income and a rise in disposable income. Focusing on mergers, new product launches, and
acquisitions to achieve a competitive advantage is becoming increasingly important for key
industry participants.
Increasing health concerns surrounding sugar intake in packaged beverages may affect the
beverage sector, but as a result, the leading market companies are launching non-alcoholic and
zero-sugar based products to capture the untapped market and remain competitive.

Cannabidiol (CBD) drug in Food & Beverages sold in interstate commerce. However, many
beverage makers are using CBD in their beverages through subsidiaries, infused products.
Latest trends and issues of the Coca-Cola:

employees, reshaping the brand portfolio by reducing the number of portfolio offerings
to half of the current number
• Coca-Cola’s new strategy is to gain competitional advantage by presenting in

restaurants. Currently, 40.43% restaurants offer Coca-Cola on their menus

Brand Elements
Branding is an important aspect of any business, and the beverage industry is no exception. In the
beverage industry, there are several key elements that contribute to a company's brand and help it
stand out in a crowded market.
First and foremost, the name of the company and the names of its products are crucial branding
elements. A catchy and memorable name can go a long way in helping a company, and its products
stand out from the competition. For example, names like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Red Bull are
instantly recognizable and have become synonymous with the beverage industry. The iconic
Coca-Cola logo is instantly recognizable, with its distinctive red and white colours and Spencerian
script. This logo has been used by the company since its founding in 1886 and has become one of
the most recognizable logos in the world.
Another important element of branding in the beverage industry is the packaging of the product.
The design and color scheme of a beverage's packaging can play a big role in attracting customers
and differentiating a product from its competitors. For example, Coca-Cola's iconic red and white
color scheme is immediately recognizable and has become a key part of its brand identity. The
color red is associated with energy, excitement, and passion, which aligns with the brand's
positioning as a fun and enjoyable beverage. The bottle has a unique shape that is easily
recognizable and has been a vital element of the brand's packaging since the early 1900s.
In addition to the name and packaging, the flavour and ingredients of a beverage can also play a
role in its branding. Some companies may be into tea or coffee, while others may be into fruit-
based or carbonated drinks. The sugar content is another way to look at it. A company may
emphasize the natural, organic ingredients in its products to appeal to health-conscious consumers.
Finally, a company's marketing and advertising campaigns can also be crucial to its branding
efforts. A well-designed and effective advertising campaign can help to build awareness of a
company and its products and can help to create a positive image in the minds of consumers. The
campaigns can be around taglines that can vary in domestic and international markets. In India,
Coke had tag lines like "Thanda Matlab Coca-Cola" and "Open Happiness" in global markets.
"Open Happiness" captures the joy and happiness associated with drinking a Coke. This slogan
has become closely associated with the brand and is often used in conjunction with the Coca-Cola
logo.
Overall, branding is an essential part of the beverage industry. Companies must carefully
consider these elements to effectively differentiate themselves from their competitors and
establish a strong brand identity
Technological Innovation in Beverage Industry
Over the past fifty years, there has been a gradual change in beverages. As a result of technical
development, technology has been created to take the role of manual labor along the chain.
With smart factories and artificial intelligence in robots, smart technologies are ushering in a
new digital era for the beverage industry.
Key players include automation and digitalization. Raw material processing is the first step.
Scales, flow meters, and stylus type charts are used to take measurements. The technology used
in beverage processing facilities nowadays is highly complex, with systems that are
programmed to automatically control the sorts of materials used, their quantities, and even
temperatures for the majority of products. Digital packaging displays have also become popular,
such as the packaging of products at gas stations. Digital status acknowledgment and automated
measures have largely taken the place of manual management and attention in operations.
Intelligent Manufacturing with IoT-enabled Technologies

Manufacturers of beverages and foods are benefiting from the so-called fourth industrial
revolution because to automation and the Internet of Things (IoT). The rapid development of
robotics and other intelligent technology has decreased production costs, increased productivity,
and improved worker safety.
With the help of intelligent sensors installed on packaging lines, beverage packets may be filled
in a variety of sizes and swap forms instantly. Producers of beverages can keep an eye on their
supplies and track the condition of the filling machinery for preventive maintenance.
Using Big Data to Ensure Consistency Across Products

Big data has the potential to be a key tool for the beverage industry in terms of enhancing supply
chain insights. Organizations now have access to an online platform that gathers real-time data
and assists them in determining the best ways to optimize the production of smoothies, soft
drinks, and other beverages thanks to the development of resource planning software.
For instance, Coca-Cola is no stranger to data analytics. The company uses the Black Book
model, an algorithm, to ensure that their orange juice stays the same quality and taste throughout
the year, even when oranges aren't in season. It does this by collecting information on crop
yields, weather, sweetness, acidity, and satellite photos before determining the most effective set
of techniques for maximizing juice output for consumers around the world.
