Monster has the ambition of the energy drink market that is to become a leader in volume of energy drinks by 2020 in France. A market at 223 million euros, much smaller than that of colas (1.37 billion euros), but very well valued with the highest price per liter (3.11 euros) of the BRSA market. For the moment, this category is arch-dominated by Red Bull while Monster, 16.7% owned by Coca-Cola (the rest being Monster Beverage Corporation, the Californian company creator of the brand), rules the quarter of sales. There is therefore much to be done for Monster to overtake Red Bull, even if the market share of the first one progresses when that of the second one goes back down.

Monster will soon shoot down one of his master cards to achieve his goal. The brand will expand with Monster Hydro, which will be the first non-carbon energy drink on the French market. Marketed for a year in the United Kingdom, a country where these products have existed for a long time, Monster Hydro is aimed at a wider audience than the classic Monster, which is mainly for a male and young target. "We want to offer an energy drink to the 50% of French people who would like a different and flat energy drink", says one at Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP), which holds this figure from a February study commissioned from Harris Interactive.

Also, we added a third dimension, the brand size in term of market shares and brand recognition. This dimension allows to analyse how complex is the market sides for the close competitors and for the new entrants if some wants to p...

Coca-Cola Company strategically positioned to touch maximum consumers

Coca-Cola Company is one of the largest actors in the industry of the drinks and especially in the sport drinks. The group owns leadership positions across key categories. As seen in the article where we present the perceptual map of the sports drinks, Coca-Cola succeed to realise a very good marketing strategy. In fact, since years, the group is following a diversification strategy by increasing its portfolio through the creation and the acquisition of drink brands. Then, those brands are repositioned or more deeply placed in their position by the group using its knowledge and investing power. In our analysed market we can mention Powerade, the performance drinks which has been launched by Coca Cola in 1988. The drinks historically compete with Gatorade, the Pepsi & Co brand. In 2007, Coca-Cola announced the acquisition of Glacéau, a maker of flavored vitamin-enhanced drinks, VitaminWater, and Burn energy drinks, for $4.1 billion. In 2014, the group acquired so...
