6.1. Summary
Figure 7: Forces driving competition in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
Whilst high fixed costs serve to enhance rivalry, strong market growth during the review period (2017–2022) has
alleviated this somewhat.
Convenience stores are the main distribution channel in the Indian carbonated soft drinks market. On-trade outlets and
hypermarkets and supermarkets are also significant. Though retailers are unlikely to be swayed by brand loyalty, they
are compelled to stock brands preferred by consumers. Buyer power in this market is driven by low switching costs.
Leading companies must maintain product quality if they are to maintain their brand equity in the long term. However,
a lack of differentiation in commodity inputs weakens supplier power.
The threat of new entrants is moderate due to fair capital investments and the presence of well-established brands. It is
possible for a new entrant to achieve small-scale success by stressing a unique production method or nutritional
benefits.
Substitutes to carbonated soft drinks include 100% juices, fruit based drinks, and RTD iced tea/coffee, which pose a
moderate threat.
Industry Profiles
Figure 8: Drivers of buyer power in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
Convenience stores constitutes the major buyers in the Indian carbonated drinks market, which account for 53.16% of
the total market value in 2022. On-trade outlets and hypermarkets & supermarkets are also significant, together
accounted for 44.88% of the total market share in 2022. 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.
Brands are highly important to consumers in this market, which weakens buyer power because it is important for
retailers to stock popular brands. Also, there are several ways for market players to differentiate their products.
Moreover, manufacturers are also dependent on packaging companies but retailers of finished products less so.
Therefore, overall buyer power assessed as moderate.
Industry Profiles
Figure 9: Drivers of supplier power in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
The primary inputs for carbonated soft drinks manufacturers include carbon dioxide, acidity (pH), flavorings, a range of
natural and synthetic sweeteners such as corn syrup, aspartame, and similar ingredients.
Some of these commodities, although available from several sources, are subject to price fluctuations. Others (e.g.
aspartame) are provided by only one or two major suppliers. However, even in these cases, there are usually
substitutes available. For example, if aspartame becomes expensive or unobtainable then it can be substituted by
saccharine and other similar products.
Water, which is a major input, may raise concerns for multinational players, especially in countries where water scarcity
represents a risk factor for their business.
The power of packaging manufacturers is growing since there is a growing demand for more consumer and
environmentally friendly packaging.
Overall, supplier power is moderate in this market.
Industry Profiles
Figure 10: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
Large, multinational players such as The Coca-Cola Company, PepsiCo, Inc., and Parle Agro Group dominate the market.
The leading players wield significant power and benefit from scale economies, strong brands, and a diverse range of
products. Private labels also greatly influence the environment.
Players in the carbonated soft drinks market are able to distinguish their products to some extent by stressing 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 facilities in order to produce the
concentrates. This is generally capital-intensive and can restrict market entry. However, market niches can be exploited
by new entrants. A number of larger players have already done this by catering for local tastes. Additionally, changes in
consumer preferences have caused a shift towards health-oriented wellness drinks.
Government regulation affects several aspects of carbonated soft drink manufacturing. For example, in most countries
there are requirements for food and drinks 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 only permitted
in the EU in 2011. India approved it in 2015. Moreover, in April 2017, the Government of India introduced a Goods and
Services Tax (GST), which made soft drinks, particularly fizzy drinks, more costly. Increased regulation will discourage
newcomers.
The Indian carbonated soft drinks market experienced strong growth rate during the review period. This is likely to
encourage newcomers. Overall, there is a moderate likelihood of new entrants.
Industry Profiles
Figure 11: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
The substitutes for carbonated soft drinks primarily include, 100% juices, fruit based drinks, and RTD iced tea/coffee.
Leading players tend to have diverse product ranges, which reduces the threat posed by substitutes. For example,
Nestle is a major player in the coffee market as well as being a leading manufacturer of carbonated soft drinks. Overall,
there is a moderate threat from substitutes.
Industry Profiles
Figure 12: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the carbonated soft drinks market in India, 2022
The Indian carbonated soft drinks market is concentrated, with the top four leading players, The Coca-Cola Company,
PepsiCo, Inc., Parle Agro Group, and Kali Mark accounting for 90.09% of the market’s value in 2022. Notably, The Coca-
Cola Company secured 58.15% of the total market share in 2022.
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
ready-for-consumption carbonated soft 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 during the review period helps to decrease the intensity of rivalry. Overall, there is a
moderate degree of rivalry in the Indian carbonated soft drinks market.
