Health and hygiene concerns driving the demand on liquid soap

BATH AND SHOWER : KEY TRENDS

campaigns to promote the germicidal properties of liquid soap.

• Dabur India launched Fem Safe Handz, an instant hand sanitiser

which

offers protection against bacteria and viruses.
Realizations are increasing due to increase in commodity inflation
and movement towards expensive liquid soap and shower gel.

•Increasing Realizations
• Average unit prices continued to increase, mainly due to
commodity inflation, which led to increases in the prices of the
main ingredients of such products, including oils and glycerine.

wash/shower gel, which are comparatively more expensive than
other products, pushed unit prices even higher.

35
BISCUITS : KEY TRENDS

Cookies the Fastest growing segment


• Value sales of cookies registered the fastest growth, driven by higher
consumption and a preference of cookies among children.
•The expansion of chained grocery stores and increase in product offerings,
such as more imported brands on retailers‟ shelves, was another key driver
behind growth in cookies.
Innovations in Savories and Crackers
• The industry witnessed considerable innovation in savoury biscuits and
crackers. The launch of Aliva by Frito-Lay, the snack food division of PepsiCo
in 2009, introduced baked crackers to consumers.
•Parle Products introduced sugar-free cream crackers.
• Consumers are moving towards savoury biscuits and crackers which have
added health benefits.

36
BISCUITS : KEY TRENDS

Dominance of Plain Biscuits


• Plain biscuits is the largest category in biscuits.
• The popularity of plain biscuits was mainly due to their affordability.
• However, its growth was slowest among sweet biscuits as plain biscuits is
relatively mature and there was less product innovation in this category.
New Launches in Premium price points
• Players focusing on premium launches to drive up value sales. For example
PepsiCo launched its global Quaker Oats brand of premium
cookies at a price point of Rs30.
ITC launched two products under its Sunfeast brand, Dark
Fantasy Choco Fills and Dark Fantasy cream biscuits, which
were priced Rs30 and Rs20 respectively.
Britannia also launched a cream biscuit brand, Treat-O, in
addition to its other premium launches such as Diabetes
Friendly Essentials and Chocodecker.
• The launches in the premium segment are expected to be
successful, because urban consumers are increasingly looking
37 for varieties and better quality products.
BISCUITS : KEY TRENDS

Dominance of Parle and Britannia


• Parle and Britannia derive their dominance from wide range of products
while others focus mainly on niche segments.
•These 2 companies also have the greatest reach in terms of distribution.
•The above 2 reasons make biscuits a very difficult category for new players.
•ITC has been the only exception to penetrate this category in a big way over
the last 5 years.

BOTTLED WATER : KEY TRENDS
•Still bottled water is the only product. Flavored or functional water are
sold in negligible quantities.
•Fastest growing product category in soft drinks
• High awareness of safety and hygiene, poor quality of tap water driving
sales.
• Few years back only high income groups were the target segment but
today middle classes, tourists and travelers also consume bottled water.
•Prices have remained constant or increased very little. Because there is
very little customer loyalty and the customer could easily shift to other
brands.
•Distribution is the key to be competitive. All the top 3 players have strong
distribution network. In 2011, Parle Bisleri launched Bisleri hubs to drive
consumption, with local stationery shops and dairies exclusively selling the
Bisleri brand.

FMCG INDUSTRY : CHARACTERISTICS

•One of the extremely competitive industry. Very difficult for new players
to enter and make a big impact. (ITC is yet to become profitable in their
FMCG business even after 10 years)
•Very diverse industry. Analysis should happen on category by category
basis because trends, brands and players differ significantly across the
categories.
•There are strong MNCs and also strong Indian players.
•In the last 5 years the growth rates has been 16%. It has picked up
•compared to the previous 10 years.
•This sector is relatively immune to recession.
•The growth in FMCG depends on several factors - Penetration levels,
Per capita consumption, Per capita income increase, Urban and Rural
proportion
66
Opportunities in Low Penetration and Low-per Capita Consumption Categories

•There is immense opportunities in several categories on account of low


penetration level and low per capita consumption.
•Despite having high penetration level, categories like detergent soap,
personal soap and washing powder have low per capita consumption
therefore change in the consumption pattern will drive these categories.
•Apart from this, categories like oral care, shampoo, skin cream, deodorant
and packaged juice etc where penetration level and per capita consumption
both is low.
•Therefore, these categories have enormous opportunity to grow through
addition in consumer base as well as change in the consumption pattern.

67
Penetration levels of many FMCG products like Ketchups, juices etc are much
less than even 10%

EFFECTIVE STRATEGY REGARDING POWER BRANDS

•The over dependence on a brand or few brands (for sales and margins) can
create trouble for the company in the long term.
•It is important to have multiple power brands like HUL
•High Dependence : Nestle, Marico and Jyothy Labs
•Medium Dependence : Emami and Colgate
•Low Dependence : HUL and Dabur
•HUL has managed the power brands better. They have done brand
extensions so that the power brands do not depend on one category. Ex:
Dove, Lux, Lifebuoy
