THE REAL BURST…!!!

Dabur in the hope of increasing its market share in the soft drink market has launched a new product REAL BURST in the fruit drink segment.
Before we move ahead lets understand the structure of fruit drink market. The fruit drinks are classified in to 3 classes based on the content of fruit pulp, these are:

More than 85% of fruit pulp - Fruit juice (Real, Pulpy orange from MINUTE etc.)
20-85% of fruit pulp - Nectar (Tropicana)
Below 20% of fuit pulp - Fruit drink (Frooti, Maza, etc. )

It is a well known fact that Dabur is a market leader when it comes to the fruit juice segment with the market share of 53%...of course thanks to REAL and REAL ACTIVE.
The real burst is available in 4 flavors of mixed fruit, mango, apple and orange. It is available in 1 lit and 200 ml packages. Where the drinks as that of coke, pepsi Parle products target the “out-of-home” consumption market Dabur product will try to generate its revenue from “in-home-consumption”.

Positioned as: Light refreshment and thirst quencher.

Differentiation: carton packaging instead of well known tetra packaging also the pricing of the 200 ml available package which is 15Rs/-.

But real burst still have a long way to go will the strategy of its packaging, positioning , pricing will help the Dabur to achieve the goal of capturing 5% market share in 2-5 months…let’s wait and watch how it going to perform in the coming time.

  1. Interesting; but don t you think that the launch has happened a little later in the day, considering we are almost at the phase out period of summer and entering the Chilly and much awaited monsoon season??
