Consumer Behaviour

• The competitive scenario in this industry is getting more intense as the customers habits are changing and they now want more options in anything and everything that they consume.

• The entry of these variants has provided the customers with a lot of options.

• It now needs to be seen how Sunfeast Yippee Noodles from ITC is able to make a dent in stronghold of Maggie and how it is able to come out on top in this battle of FMCG giants.

Conclusion • Lot to be done for Yippee.

• The biggest advantage for Maggie is its taste and first mover advantage in the instant noodle market.

• Become generic and mere advertising is not going to do any harm to Maggie.

• Key to success for Yippee will be the taste and targeted promotional activities and good distribution channel with ITC’s reach.

• Top Roman and Foodles failed. Maggie with 80% market share is being targeted by ITC’s Yippee noodles with a slight different and a well thought out strategy and with a huge cash reserve to fight a marketing war with Nestle.

• Noodle brands mainly target children only. India is vastly consumed by Young population also, then why not target this group and segment the market. ”Divide and Conquer”.
