MACRO MARKET ANALYSIS
The political and legal environment.
The political: The government has enacted a variety of measures to safeguard
consumers from unfair trading practices. They promulgated the Law on the Protection of
Consumer Interests, which has 50 articles, in accordance with National Assembly
Resolution No. 51/2001/ QH10.
The legal: A stable political environment provides an opportunity to enhance the
market's scope, volume, and export potential. Vietnam's political system is relatively
stable. It is not only a positive indicator for coffee output, but it also attracts coffee dealers
as a reliable supplier of commodities.
Economic environment
The drop in global coffee demand stemmed from the economic downturn coupled
with a sharp drop in FMCG due to social distancing to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. In
February 2021, domestic coffee prices increased sharply in line with global coffee prices
and limited supply.
Socio-cultural environment
In today's Vietnamese coffee culture, there is a shift in how coffee is consumed in
terms of both taste and visuals. For example: Cans of coffee must be packaged in a handy
and appealing manner.
Technology environment
Science and technology advancements are also visible in the canned coffee industry:
When roasting coffee, you can have more precise control over the flavor. Using Tetra Pak
Group's world-leading production line (Sweden) and direct UHT sterilization technology.
This is the latest technology, ensuring safety for consumers' health and can retain the most
natural taste of coconut, meeting certifications such as FSSC 22000, BRC, FDA, HALAL,
KOSHER,...
Natural environment
The favorable climatic, geographical and soil conditions for the development of
coffee have made coffee a unique flavor: The South has a hot and humid tropical climate,
suitable for Robusta coffee.
At Betrimex, the coconut material area is developed right in Ben Tre & only 11-12
months old coconuts reach the harvest quality.
Population environment
Currently, Vietnam is a country with a large population, over 90 million people, a
thriving economy, and increased income. Therefore, the number of new households will
constantly increase, leading to a rapid increase in the demand for coffee.
1.4.
PORTER'S FIVE FORCES
Buyer power
Customers will buy this type of product in small quantities and are not price
sensitive. However, the growth rate of consumer demand for canned instant coffee is
increasing. Therefore, the customer strength of COCOCAFE is quite high.
Supplier power
The power provided in this case is very weak. Because COCOCAFE can easily
switch from one supplier to another. Currently, Betrimex is operating in the field of
coconut production and trading. Therefore, this is considered an advantage of
COCOCAFE because it is not dependent on external sources. In addition, the cost of
switching COCOCAFE suppliers is not too high.
Competition
Highlands and COCOCAFE have nearly the same audience and they have similar
products and strategies. However, the degree of difference between the two brands is high.
Highlands is already famous in the coffee market, so it becomes a direct competitor of
COCOCAFE.
Highland Coffee
BOSS Coffee
Coffee Nescafe - Nestlé
Positioning: Highlands Coffee
is still the most familiar name
with the nearly 20-year history
of accompanying Vietnamese
coffee culture, so the
appearance of convenient
canned coffee has become
popular, keeping the taste of
Vietnam
Positioning: As one of
Japan's No. 1 best-selling
canned coffee brands, with
more than 26 years of
experience, BOSS Coffee
distilled ingredients from
100% pure coffee beans,
giving you a sober spirit.
Positioning: NESCAFÉ
instant coffee is one of
Nestlé's most popular
products in Vietnam.
NESCAFÉ is one of the
top 5 instant coffee
brands with the highest
level of awareness,
leading with 35%.
Price: 12.000VND /235ml
can.
Price: 10.500VND /180ml
can.
Price: 10.000VND
/180ml can.
Table 1-1 Identify the main competitors
New Entrants
Besides the main competitor above, COCOCAFE is facing competitors such as:
BOSS Coffee, Nestlé Café, Trung Nguyen, Birdy…. These brands have been familiar to
consumers for a long time, cheap prices and familiar flavors. Therefore, potential barriers
to entry are quite high.
Threat of substitutes
The main substitute products of COCOCAFE are energy drinks, other flavored
coffee. The number of COCOCAFE substitutes is very high. Low switching costs for
customers. In addition, the replacement product quality is good. So, based on these
factors, the threat from substitute products is very strong.

Price
Pricing target
When we choose to trade in canned coconut coffee, our team proposes a price based
on the marketing goal of building a top image in terms of quality, maximizing profits and
achieving market size. as large as they want.
Valuation method

market share because canned coconut coffee is a consumer product with relatively low
prices right from the start. Low pricing to prevent competitors from entering the market;
setting selling prices on par with competitors to stabilize the market; low prices to attract
customers when offering new products; preferential pricing to seek the support and
cooperation of intermediaries.
