8. 2.2. Market Analysis
2.2.1. DESTEP Analysis
With Destep analysis, Detox bar can understand macro factors that influence the company and figure out the
opportunity in healthy juice segment.
• Demographic aspects:
Healthy lifestyle has been a trend of young generation for a while. With the help of internet, they’re well informed
and always stay up-to-date; so a new, healthy and fancy beverage like Cold pressed juice will not go under the
radar. Combined with Vietnam’s young demographic, it’s a promising market for Cold pressed juice. According
to statistic, middle class in Vietnam is rapidly increasing which will double to 33 million people, about a third
of the population, between 2014 and 2020 (Nikkei Asian), which suggests increasing market demand for Cold
pressed juice since this class contributes most to the sale, considered its size to the Upper class.
• Economic aspects:
As Vietnam’s economy is growing stably with the increase in GDP 6,3 % compared to 2016 , followed by quality
of life. Thus, people are looking for a higher standard in everything, including drinks. And all the numbers are
suggesting that the economy would continue to grow fast. This ensures that the Cold pressed juice market will
continue to grow as it’s perceived as a high-class healthy juice. With the right marketing approaches, the healthy
juice market is predicted to grow fast.
According to Kantar World Panel, fruit juices is the boom-
ing industry in 4 biggest city with up to 23% growth in vol-
ume. Ensuring growing demand for Cold Pressed Juice.
Online business is booming in Vietnam, which close-
ly associated with increasing online purchase behavior. Viet-
nam ecommerce - the fastest growing globally, with the annual
growth rate is 35%, more than 2,5 times compared to Japan. In
addition, there is a rapid increase of e- commerce from 5.4 per
cent to 8.8 per cent in four cities in the last year alone (2016). So,
this is an opportunity for Detox Bar to conduct our business bar
since our strategy focuses on online.
• Social aspects:
Ho Chi Minh is a rushing city. For many people here, time is
money. And that is where instant beverage shines. Convenient and healthy is the perfect combo in a product for
these people since the time for their own hand-made juice is a luxury.
• Technological aspects:
Although Cold pressed juice is not new to developed countries. It’s alien to Vietnamese and is perceived as a
product made from latest technology which helps retains more nutrition in fruits than others juice-making
methods. This help make Cold pressed juice a premium product and can be set at a higher price. The internet has
passed its booming period and is well established across the country, accessible to most of the population. One
of the best things the Internet does is spreading negative news, “dirty” foods/drinks is of course on the radar,
making people become sensitive in term of foods and drinks. This would stimulate people to seek high-standard
products, which benefits Cold Pressed Juice.
Besides that, Vietnam e-commerce market has significant increase in recent years; in 2016, In 2016, the percent-
age of shoppers via the e-commerce market has increased from 5.4% to 8.8% in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da
Nang and Can Tho. Not only that, the number of online shopping transactions is three times more valuable than
offline. This oppotunity enables for Detox Bar to expand our business on online flatform besides the offline store.
8
9. • Ecological aspects:
“White polution” – polution caused by plastic materials is a headache problem in Vietnam. As the plastic and
nylon consumption have dramatic increase; especially, in Ho Chi Minh, about 60% of rubbish is nylon and
plastic package which is daily consumed (Department of Natural Resources and Environment), consumers
have pay more attention to those eco-friendly materials, which lead high demand in eco- friendly consump-
tion on package instead of using plastic nylon, plastic straws- about 80% of consumer are willing to pay more
for those product that is friendly with environment (Nielsen Vietnam,2017).
• Political aspects:
There is not much effect that political environment affect the juice market. One thing can consider is that the
Ministry of Industry and Trade intend to require online business to register their online shop, also apply tax
on this type of business. So, it may be harder for Detox Bar to conduct online business since the tax is pay
twice- online and in store.
2.2.2. Five Forces Analysis:
The Five Forces model are using in this report to analyze the competitive environment in juice segment and
help us to set the suitable strategy
• Supplier power: Low
The bargaining power of the suppliers is low. The reason is that there are many big fruit suppliers in the coun-
try, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, Southern areas such as “Cau Dat Farm”, “Minh Anh”, and “Kim Hang Luc
Ngan”, etc. Abundant supply, suppliers provide seasonal fruits as well as year round fruit. They directly buy
fruit and vegetable from farmers. These are organic fruits and meet “VietGap” standards. Their market share
is quite stable and large. The fruits and services of the suppliers are similar in form and quality. The switching
cost is also low as we can change other providers when the old provider does not meet the standards and re-
quirements. In addition, we can also directly buy fruit from the orchard, they also meet the quality of products.
Therefore, we have a lot of choices about suppliers.
• Buyer Power: Medium to High
Demand for clean products in recent
years tends to increase. Vietnamese
consumers are more concerned about
their health and looking for healthy
drinks that can balance their busy life-
style and dietary habits. The products
are manufactured with the criteria:
time saving, nutrition, health have ap-
peared on the market, which quickly attracted consumers. However, there are many competitors in selling this
product with variable price, so customers have more choices for themselves with the products and services
that suit them. With low conversion costs, customers lose almost nothing if they want to switch to using an-
other vendor’s product. Therefore, this stage negotiates of buyers from medium to high.
Pressure from distributors is also relatively high because of large orders. However, it will decrease as loyalty
decreases.
• Threat of New Entry: High
The beverage market in Vietnam in recent years has grown rapidly with the trend of increasing consumption
in the beverage category from natural fruits. The Ministry of Industry and Trade forecasts fruit juice and
vegetable market to reach 6 billion liters in 2017, as consumers are increasingly interested in natural fruit
juice products. According to the VBA survey, due to strong local market demand, most beverage companies
said “they will increase output by 20%compared to 2015, Fruit Juice uses fresh fruit. Although the fruit juice
segment will continue to grow at an average annual rate of 17.5% in the next five years (2020), market share
is at risk of being shared with new producers. However, the absolute advantage of the cost of production may
arise from the technology of production, due to long experience in the industry, due to labor costs, low raw
material costs. This is a difficult barrier for adversaries to join. The loyalty to the long-standing brands such
as Vfresh of Vinamilk also makes it difficult for new entrants to compete in the market. Economies of scale,
long-standing companies will have advantages, the new entrants will be disadvantaged in terms of high costs,
gain little profit.
9
10. • Threat of Substitute Product: High
In the juice industry, the threat from alternative products is high as it is a popular item. Customers are more
selection by businesses which are in the same industry and provide similar products. Or other businesses of-
fering products like tea, soybeans that can cool the body, reduce fat, make beautiful skin, for example, Orange
pressed Vfresh of Vinamilk Company is favored and used most, occupied 70.0% is what cold pressed juice
should be worried. These types of products affect cold pressed juice.
• Rivalry among Existing Firms: High
As mentioned above, cold pressed juice has many competitors in Vietnam market. The number of current
competitors in the industry is significant. Demand for clean products is increasing, and businesses are paying
attention to this need and improving their products. In addition, they are strong in communication for the
product through traditional channels as well as in social media. Because there are many competitors in the
market, businesses are increasingly trying to meet the needs and serve customers in the best way. This shows
that the competition among rivals in this industry is high.
2.3. Competition
2.3.1. Competitors analysis:
• Indirect competition from tea, condensed juice and milky fruit juice:
According to recent research conducted by W&S Co., Ltd, the number of consumers chose fruit juice and
milky fruit juice reaches 62.0%. There are many famous brand in the market with high quality like Nutriboost
(Coca-Cola), Lif (Love’in Farm)...
In addition, condensed juice also considered as our indirect competitors such as Vfresh (Vinamilk) which is
the most popular brand in Vietnam (70%) (W&S,20105), Number 1 Juice (TanHiepPhat),
which are believed to be widely consumed as well as global companies’ products like Minute Maid (Coca-Co-
la), Tropicana (PepsiCo), Twister,...
Besides milky and condensed fruit juice, Tea also viewed as threatening competitors for cold pressed juice as
well, which account for 36,97% market share in berverage (2014)
• Intense competition from existing cold pressed juice
Global cold pressed juice market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7% by 2022. (January 24, 2017) Cold-
pressed juices are becoming more prominent among consumers who are health-conscious and demanding
healthier juice drinks. It leads many direct competitors appear such as Ep, Mandala Juice,...are considered our
main competitors which invest a lot in building brand image via marketing effort, promotion on Facebook
advertising, Google adwords, PR article,.. These brand have some competitive advantages: having expert in
health and food industry in founder’s team who can host related events in some brands; diversity in juice
range with reasonable price; having visual attracting via product packaging, images on website and Facebook;
providing well-designed atmosphere in stores and having exclusive recipe in each type of juice.
It can be concluded that cold-pressed juice market in Vietnam is facing with intense competition from indi-
rect and direct competitor in the mature market. However, there is a gap in juice market that Detox bar can
enter is the favor customization which no brands offer. By figuring out the market gap, this is a great opportu-
nity for Detox bar success in the juice market.

to manipulate and be led to the official website
- Venue: Big Office building (twice a week), Market Fair/Market, around the store
2. Gifting sample gift to KOLs
- We use gift form instead of booking Kols to save money in promotion via gift box (330ml Detox Bar in ther-
mos package)
- Target: Elle journalists (online magazine) and micro influence who are outstanding public figures on social
networks with the number of followers ranging from 20-150k along a healthy lifestyle, well-known follow-ee in
the fields of beauty and health, blogger, owners of famous brands such as Huong Ng, Julia Doan Chloe Nguyen,
Trisha Do, Le Ha Truc
- The reason we use Kols to receive feedback and gorgeous images for future Public Relations schemes and build
up brand image, which is to attract a larger scale of viewers through “hot” fan-pages. Although they have least
follow-ee on social network ( Instagram
and Facebook) , their reach and impact on healthy fields is huge, also they do not take any
fee for their post, so we can save money a lot and still have good image and feedback for
our Marketing plan. By giving gift like that, we offer them a chance to use our product and
give authentic feedback on their post, also become our customer in the future.
3. Public Relations article
- Booking post from Elle to promote the Detox brand and our product - the content is restricted to orient
announcement or intensive advertise about the product. So, its flow should be in the “ trend” format which
connecting our brand tone of voice and image. The trial tittle “ the most favorite drink of Vietnamese beauty
blogger” including images and feedbacks from “hot influencer” about trying on and sharing.

25. 4. WOM
1 set topping give-away when suggesting friends to try by sharing posts or codes via the official website.
WOM also bases on feedbacks and images shared on social media of customers. Within 3 initial months, en-
couraging customers to buy and send feedback through mini-games is the key. Specifically, by presenting 330-
ml Detox Bar as the prize with a thermos package, the event is to select the winner with the best picture and
feedback. This happens two times a month.
