Introduction: The smoothie industry one of fastest growing new business concepts. The fast food industry is growing at an annual rate of 3 percent, while the fresh juice and smoothie sector is growing at an annual rate estimated at 30 percent. Jamba Juice offer customers a healthy, quick service food concept ideal for health conscious customers. Jamba Juice is a chain of specialty restaurants. As the name suggests, Jamba Juice is retailer that sells a variety of different types of juice drinks and smoothies. JJ's goal is to provide customers with a healthy alternative to fast food that tastes great, is convenient, nutritious, and suited for their customers' active lifestyles. Jamba Juice does not sell anything that customers could not make for themselves at home.

With a lot of imitators entering the business, all of whose names began with the word "juice," Perron wanted to distinguish the company from the pack. Moreover, Jamba Juice became a store concept that offered a hipper, festive, more Starbuck-like quality, a decided move away from a bland health store look. The word "jamba" means "to celebrate" in Swahili, and in turn Jamba Juice celebrated a healthy lifestyle. The brightly colored decor of the new stores and the smoothie names contributed to the effort to brand the Jamba Juice sensibility

Perron says. I'm surprised there aren't more companies creating a culture beyond selling, [offering] a soulful experience for the customer. That's been the basis for our success.

MARKET SEGMENTATION AND POSITIONING
India is the second largest market for foods and vegetables in the world. The production of fruits account for 48.5 million tones. However, the fruit juice market has not been fully tapped because of poor infrastructure and storage facilities, and highly unorganized market.
However, with people turning more health conscious, non-carbonated beverages have become one of the fastest growing businesses. The major growth drivers in fruit juice market are increase in health consciousness, disposable incomes, and more sophisticated cocktail culture.

Geographic segmentation:
The fruit juice market share is concentrated in the metros like Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkataand Chennai; mini metros like Benguluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chandigarh,Ahmadabad and small cities like Ludhiana, Amritsar and Jalandhar. The growth of the fruit juice market increased with the proliferation of the supermarkets and malls in the metros and mini-metros.

Demographic segmentation:
The regular consumers of fruit juices are children, educated housewives, executives, working professionals, young health-conscious adults and the ageing population. The fruit juice companies have targeted all the age groups by different juices
Fruit juices are an instant source of energy which helped in tapping the sportspersons and kids who are actively involved in sports.The increasing cost of health care has helped widen the customer base to the ageing population. Also, as fruit juices are rich in energy and nutrients, ill and post-surgery patients on liquid diet have increased the customer segment.

Socio-economic segmentation:
The fruit juice market has shown a tremendous growth in the recent years. One of the major reasons for this is the increase in the disposable income.

Psycho graphical segmentation:
Healthy living is a growing trend.However, fruit juices have more to offer than just health. They provide an easy gateway to a healthy lifestyle. Consuming fruit juices is almost an effortless switch compared to dieting or exercising and it does not require major behavioral change. Active and health oriented people are no longer the primary consumer of fruit juices. Nowadays, the consumer base for fruit juices is broader. These products attract a wide range of consumers ranging from those having specific health needs to those simply looking for healthy refreshments. In the next few years, the fruit juice industry will be challenged by these savvy, confident and opinionated consumers. They no longer see these beverages as simple thirst quenchers with health benefits. They see these products serving other needs that fit a simple and logical proposition, such as ease of preparation, high level of availability, ergonomic packaging, portability, and other factors that make up an individual's perception of value.
However, despite of health benefits, some youngsters love to drink only carbonated soft drinks. The increased consumer interests in fruit juices can also be attributed to the addition of minerals, vitamins and herbs associated with health, vigor, longevity and enhanced quality of life,. There is a niche which is now demanding more top quality premium products and produced with added vitamins, minerals, fibs, soy or omega-3. There are niche customers who take juice as a part of their diet and do not bother about the taste.

Demographic:
The brand’s consumer section is broadly divided into two segments. Primary segment:
Consists of children in the age group of 4-12 years.

Secondary segment:
Consists of all adults in section A+B * who love fruit based, non carbonated drinks.
Psychographic:The youth segment was targeted with sub-segments:
Pre-teens (9-12)
Teenagers (12-15)
Above teenagers (16-19)
These are the new impulse category. The sporty and fun- loving nature of the teens and their likings of hanging out together while drinking fruit juices or other soft drinks were taken into account.

•For many consumers, flavor is the deciding factor. While orange, apple andmango dominate the market, other juices such as grapefruit, watermelonand orange-carrot combination are also appealing to some.
Conclusion:
•Product development and positioning will need to become more targeted,shifting from mass market to a mass customized approach in whichparticular audiences are identified by lifestyle, ethnic group and otherfactors. Thus, the fruit market is very lucrative. Among the market drivers arethe increasing cost of healthcare, ageing population, consumer health
