Introduction
Bundaberg Brewed Drinks Pty Ltd, a family owned business in Australia must seek its expansion to the other countries by penetratin
g into international markets. After conducting an in-depth analysis of the international markets, it is recommended that Bundaberg Brewed Drinks must expand its business to the Russian market. This is so because the market for non-alcoholic soft drinks in Russia still has the huge potential to grow, when compared to countries like Saudi Arabia. It is also recommended that Bundaberg must enter into collaboration with its competitors like Pepsi and Coca Cola to penetrate the Russian soft drinks market. This marketing plan will help Bundaberg to identify a suitable target market and will suggest a positioning strategy within the Russian market. The marketing plan shall further discuss the marketing mix for Bundaberg and will highlight preferred modes of market entry.
Segmentation and Target Markets
Upon analysing the soft drink market of Russia, it can be inferred that the Russian market for the soft drink and non-alcoholic drinks still has a large potential to grow. The annual growth rate of the soft-drink industry in Russia id estimated to be 10.5%, which is nearly 5% more than the growth rate of countries like Saudi Arabia. Therefore, there is a huge potential for Bundaberg to expand its business and market reach in Russia (Cision PR Newswire, 2018).

Revenue from the soft-drinks market in Russia is estimated to be US$ 2561 million, which is 0.38%, when converted to percentage. Though the revenue being earned is not as much as other countries but the growth potential of the market is relatively high and therefore, it can act in the favour of Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, as it will be a new entrant for this market. Furthermore, on analysing the society and culture of Russia making use of the Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, it can be inferred that customers belonging to the society, where hierarchy is a matter of status as in, the case of Russia, market customers in this kind of society value brands and reputations a lot (Kozlova, Olenina & Terentev, 2019). Market will take advantage of brand quality and reputations (Hoyer et al., 2020).
It also evident from the analysis that Russian society and culture is collectivist in nature, therefore the buying decisions of the consumers are largely influenced by the groups, to which they belong. It can be understood from the statistics that people in Russia do not like to be in ambiguous situations and therefore, somehow act resistant to innovation. In addition to this, Bundaberg must focus on collaborating and cooperating with competitors like Coca Cola in the market, this will help Bundaberg carry on its expansion plan in the soft drinks market. Since, brand value means a lot to Russians Cooperate with big-name or famous companies, which already maintain considerable market share can help Bundaberg to quickly penetrate the market.
The market segmentation strategy of Bundaberg will depend largely on the health perceptions and buying behavior of the...
