Porter‘s Five Forces – Concentrate Industry
Cola Wars Jan 21st 20112
Rivalry: HIGH
Duopoly
Fountain: high
Internationalization: moderate
Advertising: high
Bargaining Power of Suppliers: LOW• mainly commodity supplies and many suppliers available
Bargaining Power of Buyers• retailers: rather low• Fountain clients: high
power• Bottlers: low
Threat of SubstituteProducts or Services: HIGH• “Sometimes I think we even
compete with soup.”
Threat of New Entrants: LOW
• unequal access to bottlers
• saturated market
• current players resource strength
Attractiveness of the Industry
Profit potential of the concentrate industry
Reasons:
• Five forces: strong negotiation position towards buyers and suppliers
• Growth of consumption is increasing at a slower rate (80s: 5-7%; 2000: 0.2%)
• Huge potential in undeveloped markets
• Low capital costs (little investment in machinery, overhead, labor), low production costs
• Duopoly between Pepsi
Attractiveness depends on who you are and where you are As an established player such as Coke and Pepsi, it is an attractive market

Five Forces – Bottling Industry
Cola Wars Jan 21st 20114
Rivalry among the existing competitors
Low, they have their own bottlersBargaining Power of SuppliersLow, since the materials are considered as commoditities
Bargaining Power of BuyersRetailers: medium (depending on the brand), limited shelf space
Threat of Substitute Products or ServicesLow, (cans / bottles) as bottling companies are able to produce innovations, existing companies are already in the frontline of technology
Threat of New EntrantsLow as the market share of Coke’s and Pepsi’s bottling companies is very high -> development towards consolidation
Comparison - Economy of Bottling and Concentrate Industry
Profits - Concentrate producers have a margin of 35% while bottling companies have a 9% margin
Costs – Bottling has higher costs than the concentrate industry
Marketing - 39% of sales for concentrate and 2% for bottler
Bargaining Power: Higher for the concentrate industry as bottling companies are dependent on those two major concentrate clients.
Which industry is more attractive? Concentrate industry is more attractive, they both have higher margins and higher bargaining powers.

Impact of Competition between Pepsi and Coke
• Consolidation of bottling industry
• Price war in the 80s had negative impact on margins and created a stronger duopoly
• Competition forced innovation (new products, package size) and growth“The more successful they are, the sharper we are. If the Coca-Cola company didn’t exist, we’d pray for someone to invent them”.
• Competition led to segmentation of markets and differentiation through branding

Porter‘s Importance
How does Porter‘s framework contribute?
• To have a holistic perspective and not just see the company‘s point of view
• Industry structure becomes clearer as not only Coke and Pepsi are analyzed but also the bottling companies
• Understand the impact of the whole network on the profit potential (how everything is interrelated)
• The most salient force is not always obvious!

Factors influencing profitability
• Price X sales – costs
• Costs:
• Material costs are rather low (strong negotation power due to commodities)
• Accelerating marketing costs
• finding new markets (+ efficient market segmentation)
• Launch of new products (e.g. non-carbonated drinks) -> decrease dependency on one single segment
