Competitive analysis
Swot analysis Opportunities Strengths Product Category Limitations Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Product Category Limitations Controversial due to ingredients used Only 2 manufacturing facilities worldwide Category Leader Broad Geographic Presence Buzz Marketing Strategy Strong alliance with major distributors Lesser price Competitors High Marketing Costs Strict Regulations against energy drinks Premium pricing may not work in Emerging Markets Emerging Markets New Production facilities New product categories
Survey results Only 57% respondents had tasted Red Bull, till now. 83% of respondents bought Red Bull from a Retail Outlet and only 9% from Bars/Lounges. 54% of respondents were impulsive buyers. They bought Red Bull just to quench their thirst. 25% of respondents agreed that it revitalized their mind and body.
Strategic challenges Not easy at the top Health Regulators Will Premium pricing work in Emerging Markets? Breaking with tradition
Recommendations Focus on horizontal and unrelated diversification to expand their product portfolio and reduce their risk Expand their target market to increase the market size, hence adopt a forward diversification form Relinquishing to some degree its highly centralised production model will help it to better compete in the emerging markets
