6. Five Forces Analysis


The savory snacks market will be analyzed taking savory snack producers as players. The key buyers will be taken as
retailers including supermarkets, hypermarkets, and other smaller retailers, and manufacturers of ingredients and
packaging as the key suppliers.

6.1. Summary
Figure 8: Forces driving competition in the savory snacks market in India, 2018

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

High operating and exit costs drive up rivalry in this market, although the larger players also tend to be fairly well
diversified, alleviating this pressure somewhat. Moreover, strong growth of the Indian savory snacks market during
the review period decreased rivalry to an extent.
Suppliers in the savory snacks market range from agricultural producers to machinery manufacturers, and vary in size
accordingly. Market players can integrate backwards, but farmers also integrate forwards relatively frequently,
nullifying the resultant downward pressure on supplier power.
For new entrants, the existence of large, well-established incumbents presents a significant barrier to entry, although
it is increasingly possible to enter the market on a smaller scale with a more 'artisan' product. The primary reasons for
consumers to choose a snack are enjoyment, indulgence, and convenience. Recent innovation in sweets and snacks
has focused on creating permissible indulgence. Producers are aiming to differentiate by using natural, healthy and
sustainably sourced ingredients.
Products in this market face a strong threat of substitution by other snack foods, confectionery and beverages, largely
because switching costs for buyers tend to be low, and retailers are heavily influenced by end consumer demand.
Despite the significant size of the retailers, buyer power is however limited, as strong branding influences consumer
purchase decisions and retailers must follow consumer demand while stocking their shelves.

6.2. Buyer power


Figure 9: Drivers of buyer power in the savory snacks market in India, 2018

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

In contrast to many countries, the major buyers in the Indian savory snacks market are not supermarket chains, but
convenience stores, which account for 58.8% of the total distribution in 2018. This creates a more fragmented
marketplace, wherein a large number of small buyers wield scant financial muscle, and can marshal only limited
bargaining power when it comes to negotiating with market players. Losing a buyer of this sort is likely to have little
impact on a market player's revenues. All of this undermines buyer power.
Hypermarkets and supermarkets still constitute a significant distribution channel, with 21.1% of the total savory
snacks market value in 2018. Chains such as these usually occupy a fairly strong bargaining position due to their large
financial reserves and broad distribution networks. By comparison to independent retailers, losing the custom of a
supermarket chain can have a very significant impact on the fate of a market player. This increases buyer power.
Furthermore, savory snack products usually constitute just one of a wide range of items sold by most food retailers.
This reduces the importance of this product to buyers, increasing buyer power.
On the other hand, end consumers are highly influenced by branding in this market, and retailers are compelled to
stock the brands most popular with their customers. Strong branding therefore weakens buyer power in this market.
Overall, buyer power is assessed to be moderate.

Savory Snacks in India

Industry Profiles

6.3. Supplier power


Figure 10: Drivers of supplier power in the savory snacks market in India, 2018

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

Suppliers in the savory snacks market include agricultural commodity traders, agricultural producers, and
manufacturers of ingredients, packaging, and factory automation equipment.
Market players generally buy perishable raw materials, such as potatoes, direct from the growers, which are often
relatively small businesses that rely on market players for a large proportion of their revenues. This results in weaker
supplier power. However, vegetable oils and grains such as maize are more commonly provided by commodity traders
and these are often large multinationals and wield substantial negotiating power, resulting in a corresponding
increase in supplier power.
While market players rarely integrate backwards into farming, some have already become active in commodity
trading; a trend that weakens supplier power. Similarly, many market players manufacture ingredients, such as
flavorings. Conversely, some farmers integrate forward, particularly with artisanal products.
While consumer preferences must be catered for, players can mitigate the impact of changing raw material prices by
diversifying their product mix - for example, producing both potato chips and corn chips.
Leading players must maintain product quality if they are to maintain their brand equity in the long term. Moreover,
their need to source raw materials of appropriate quality, tend to strengthen those suppliers who are able to provide
the necessary products. However, lack of differentiation in commodity inputs weakens supplier power.
Overall, supplier power is assessed to be moderate.

6.4. Degree of rivalry


Figure 11: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the savory snacks market in India, 2018

SOURCE: MARKETLINE MARKETLINE

Leading competitors in this market generally tend to be large, often multi-national and diversified corporations. The
top four leading companies, PepsiCo, Haldirams, Bikaji Foods International Ltd. and Balaji Foods, constituted 29.2% of
market value in 2018. Notably, PepsiCo and Haldirams together managed to secure 37.4% of the total market value in
2018. These large companies dominate, but the market remains relatively fragmented.
Artisanal companies do exist and often operate in a market niche, offering products such as hand-cooked root
vegetable chips, although it should be noted these companies are often subject to acquisition by their larger
competitors, if they successfully establish themselves. This environment tends to foster an increased sense of rivalry.
Moreover, market players' similarity, the relative ease with which they can increase output, high operating and exit
costs due to the specialized nature of manufacturing equipment, and low switching costs for buyers, all exacerbate
rivalry further.
On the other hand, rivalry is toughened by the diversified nature of the larger businesses in the savory snacks market.
These companies are often deal in substitutes such as confectionery, and operate in a number of different
geographies. For example, PepsiCo sells a variety of food and beverage products and sells its products all around the
world. It should be noted that the benefits of this diversification are not often shared by the market's smaller players.
Very strong market growth during the review period tends to ease the competition to some extent. Overall, rivalry in
this market is assessed as moderate.
