1885 - Pharmacist John Pemberton created a syrup
formula that would become Coca-Cola. It was mixed with
carbonated water at Jacob's Pharmacy in Atlanta,
Georgia and was an instant success. The famous CocaCola script logo was created by Pemberton's bookkeeper,
Frank Robinson, and used in
newspaper advertisements.
1888 - Asa Candler bought the
formula from Pemberton and started The Coca-Cola
Company. Candler was a marketing wizard and with
coupons, souvenir merchandising, posters and calendars
made the Coca-Cola logo appear everywhere. He built
syrup plants in Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles and Dallas.
1894 - Coca-Cola was first bottled in
Vicksburg, Mississippi, but Candler
ignored that possibility.
1899 - The bottling rights were sold to
Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead
and John Lupton for $1. That eventually
became the Coca-Cola worldwide
bottling system.
1916 - Due to imitation bottles of
competitors, Coca-Cola bottlers agreed
on a standard distinctive bottle shape.
1923 - Robert Woodruff became president of CocaCola. He was a marketing genius and made the
company global.
1931 - During his leadership,
Coca-Cola used its version of Santa
Claus in advertising, becoming the

coin-operated vending machine.

High Pressure
• The major competitors are Coca-Cola and Pepsi.
Both have a wide range of beverage products.
Coca-Cola has a long history that has created
generations of loyal customers. Pepsi is trying to
attract the younger generations with marketing
• Other soda brands with unique flavors such as Dr.
Pepper and Nehi Grape, compete with the market
share
• The top three companies hold more than 85 per
cent of the market with Coca-Cola in the lead
followed by PepsiCo and Dr. Pepper Snapple
Carbonated Soft
Drinks Shares
for 2011
Low Pressure
• There is a continuous line of new brands
appearing in the market with often lower
prices than Coke & Pepsi products
• Existing bottlers have franchise
agreements with major companies that
prohibit them from taking on competing
brands
• Major competitors can instigate a price war
• New entrants must supply a large population to
overcome high fixed costs for warehouses, trucks,
and labor, and economies of scale
Medium to high pressure
• Many soft drink products in the market. In a blind taste test,
many people couldn’t tell the difference between Coca-Cola
and Pepsi
• More people are drinking bottled
water, fruit juice, lemonade and tea
instead of soda
• Popularity of bottled water caused a
drop in sales for carbonated drinks,
with a market drop of 2.1% in 2009
• Energy drinks are growing fast in the beverage industry, but the
market share is just 1% of the market. It may slow down due to
calls for greater regulation and research
• Other substitutes: tap water, milk, coffee, juices and alcoholic
drinks
Low pressure
• The main ingredients for soft
drinks include coloring, flavor,
carbonated water, phosphoric
acid, sweetener, additives and
caffeine. There are many suppliers
to choose from.
• Any supplier would not want to
lose a major customer.
Low pressure
• Major competitors price their soft drinks about the same.
• Less popular beverages tend to have lower prices but flavor
and quality may be lower.
• Large retailers have bargaining power due to quantity, but
that is suppressed because of consumer brand loyalty
• Major buyers include food stores, convenience stores,
fountain drink sellers and vending machine distributers
• Restaurants have less bargaining power due to ordering a
small volume demand
• With less people drinking less soft drinks, the bargaining
power of buyers could increase due to decreasing buyer
demand

1. Focusing on global expansion: Coca Cola’s plans
for global expansion will enhance the market value
of company’s stock.
– China market
– India market
– Potential market – Africa
2. KO has many successful brands which can
continue to be exploited and pursued, and
providing the benefit for other products.
3. Buying out competition could increase the
company’s revenue and market share.
4. KO’s brand recognition would provide the
opportunity to leave its competitors behind.

Laws And regulations
• New York City Sugary Drink Ban
• Restaurants, fast food chains, and movie theaters are unable to
sell sugary drinks that are more than 16 ounces
• At the moment this law is limited to fountain drinks and does
restrict bottled drinks sold at a grocery or convenient store
• If this law can be passed, more strict laws could be passed as
well
Hải Lê
• KO should increase investment in global
expansion, especially Asian market and potential
market Africa.
• KO should take advantages from its current
successful products in order to diverse product line
and product depth. The dominant position in its
current market could substantially provide many
benefits for KO in launching new products.
• KO should put more money on buy-out plan to turn
its competitors’ profit to its own profit.
• The final recommendation for KO is to recognizing
its brand power and benefit itself in order to widen
the gap between them and its competitors.
