COMPANY OVERVIEW
In 1965 Herman W. Lay of the Frito-Lay Company and Donald Kendall of Pepsi-
Cola formed PepsiCo. In 1986 operations were combined under PepsiCo
Worldwide Foods and PepsiCo Worldwide Beverages.
PepsiCo entered India in 1989 and in a short period of 20 years has grown into the
largest and one of the fastest growing food & beverage business in the country.
PepsiCo India’s growth has been guided by PepsiCo’s global vision of
“Performance with Purpose”. This means that while businesses maximize
shareholder value, they have a responsibility to all the stakeholders including the
communities in which they operate, the consumers they serve and the
environment whose resources they use.
PepsiCo Inc. is an American multinational corporation headquartered
in Purchase, Harrison, New York, United States, with interests in the
manufacturing, marketing and distribution of grain-based snack foods, beverages,
and other products. PepsiCo was formed in 1965 with the merger of the Pepsi-
Cola Company and Frito-Lay, Inc. PepsiCo has since expanded from its name sake
product Pepsi to a broader range of food and beverage brands, the largest of
which include an acquisition of Tropicana in 1998 and a merger with Quaker
Oats in 2001 – which added the Gatorade brand to its portfolio as well.
PepsiCo is the second largest food & beverage business in the world. Within North
America, PepsiCo is ranked (by net revenue) as the largest food and beverage
business. PepsiCo brands are among the best known and most respected in the

including sport drinks, protein beverages and nutrition bars. It

developed in 1965 at the University of Florida and is hence
named after the university’s sports team, the Gators.
Introduced as a variant of Pepsi Cola in 1964, Diet Pepsi is

Lipton is a brand of tea produced by PepsiCo in partnership
with Unilever. It was invented by Sir Thomas Lipton towards the
end of the 19th century.
Quaker Oats is an American food corporation which was founded
in 1901 by the merger of four oat mills. It was bought by PepsiCo
in 2001 and currently produces breakfast cereals and other oat-
based food products.
Competition
The Coca-Cola Company has historically been considered PepsiCo’s primary
competitor in the beverage market. In 2009, the Coca-Cola Company held a
higher market share in carbonated soft drink sales within the U.S. In the same
year, PepsiCo maintained a higher share of the U.S. refreshment beverage
market, however, reflecting the differences in product lines between the two
companies. As a result of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships pursued by
PepsiCo in the 1990s and 2000s, its business has shifted to include a broader
product base, including foods, snacks and beverages. Beverages accounted for
less than 50 percent of its total revenue in 2009. In the same year, slightly more
than 60 percent of PepsiCo's beverage sales came from its primary non-
carbonated brands, namely Gatorade and Tropicana.
PepsiCo's Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats brands hold a significant share of the U.S.
snack food market, accounting for approximately 39 percent of U.S. snack food
sales in 2009. One of PepsiCo's primary competitors in the snack food market
overall is Kraft Foods, which in the same year held 11 percent of the U.S. snack
market share.

PRICE
Expenses related to transportation, ingredients and labor continue to
pressure the beverage industry toward price increases.
PepsiCo’s drink pricing strategies may be heavily influenced by its working
relationship with Wal-Mart whose low price themes put pressure on
PepsiCo to hold down prices.
The company strives to cut or maintain current prices by cutting overhead
and re-engineering the manufacturing process.
PepsiCo is expanding its use of inexpensive and recyclable plastic bottles;
nevertheless the company has instituted some price increases in recent
years, specifically in its overseas markets such as New Delhi and Dubai.
PLACE
PepsiCo is primarily a US based company with approximately 52% of its
revenues located in the states.
PepsiCo is in the midst of making a $1,000 million investment in china, and
a $500 million investment in India. Both initiatives are part of its expansion
into international markets and a lessening of its dependence on US sales.
In addition the company plans on major capital initiatives in Brazil and
Mexico.
The company is also acquiring Russia’s leading juice company,
Lebedyansky, and V Water located in the United Kingdom.
Areas of business
The structure of PepsiCo's global operations has shifted multiple times in its
history as a result of international expansion, and as of 2010 it is separated into
four main divisions: PepsiCo Americas Foods, PepsiCo Americas
Beverages, PepsiCo Europe, and PepsiCo Asia, Middle East and Africa. As of 2009,
71 percent of the company’s net revenues came from North and South America,
16 percent from Europe and 13 percent from Asia, the Middle East and
Africa. Approximately 285,000 people are employed by PepsiCo worldwide as of
2010.

It was hot summer of Chennai which made me realize of this unique pricing
strategy of Cola Companies. It was few years back when these companies
come up with the concept of “Chota Pepsi” or “Coke” for that matter. They
offered consumers 150 ml of soft-drink for Rs.5. It was well accepted by
consumers who were use to drink 300 ml. At this point of time both 150 ml
and 300 ml (for Rs. 9) were available in the market.
Then after some time they increased the volume and price of small bottles
to 200 ml and Rs. 7, though 300 ml was at same price.
Finally, these companies are now selling same “Chota Pepsi” or “Small
Coke” at the price of “Bada” i.e. Rs. 9. And we without realizing this have
happily accepted this. And the price of pet jar i.e. 500 ml has just increased
from Rs. 18 to Rs. 20, where as the prices of 1.5 liters and 2 liters have been
decreasing or is mostly with some offer like free my can or something. 300
ml bottles have almost vanished from the market now.
Hats Off to the pricing strategy of the Cola Companies who have been
successfully able to sell 66% of the product at the cost of 100% almost in a
phased manner and making consumer habitual and unaware of the
increased price.
