Background of the Beverage Industry of Bangladesh

Beverages have a massive market in Bangladesh because of the huge population density derived
demand.After independence the food habit of Bangladeshi people has been changed a lot.
Besides our traditional food consumer of Bangladesh like to take western food also after 1980s.
As a result of global marketing this was not too hard for the consumers. Different foreign food
companies were established in Bangladesh. Beverage industry is one of them. But more
interestingly we dont know beverage is also our cultural food because beverage doesnt mean
only carbonated drinks. !oghurt" soup and lacchi are also beverage of our own tradition which
consumed for the last 100 years in Bangladesh. But carbonated beverage is new in Bangladesh.
#arbonated beverage entered into our market in the later part of 1980. At that time there were
only few companies in Bangladesh. But by the change of time and western culture influences its
become very popular in Bangladesh. By year $000 more than 1$ Beverage #ompany operating
