STP denotes Segmentation, Targeting, and Positioning. This study's main purpose is to demonstrate the STP concept's understanding and its importance in the success or failure of a Soft Drinks company. Examines the competitive role of Soft Drinks in the global soft beverage industry. Since they operate in over 200 countries, they have a simple choice as to whether their products are standardized worldwide and whether they can benefit from economies of magnitude and adapt their products to a given market. Many literature has been written about external and sometimes uncontrollable factors that could influence a plan to position companies. This particular report has been developed with two major sections. The study covered and explained STP's concept and why STP is essential in the international business area in the first segment. In the second segment, the report covered the issue of changing and adapting the STP concept of Soft Drinks in the global market and how the companies formulate new strategies in place of their original one according to the international market's demand and volatility. Besides, this segment covered those companies' main steps to capture local business and create and enhance their brand value by securing profit margins by maintaining productivity. Based on the understanding gathered from this study, the report finally explored the practices of Soft Drinks Company in regards to this particular study area and dug out the reasons for changing and adapting its SPT strategy in the international marketplace and the underlying impact of this adaptation practices focusing on the distribution channel of Soft Drinks in overseas localized markets. These specific factors help Soft Drinks to established financial growth in the global market. The study's main limitation is the lack of enough analysis for Soft Drinks as STP analysis only a small part of the strategical analysis.
