1.1. Company description
PepsiCo Inc. (PEP) is an American Food and Beverage company that is
available in more than 200 countries. The Pepsi-Cola Company and Frito-Lay,
Inc. amalgamated and formed Pepsico in 1965. PepsiCo and 7Up were the
company's two brands when it entered Vietnam in 1994. And Pepsico Vietnam
has held the greatest market share in Vietnam's beverage business since 2004.
1.2. The company’s mission
Offering savory, reasonably priced, practical, complementing foods and
beverages to the entire world, ranging from healthy breakfasts to snacks and
beverages for social gatherings in the evening. This implies that despite the many
cultural backgrounds of its customers, the business makes an effort to offer goods
that appeal to everyone. It succeeds in integrating the value proposition with a
social marketing perspective while focusing on the value proposition that will
ultimately lead to customer satisfaction.
1.3. The company’s vision
Ensuring financial prospects, this claim demonstrates Lays' primary driving
force for continuous development, which focuses on upholding its obligations to society and consumers. 2. Body 2.1. Macro Environment 2.1.1. Demographic
According to a report by market researcher Decision Lab, In Vietnam, Gen Z
holds the largest market share for packaged foods. Nguyen Chi Dung, the
minister of planning and investment. Permanent Deputy Chair of the Central
Steering Committee for the Housing and Population Census noted that in 2019,
Vietnam is a country at a time when the population's gold structure,
comprising those aged 15 to 24, makes up 68% of the total. A wide pool of 1
potential customers means that snack companies, particularly Lay's, will sell
more packaged goods. In 2020, there will be 7.4 million senior persons in
Vietnam, or 7.7% of the entire population. By 2050, there will be 22.3 million
senior persons in Vietnam or 20.4% of the total population. One of the nations
in the world that is aging the fastest is Vietnam. Additionally, as older
customers care more about their health, an aging population could pose a
threat to Lay's packaged food businesses in the future. 2.1.2. Economic
The GDP surpassed 400 billion USD for the first time in 2022. The General
Statistics Office estimates that the GDP per capita in 2022 would be 95,6
million VND per person, which is equal to 4,110 USD, a rise of 393 USD from
2021. Vietnam's GDP in particular had a significant boost in 2022. in the past
12 years with an increase of 8.02% over the previous year.
Figure 1: Vietnam’s GDP Growth 2011-2022 from the General Statistics Office
Regarding GDP use in 2022, final consumption increased by 7.18%
compared to 2021, contributing 49.32% to the overall growth rate. In 2022, the
country's labor force will consist of 51.7 million individuals, up 1.1 million
from the previous year. The country's overall unemployment rate for working-
age people will be 2.32% in 2022. This could be a chance for a product to
boost productivity while also raising the caliber of a brand-new product. 2
Figure 2: Vietnam's Unemployment rate 2020-2023 from Trading Economics
The predicted total retail sales of products and services for consumers in
2022 will be VND 5,679 trillion, 19.8% increase from the current year. Despite
a gain of at least 5.7% per person, salaries here remain lower than in other
Asian nations, Many people in the nation are eager to work for the $260
federal minimum wage. Products like Lay's, which low-income customers can
use as an affordable snack at work or school, so there's still another opportunity. 2.1.3. Natural
Due to natural conditions along with climate change, environmental pollution
has brought disadvantages to people, especially in the food production
industry. Along with climate change, the area and production of potatoes are
decreasing in many parts of the world. According to information, with each
product, Lay's introduces a new recipe for french fries. Thereby attracting and
meeting the diverse consumption needs of customers. With the main
ingredient being fresh potatoes, potato snack companies, in which Lay's is no
exception, have encountered many inadequacies in terms of production process
and quantity. If the potato is not of good quality, it will not be able to make
delicious chips to meet the needs of consumers. 2.1.4. Technological
In 2022, the e-commerce industry will reach 16.4 billion USD, an increase of
20% compared to 2021. Along with that, about 57-60 million Vietnamese
people participate in online shopping with average shopping value. Therefore, 3
products with market share like Lay's should pay more attention to this
growing industry, as the industry is in its infancy and has great potential. As
mentioned, Lay's also focuses on improving technology in potato farming in
Vietnam. The company has also continuously invested in researching potato
varieties suitable for Vietnam's climate for many years in order to bring high
quality potato products according to international standards in Vietnam. 2.1.5. Political/Legal
Since 2018, the Vietnamese government has fulfilled its promise, based on
the signing of ATIGA, to reduce import duties on special products, including
confectionery, from ASEAN countries to almost zero. In addition, after
signing the EVFTA in 2019, EU countries will enjoy similar incentives for
these specific items. This increases competition in Vietnam's already crowded
packaged food market, with established brands like Lay's looking to indirectly
avoid losing market share to rivals in the packaged food sector, package.
In 2022, the Government signed and promulgated 17 decrees on the
Preferential Export Tariff and the Special Preferential Import Tariff of
Vietnam. These decrees aim to implement 17 agreements for 2022-2027, per
the List of export and import goods of Vietnam under AHTN 2022 as provided
for in Circular No.31/2022/TT-BTC dated 08/08/13. June 2022 of the Ministry of Finance. 2.1.6. Cultural
Food quality is of great importance to Vietnamese people. They consciously
maintain a healthy diet and avoid consuming junk and unhealthy products like
Lay's, which can lead to a drop in potential sales. In addition, during the
holidays, and cultural events, the foreign confectionery market in Vietnam
grew steadily. However, big names such as Kinh Do, Hai Ha, Bibica, Huu
Nghi, Orion Vietnam dominate the confectionery market with an estimated 75-
80% market share, the remaining 20-25% are imported confectionery. Recent
surveys show that Vietnam is home to the fastest-growing snack market in the
world. Younger generations in the country have changed from the traditional
three-meal-a-day routine, opting for six smaller meals instead. They tend to 4
consume more junk food, about eight times a week on average, and spend
about $0.7 each time. While 86% of consumers prioritize portion control and
have clear ingredient information when choosing junk food, a Nielsen report
shows that Vietnamese young people still spend up to VND 13,000 billion on junk food every month.
In the past few years, due to the impact of the epidemic, Vietnamese
consumers are gradually turning to healthy snack products. This suggests that
there are more indirect competitors to Lay's who should Lay’s has more
indirect competitors more aware of threats not from isolated market share, but
as a possible synergistic force. some market share. 2.2. Micro Environment
2.2.1. Marketing Environment a) Company
With Pepsi-Cola as its flagship product, Pepsico is one of the leading
companies in the food and beverage industries. As a result, Lay's could
potentially have a huge opportunities for taking advantage of the halo effect
in their advertising. Pepsico may exploit the positive reputation it has built
over the years to diversify into savory snacks like potato chips. Lay's could
benefit from the name recognition of its parent firm to cut costs on
marketing and increase consumer loyalty. b) Suppliers
As the stated best potato chip in the world, Lay's needs to maintain a
sufficient supply of sustainable suppliers to meet the country of Vietnam's
rising demand for savory snacks. Potatoes are effectively produced in 28
countries worldwide using regenerative agriculture techniques and
innovative farming equipment to assure consistent and high-quality output.
The three potato farms in Da Lat, Dak Lak, and Gia Lai have demonstrated
promise for effective and increasing yields as well as crops that match
international standards through training and technical assistance from Pepsico Foods Vietnam. 5
Potatoes are imported from all over the world in addition to the primary
raw material, but the supplier prefers that potato products be offered locally
to customers. As a result, finding potato types that thrive in a climate like
Vietnam is always challenging, and suppliers must make sure that their
goods live up to brand standards and are safe. on conformity and quality.
PepsiCo gives every adjustment maximum importance.
In order to meet 75% of domestic demand, Vietnam's farms can produce
more than 200,000 tons of potatoes annually. As a result, this may have a
significant effect on the farmer's quality of life and their personal finances
also the development of a sustainable supply chain for the item.
In 2020, PepsiCo decided to expand its potato growing program to a
province with a climate and soil more suitable for this crop, which is
expected to expand during the initial phase of the program to provide
additional produce. quantity. By 2023, production is expected to double in the producing provinces.
2.2.2. Marketing Intermediaries a) Resellers
In addition to the popularity of Lay’s potato chips in foreign countries,
there are also all over Vietnam. Their resellers are diverse, ranging from
supermarkets like Coopmart, Aeon, Lottemart, and Megamall,… and
convenience stores like Circle K, Family Mart, Ministop,… to e-commerce
platforms: Shopee, LazaLa, Tiki,… Not only do these retailers sell Lay’s,
but many traditional grocery stores also sell Lays. Also, as a reason for
globalization, there has been a recent trend of online shopping in Vietnam. 6

accounting for 25% of the workforce in Vietnam and has promoted products
through various entertainment media such as Youtube, Facebook, and
Instagram,... to get closer. A typical example is the Lay's Crispy Subtitles
