TSB was hired by a leading Asian FMCG firm to analyze and advise on a potential new product launch of an aerated beverage. The brand in question had a portfolio of juices, candies, wafers and chips, and the one product absent from the portfolio was an aerated drink.

TSB consultants studied the target markets of the brand in 6 Asian countries - India, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan and Indonesia. Primary surveys were conducted with the target audience to better understand what they looked for in 'on-the-go' Beverages, and if they were fiercely loyal to either of the two leading beverage companies in the world. This coupled with secondary analytics to size the beverage industry in the above markets, created a robust roadmap for launching the products, in order of priority in four out of the 6 markets, doing away with the last two, since those markets didn't present a compelling business case for a new entrant. Advanced econometric and forecasting software tools were used to add more value to our research and provide relevant and actionable recommendations to the client.
