areas. Self-propelled material-handling equipment poses as serious a threat in a
production plant as in any warehouse. Injuries involving fork-lift trucks and similar
equipment often result in crushing injuries to pedestrian personnel or to the operator if
the vehicle overturns. Production plants often entail cramped conditions as expansion
of production capability in existing facilities takes place. These cramped conditions are
often conducive to a serious accident involving material-handling equipment.
Beverage production usually requires pure water and refrigeration systems. Chemicals
used most commonly to satisfy these requirements are chlorine and liquid anhydrous
ammonia, respectively, and both are considered extremely hazardous substances.
Chlorine is often purchased and stored in pressurized metal cylinders of various sizes.
Injuries can occur to personnel during changeover from one cylinder to another or from
a leaking or defective valve. An accidental release of anhydrous ammonia can cause
burns to the skin and respiratory system on contact. A large, uncontrolled release of
anhydrous ammonia can result in air concentrations high enough to explode violently.
Emergency systems to detect leaks and automatic ventilation and shut down equipment
are used frequently, along with evacuation and response procedures. Chlorine and
anhydrous ammonia are chemicals that have strong identifiable odours and are easily
detectable in the air. They are considered to have strong warning properties to alert
workers of their presence.
Carbon dioxide, most commonly used for pressurization and carbonation, and carbon
monoxide, emitted by internal combustion engines, are present in most beverage plants.
Beverage filler rooms are usually the most prone to having high levels of carbon
dioxide, especially during product changeover procedures. Beverage companies have
been increasing the assortment of products offered to the public, so these changeovers
occur more frequently, increasing the need for ventilation to exhaust the carbon dioxide.
Carbon monoxide can be present if fork-lifts or similar equipment are used. A
dangerous concentration can accumulate if engines are not operating within
manufacturers’ specifications.
Employment in the beverage industry is often seasonal. This is more common in areas
of the world with distinct seasons and in northern climates. A combination of
worldwide manufacturing trends such as just-in-time inventory control and the use of
contract and temporary personnel can have a great impact on safety and health. Often
workers employed for short periods of time are not afforded the same amount of safety-
related training as permanent employees. In some cases, resultant costs associated with
injuries sustained by temporary personnel are not borne by the employer but by an
agency supplying the worker to the employer. This has created an apparent “win-win”
situation for the employer and the opposite effect on the workers employed in positions
such as these. More enlightened governments, employers and trade associations are
beginning to look closely at this growing problem and are working on methods to
improve the amount and quality of safety training given to workers in this category.
Environmental concerns are not often associated with beverage production, since it is
not thought of as a “smokestack industry”. Excluding an accidental release of a
hazardous chemical such as anhydrous ammonia or chlorine, the main discharge from
beverage production is wastewater. Usually this wastewater is treated prior to entry into
the waste stream, so it is rare that a problem occurs. Occasionally a bad batch of product
has to be discarded, which, depending on the ingredients involved, may have to be
transported away for treatment or greatly diluted before release into the waste system.
A large quantity of acidic beverage finding its way into a stream or lake can cause large
fish kills and must be avoided.
The increasing use of chemical additives for enhancing flavour, extending shelf life or
as a substitute sweetener has raised public health concerns. Some chemicals used as
artificial sweeteners are prohibited in some countries because they have been found to
be carcinogenic. Most, however, present no apparent health risk to the public. The
handling of these raw chemicals and their presence in the workplace has not been
studied in enough depth to determine if there are worker exposure risks.

MAJOR COMPETITOR
PEPSICO
COMPANY PROFILE
PepsiCo is one of the largest companies there is that is engaged in the food,
beverage, and snack industries. Their address is 700 Anderson Hill Road,
Purchase, N.Y. 10577. Their phone number is 914-253-2000 and their fax
number is 914-253-2070. Their stock symbol is PEP and they are listed on the
NYSE. The company URL is www.pepsico.com.
Business Summary: PepsiCo, Inc. is engaged in the snack food, soft drink, juice,
and fast food franchise businesses. The Company, through its subsidiaries,
markets, sells and distributes various snacks in the United States and
internationally, manufactures concentrates of Pepsi, Mountain Dew and other
brands for sale to franchised bottlers in the United States and international
markets and produces, markets, sells and distributes juices under several
Tropicana trademarks in the United States and internationally. PepsiCo’s
domestic snack food business is conducted by Frito-Lay North America, and its
international snack food business is conducted through Frito-Lay International.
The Company's soft drink business operates as the Pepsi-Cola Company and is
comprised of two business units, Pepsi-Cola North America (PCNA) and Pepsi-
Cola International (PCI). In December 2000, the Company announced an
agreement under which a subsidiary of PepsiCo will merge with The Quaker
Oats Company, and Quaker will become a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo.
Quaker is a large worldwide marketer of foods and beverages. It manufactures
and markets Gatorade thirst quencher, along with hot cereals, pancake syrups,
grain-based snacks, cornmeal, hominy grits and value-added rice products.
The proposed merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including approval
by shareholders of both companies and regulatory approvals. The transaction is
expected to close in the first half of 2001. PepsiCo also operates several food
franchises including Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell.
Financial Summary: PepsiCo, Inc. manufactures markets and sells soft drinks
and concentrates (Pepsi-Cola, Mountain Dew, Slice, etc.), snack foods (Frito-
Lay) and Tropicana branded juices. For the 12 weeks ended 3/24/01, net sales
increased 8% to $4.54 billion. Net income increased 18% to $498 million.
Revenues benefited from volume gains across all divisions. Net income also
reflects an increased gross profit due to higher effective net pricing.
The business began to grow, and on June 16, 1903, "Pepsi-Cola" was officially
registered with the U.S. Patent Office. That year, Caleb sold 7,968 gallons of syrup,
using the theme line "Exhilarating, Invigorating, Aids Digestion." He also began
awarding franchises to bottle Pepsi to independent investors, whose number grew from
just two in 1905, in the cities of Charlotte and Durham, North Carolina, to 15 the
following year, and 40 by 1907.By the end of 1910, there were Pepsi-Cola franchises
in 24 states. Pepsi-Cola's first bottling line resulted from some less-than-sophisticated
engineering in the back room of Caleb's pharmacy. Growth was phenomenal, and in
1909 Caleb erected a headquarters so spectacular that the town of New Bern pictured it
on a postcard. Famous racing car driver Barney Oldfield endorsed Pepsi in newspaper
ads as "A bully drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race." The
previous year, Pepsi had been one of the first companies in the United States to switch
from horse-drawn transport to motor vehicles, and Caleb's business expertise captured
widespread attention. He was even mentioned as a possible candidate for Governor. A
1913 editorial in the Greensboro Patriot praised him for his "keen and energetic business
sense." Only two plants remained open. It wasn't until a successful candy manufacturer,
Charles G. Guth, appeared on the scene that the future of Pepsi-Cola was assured. Guth
was president of Loft Incorporated, a large chain of candy stores and soda fountains
along the eastern seaboard. He saw Pepsi-Cola as an opportunity to discontinue an
unsatisfactory business relationship with the Coca-Cola Company, and at the same time
to add an attractive drawing card to Loft's soda fountains. He was right. After five
owners and 15 unprofitable years, Pepsi-Cola was once again a thriving national brand.
Milestone of company
1898 Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North Carolina, pharmacist, renames "Brad's
Drink," a carbonated soft drink he created to serve his drugstore's fountain customers.
The new name, Pepsi-Cola, is derived from two of the principal ingredients, pepsin
and kola nuts. It is first used on August 28.
1902 Bradham applies to the U.S. Patent Office for a trademark for the Pepsi-Cola name.
1903 In keeping with its origin as a pharmacist's concoction, Bradham's advertising
praises his drink as "Exhilarating, invigorating, aids digestion."
1905 A new logo appears, the first change from the original created in 1898.
1906 The logo is redesigned and a new : "The original pure food drink."
1907 The Pepsi trademark is registered in Mexico.
1909 Automobile racing pioneer Barney Oldfield becomes Pepsi's first celebrity
endorser when he appears in newspaper ads describing Pepsi-Cola as "A bully
drink...refreshing, invigorating, a fine bracer before a race." The theme "Delicious
and Healthful" appears, and will be used intermittently over the next two decades.
1920 Pepsi appeals to consumers with, "Drink Pepsi-Cola. It will satisfy you."
1932 The trademark is registered in Argentina.
1934 Pepsi begins selling a 12-ounce bottle for five cents, the same price charged
by its competitors for six ounces.
1938 The trademark is registered in the Soviet Union.
1939 A newspaper cartoon strip, "Pepsi & Pete," introduces the theme "Twice as
Much for a Nickel" to increase consumer awareness of Pepsi's value advantage.
1940 Pepsi makes advertising history with the first advertising jingle ever broadcast
nationwide. "Nickel, Nickel" will eventually become a hit record and will be
translated into 55 languages. A new, more modern logo is adopted.
1941 In support of America's war effort, Pepsi changes the color of its bottle crowns
to red, white and blue. A Pepsi canteen in Times Square, New York, operates
throughout the war, enabling more than a million families to record messages for
armed services personnel overseas.
1943 The "Twice as Much" advertising strategy expands to include the theme,
"Bigger Drink, Better Taste."
1949 "Why take less when Pepsi's best?" is added to "Twice as Much" advertising.
1950 "More Bounce to the Ounce" becomes Pepsi's new theme as changing soft
drink economics force Pepsi to raise prices to competitive levels. The logo is again
updated.
1953 Americans become more weight conscious, and a new strategy based on
Pepsi's lower caloric content is implemented with "The Light Refreshment"
campaign.
1954 "The Light Refreshment" evolves to incorporate "Refreshing without
Filling."
1958 Pepsi struggles to enhance its brand image. Sometimes referred to as "the
kitchen cola," as a consequence of its long-time positioning as a bargain brand,
Pepsi now identifies itself with young, fashionable consumers with the "Be
Sociable, Have a Pepsi" theme. A distinctive "swirl" bottle replaces Pepsi's
earlier straight-sided bottle.
1959 Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev and U.S. Vice-President Richard Nixon
meet in the soon-to-be-famous "kitchen debate" at an international trade fair.
The meeting, over Pepsi, is photo-captioned in the U.S. as "Khrushchev Gets
Sociable."
1961 Pepsi further refines its target audience, recognizing the increasing
importance of the younger, post-war generation. "Now its Pepsi, for those who
think Young" defines youth as a state of mind as much as a chronological age,
maintaining the brand's appeal to all market segments.
1963 In one of the most significant demographic events in commercial history,
the post-war baby boom emerges as a social and marketplace phenomenon.
Pepsi recognizes the change, and positions Pepsi as the brand belonging to the
new generation-The Pepsi Generation. "Come alive! You're in the Pepsi
Generation" makes advertising history. It is the first time a product is identified,
not so much by its attributes, as by its consumers' lifestyles and attitudes.
1964 A new product, Diet Pepsi, is introduced into Pepsi-Cola advertising.
1966 Diet Pepsi's first independent campaign, "Girl watchers," focuses on the
cosmetic benefits of the low-calorie cola. The "Girl watchers" musical theme
becomes a Top 40 hit. Advertising for another new product, Mountain Dew, a
regional brand acquired in 1964, airs for the first time, built around the
instantly recognizable tag line, "Ya-Hoo, Mountain Dew!"
1967 When research indicates that consumers place a premium on Pepsi's
superior taste when chilled, "Taste that beats the others cold. Pepsi pours it on"
emphasizes Pepsi's product superiority. The campaign, while product-oriented,
adheres closely to the energetic, youthful, lifestyle imagery established in the
initial Pepsi Generation campaign.
1969 "You've got a lot to live. Pepsi's got a lot to give" marks a shift in Pepsi
Generation advertising strategy. Youth and lifestyle are still the campaign's
driving forces, but with "Live/Give," a new awareness and a reflection of
contemporary events and mood become integral parts of the advertising's
texture.
1973 Pepsi Generation advertising continues to evolve. "Join the Pepsi
PeopleFeeling' Free" captures the mood of a nation involved in massive social
and political change. It pictures us the way we are-one people, but many
personalities.
1975 The Pepsi Challenge, a landmark marketing strategy, convinces millions
of consumers that Pepsi's taste is superior.
1976 "Have a Pepsi Day" is the Pepsi Generation's upbeat reflection of an
improving national mood. "Puppies," a 30-second snapshot of an encounter
between a very small boy and some even smaller dogs, becomes an instant
commercial classic.
1979 With the end of the '70s comes the end of a national malaise. Patriotism
has been restored by an exuberant celebration of the U.S. bicentennial, and
Americans are looking to the future with renewed optimism. "Catch that Pepsi
Spirit!" catches the mood and the Pepsi Generation carries it forward into the
'80s.
1982 With all the evidence showing that Pepsi's taste is superior, the only
question remaining is how to add that message to Pepsi Generation advertising.
The answer? "Pepsi's got your Taste for Life!" a triumphant celebration of great
times and great taste. 1991 "You got the Right one Baby" is modified to "You
got the Right one Baby, Uh-Huh!" The "Uh-Huh Girls" join Ray Charles as
back-up singers and a campaign soon to become the most popular advertising in
America is on its way. Supermodel Cindy Crawford stars in an award-winning
commercial made to introduce Pepsi's updated logo and package graphics.
1993 "Be Young, Have fun, Drink Pepsi" advertising starring basketball
superstar Shaquille O'Neal is rated as best in U.S.
1994 New advertising introducing Diet Pepsi's freshness dating initiative
features Pepsi CEO Craig Weatherup explaining the relationship between
freshness and superior taste to consumers.
1995 In a new campaign, the company declares "Nothing else is a Pepsi" and
takes top honors in the year's national advertising championship.

Latest Acquisitions
In 2019 PepsiCo sued four small farmers in India US$142,000 each for growing a type of
potato it says it owns. A number of Farmers' associations are requesting that the government
get involved in the case stating that Pepsi is attempting to intimidate people. After pressure
from the public as well as state and national governments, PepsiCo withdrew the lawsuit on
May 2, 2019.
On October 3, 2019, PepsiCo announced that they will leave Indonesia after terminating their
partnership with local distributor PT Anugerah Indofood Barokah Makmur (AIBM). Both
companies stopped production of PepsiCo products on October 10. This has resulted
in KFC and Pizza Hut chains in the country to switch to Coca-Cola products. On December 2,
2019, PepsiCo acquired the snacks brand, BFY Brands, who are going to be folded into the
Frito-Lay division.
