The CSD Industry has historically been so profitable because threat of new entrants is low. Start-up
costs are hundreds of millions of dollars. Federal regulations and licensing restrict new players, and
distribution channels are difficult to establish. Bargaining power of suppliers are low because there
are plenty of them making switching between them easy and cheap. Bargaining power of buyers is
also low due to franchising agreements, territory barriers and pouring rights. Intensity of rivalry is
also low even though it’s very competitive between the top players. The only downfall to this
industry is the threat of substitutes which has illuminated the importance of health and fitness. The
growth of this industry has been stagnant because of these new trends. However, advertising
campaigns and brand loyalty have caused the main players to thrive.
