Industry
The beverage industry is a mature, dynamic and fragmented industry. The biggest challenge facing the beverage industry today is the declining consumption of carbonated soft drinks in developed markets. Carbonated soft drink consumption is known to bear a high correlation with the incidence of obesity, diabetes and other related issues.
This is the primary reason behind the consistent decline in carbonated soft drinks volumes seen over the last decade in developed markets. Consumers in the developed markets are not only well-informed,

Consumers have begun to seek out healthier alternatives. Both brands (PepsiCo and Coca-Cola)have seen recent decline amid increased competition, and analysts foresee a continued downward trend for the two main brands, although these two companies are expected to continue to dominate the overall beverage market.
PepsiCo is focusing on the innovation of new products across its food and beverage businesses. In 2014, PepsiCo spent $718 million on research and development costs, up 8% compared to the previous fiscal year.

The soft drink companies distribute the beverages to these stores, for resale to the consumer. The bargaining power of the buyers is very evident and strong. Large grocers and stores buy large volumes of the soft drinks, allowing them to buy at lower prices. Restaurants have less bargaining power because they do not order a large volume. However, with the number of people are drinking less soft drinks, the bargaining power of buyers could start increasing due to decreasing buyer
“New York City’s Board of Health today passed a rule banning super-sized drinks at restaurants, concession stands and other eateries.” (Doc A). Individuals in the United States are overweight because they do not know how to limit themselves. If the government were to control one of the main reasons people are obese, then several people would not be overweight because the government would take care of the problem. Banning sugary drinks over 16-ounces would help people lower their sugar intake, which would help people stay in excellent health.
Matthew Ferguson BUSI 400 June 15, 2015 After reading 20 of the latest press releases from PepsiCo, that Pepsi is actually pursuing is product development, market development, and finally forward integration. Pepsi focuses on performing near and long term investments, having future plans on making global investments. The first strategy that Pepsi is pursing is product development, a strategy used by a company to increase sales by modifying or upgrading a product. This entails a lot of research and development expenditures and a main reason being to be major competitors offering better quality products (David & David, 2015, p 138).
The Pantry’s use of forward integration contributes to this bargaining power. They receive much of their in-store goods from Budweiser, Frito Lay, and Coca-Cola, who in turn provides delivery services directly to stores. Bargaining Power of Buyers Low brand loyalty and minimal switching costs make the bargaining power of buyers high. Buyers make the decision to patronize other businesses when the opportunity to pay lower prices, presents itself.

The research question is as follows: are there any gender difference in people’s beverage selection of soft drinks and diet soft drinks? The hypothesis is that compared to men, women are less likely to choose soft drinks among all beverages, and if soft drinks are chosen, women are more likely to consume diet soft drinks than regular ones. Relevant empirical works have shown that gender differences in food selection exist as men demonstrate fewer healthy choices than women (Wardle, 2004). In both adolescence and adulthood, men consume meats, dairy products, and carbohydrate- rich foods significantly more frequent than women, and women were more likely to consume fruits, yogurt, tea, and low-calorie carbonated beverages (Rolls, 1991). Health beliefs are hypothesized as one cause of gendered food selection as men rate many health behaviors, including food selection choices, as less important than women do (Wardle, 2004).

Because of these new technologies, Coca-Cola 's production volume has increased sharply compared to that of a few years ago. 2.2.3 Key Strategic Objectives and Challenges • Acquisition targets in developed markets: Coca-Cola already has strong penetration in major soft drinks markets, which typically offers limited acquisition opportunities due to market consolidation. Much of the future volume growth is likely to come from secondary markets such as Vietnam and Indonesia. Coca-cola may be better advised to set its sights on larger acquisition targets in untapped regions such as the Middle East and Africa and some secondary markets. • Diet Products
First, two firms control the vast majority of the market share, which include Coca-Cola and Pepsi. There are smaller firms in the market, but their market share in the industry is miniscule by comparison to these two dominant firms. Small companies generally lack the financial capital to launch brand on a large scale. Next, the barriers to entry in the industry are very high. Producing soft drinks for a wide market would require a significant investment in production equipment, brand material, and advertising.

In the carbonated soft drinks industry, Coke Cola and Pepsi Co are the biggest players in the market for aerated beverages. Both the companies have been competing strongly against each other for decades. The market is dominated by these two industry leaders with a total market share of 72%; Coke’s market share is 42% and Pepsi’s 30%. This is known as an oligopoly market; where there are few large firms competing with each other in the industry. Since both the company’s market share so large, the market is very close to a duopoly (other players having a very small impact on the market).
McDonald’s is the largest fast food restaurant chain in the United States and represent the largest restaurant company in the world, both in terms of customer served and revenue generated. In 2014 IBISWorld market research estimated MCD held an 18.6 % of market share of the entire global fast food industry; Burger King in at just 4.6%. Under franchising visionary Ray Kroc, McDonald 's became the world 's premier food brand by selling the rights to operate a McDonald 's store.

Calm coffee 's customers can easy change choose to substitutes because there are many substitutes in the market, such as soft drink or other special beverage from restaurants, and instant and bottled beverages and other goods from grocery stores. The cost of shifting to substitutes is lower because Calm coffee 's customers do not need to spend more cost for the shifting process. In addition, many of these substitutes cost less than Calm coffee products like soft drink or bottle drink. Thus, based on this part of the Five Forces analysis, Calm coffee must consider the threat of substitutes as the top-priority concerns. The threat of new entrants of the 5 Forces analysis model shows that new entrants have obvious but not intense effect on Calm Coffee’s business.
