Conclusion

Learning
Overall understanding of the Retail industry from a consumer point of view vis-à-vis
business objectives.
Buying
1) Indian Men prefer wearing Hip Briefs more than trunks. Sales mix reflects a 55%
contribution of Hip Briefs & survey shows 67%.
2) We see a contribution of 39% from prints/logos/colors. Consumers are moving to
fashionable preferences from the old solid colors. We also see this trend in the
suggestions asked.
43
Merchandising
3) Grade A+ stores have the least price sensitivity & also contribute to 31% of the
business. We can do more focus on these stores to generate more revenue.

Planogram
5) Men usually prefer buying more than two under wears at a time. So it is advisable to
keep higher depths of core styles in a store. We also see this from the UPT, close to 2.
6) With the growing market awareness, we should start pushing high MRP fashion to FSS
& continue the lower MRP cores for wholesale & tier 2 key accounts.

Conclusion
62
Market Interpretation:
• 58% of the respondent are not aware about their bra sizes.
• 32B, 34B, 36C in bras are the most frequent used sizes by the consumers
• According to the survey, 40% of the respondent prefer to Padded Underwire in Bras while Bikini is
the most preferred category in underwear(women’s bottom wear).
• 40% of the respondent would prefer to buy lingerie set if they get good options. So, we can offer
the lingerie set to increase the average UPT.
Buying Channel:
• As per the survey, 60% of the respondent are prefer to buy lingerie for exclusive underwear stores.
• 62% of the respondent are ready to purchase lingerie online, then we can increase business with E-
COM by sending more depth. of the merchandise.
63
Competitive Edge:
• As per the survey conducted Enamor and Amante are the major competitors of CK in Indian lingerie
market but according to sales value, it is clear that they have less options in terms of size, style &
compatible set options than CKU at the same price point, here we can lead the women’s inner
wear market by providing the consumers more and better options in lingerie.
• Women’s inner wear market is largely unorganized, only near to 40% market is organized which is
leading by “Local market key players”. More than 33% of the respondent are not satisfied with
their existing lingerie brand and more than 40% are not satisfied with the Fits & Styling offered by
their existing brand. Premium lingerie brands share nearly 2-5% in the Indian market only, whereas
around 30% of the customers are keen to buy from premium brands if offered with wide range of
options. There is a gap in the women’s inner wear market which can be a great opportunity to
launch a new lingerie range for a well positioned brand like Calvin Klein.
