OUTLINE
INTERNATIONAL MARKET
OVERVIEWThe consumer electronics industry manufactures and
distributes everything from telephones, stereo components, televisions, alarm clocks, and calculators to digital cameras, video cameras, VCRs, and DVD, MP3, laptop PC are also now part of the industry.
In 2005, in the U.S. alone, consumers spent more than $75 billion on consumer electronics products, 8 percent more than in 2004.
HOW THE INDUSTRY BREAKS DOWN The largest are multinational conglomerates with
more than 100,000 employees. The smallest often have only one office with
fewer than 50 employees focused on one product.
In the middle are manufacturers that offer a range of products within a certain category, such as speakers and audio accessories.
Industry observers usually break down the market by product category rather than company size.

Consumer durables are items that provide a flow of services to a consumer over a period of time. Examples include new cars, household appliances, audio-visual equipment, furniture etc. The real level of spending on durables has surged in the last eight years.
SOME OBSERVATIONSAmong the explanations are:
Falling prices for many durable products – arising from rapid advances in production technology and the effects of globalization which means that we can now import many of these durables more cheaply from overseas
Low interest rates which have encouraged people to spend more on “big ticket items” – there has been a surge in demand for consumer credit
Strong consumer confidence and borrowing levels. The demand for consumer durables is more income elastic than for non-durables which are usually staple items in people’s monthly budget.

KEY FINDINGS
Key Findings
Asia-Pacific region is the most lucrative area for the consumer electronics industry, as most of the markets are still untapped.
MP3 players continue to drive the audio market worldwide. Wi-Fi networking is expected to become a key enabler for the delivery and
redistribution of content in homes, particularly for retail consumer electronics hardware.
Mobile camera phone market has emerged as the single largest market for image sensors, surpassing the entire consumer electronics segment, including digital still cameras worldwide.
The strongest growth in consumer electronics segment is expected to come from China by 2010, as the demand for consumer electronics is rising with the rapid pace of economic development and low cost consumer electronics manufacturing.
On the back of this strong demand, China will become the second largest market for consumer electronics, after US.
SOME KEY FINDINGS
CONSUMER APPLIANCES & ELECTRONICS RETAILING IN CHINAThe world’s fastest growing large economy, with humungus
foreign investments High Competitive market, margins very tight and, until recently,
the available market was shrinking.Presence of Rural rebate scheme for reduced price goods to rural
consumers has made the available market a lot bigger though, over the past few years.
Official estimates for the CNY period show sales of household electric appliances grew by 17.8% over the same period in 2008.

GLOBAL CONSUMER BEHAVIOURChanging trends in womenA Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) study has found that
women are more comfortable with technology than ever before, are heavy users of CE products, and have a major influence on technology purchases for the household.
Female customers are distinct in their beliefs about technology, in what they desire from consumer electronics, and in the way that they shop for these products, the study indicated.
Women are less enamoured of gadgets and technology for its own sake.
But the CEA study indicated that women are more open to advice, and when shopping they focus on portability, functionality, reliability and simplicity.

BUYING BEHAVIOR –CONSUMER ELECTRONICS
Price is a significant influence on purchase behavior but is not always the most important factor.
Consumer age, brand, type of product, current product diffusion, and lifecycle stage of a product must be viewed in concert with price to understand purchase process behavior.
For example, buyers of certain products, including game consoles, high-definition DVD players, DVRs, and photo printers, are more likely to consider product features and capabilities over price.
Endorsed by opinion leaders – excellent reviews in magazines, TV shows, on blogs, by word of mouth by existing consumers, etc
High on quality – brand name of apple assures on quality, especially sound and music clarity as well as product durability
Associated with the ‘aspirational group’ for a consumer – with a trend setting product like an iPod, it has become a symbol of status and ‘cool’ and hence become a must-have to fit in with the popular groups
BUYING BEHAVIOR (Contd)
Lower duties, cheaper technology and strong competition with low entry barriers ensure competitive prices
Increase in brand and product choiceValue-for-money pricing lead consumers to
upgrade – from corded to cord-less phones, from conventional CRT to flat-screen or plasma/LCD TVs, from 15- to 17-inch computer monitors, from 1- to 3-megapixel cameras, from monochrome to colour phones, etc
TRENDS IN TERMS OF TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTS – INDIA
Huge boom in mobile phone purchases with high penetration even in rural markets (launch of value for money, no frills, reliance phones gave an impetus to rural penetration)
With internet penetration also increasing along with growing number of service providers, the sales of modems, routers and accessories has gone up.
Shift from buying predominately during Diwali and other festive seasons to year round purchasing
Consumers more aware of brands Consumers more conscious of style, looks,
technical specifications More research is done on technically advanced
gadgets, but there has also been an increase in impulse buying with increasing disposable incomes, competitive prices and wide choice.

MARKETING STRATEGY
PRESENCEPRESENCE RELEVANCE
RELEVANCE
PERFORMANCE BONDING
MARKETING STRATEGYPhase 1: Presence A publicity drive would have to be undertaken to
create a buzzword in the markets by having stalls in exhibitions and fairs, having a press release for every market they enter into
Phase 2: Relevance Next phase would be of reasoning our presence in the
market. Our brand proposition and objectives would be conveyed through the markets in this phase. Our marketing in this phase would be through catalogues
MARKETING STRATEGYPhase 3: Performance After creating our niche in the market, we therefore, need to create a
foothold and respect in the market, and this can be done only via our financial reports. Our financial reports should clearly mark us as a growing profitable and trustworthy company in terms of product and prices.
Phase 4: Bonding We are a successful brand by now, so our next step would be to create a
rapport/bond with our customers so as to make them feel prized and special. This could be done by :
Sending a small token of thanks on special days of their life like birthdays and anniversaries
Getting a CRM team in place who would go that extra mile to please and win the trust of the customers.
MARKETING MIXProduct We would offer best quality differentiated products laced with advanced
technologies like Laser TV’s. Would also offer bundled productsPrice Pricing would depend from product to product, therefore no fixed price range.
Price would be correlated to unique products attributes. At the same time our prices would be competitive so as to draw walk-ins in the store and have a higher conversion rate
Place We would have company owned exclusive retail outlets in cities of the country.
We would go preferably for standalone shops where competition levels are low. We want to create our store as a destination outlet and not any other roadside retailer
Promotion For the initial years we would spend on advertising and branding activities till
the time we have created a niche market for ourselves. Based on the previous year‘s sales figures we would contribute a certain % to promotional and marketing activities so as to reach the present year‘s sales targets
PROMOTION MIXThe promotions would be carried out in the following ways:
Trade fairs & Exhibitions: Would be best to way demonstrate and advertise the product
Advertisements through catalogues This would be undertaken on a routine basis so as to
create relevance in the minds of the target group Billboards & Revolvers One of the cheapest form of branding. Though the
conversion rate in this case would be debatable but it would perfectly accomplish our goal of popularising the brand.
