Summary
Figure 8: Forces driving competition in the energy drinks market in India, 2015
The Indian energy drinks market is highly concentrated, with the top four leading players accounting for 94.9% of the
market’s value, indicating greater levels of rivalry between players.
Larger retailers, such as hypermarkets and supermarkets, can make large purchases and negotiate on price with
manufacturers, boosting buyer power. Retailers are unlikely to be swayed by brand loyalty, but they will have to stock
brands preferred by consumers. The threat of new entrants is moderate due to fair capital investments and the presence
of well-established brands. Substitutes for energy drinks include protein shakes, sports drinks, smoothies and other fresh
products, which pose a moderate threat. High fixed costs and exit barriers intensify rivalry in the market.
The main distribution channels for the energy drinks market are on-trade outlets, which account for 41.6% of the total
market value; convenience stores are also significant. Thus, the size of the average buyer is large, which enhances their
negotiating position and therefore increases buyer power. Large retailers, such as supermarkets, can make large
purchases and negotiate on price with manufacturers, boosting buyer power.
Most raw materials are readily sourced from multiple suppliers, although their prices may fluctuate in response to supply
and demand from other product manufacturers. Market entry is relatively easy in principle, although the strong brands
and established distribution systems of the market leaders may be difficult for a new entrant to compete with. There are
many potential substitutes, which pose a moderate level of indirect competition for energy drinks; however, the leading
manufacturers often produce the substitutes as well, limiting their impact. Overall, buyer power is assessed as strong.
The primary inputs for energy drinks manufacturers include caffeine, guarana, taurine, ginseng, flavorings, a range of
natural and synthetic sweeteners such as corn syrup.
Some of these commodities, although available from several sources, are subject to price fluctuations. Others (e.g.
guarana) are provided by only one or two major suppliers. However, even in these cases, there are usually substitutes
available. For example, if guarana becomes expensive or unobtainable then it can be substituted by taurine and other
similar products.
The power of packaging manufacturers is growing since there is a growing demand for more innovative and
environmentally friendly packaging.
The Indian energy drinks market experienced rapid and strong market growth in recent years. This will tend to encourage
newcomers. Large players like Red Bull and Monster, dominate the market. The top four players, together generating
94.9% of the total market sales value, wield significant power and benefit from scale economies, strong brands, and a
diverse range of products. Private labels also greatly influence the competitive environment.
Players in the energy drinks market can try to distinguish their products to some extent by stressing their health benefits
and taste. Although it would be difficult for a new entrant to compete with the brand strength and reach of existing
players, it may be possible to achieve small-scale success stressing a unique production method or nutritional benefits.
Even if a new player opts for a business model in which much of the production process is performed by bottling partners
under license, there will still be a need to invest in manufacturing capacity in order to produce the concentrates. This will
generally be fairly capital-intensive and can restrict market entry. However, market niches can be exploited by new
entrants. Some of the larger players have already done this by catering for local tastes. Additionally, changing consumer
preferences cause a shift towards health-oriented wellness drinks.
Government regulation affects several aspects of energy drinks manufacturing. For example, in most countries there are
requirements for food and drink to be prepared in hygienic conditions. Specific ingredients may be subject to regulation:
the natural low-calorie sweetener stevia has been used in Japan since 1971, whereas it was permitted in the EU in 2011.
India approved it only in 2015. Increasing regulation tends to discourage newcomers.
The substitutes for energy drinks primarily include: protein shakes, sports drinks, juices and other fresh products, and
other soft drinks.
Leading players tend to have diverse product ranges, which reduces the threat posed by substitutes. For example, Coca-
Cola is a major player in the energy drinks market as well as being a leading manufacturer of sports drinks.
The Indian energy drinks market is highly concentrated, with the top four leading players accounting for 94.9% of the
market’s value. The players in this market are fairly similar: most operate primarily in the food and drink industry. This
increases rivalry, and means that market fluctuations are likely to affect companies in the same way. Switching costs are
low: buyers can switch from one player to another without incurring costs. This boosts rivalry.
The ease of exit depends to some extent on the business model of the company. A company, which manufactures
energy drinks in a single integrated process, will need to dispose of assets such as specialized equipment in order to exit
the market. On the other hand, a company of the same size that operates in conjunction with a network of bottling
partners will tend to have fewer assets, and exit is therefore easier.
The strong growth of the market helps to decrease the intensity of rivalry.
Overall, there is a moderate degree of rivalry in the Indian energy drinks market.
