7. COMPETITORS TO HCCBPL
The competitors to the products of the company mainly lie in the non-alcoholic beverage industry
consisting of juices and soft drinks.
• The key competitors in the industry are as follows:
• PepsiCo: The PepsiCo challenge, to keep up with archrival, the Coca-Cola Company never ends for
the World's # 2, carbonated soft-drink maker. The company's soft drinks include Pepsi, Mountain
Dew, and Slice. Cola is not the company's only beverage; PepsiCo sells Tropicana orange juice
brands, Gatorade sports drink, and Aquafina water. PepsiCo also sells Dole juices and Lipton ready-
to-drink tea. PepsiCo and Coca-Cola hold together, a market share of 95% out of which 60.8% is
held by Coca-Cola and the rest belongs to Pepsi.
• Nestle: Nestle does not give that tough a competition to Coca-Cola as it mainly deals with milk
products, Baby foods and Chocolates. But the iced tea that is Nestea which has been introduced
into the market by Nestle provides a considerable amount of competition to the products of the
Company. Iced tea is one of the closest substitutes to the Colas as it is a thirst quencher and it is
healthier when compared to fizz drinks. The flavored milk products also have become substitutes to
the products of the company due to growing health awareness among people.
• Dabur: Dabur in India, is one of the most trusted brands as it has been operating ever since times
and people have laid all their trust in the Company and the products of the Company. Apart from
food products, Dabur has introduced into the market Real Juice which is packaged fresh fruit juice.
These products give a strong competition to Maaza and the latest product Minute Maid Pulpy
Orange.
