for 1.25% of the world's population and 37.34% of the population lives in urban areas In 2021, Vietnam's population is expected to increase by 830,246 people and reach 98,564,407 people by early 2022 (according to data from the United Nations) In the population structure of Vietnam, the age group 15-24 accounts for the majority compared to other age groups The population pyramid in 2020 is not much different from 2010, but the number of people aged 20-34 has begun to increase significantly PepsiCo Company tends to mainly target young teenagers and especially in the age group of 15-30, so in the Vietnamese market, it is a market full of potential customers Thanks to the design image of the logo, then the famous slogan "choice of the new generation", eye-catching products, attractive advertising campaigns These strategies have helped Pepsi become one of the most influential beverage companies in the Vietnamese market b) -Economical factors: According to Vietnam's economic statistics in 2020: • GDP growth: 2.91% • GDP per capita: 3,500 USD • Inflation rate in 2020 increased by 2.31% compared to the average in 2019 Vietnam's economy is developing, so consumer demand for food and drinking water is also increasing On average, each person needs about liters of water per day, so the need for drinking water is essential in human life Around the beginning of the 90s, when Vietnam began to open up the market, there was hardly a brand of soft drink in the country besides the brand "xa xi" dating from before 1975 and later with the brand name Tribeco are mostly handmade brands At that time, Pepsi started to penetrate the Vietnamese market, and immediately dominated the Vietnamese market from the South to the North All small soft drink companies in Vietnam immediately went bankrupt with a simple trick of Pepsi, which is "big discount promotion" With low prices, plus the reputation of "world-leading" quality, Pepsi surpassed all Vietnamese competitors in a short time After that, Pepsi proceeded to establish a nationwide distribution system In addition to the agents, Pepsi has access to most of the cafes, which promote and consume a large amount of Pepsi soft drinks Source:(https://vef.vn/the-gioi/2011-12-24-coca-pepsi-cuoc-thu-hung-tai-thi-truongviet-nam/19766/) However, now things are not as easy as before Now, domestic manufacturers are also developing strongly, plus the fierce competition of Coca Cola, so Pepsi also has difficulty in consuming In addition, the economic situation is also affected by the current Covid epidemic, which has made it difficult for Pepsi managers to have effective marketing strategies c) Political and legal factors: In Vietnam: By accumulating and supplementing international laws: Anti-monopoly law, intellectual property rights, patents, etc., Vietnamese law is gradually improving to create a healthy competition between domestic and foreign companies country The State's investment support and encouragement policies create opportunities and challenges for PepsiCo and businesses in the Vietnamese market: Opportunities: Expanding production scale nationwide thanks to borrowing capital from state banks In addition, through services and advertising channels to bring their products close to the public Challenges: Fierce competition from other corporations In addition, it is necessary to ensure the demand for food safety from consumers, and to advertise honestly and with culture in the context of an enhanced consumer status d) Sociocultural factors: Vietnamese consumers have the following characteristics: + Focus on health: Vietnamese people's eating habits are changing more and more in a more positive direction In addition to eating well, eating well, Vietnamese consumers are also

Westerners Vietnamese consumers prefer carbonated soft drinks with rich sweetness, strong carbonate concentration creating a feeling of refreshment, while Westerners prefer a lighter taste Pepsi has grasped that and immediately met the taste habits of Vietnamese people + Vietnamese people love football and always follow domestic and foreign football matches, especially football matches of the national team Pepsi has captured this culture and launched appropriate advertising shows The most obvious is when launching the slogan "Drinking Pepsi is to support the Vietnamese national team to reach the international arena", Pepsi's sales immediately skyrocketed + Young people today are increasingly interested in entertainment with video games and often follow e-sports tournaments This is
