Case Study: This presents a huge window of opportunity to generate
maximum growth during the season. The reason beverage majors are focusing on the juices
category, is because of the most noticeable trend of a rise inhealth consciousness among consumers.
In the 660-millioncase juice market in India, lemon has
emerged as the number one flavour with a 48% share. The lemon drink category presents a huge untapped
opportunity.
For instance the brand LMN has created a category of its ownand not eaten into existing categories.
It seems the older generation has started experimenting withproducts and services traditionally meant for the youngergeneration.
Marketers need to keep tabs on how conscious customers are,in terms of the value they derive from brands. In thiscompetitive market it is clear that customers will pay more for
value.

The flavoured milk market, estimated at about Rs 250-crore,has brands like Amul Kool, Nestles Milkmaid Funshake, MTR,Yakults probiotic milk and Danones chocolate smoothie ChocoPlus, as also many local ones.

Coke would have toconduct a customerexperience surveywherein the perception ofcoke as a milk basedbrand would have to be
evaluated. However, the Minute Maid
category has alreadycome to be representedas Cokes non carbonated
beverage branch. To keep up with the image
of coke as a carbonateddrink, it launched its fizzydrink in the US. (troublefor pepsi!!)

Coke:
Since Maaza is already a
pretty established brand, itcan serve as a goodtagline.
In fact, Maaza milkydelight can be segmented
as a health based milkbeverage.
If so, it can be promotedacross local hoardings.
Traditionally, carbonated
drinks are cool and thus,Maaza is generallyuncommon in youngsters.
Thus, the milky versioncan have a target market
as grown up adults.
