15%), China (9%), Russia (6%) and Mexico (3.8%).

Chocolate Market in India
India is the world's fastest growing market for chocolates. Registering 15% annual growth
between 2008 and 2012, the Indian chocolate industry is projected to grow at an even
higher rate in the coming years
Currently, the Indian chocolate market is worth around Rs 5,562 crore.
The Population of India in 2013 is 1.27 billion. The chocolate consumption number comes
around 2,09,550 ton.
400 Kgs of chocolate consumption in India per minutes.
Low priced unit packs, increased distribution reach and new product launches can be saidto have fuelled this growth.
The industry has a positive outlook due to phenomenal growth in the confectionery
industry, rising per capita income and gifting culture in the country. The per capita
consumption of chocolates is increasing in the country which will continue to flourish the
market revenues. It is expected that India chocolate industry will be growing at the CAGR
23% by volume between the years 2013-2018 and reach at 3,41,609 Tons. The dark
chocolates are expected to account for the larger market share when compared to milk
and white chocolates in the coming years. The introduction of medicinal and organic
ingredients in the manufacturing of chocolates had lead to a new trend and development
in the country, which will be adapted by major manufacturers to remain active in the
market.

In India chocolate consump tion was very low in the early 90s but as the decade advanced
the consumption drastically increased. The late 90s witnessed a good chocolate market
condition. The chocolate market in India is dominated by two multinational companies
Cadbury and Nestle. The national companies - Amul and Campco are other candidates inthis race. Cadbury holds more than 67% of the total share of the market. Nestle has
emerged by holding almost 21% of the total share. Apart from chocolate segment, there is
also a big confectionery segment which is flooded by companies like Parry's, Ravalgaon,
Candico and Nutrine. All these are leading national players. The multinational companies
like the Cadbury, Nestle and Perfetti are the new entrants in the sugar confectionery
market. (Management paradise) There are several others which have a minor share in
these two segments. According to statistics, the chocolate consumption in India isextremely low. If per capita consumption is considered, it comes to only 160gms in the
urban areas. This amount is very low compared to the developed countries where the per
capita consumption is more than 8-10 Kg. Observing this fact it would not be appropriate
to consider the rural areas of India as it will be extremely low. This low consumption is
owing to the notion behind consuming chocolates. Indians eat chocolates as indulgence
and not as snack food. The major target population is the children. India has witnessed a
slow growth rate of about 10% pa from the 70s to the 80s. But as the century adva nced
the market stagnated. This was the time when Cadbury launched its product- Dairy Milk as
an anytime product rather than an occasional luxury. All the advertisements of Dairy Milk
paid a full attention to adults and not children. And this proved to be the major
breakthrough for Cadbury as it tried to break the conventional ideas of the Indians about
chocolate. One of the oldest products of Cadbury which is still going strong is the
Cadburys Five Star which was launched in the year 1968 in India. Cadburys Five Star is
the most resistant chocolate to temperature and hence it is widely distributed all across
the country.
In early 90s, the Cocoa prices became high due to which the manufacturers were forced
to raise their product prices. But as the new variety of chocolate was launched the wafer
and the chocolate variety with the brand name Perk, the volume grew significantly. In the
late 90s new players like Nestle also introduced these wafer chocolates with the name Kit
Kat resulting into the growth of the market.
Dark Chocolate is growing at a rate of 13% globally. But India is still at nascent stage.There is less than 25% awareness amongst the young age segment.

Cadbury India
Cadbury India a subsidiary of Mondelez International, the $32 billion global snacking
major formed in October last year after Kraft Foods decided to split its business.
Cadbury controls over 67% share in the Rs 5,562 crore chocolates segment in India,
followed by Nestle with 21% share and Ferrero with 6% share, industry insiders said
quoting data from market research agency Nielsen. Last year, sales of Ferrero India and
Nestle's chocolate segment grew 30% and 6%, respectively. The chocolate industry in
India works at different levels that include chocolate giants like Cadbury's Dairy Milk,
Nestle etc., small chocolate manufacturers, chocolate retailers, chocolate importers and
people who make chocolates at home.
Cadbury India operates in five categories Chocolate confectionery, Beverages, Biscuits,
Gum and Candy. In the Chocolate Confectionery business, Cadbury has maintained its
undisputed leadership over the years. Some of the key brands are Cadbury Dairy Milk,
Bournvita, 5 Star, Perk, Bournville, Celebrations, Gems, Halls, Eclairs, Bubbaloo, Tang
and Oreo.
In India, Cadbury began its operations in 1948 by importing chocolates. After over 60
years of existence, it today has six company-owned manufacturing facilities at Thane,
Induri (Pune) and Malanpur (Gwalior), Bangalore and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh)
Hyderabad and 4 sales offices (New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Chennai). The corporate
office is in Mumbai.
Cadbury India enjoys a value market share of over 67 percent in the chocolate category
and our brand Cadbury Dairy Milk (CDM) is considered the "gold standard" for chocolates
in India. The pure taste of CDM defines the chocolate taste for the Indian consumer.
In the Milk Food drinks segment main product is Bournvita - the leading Malted Food Drink
(MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is the undisputed
leader. Cadbury recently entered the biscuits category with the launch of the Worlds No 1
biscuit brand Oreo.
Toblerone, the legendary triangular Swiss chocolate, is over a century-old brand and
prides itself on being the only triangular chocolate. The launch of Toblerone in India is in
line with the business objective of growing and leading the premium gifting chocolate
market with Gift like no one else as the b rand theme.

The Cadbury Logo
Brand names act as a simple perceptual cue that identifies a product as one people are
familiar with or one they associate with particular attributes or features (Achenreiner and
John 2003). The famous Cadbury white/purple script logo is unique and original, yetsimple, familiar and somehow approachable (Figure 4.0). There is some element of a
guarantee about the product created by the signature logo. In fact, in Australia, Cadbury is
regularly voted as the most trusted brand in the country (Bradley, 2008). The appetising
visual of two glasses pouring milk into the signature is also well known and provides a
pictorial heuristic for the perceived benefit of a glass and a half of full cream dairy milk.
Figure: 4.0 Cadbury white/purple script logo (Source: Cadbury website)
Cadbury is also instantly recognisable because of its iconic purple packaging. Colour has
emotional significance and can prompt swifter recognition to packaging than either written
words or imagery (Tutssel, 2001). Cadbury uses colour for quick brand recognition across
its many forms of marketing communications, for example, in outdoor advertising and
television advertising. One recent survey has found that 88 per cent of UK respondents
recognised Cadburys pur ple, making it the third most recognised brand of those tested
(Fitzgerald, 2009). Cadburys particular shade of purple has also long had associations
with royalty and luxury (Bradley, 2008).
Cadburys signature colour is considered so valuable to the comp any for brand recall and
brand recognition that it has spent millions of dollars in legal fees attempting to prevent
other chocolate companies such as Darrel Lea from using purple in their marketing
communications.
The Cadbury logo, its brand name and signature colour is always clearly visible in all
marketing communications providing ease of brand recognition.

with different needs and wants. Market segmentation can be defined in a number of ways
such as:

nb etc) .Current Population of India - India, with 1,270,272,105 (1.27 billion) people is the
second most populous country in the world. With the population growth rate at 1.58%,
India is predicted to have more than 1.53 billion people by the end of 2030. More than 50%
of India's current population is below the age of 25 and over 65% below the age of 35.
Geography: - About 72.2% of the population lives in some 638,000 villages and the rest27.8% in about 5,480 towns and urban agglomerations. So India is the biggest market for
Chocolate in terms of population.
The lifestyle of consumers (i.e. their interests and activities) the benefits which consumers
look for in a product or on the occasions when the product might be consumed.
Cadbury takes into account all these factors when producing a range of products. It
targets different segments within the market, are as follows: -

role in taking the decision of when to buy the Cadbury dairy milk.
Occasions: - For purchasing the Cadbury dairy milk no special occasions are required.
People can easily purchase it on regular basis. Occasionally such as Diwali,
Rakshabandhan, the sales of Dairy Milk increases.
Psychographic: - The psychology of how consumers think, feel, reason, and select

eating at McDonalds.

as individuals. We do this to communicate the desired signals in the highly social
environment we inhabit.

Financials Analysis
Cadbury India, whose revenue growth has consistently outperformed the economy over
the past few years, experienced the first hints of a slowdown in 2012, incidentally its first
year under new parent Mondelez International.
Its revenues increased 20.8% to Rs 4,065 crore, the lowest growth rate since 2006 and a
sharp deceleration from the 34.4% growth recorded in 2011. Profit after tax increased by
2.1% to Rs 303.4 crore. This slowdown will be seen as a small setback to Mondelez
International's plans to rev up growth in emerging markets.
Figure: 5.0 Cadbury India Sales & Net Profit (Source: http://www.indiainfoline.com/)
Mondelez International came into existence in October 2012, when grocery and snacks
giant Kraft was split into two companies. Its international business, including Oreo cookies
and Cadbury, was spun off and named Mondelez while most of the US assets remained in
Kraft. Kraft had acquired Cadbury in January 2010.
Cadbury India experienced a slowdown in sales and profit in 2012, despite launching
legendary Swiss triangular chocolate brand Toblerone, as consumers cut back on
discretionary products, many even trading pricier chocolates with lower priced candies and
confectionery.
Cadbury India had launched products such as Silk and Bournville, and entered the biscuits
segment in the past two years, which drove the growth,"The availability of foreign brands
such as Ferrero Rocher and Lindt in the premium segment could be hampering growth in
that category."

About Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate (CDM)
Cadbury Dairy Milk encapsulates an enormous breath of emotions, from shared values
such as family togetherness, to the personal values of individual enjoyment. It stands for
goodness. A moment of pure magic!
Cadbury Dairy Milk (CDM) entered the Indian market in 1948, and since then for
consumers across India, the word Cadbury has become synonymous with chocolate.
CDM remains at the top of the Indian chocolate market not only because of its most
delicious, best tasting chocolate but also because of its memorable communication.
Cadburys own milk chocolate bar, made by adding milk powder paste to the dark
chocolate recipe of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar, was launched in 1897. But it didnot attract a lot of interest. Swiss manufacturers were leading the field in milk chocolate,
with much better products than their rivals. So in 1904 George Cadbury was tasked with
developing a milk chocolate bar that was to have more milk than anything else on the
market.
All sorts of names were suggested: Highland Milk, Jersey and Dairy Maid. But when a
customers daughter suggested Dairy Milk, the name stuck. George Cadbury Dairy Milk was launched in June 1905. It was sold in unwrapped blocks that could be
broken down into penny bars. Gradually it became more and more successful Cadburys
biggest seller by the beginning of the First World War. And by the early 1920s it had taken
over the UK market. And of course, its still with us today. Cadbury Dairy Milk has become
a megabrand, available in many different varieties and all over the world.
Cadbury Chocolate constantly creates or acquires new products to add to their range of
offerings. Major chocolate brands produced by Cadbury include the bars Dairy Milk,
Crunchie, Caramel, Wispa, Boost, Picnic, Flake, Curly Wurly, Chomp, and Fudge;
chocolate Buttons; the boxed chocolate brand Milk Tray; and the twist-wrapped chocolates
Heroes.

Earnings sensitivity factors:-
- Cocoa bean, Sugar & Solid milk (milk powder) prices: Domestic as well as international
prices of key raw material cocoa, Sugar & Milk has significant impact on margins. Good
monsoon ensures adequate availability of raw materials, which are mainly agricultural innature.
- Rupee depreciation improves export realizations; however it also makes import of raw
material (esp. cocoa) expensive.
- Excise duties: Changes in excise levied on malt and chocolate influences end product
prices and thereby volume growth as well as margins.
- Changes in custom duties and foreign exchange fluctuations, as 20% of raw material are
imported.
- Competition from MNCs like Nestle as well as imported brands. Increasing competition
puts pressure on advertisement budget and margins. However on the positive side, it
helps in expanding the market.
Some of the key growth drivers being:-
- Tradition of gifting sweets
- Shifting in consumer preference (from traditional mithai to chocolates)
- Increasing awareness - demand for sugar-free and diet chocolates among consumers.

- Expansion potential due to lesser penetration
- Rising income levels and rapid development in rural markets.
However, there is a long way to go for the Indian chocolate industry. Increasing
awareness, rising disposable income, shifting in Indian consumer preference and rapiddevelopment in rural markets shows there is a huge untapped market that the chocolate
manufactures can capture.
Cadbury India distribution network India
Cadburys brands are available in over a million outlets across the country. Cadbury is
also focusing intensively on achieving distribution equity. Though it takes much more time
and effort to build, but once built, distribution equity is hard to erode. With technology andcompetitive pressure slash in it is becoming increasing difficult for marketers to retain a
unique product differentiation for long period. In a product and price parity situation, the
brand that sells more is the one that reaches the highest number of customers.
To tap this huge potential Cadbury's distribution channels include the manufacturing
warehouses where the chocolate production takes place. This is followed by wholesaler &
then followed by retailer.
Due to 65 years of presence in India - has deep penetration- 2,500 distributors; 550,000
retailers, 60 mid urban (22%) customers. The modern trade is handled separately.

S.W.O.T Analysis
Strength
Cadbury being a reputed company has its brand name as one of its biggest strengths. Ithas been present for over 65 years even before competition could peep-in. Due to its
presence for so many years people tend to associate chocolate with Cadbury. It is almost
as if Cadbury is synonymous with generic category chocolate. Cadbury is a very profitable
organization, generating revenue in billions. Cadbury India Ltd is supported by its parent
company, Mondelez International. A large range of products like - chocolates, beverages,
malted foods etc. are manufactured by Cadbury. These products are reasonably priced to
suit different economic consumer categories. Celebrity endorsements have increased
sales and also added glitter to the brand name. Cadbury India has the biggest market
share at 67 per cent while Nestle is the second largest at 21 per cent. Amul & other holds
the rest. In spite of innovation in the chocolate segment, their basic chocolate, Dairy Milk,
still seems to remain the all-time favourite of most people. Low cost of production due to
economic of scale. That means higher profits, better market penetration with the strong
distribution network.
Weaknesses
The scenario of worms being found in Cadbury chocolates lead to a temporary decline in
sales. Also Cadbury offers a limited variety of products as opposed to other leading
competitive brands, e.g. Amul and Nestle that offer an array of products like biscuits, dairy
products, etc. One of the major raw material i.e. Cocoa has to be imported leading to
bunched imports and higher inventory. Also majority of markets in India are not Air
conditioned and hence cannot store chocolates at least during hot summers, which limits
the market access. There is lack of penetration in the rural market where people tend to
dismiss it as a high end product. It is mainly found in urban and semi-urban areas. The
operating profit of the company declined, declining profitability will adversely affect the
operations of the company. Poor technology in India compared to current international
technologies.

Opportunities
As Cadbury has established itself very well in the Indian market, it can now narrow down
to some popular products and can bring down its own individual Cadburys store. It has
capabilities to increase the range of products manufactured. The company can easily
venture into new segments individually or jointly. Another very important opportunity that
can be observed is the introduction of foreign products in India. The company can focus
on targeting urban areas and developing sectors by working on availability and
affordability. The company aims at bringing efficiency in logistics and distribution. This can
very well be achieved by using information technology. Cadbury can also focus on gaining
profits through chewing gum market in India.
Threats
As Cadbury has already faced a worm scandal, its reputation has been put at stake by the
competitors trying to exploit this situation. Cadbury faces a serious threat in the
confectionery segment from companies like Amul, Nestle, etc. As Cadbury produces
chocolates and a few related products, effective management of all the areas proves to be
difficult at times. Trends of purchase may change with the ever-changing taste preference
of consumers. Changing restrictions and rules from Government quality control boardsmay result in pressure on the production of the company & cost increase. Also, Cadbury is
exposed to rise in the cost of cocoa beans, dairy products and other vital ingredients.

Competitors: - The main competitors of Dairy milk in India are Nestle, Ferrero Rocher,
Amul chocolates & unbranded chocolate. The high end chocolates (Bournville and silk)
also face competition also face competition from the imported Swiss chocolates. But one
of the biggest advantages the dairy milk has over its competitors is the brand loyalty that ithas got. The excellent advertising, reach and accessibility have made it the top of mind
brand in the chocolate category.
Climate: - The climate for the chocolate industry and dairy milk in particular seems very
attractive in a country like India. With the size of the market being so big along with
encouraging category growth the prospects look very good. Since the product is not
seasonal and the margin is also good makes the climate for the industry even better. With
new innovations coming up in terms of product and packaging the market is still on a
growth curve.
Collaborators: - As already said Cadbury dairy milk manages a huge range of retailers
and whole sellers who make up the collaborators. Over the years the company has
partnered with various other companies like Adam Philippines in 2001 so that diary milk
has a much wider distribution network in the Philippines.
Impulsive Chocolate Buying Behaviour and Pricing
Impulsive behaviour occurs when the consumer is looking for immediate hedonic benefits.
It is commonly associated with urges to smoke, drink, overspend or overeat. 'Impulsive
behaviour' is defined by 'Consumers experiencing an irresistible urge to consume', which
they might even regret later.
Whether an individual focuses on cost or the benefit of impulsiveness depends on the
chronic values of the consumer, which forms the core of its personality. Hedonicpersonalities will focus selectively on the benefits than the cost of impulsiveness and are
considerable uninfluenced by the costs. Hence, such individuals become insensitive to
price aspect when their hedonic urge is driving the purchase decision.
Let us explain the growth of the market at the higher end of the spectrum in recent years
in chocolate category with this argument. The product offerings on the higher end are of
rich chocolate (e.g. Dairy Milk Silk) based products (associated with taste and pleasure)
instead of wafer-based offerings (which serve as a snack). This shows that brands
-

command a better premium when an impulsive urge rather than functional benefits are the
prime motivators for purchase.
Even though chocolate buying behaviour is impulsive, research suggests that the relative
accessibility of inputs such as costs versus the benefits of impulsiveness influences
impulsive behaviour. Impulsiveness is unaffected by cost highlighting arguments which
explains the ineffectiveness of advertisements discouraging cigarettes, alcohol, etc.
When the benefit of impulsiveness was the pleasure of yielding to temptation, the
advertisements, that 'triggered the desire' or 'highlighted the benefits of giving in to the
temptation' appealed most to the hedonic individuals. However, the prudent personalities
give more value to the cost than the benefits. Thus, the benefits are relatively non-
influential in judgment. Thus, advertisements that justify the cost of impulsiveness can
help provoke impulsiveness in such consumers.
Consumer Trends
- Mithai- the traditional Indian sweats is getting expensive and substituted by
chocolates among upwardly mobile Indians. Instead of buying sweets on Raksha
Bandhan, Diwali, people prefer to buy chocolates.
- The range and variety of chocolates available in malls seems to be growing day byday, which leads to lot of impulse sales for chocolate companies
- Chocolates which use to be unaffordable, is now considered mid-priced.
- Designer chocolates have become status symbols.
This clearly means that the three main factors like demand for products, conducive
regulations and customised talent are abundant in India.
Traditionally, chocolates were always targeted at children. But stagnancy in growth rates
made the companies re-think their strategies. Cadbury was the first chocolate company
that took the market by storm by repositioning brands at adults, as opposed to children.
Chocolates are consumed as indulgence and not as snack food, as prevalent in western
countries. Almost 75% chocolates are impulse purchases. Chocolates are bought
predominantly by adults and gifted to children. The wholesaler usually deals in all kinds of
FMCG goods, Foodstuff in addition to the chocolates. The items like chocolates are
placed near the counter. Chocolates are primarily sold through Kirana Stores, Gift stores,
Medical Stores, canteens, Pan-Bidi stores, Bakeries, Sweet Shops, Super market etc.

Growth Opportunities in Indian Chocolate Industry
Untapped Market & Limited Consumption
The fact that chocolate is not a traditional food, high prices and domestic production
Problems will provide the main problems to market growth. As these markets develop,
prices will fall making these products more accessible to the wider population. However
the Indian market is still untapped and provides immense scope for growth, both
geographically as well as product basket wise.
Chocolates right now reaches about 70mn to 75mn consumers. It is estimated that
Chocolates have a potential market of about 116mn consumers.
Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around
160gms in the urban areas, compared to 8-10kg in the developed countries. The per
capita chocolate consumption in India is still much below the East Asian standards. Hence
per capita consumption has an immense scope for improvement.
In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolates in India are consumed as indulgence and not
as a snack food. A strong volume growth was witnessed in the early 90's when Cadbury

repositioned chocolates from children to adult consumption. The biggest opportunity is
likely to stem from increasing the consumer base. Leading players like Cadbury and
Nestle have been attempting to do this by value for money offerings, which are affordable
to the masses. We also believe that the near term opportunity lies in increasingpenetration rather than increasing intensity of consumption.
Changing Attitudes & Consumption Pattern
In the past, chocolate consumption had been restricted by low purchasing power in the
market. Chocolates and other cocoa-based snack foods were looked upon as food
suitable only for elitist consumption till recently. But with the launch of lower-priced,
smaller bars of chocolate in the last two years and positioning of chocolate as a substitute
to traditional sweets during festivals, have boosted consumption.Urban consumers now buy chocolates and confectionery for everyday consumption.
Earlier, they would buy them mostly during festivals. Also, more and more Indian
consumers are replacing traditional sweets with chocolates.
Almost 20% of chocolate sales in at the retailer come from adult chocolates. "Adult
chocolate consumption is getting a fillip from modern retail.
Figure: 9.1 Chocolates Consumption Pattern
Indians now prefer chocolates over other Indian sweets because of health considerations.
This has also helped in opening the bakery segment to the chocolate manufacturers. We
have bakery chains which have launched their own brands of chocolates as an offering

Chocolates which were considered to be an elitist food hit the fancy of masses looking for
a change in life style at affordable cost.
Rural Expansion: - Rural market and small town markets are seen as the key to spurring
double-digit growth. Products such as liquid chocolate packs from the existing portfolio areexpected to enable rapid acceptance.
Leverage India for Off-Shoring: - India is being leveraged for export of finished goods,
as a superior destination for manufacturing best practices, and for BPO opportunities.
All the above points bring us to a conclusion that theres an immense scope for growth of
chocolate industry in India not only in its offering pattern but also for increment in its total
consumption value and size.
Product life cycle of CDM
The product life cycle model helps marketers identify the different stages that the sales
and profits of a product go through during the course of its lifetime. There are five stages
to the product life cycle: introduction, growth, maturity, saturation and decline.
1. Introduction: Sales are slow as the product is not yet known. Costs are high due to
heavy marketing spend to create awareness. Emphasis is on advertising and
distribution. The Cadbury Dairy milk launched by Cadbury in 1905 is an example ofa brand at the introduction stage.
2. Growth: This stage shows growing market acceptance and increasing profits.
Competitors begin to enter the marketplace. The business concentrates on
optimising product availability. The Cadbury Dairy milk is the market leader in
chocolate market with 30 % market share example of brand at growth stage.
3. Maturity: The rate of sales growth slows down as the product has been widely
distributed and sold. The company now focuses on creating brand extensions andpromotion offers to boost sales. New product research is critical to ensure future
sales. The Cadbury Dairy Milk Silk chocolate range is an example of creating brand
extensions brand at the maturity stage.
4. Decline: Sales slow down dramatically and profits fall off. The product may be
dropped to make way for new products and the cycle recommences. So far CDM
has not reached at this stage because of extension in maturity stage.

Figure: 10.0 Product Life Cycle of Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate
The product life cycle is very useful for managers as it can act as a guide for changes in
strategy at differ ent stages in the products life. However, the concept runs the danger of
becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy. In reality, not all products (or brands) follow the "S"
curve of the product life cycle. Some fad products die quickly after introduction. Others
manage to live indefinitely. The Cadbury brand has been in existence since 1824 and is
still the number one brand in confectionery products.

analyst plot a scattered graph to rank the product on the basis of relative market share &

Cadbury & the Worm Controversy
The discovery of worms in some samples of Cadburys Chocolate in early October 2003
created one of the biggest controversies in India against a Multi-National reputed for being
a benchmark of quality.The controversy created an deep adverse impact on the company with their sales not only
drastically dipping down, but at the same time allowing the competitors to establish their
foothold and taking maximum advantage of Cadburys misfortune.
The controversy, and the adverse publicity received in several countries, set back its plan
of outsourcing model which would have resulted in significant revenue generation, several
months back.
The "worms controversy" came at the worst time.the next few months were the peak season of Diwali, Eid & Christmas. Cadbury sells almost 1,000 tonnes of chocolates
during Diwali. In that year, the sales during festival season dropped by 30 per cent. The
company saw its value share melt from 73 per cent in October 2003 to 69.4 per cent in
January 2004.
In May, however, it inched up to 71 per cent. CDM sales volumes declined from 68 per
cent in October 03 to 64 per cent in January 2004
Clearly, the worm controversy took a toll on Cadbury's bottom-line. For the year endedDecember 2003, its net profit fell 37 per cent to Rs 45.6 crore (Rs 456 million) as
compared with a 21 per cent increase in the previous year.
However, Cadburys reiterated that all through the 55 years of leadership in India that it
has remained synonymous with chocolates and has remained committed to high quality
and consumer satisfaction."
Cadburys Fight- Back:-
'Project Vishwas'- Steps to ensure quality & regain the confidence
Following the controversy over infestation in its chocolates, Cadbury India Ltd unveiled
'Project Vishwas', a plan involving distribution and retail channels to ensure the quality of
its products.
The company's team of quality control managers, along with around 300 sales staff,
checked over 50,000 retail outlets in Maharashtra and replaced all questionable stocks
with immediate effect.

$@ #" # $ %
The Vishwas programme was intended to build awareness among retailers on storage
requirements for chocolates, provide assistance in improving storage conditions and
strengthen packaging of the company's range of products.
Cadbury reduced the number of chocolates in its bulk packets to 22 bars from the present
60 bars. These helped stockists display and sell the products "safely and hygienically"
190,000 retailers in key states were covered under this awareness programme.
The BIG B F actor
The big factor that has pushed up CDM sales is the Amitabh Bachchan campaign. It
helped restore consumers' faith in the quality of the product. In early January, Cadbury
appointed Amitabh Bachchan as its brand ambassador for a period of two years.
The company believed that the reputation he has built up over the last three decades
complements their own, which was built over a period of 50 years. Yet, the entire credit of
recovery could not be attributed to the brand mascot.
Incisive action taken by the company also helped. Some of which were:
1. Responded to consumers concern over the issue rapidly. Also, the communication
campaign worked effectively in giving out the central message.
2. The packaging was changed to include a sealed plastic wrapper inside the outside foil.
Cadburys launched a new 'purity -sealed' packaging for its flagship product, Cadbury Dairy
Milk. The packaging is in response to foreign bodies, notably worms, being found in its
products. Over the next few weeks Cadbury will work towards introducing either a heat-
sealed or a flow-pack packaging that offers a high level of resistance to infestation from
improper storage.
3. New advertising & promotion campaigns were in place which accounted for an Ad
spend of nearly Rs 40 crore (Rs 400 million) Cadbury invested nearly Rs 25 crore (Rs 250
million) this year on new machinery for the improved packaging.
Cadbury Singing Sweetly Again:-
All is well that ends well. And for Cadburys India, nothing can be sweeter than Regaining
Back the Consumer Confidence.

Thanks to quick action taken to recover the damage done by the worm controversy like
Operation Vishwas, adopting new packaging & massive advertising with Mr. Amitabh
Bachchan as their brand ambassador, Cadburys regained its market share.
Cadbury India appointed management consultancy firm AT Kearney to draw up a strategy
to control costs in several areas, including sourcing of raw materials and packaging. This
was partly an outcome of the worms controversy more than a year ago. Among other
things, it changed the wrappers for its Cadbury Dairy Milk brand and introduced better
coolers.
The consultancy firm will also look at the sourcing of direct and indirect materials like
renegotiating with suppliers for longer term contracts and vendor management. Other
costs (indirect expenses) like travel costs and hotels were also being studied.
In other words, Cadbury is trying to reduce the cost per stock keeping unit (SKUs, or
packs).The aim was to improve efficiencies.
Success Factors of Cadbury India Limited
1. Global management processes:-
India occupies a high profile position in the global organization, with advocates in regional
and global headquarters. Global management has allowed the local operation a high
degree of flexibility in growing the business, understanding that asset utilization may be
lower and returns slower to arrive, but expecting volume share to compensate for lower
margins in the long run.
2. Local management processes:-
The Cadbury India team is all-Indian and has a deep understanding of local market
dynamics. The business is set in a way that highlights localization across all facets
driving the belief that the only way to succeed in India is by developing localized business
models. For example, the company tailored the chocolate formula in India to prevent
melting in the countrys open -air high frequency store environment.
3. Customized business models:-
Local management has set up systems to test and develop products from the ground upwith specialized interlinked cells that execute innovation and market testing hand-in-hand.

Cadbury India is known as a key product innovator. Besides Dairy Milk, the entire Cadbury
product portfolio in India has been developed locally to suit Indian consumer tastes.
Packaging, marketing and distribution have all been tailored to local market conditions.
4. Royalty Structure:-
Royalty to Cadbury Schweppes is around 1 per cent of the turnover. But with that, the
company gets unlimited access to latest technology, new products and so on. They can
also introduce new products from the parent, if it is suitable for Indian market.
5. Subtle reengineering of raw material mix led to cost savings:-
Cadbury has reduced its dependence on cocoa, thus lowering its exposure to volatile raw
material prices as well as cutting costs. It appears that they have subtly altered its recipe
by using less of costlier cocoa and more of milk and sugar. Cadbury's launch of Perk has
also contributed significantly in reducing the proportion of cocoa in the overall raw material
mix.
6. Brand Building:-
Since its inception, Cadbury in India has stayed ahead thanks to their constant marketing
initiatives, that have at all points in time understood the needs of and opportunities in a
changing nation but Nestle had stood firm in second position resulting from their
responsibilities and providing quality products. Amul an Indian company has been able to
create brand quality and thus selling their product through their name.
7. Wide variety of brands:-
The '60s was a decade which saw the launch of brands that are etched in the hearts of
generations of Indians - Tiffins, Nut Butterscotch, Caramels, Crackle, 5 Star and Gems. It
was a strategy that introduced consumers to a variety of tastes and product forms leading
to a rapid increase in chocolate consumption.
8. Quality products at low price:-
Cadbury's Eclairs was launched in 1972, at the then princely sum of 0.25p and was an
instant hit. It continues to be one of the biggest brands in the Cadbury portfolio and offers
the lowest price point at which consumers can experience the real taste of chocolate. Butas compared to other companies the price are very high because of lack of competition.

9. Innovative & attractive packaging:-
In the years that followed, Cadbury invested in technology and made an impact through
innovative packaging. This decade experienced a continuous growth in volumes as
Cadbury launched a flurry of brands with different pack sizes, at various price points. The
now ubiquitous Sheet Metal Dispenser seen on cash counters of thousands of shops for
dispensing chocolates was an innovation that helped brand the colour purple in the minds
of the Indian consumer.
10. Timely expansion of market:-
In the 90's Cadbury realised both the scope and the need to expand the market. Hitherto
perceived only as a children's product, Cadbury 'universalized' the chocolate market. Themulti-award winning advertising campaign - 'The Real Taste of Life' - was launched,
capturing the childlike spontaneity in every adult.
Moulded chocolate and clairs also showed satisfactory growth. This has also helped in
improving the infrastructure and distribution reach of the company in chocolate and
confectionery segment.
11. Introducing new products:-
Cadbury 5 Star with its Energizing Bar campaign targ eted the youth, offering them a
mind and body charge. While pre-empting competition, Cadbury Perk - the light chocolate
snack - pushed chocolates into the wider area of snacking by promising 'Thodi Si Pet
Pooja Kabhi Bhi Kahin Bhi' (anytime, anywhere) and has introduced new flavours like Mint
Hint, Mango Tango, Very Strawberry. It has also introduced various new chocolates like
Gollum and Fruits in recent years.
12. Constant diversification:-
Faced with rapidly changing markets and increased competition, Cadbury launched Truffle
to hit the high ground of great tasting chocolate. This was followed by Picnic in 1998,
which with its unique, multi-ingredient construct promises to take chocolates straight into
the realm of snacks. With the introduction of Gollum and Fruits Cadbury has taken the
market by surprise.

13. Commitment of expansion:-
With the launch of Trebor Googly, the tangy, fizzy candy, Cadbury took the market by
surprise and marked the entry of Trebor into the fast growing Indian sugar confectionery
market. The extension of Googly to a Mint flavour reinforces Cadbury's commitment to
establish the Trebor name as a strong player in the value added sugar confectionery
market.
14. Repositioning:-
Cadburys has been repositioning its products for children to adults and for celebrative
occasions. A repositioning campaign was arranged for dairy milk that showed adults doing
unconventional things (like a lady breaking into a jig in the middle of the overflowingCricket (stadium) driving home the message that adults could enjoy chocolate as well.

PEST analysis of the Chocolate Segment in India
Growth and progress of a company depends upon multifarious factors which are known to
have direct and apparent effects on the overall target and functioning of that company. For
a gargantuan corporation like the Cadburys, it is very important to keep an eye out for thebutterfly effects of the political, social, economical, technological and environmental
factors. Any changes in the laws or regulations, especially concerning international trade
and food labeling could greatly affect the chocolate industry. Awareness of the Food
Safety Act will help the chocolate industry for sustaining in the ever growing market. The
chocolate manufacturers need to make sure that none of the companies are breaking laws
regarding production. For example, employing children or paying under minimum wage.
Otherwise, scandals and lawsuits would greatly hurt their reputation. Inspite of theeconomy being relatively down at the moment, it is observed that the chocolate industry
has not been affected much. As a result it would support the launch of a new chocolate
product or a new store. High consumer spending and low interest rates also encourage a
new product.
Confectionary market is growing at a very high rate and there are still many uncovered
segments that require appropriate strategic approaches. Many people are trying to eat
healthy and cut down on confectionary goods and soft drinks due to the current skinny is
beautiful trend. Public opinion of chocolates is very high, so no major concerns are there
to stop consumers from buying their products. Production is high due to advanced
technologies and well equipped factories which enables high quality mass production.
Medias such as the internet, television and the radio enable large amount of cheap
advertisement. Internet is a good place to sell goods, even confectionary ones. Provides a
new consumer group with access to Cadbury and allows even larger sales due to a larger
overall consumer group. (Business studies)

The growth rate of sales & PAT was decreasing in the 2012-13 period. This was mainlydue to competition that it faced because of foreign brands entering into India. But in recent
past Cadbury has been successful in increasing its growth rate. This is mainly due to
increase in market size.
India chocolate industry will be growing at the CAGR 23% by volume between the years
2013-2018 and reach at 3,41,609 Tons..
We expect Cadbury India will be growing at the same rate. The Sales projections aregiven in the below graphs:-

the key growth drives.
Grow volume sales at least 20% p.a. over the next years.

maintain their strong market distribution channel so as not to lose market share.
They need to maintain high standards and should be careful that there product
remains sterile. And is not effected by insects.
