Opportunities In Current Market

Almost one-third of the Indian population does not have access to any of the modern oral healthcare facilities, making it a lucrative prospect market for the leading players. With the per capita consumption of toothpaste in India at about 146g, it is the lowest in the world. Furthermore, toothpaste industry analysis revealed that dental cavities and other problems are prevalent in 63% of 15-year-olds, while approximately 8% of adults in the age groups of 35-44 suffer from the same problems.

Moreover, a study of the demographics also shows that the Indian population suffers extensively from gum problems, especially periodontal diseases and other tooth sensitivity issues. The data analyzed predicts that the Indian toothpaste market can grow by 90% if the per capita consumption of toothpaste were to match that of China. Growth has already been recorded in sub-segments like mouthwash and toothpaste that addresses sensitivity problems, citing which market experts are speculating growth of the segment as a whole.

Indian Soap Industry At A Glance

The soaring palm oil price in the international market until July 2013 forced the Indian soap industry to increase the price of its commodity across the board. Then when the price of palm oil fell by about 20%, the soap manufacturers in India started offering promotions. This increased sales in 2013. Companies such as HUL, Godrej Consumer, and Wipro Consumer were big gainers from the current round of promotions. Over the past two years, these large companies gained considerable market share from regional firms like Venus Soaps that we’re unable to keep prices low, given the rising palm oil costs.

In the December quarter of 2013, HUL’s Lux and Lifebuoy were India’s leading soaps with a market share of 14.4% each, while Santoor had 8.8% and Dettol 7.8%, according to Nielsen data. Industry experts forecast that palm oil prices will stay near current levels for the next two quarters, which may prompt the Indian Soap industry to look up.

DISCUSSION :

Brand loyalty might not seem particularly important in the toothpaste industry since toothpaste is considered a basic – need good, and people are going to buy regardless of how healthy the economy is. However, both Colgate and Crest are considered premium brands and are therefore going to be priced higher than the majority of its shelf – spaced competition. What this means for Colgate and Crest is that they need to drive customers to try its product without scaring them away based on price, as well as retain existing customers because these customers, if loyal and attached to the brand, will be more adept at accepting price increases.

One person commented :

“I’m an Indian and have hair that is naturally silky and slightly on the wavier side. I have tried both the shampoos and, personally, did not like the Himalaya Protein shampoo very much. It made my hair very dry and fall. I prefer Dove to Himalaya. I still had little hair fall using Dove, but my hair was manageable and silky. I always use Pantene or Dove but have been using Vatika recently, and it has a good scent and also keeps my hair silky straight.”

YOUR OPINION/ SUGGESTION :

In my opinion, I would like to point out that since there are many television advertisements for many kinds of toothpaste and soaps products, the products which benefits are not getting sold due to lack of advertisements. Products like Dabur babool, Dettol have their advertising methods. Thus their products are getting sold, which is a good thing.while some companies that only concentrate on marketing rather than user experience.
