Market leadership- Within the energy drinks market Red Bull is theindustry leader throughout the world. Marketing Efforts- a lot of promotions andwell targeted campaigns and sponsorship e.g. formula 1 helps to expand Redbull brand and increase consumer brand awareness.
SWOT Analysis
WEAKNESSES: Above-average prices. Lack of innovation-Reliant on small product base- The company only markets one branded product Lack of patent on RBs recipe means anyone can copy it. Red bull loses out on women ,teen agers and seniors as these groups wont pay for a drink that doesnt include the ingredients they needs nor branded for theirlife style.
SWOT Analysis
OPPORTUNITIES: Launched as first energy drink. THREATS: Cocaine controversy. Caffeine controversy
Cocaine controversy
In April and June 2009, batches of "Red Bull Cola" drinks imported from Austria were found to contain between 0.1 - 0.3 micrograms of cocaine per liter. Testing of Red Bull Energy Drink and its variations has shown that a person with a low tolerance for cocaine would [theoretically] have to consume two million cans of the drink in a single sitting before becoming critically ill from the cocaine. However, this finding is legally irrelevant since distribution of cocaine is illegal in any quantity in Taiwan. At this point, no further action has been taken on the matter in Taiwan.
Caffeine controversy
The caffeine content of a single can of Red Bull contains 80mg/250ml of caffeine. This is about the same as one cup of normal coffee, or slightly less depending on the brewing method. As is the case with other caffeinated beverages, Red Bull drinkers may experience adverse effects as a result of overuse.
