The cola war between Coca-Cola and PepsiCo is a legendary example explaining the concept and importance of competitive analysis. Both companies have a long-standing rivalry since the 1900s.
The first products to compete were the cola-flavored soft drinks, Coke and Pepsi. When Coca-Cola entered the market with its orange-flavored drink, Fanta, Pepsi followed suit with its orange-flavored drink, Mirinda. Coca-Cola entered the juice market by acquiring Minute Maid in 1960, whereas PepsiCo acquired Tropicana in 1998.
Competitive marketing campaigns, similar product launches, and restaurant tie-ups have helped these brands position themselves and acquire a healthy market share. Newer brands wanting to enter the beverage market now must analyze what products or features can help them stand out from industry giants.
