INTRODUCTION
A beverage is a drink specifically prepared for human consumption. Beverages almost always
largely consist of water. Drinks often consumed include: Water (both flat or carbonated), Juice
based drinks, Soft drinks, Sports and Energy drinks, Alcoholic beverages like beer or spirits,
Coffee, tea ,Dairy products like milk. Commonly, drinks are filled into containers, like glass or
plastic bottles, steel or aluminum cans as well as cardboard supported packages, like the
"TetraPak" or others.
Traditionally, the Indian life style has a predilection for fresh fruits and vegetables or thoseprocessed at home. There is a sea change. People, are now increasingly going in for fresh fruit
vending from kiosk fountains, which produce instant juices from fresh fruits in the presence of
the consumer. It could be due to the non-availability of hygienically produced and well-
preserved products with the use of preservatives. That is why some of the real but branded fruit
juices launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not succeed.
The emerging trends in the market have confused producers to sell their product to gain
appropriate profit. India is growing day by day in various sectors and preference of people also
changing according to the change in business trends. Consumer buying behavior is differenent
according to products. A preference of consumer differs due to the different characteristics of the
product. This study shows the consumer preference with respect to fruit juices. The demand
towards the product can be known from the demographic profile, density of population, retail
links and their expectations towards the product. Fruit juices now a day become a social drink
which captured the attention of each individual of a society. The restrictions for other type of
alcoholic drinks gave ultimate way of demand for fruit juices.
In Indian market the severe completion among the producers have encouraged them to go for
innovative ways. The competitors have a strong belief towards their brand and products.
Producers have inverted their preferences for marketing their products near local consumers. The
-

consumers are mostly lean towards the brands which come across them in the daily life while
going through television, news papers, and magazines, banners displayed in roads and from web
sites. The juice marked has turned into a competitive market as there are similar competitors in
the market serving the same type of juice by different brand names. The brand names of fruit
juices have changed the consumer preferences because of their easy availability, price, quality,
packaging, quality etc. Here in this case study those types of fruit juices brands have taken into
account who has their most market shares in the market.
The consumer buying behavior shows a way to the competitors in what respect they can enhance
themselves to exist in the market. The blind interpretation of producer force itself towards severe
loss. The perceptions towards the individual product shows that whether the consumer will buy it
or not .The emerging changes observed in the different levels of consumers. The consumers also
change their preferences according to their capability of buying for that particular product. The
distinct characteristics may sometimes attract the consumers to buy the product which they may
not have purchased before. The retail chain also plays an important role towards it which shows
the viability of product at the time of need. The consumers are again distinguished into different
age groups because of their different consumption pattern of food. In some cases it is observed
that fruit juices are only acceptable for sports persons for energy as well as for relaxation, but the
health consciousness factor has affected a lot each individual so that they can drink fruit juices
for good health. The campaigns for fruit juices have solved much disbelief among the
consumers.
This study shows consumer buying behavior by considering the products like Tropicana, real, leh
berry, fruity and mango ship. Some of the factors are taken into consideration like price, brand,
quality, consumer type and profession of different consumers who purchase fruit juices. Their
technique of buying is the key of our study. The buying behavior has a important role towards
the growth of individual product in the competitive market. The market is dynamic in nature and
needs innovations for existence.

growth and Evolution of Industry in Fruit
drink India
There has been a steady rise in the capacity, production and capacity utilization in the fruit
processing units. The processing capacity had gone up from 0.9 mn tonnes in 1990-91 to 2.1 mn
tones in 1999-00. The capacity utilization improved from 31% to 47%, with the production in
1999-00 estimated to have increased to 980,000 tonnes. The consumer is basically concerned
that it is a fruit juice and not a synthetically constituted product.
Accordingly, the first segmentation is between real fruit drinks and synthetic drinks. The formerare based on natural fruit pulp or juice. The others are synthetic products containing fruit
flavours. Among the fruit juice beverages are fruit juices (Pepsi's Tropicana), nectars (Dabur's
Real) and fruit drinks (Frooti and Slice). All these are real, reconstituted from fruit pulps or
concentrates. The leading fruit juice brands include Real, Onjus, Tropicana, Frooti, Jumpin.
The fruit drinks are mainly based on oranges, mangoes, pineapples, grapes, apples, guava and
tomato. They only differ in pulp content: the juices have over 85%, nectars (20% to 85%) and
fruit drinks (less than 20%).
The branded fruit juices market inclusive of nectars is placed at about Rs 10 bn. The pure fruit
juices are the preferred drink among the fruit drinks. This segment is growing at around 10%
annually. The market for fruit juices is expected to grow to Rs. 9.50 bn by end 2011-12 from
nearly Rs. 6.75 bn presently.
In the area of packaging, Tetra-Pak India, a part of the $ 10 bn Tetra Laval group, has become
the major source of brick cartons amenable to aseptic packaging and imparting long product
shelf life to the foods. Tins, nonetheless still continue to be in the market in family size
packings. A perceptible change came in 1996 with the introduction of Real juice in aseptic
cartons from Dabur Foods. Packaged in tabletop packs from Elopak, Norway, the juices were
claimed to have a six-month shelf life. Real fruit juice is the first brand in Asia to use the latest

Spin Technology developed by Tetra Pack. It is available in five flavors - orange, mango,
pineapple, mixed fruit and tomato. It also plans to export Real to South East Asia, Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka.
Enkay Texofood Industries entered the market with what is claimed as 100% natural orange juice
in India with Onjus brand. Enkay happens to be the largest Indian exporter of fruit juices, pulp
and concentrates to Europe and North America, with clients such as Unilever, Coke, Pepsi and
Nestle. The company's plants near Vapi in Gujarat have been producing daily 80,000 packs of
250 ml and 70,000 packs of one litre of Onjus.

THE MARKET SCENARIO FOR FRUIT JUICESIndia produces about 9 million tons of fruits every year, growing at a rate of 12% per annum.
The total market for fruit juices is 230million liters which includes both packeted and freshly
made fruit juices. The proportion of packed fruit juices is small at just 3.4 Mn liters just over
1% of market, But even this huge volume translate to just 20ml per capital consumption as
against 45 liters in Germany, 42.5 liters in Switzerland and39 liters in USA.
The key issue before the markets was to raise the consumption of packet fruit juices. The
consumer perception is not the constant one for the different products available in the market.
The perception of consumer depends upon the advancement made by the producers which
attracts consumers a lot and holds the market share is huge manner. The market for fruit juices is
more concerned about the facts behind fruit juices so the need for it is not diminishing but it is
rapidly increasing day by day. For every fruit juice there is certain amount of market share but
the real holding of market share depends upon the identity of the product by taking into account
price, brand, quality, quantity, packaging, availability, flavor etc.
This Key Note Market Report on fruit juices and health drinks covers the market for fruit juice,
health drinks and fruit drinks. In general, carbonates are excluded from this report, although
drinks of this type can also be fruit-based. However, there is some overlap with the carbonates
sector as health drinks, which might be carbonated and available in ready-to-drink formats of
cordials, are included.
Over the next 5 years, Key Note forecasts that the fruit juices and health drinks market will
remain healthy, with sales growing by an average annual rate of just over 6%.Increasing
concerns relating to health and diet will play a major role in the market, as consumers move
away from products that are perceived as being unhealthy, such as carbonated soft drinks,
towards more natural alternatives, such as fruit juices.

Market Analysis Summary:
One can sense an evolution that the industry has seen with development in the tetra- pack
market, there also has been a natural progression from drinks to nectars to juices and while
traditionally fruit drinks were aimed at children, the new brands like mazza,frooty,Tropicana,
Real, and Life have focused on young adults and professionals.
Although fruit drinks focus strongly on out of home consumption, the juices and nectars have
been concentrating on takeaways or in-home consumption with more choice coming in, the tetra-
pack market is likely to witness further segmentation.
Packaged fruit juices are getting recognized as social drinks now, with dominant consumption
being observed in the company of family and friends. People have started to perceive fruit juices
as anytime beverages, with consumption being spread more or less evenly between the mid
mornings, afternoons and evenings. And generation now is as much inclined to sipping fruit
juices as colas, with teenagers driving the maximum trials.
If the findings of a usage and attitude study conducted by market research agency Indica
Research across 1200 adults in Sec A and Sec B households in Delhi and Mumbai are anything
to go by, then its not just champagnes and colas that qualify as social beverages.
Market Segmentation:
There has been no general acceptance of the product forms in the fruit beverage market. The
consumer is basically concerned if it is a fruit juice or synthetically constituted product. Product
segmentation, therefore, should be clearly delimited.
Under the fruit drinks the first segmentation is between real fruit drinks and synthetic
drinks.
The real fruit drinks are based on natural fruit pulp or juice.
The synthetic drinks are synthetic products with fruit or other flavors.
Broad taste preferences could be another way to define the market. The market is at present
also segmented on the basis of fruit pulp content. For the purpose of segmentation, on the
-
7/30/2019 Neww RESERCH PROPOSAL on Fruit Juice Market in India
14/68
Oxford School Of Management Page 14
basis of fruit pulp content. For the purpose of segmentation, on the basis of fruit pulp
content, market can be segmented as:
Fruit juice with pulp content more than 80%. Brands falling in this category are
Onjus, Real, Tropicana, etc.
Fruit Nectar with pulp content between 40% to *0%. Life and Xs come in this
category.
Fruit Drinks with pulp content less than 40%. Frooti, Slice, mango sip, mazza and
Jump in are the popular brands in this category.
Segmentation could also be on the basis of the benefits provided to the consumer:
One benefit could be the nutrition content it gives to the consumer so one market
could be the health-conscious segment.
Second benefit is thirst quenching, so the other segment could be those buying the
drink or nectar for satisfying the thirst.
Another very broad segmentation can be on the type of situation in which the drink or nectar
is used:
People who are on the move i.e. Outdoor usee.g. those traveling.
People who are using it on the breakfast table as a part of their menu i.e. in-house
use.
Players very often choose one or more of such segmentations to differentiate their product and
target market and accordingly plan their distribution and promotion patterns.

Substitute:
Fruit juice companies have to face a two level competition i.e. on the first level with the
substitutes and the then the players within the industry. The sip war is comprised of the
following players with respect to India.
Soft Drinks (both carbonated and Non- carbonated soft drinks)
Soft Drinks are divided into carbonated and Non- carbonated drinks. While Cola, lemon and
oranges are carbonated drinks mango drinks come Non- carbonated category.
Flavored Milk(energy, N-Joy etc.)
Just like fruit drinks Flavoured milk is also positioned on the health platform. Companies are
trying to project it as a fun drink with added flavours and innovative packaging.
Mineral Water
Fruit drink sellers consider even mineral water as substitute to their offerings. The main
assumption is that packs ensure quality delivery.
Other products
Milk by- products like buttermilk and lassi also serve as major substitutes. They compete in
terms of low price as well as easy availability. These drinks are also considered important
from the health perspective.

Consumers Consumption and buying Patterns:
The Indian lifestyle has a traditional predilection for fresh fruits and vegetables or those
processed at home. People go in for fresh fruits vending from kiosk fountains, which produce
instant juices from fresh fruits in the presence of the consumer.
One reason is the unavailability of hygienically produced and well- preserved products with the
use of preservatives. The fact that it is packed denies its freshness. This was also a reason why
some of the real but branded fruit juices launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not
succeed.
Taste is often the secondary consideration in the Indian market for beverages. Fruit juices alsolose on roughage, which is an important part of fruit nutrition. Few people know the difference
between a juice and nectar.
In general, the Indian consumers have become health conscious now and are looking for healthy
and natural appetizing juices. They are moving away from synthetic drinks to natural and
wholesome fruit juices. At present;
Per capita consumption of juices in India is estimated at a fraction of a litre i.e. 200ml.
The consumption of fruit juices in take home packs is estimated at 17250 mnlt.
Consumers go for convenient and economy products.
So small packs are well suited for travelers and children and large take home packs
for families and price conscious people.
Availability in chilled form and brand awareness plays a crucial role in purchase decision.
This has implications for the need for availability of the product and in the right
form.
While there is no aversion to consumption of fruit beverages by any group, the main
consumers of this market are people in the age group of 30 and below.

Oxford School Of Management Page 17
Young adult and teenagers predominantly consume tetra pack drinks.
Brand loyalty is very low, as all the products taste the same.
But brand loyalty is high in case of kids.
Though there is a lot of difference between brand awareness and brand loyalty.
Consumers are money conscious where the purchase of fruit beverages is concern.
Consumers are not ready to explore the market.
They do not want to change their taste and are stuck to their old brands.
Orange and other drinks are slowly picking up and breaking the loyalty towards old
brands.

Players in the fruit drink Industry
Soft Drinks has become part and parcel of the lifestyle of Indians, irrespective of middle aged
people or kids. Particularly, after the arrival of a number of fast food joints in India, soft drinks
have gained more and more popularity. Gone are the days when soft drinks were preferred only
during sunny days, nowadays soft drinks are enjoyed with almost every meal that is had by
people outside their home. In spite of several issues that crept up with respect to ingredients used
in the manufacture of soft drinks, the market remained stable.
Categorization of soft drink industry:
The industry of soft drinks is divided into two main categories namely non-carbonated and
carbonated drinks. The non-carbonated drink segments include mostly mango flavors,
squashes and fruit juices, while carbonated drinks include orange, lemon and lemon flavors.
Some of the top brand names in the soft drinks sector in India are Thumps Up, Pepsi and Coco-
cola, Limca, Sprite, Mirinda, 7UP, etc With a view to meet the requirements of different
segments of the society, these soft drinks are being offered in varied sizes.

Tropicana
Brand History
Tropicana was founded in Bradenton, Florida, USA, in 1947. It is now enjoyed almost
everywhere in the world. Widely regarded as the world's no. 1 juice brand, it is today available in
63 countries. Since 1998, Tropicana has been owned by PepsiCo, Inc. In India Tropicana was
launched in 2004.
In India, Tropicana comes in two categories: 100% Juices (sold as Tropicana 100%) and Juice
Beverages & Nectars (sold as Tropicana).
Tropicana Beverage Co. recently announced the companys inclination towards bringing in an
entire series of juices and other health drinks from its international portfolio into India in the
coming years. The Tropicana brand, per se, has been positioned on the health platform.
Pepsi also plans to give its juice brandwhich has seen many hurdles in the nascent and niche
juice marketa renewed thrust in the coming days. A price revision of the brands is also on the
anvil.
Pepsi sets the pace for backward integration of Tropicana, as a first step towards backward
integration for its pure juice business Tropicana is foraying into contact farming of citrus fruits
like oranges and Keanu. Punjab- Jallowalhas been chosen as the location for the project. The 3
phase project involving trials, nursery and contract farming, is being pursued jointly by Pepsi and
the Punjab Agro Export Corporation. Through in its infancy at the moment, the project vision
however is of about seven years. If successful, it would mean 100% localization of orange juice

Frooti
Parle Agro Private Ltd is looking at product expansion in its various business segments to sustain growth
in a sluggish market. In the fruit drink segment where Parle Agro has a hugely popular product Mango
Frooti, it is planning to get into orange and pineapple under the same brand of Frooti. While orange pulp
will be imported from Brazil, pineapple will be sourced from Thailand.
At the same time, it has also embarked on stretching the franchise of its existing brandsFrooti, Appy
and Bailley Mineral water. It knows the market and has sustained its brands in spite of the huge
unorganized segment. Besides, the company will use its existing distribution network to get into the new
categories. At the moment, its only advantage is its distribution strength.
Parle Agro boasts of a franchise network which few can match. It has two different sets of franchisees forits packs (11 franchisees) and mineral water (18 franchisees) that manufacture and distribute its brands. It
ahs also attempted to venture into direct distribution by engaging special trucks to transport its brands to
retail outlets. For instance, in Mumbai, it has 50 trucks plying between its factories and the outlets.
Besides, future plans include introduction of the same direct distribution system for its franchisees across
the country.
.
The fresh n juicy Frooti brand, is dominating the packaged fruit based drinks category since its launch in
1985. Frooti Mango, which has 75% market share in tetra packs, grew by a modest 4% in 2001 according
to ORG-Marg data. Larger pack sizes (1 liter) and more pure juices (such as orange and pineapple) would
soon appear under the Frooti brand, taking on the existing competitors in these flavours and sizes
brands such as Tropicana, Real and Onjus.
In keeping with market sentiments, cola biggies Coca Cola and Pepsi, too, are focusing on
innovation in their non-cola portfolio. Coca Cola has launched Maaza in pineapple and orange
variants in 125 ml tetra packs and large family packs. It recently started a new facility in Bareilly
to cater to the growing demand for Maaza in north and central India. It is learnt that the company
is also set to launch some "niche" products.

CONSUMERS DEMAND FOR FRUIT JUICES
As from the above analysis it if found that the 78% consumers consume fruit juices and they are
aware about it but the apparent side says 18% consumers who are aware of fruit juices like Real,
Tropicana, Leh Berry, Jumpin, N-Joi, mazza but not aware about the other fruit juices in the
market because of their less demand. The demand for fruit juices increases because of the
growing income of each individual and increase in purchasing capacity. The change in
consumption food habit has really affected the demand of fruit juices. The brand name which ha
s great influence towards sales. Most of the people says that real is the best brand and they will
go for real. Lesser people then real want to go for Tropicana and subsequently the demand
decreases among jump in and N-Joi . The various campaigns organized by the fruit juice
companies have also increased the consumption demand for fruit juices. It is obtained from the
primary research that65% of consumers prefer Real juice as compared to Tropicana, Leh Berry,
Jump in and N- joi. It is also observed that n-joi has lesser consumers attracted towards it shows
the lesser demand by consumers according to the various parameters which are explained in the
other analysis as follows. According to the demand of the product by the consumers the
producers increase their production by keeping in eye the past demand and competitors demand
in the prevailing market. Leh Berry and Tropicana has the same demand in the market because oftheir retail price in the market for which the consumers buy it. The promotional factor which as
great importance towards the demand of the fruit juices.

Key Issues and Current Trend
Segmentation and Positioning
In fruit drink industry, the drink is not for only few segments, its for the whole segment and
product is for all.
In India, compare to the carbonate drink market, Fruit drink market positioning their product
very well
Promotion:
Contrary to popular belief, advertising is as much a science as it is an art. As the primary
mode of communication between a company and its prospective customer, an advertisementmust connect to the consumer, and create in his mind an attractive image of the brand. The
average consumer gets lost in the vast sea of information, and is unable to differentiate one
product from another. Notwithstanding the scientific inputs that go into designing an
advertising campaign, some campaigns make history while others fail miserably.
Ads are no longer informative tools, but, there has been a shift in attention away from the
physical aspects and functional benefits of products to their symbolic associations,
expressiveness. Marketing has ventured into the emotional, the behavioral, and the
cognitive. Today, the primary objective of the ad is to create an image. The fierce
competition between cola giants PepsiCo and the Coca Cola Company (henceforth, Coca
Cola) - and the advertisement strategies adopted by them in India to establish their respective
brand imagesoffers an interesting insight into Image Advertising.

Brand Identity
The first step in understanding Image Advertising is to understand the image being created,
i.e. Brand Image. Brand Image is consumers perception of the brand in question. This
perception might actually be different from what the brand actually embodies the BrandIdentity. Advertising bridges the gap between Brand Image and Brand Image.
There are a number of tools available to explore the identity of a brand. One such tool is
Kapferers Prism (Exhibit 1). As shown in the exhibit above, there are many facets to a
brand. Kapferer identifies six key characteristics that together define the brand:
Physiquethe physical attributes of the brand
Personalitythe personification of the brand
Relationshipthe relationship between the consumer and the brand
Culturethe core values of the brand
Reflectionthe way consumers want to be perceived when using the brand
Self-Imagethe image that consumers have of themselves when associated
with the brand
A combination of these characteristics can be used to identify what the brand
ultimately stands for. These exercises were performed on a few brands each from
the stables of both PepsiCo and Coca Cola
Market trends and industry challenges
In order to survive in this environment, companies must consider the market trends that will
likely shape the industry over the next few years. This will help soft drink companies to
understand the challenges they will encounter and to turn them into opportunities for process
improvement, enhanced flexibility and, ultimately, greater profitability.
-
7/30/2019 Neww RESERCH PROPOSAL on Fruit Juice Market in India

Oxford School Of Management Page 34
Market trends for the soft drink industry can be summarized by six fundamental themes:
Changing consumer beverage preferences, featuring a shift toward health-oriented
wellness drinks.
Growing friction between bottlers and manufacturers in the distribution system.
Continually increasing retailer strength.
Fierce competition.
Complex distribution system composed of multiple sales channels.
Beverage safety concerns and more-stringent regulations.
Brand Portfolio Analysis
The brands in the portfolio of Pepsi and Coca Cola play an important role in terms of the overall
impact they have on brand recall and consumer loyalty. The framework developed herein
attempts to identify the importance of each brand in the portfolio and the role it plays.
In the case of The Coca Cola Company, Coca Cola is the core brand or the flagship brand. The
focus, therefore, is on capturing the maximum value that the brand can generate. In this case,
Mazza plays the role of a cover brand (Exhibit 3). Any spoof or threat on Coca Cola is countered
by Mazza. However, off late, Mazza is moving up the ladder to become a core brand in the
portfolio. The importance of a cover brand is that it allows for maintaining a planned advertising
strategy. This builds brand value and creates no confusion about brand proposition.
Brand Roles
In case of PepsiCo, Pepsi is the core brand or the flagship brand. However, Slice and Tropicana
have played the role of standalone brands. Therefore, Pepsi has to constantly respond to spoofs
and threats from other brands by tweaking or changing its planned advertising strategy. This
strategy may lead to confusion in minds of the consumer about the brand proposition. Such a
situation can be critical with regard to the connection a brand establishes with its target consumer
segment. Recent trend suggests at Slice taking up the role of a cover brand in the PepsiCo brand
portfolio.

factor affecting fruit juice company
Economic factor :
The deceleration of economic situation has direct impact on the Fruit Drink Company. It
causes the decrease in consumers purchasing power and their demand because people spend
less and try to save more. Therefore, the company loses its opportunity to expand thebusiness and generate less profit. Still, the hamburger crisis caused economic downturn to
most countries including Thailand. It was predicted that the amount of export will be
reduced. The economists suggested that the fruit drink exporters should diversify their
product to new markets or new geographical regions to reduce economic risk. China, a global
leader in exporting, is now facing with quality trust around the world. Therefore, it is the
opportunity for Thai exporters to make the global business expansion.
Political Factor:
Fruit juice beverages fall within the food category under the FDA. The government plays a
role within the operation of manufacturing these products in terms of regulations. There are
potential fines set by the government on companies if they do not meet a standard of laws.
Changes in laws and regulations, including changes in accounting standards, taxation
requirements, (including tax rate changes, new tax laws and revised tax law interpretations)and environmental laws in domestic or foreign jurisdictions.
Changes in the Fruit drink business environment. These include, without limitation,
competitive product and pricing pressures and their ability to gain or maintain share of sales
in the global market as a result of action by competitors.

Political conditions, especially in international markets, including civil unrest, government
changes and restrictions on the ability to transfer capital across borders.
Their ability to penetrate developing and emerging markets, which also depends on economic
and political conditions, and how well they are able to acquire or form strategic business
alliances with local bottlers and make necessary infrastructure enhancements to production
facilities, distribution networks, sales equipment and technology.
Social Factor:
Social factors greatly impact on fruit drink, as its a non-carbonated beverage it has to remainin line with the strict and stark differences of cultures the world over. Also, Fruit drink
companies have to communicate its image as a global brand so that the people can associate
it with themselves as something that connects the world together. Usually, the social
implications are seen in marketing campaigns for example certain countries have religious
festivals, so Companies have to keep in line with all those festivals in order to understand the
psyche of their market and how they can cash upon the opportunity.
Technological Factor:
With the advent of the new age in technology, companies have completely integrated
themselves with all the recent changes that have taken place. To mention a recent trend that
has greatly picked up and something that almost every business is turning toward is Social
Media. The social media explosion has allowed for increasingly interactive engagement with
the consumers with real time results so Fruit Drink has to stay ahead of all the developments
that take place with keeping in view how the youth of today utilizes technology for their
benefit and how can Fruit Drink Companies reach them in order to keep on increasing brand
recall and brand engagement.

Legal:
There can be many legal implications upon the beverage industry. I would cite one very
famous incident took place in India, where fruit drink companies have accused of usingcontaminated water, given a lab test that was done upon the water flowing into the Pepsi
factory that was located nearby an industrial estate. A massive recall was issued for the
products from shelves and then the product was tested costing the company many billions of
dollars upon the tests as India is a very major market.
Environmental:
These factors can affect Fruit Drink, but not immensely alter its trade and profit generation as
these factors affect agri-businesses much more directly.

Suggestion
Because of price conscious behavior fruit juice company can introduce tetra packs TCApacks to compete local venders
In fruit juice market domestic brands have issue with the quality of their products so they have
to solve quality problems
Fruit juice products always have issue of their expiry so that the company have to make
strong distribution channel in such a way that not harm the product.
They should be contract with the popular restaurant like MacDonalds, pizza hut, subways
and offer their product with them.
Packaging is the most important factor in success of the brands so company have to more
focus on the packaging.
Fruit Juice Company advertises their product with the use of their USP of healthy product.

pineapple, apple, grape and mixed fruit is high so generally students go for Tropicana ,Mango
Sip and Jumpin.These three brands serve the need of students if we consider the price as a prime
factor.

Tropicana without thinking anything. For the higherincome personnels price is not a prime
factor as studied from that consumer behavior study. On the other hand the behavior slightly
changes because of the packaging of the fruit juices.
