INTRODUCTION

 The FMCG sector represents consumer goods required for daily or

frequent use. The main segments of this sector are personal care (oral

care, hair care, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries), household care (fabric wash

and household cleaners), branded and packaged food, beverages (health

beverages, soft drinks, staples, cereals, dairy products, chocolates, bakery

products) and tobacco.

 The Indian FMCG sector is an important contributor to the country's GDP.

It is the fourth largest sector in the economy and is responsible for 5% of 

the total factory employment in India. The industry also creates

employment for 3 m people in downstream activities, much of which is

disbursed in small towns and rural India. This industry has witnessed

strong growth in the past decade. This has been due to liberalization,

urbanization, increase in the disposable incomes and altered lifestyle.

Furthermore, the boom has also been fuelled by the reduction in excise

duties, de-reservation from the small-scale sector and the concerted

efforts of personal care companies to attract the burgeoning affluent

segment in the middle-class through product and packaging innovations.

Unlike the perception that the FMCG sector is a producer of luxury items

targeted at the elite, in reality, the sector meets the every day needs of 

the masses. The lower-middle income group accounts for over 60% of the

sector's sales. Rural markets account for 56% of the total domestic FMCG

demand.

Many of the global FMCG majors have been present in the country for

4

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pepsi-summertrainingprogramme 5/49

many decades. But in the last ten years, many of the smaller rung Indian

FMCG companies have gained in scale. As a result, the unorganized and

regional players have witnessed erosion in market share.

History of FMCG in India 

In India, companies like ITC, HLL, Colgate, Cadbury and Nestle have

been a dominant force in the FMCG sector well supported by relatively

less competition and high entry barriers (import duty was high). These

companies were, therefore, able to charge a premium for their products.

In this context, the margins were also on the higher side. With the gradual

opening up of the economy over the last decade, FMCG companies have

been forced to fight for a market share. In the process, margins have been

compromised, more so in the last six years (FMCG sector witnessed

decline in demand).

Current Scenario

 The growth potential for FMCG companies looks promising over the

long-term horizon, as the per-capita consumption of almost all products in

the country is amongst the lowest in the world. As per the Consumer

Survey by KSA-Technopak, of the total consumption expenditure, almost

40% and 8% was accounted by groceries and personal care products

respectively. Rapid urbanization, increased literacy and rising per capita

income are the key growth drivers for the sector. Around 45% of the

population in India is below 20 years of age and the proportion of the

young population is expected to increase in the next five years. Aspiration

levels in this age group have been fuelled by greater media exposure,

unleashing a latent demand with more money and a new mindset. In this

backdrop, industry estimates suggest that the industry could triple in

value by 2015 (by some estimates, the industry could double in size by

2010).

In our view, testing times for the FMCG sector are over and driving rural

penetration will be the key going forward. Due to infrastructure

constraints (this influences the cost-effectiveness of the supply chain),

5

Page 6: PEPSI Summer+Training+Programme

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pepsi-summertrainingprogramme 6/49

companies were unable to grow faster. Although companies like HLL and

ITC have dedicated initiatives targeted at the rural market, these are still

at a relatively nascent stage.

 The bottlenecks of the conventional distribution system are likely to beremoved once organized retailing gains in scale. Currently, organized

retailing accounts for just 3% of total retail sales and is likely to touch

10% over the next 3-5 years. In our view, organized retailing results in

discounted prices, forced-buying by offering many choices and also opens

up new avenues for growth for the FMCG sector. Given the aggressive

expansion plans of players like Pantaloon, Trent, Shopper’s Stop and

Shoprite, we are confident that the FMCG sector has a bright future.

 Budget Measures to PromoteFMCG Sector

2% education cess corporation tax, excise duties and custom duties

 Concessional rate of 5% custom duty on tea and coffee plantationmachinery

Budget Impact

 The education cess will add marginally to the tax burden of all FMCGcompanies

 The dividend distribution tax on debt funds is likely to adversely effectthe other income components of companies like Britannia, Nestle andHLL

 The measure to abolish excise duty on dairy machinery is a positive forcompanies like Nestle

Concessional rate for tea and coffee plantation machinery is a positive

for Tata Tea, HLL, Tata Coffee and other such companiesDuty reduction in food grade hexane will have a marginally positiveimpact on companies like Marico and HLL

Area specific excise exemptions for North East, J&K, Himachal Pradeshwill continue to encourage FMCG companies to relocate to these areas.

India offers a large and growing market of 1 billion people of which 300

million are middle class consumers. India offers a vibrant market of youth

and vigor with 54% of population below the age of 25 years. These young

people work harder, earn more, spend more and demand more from the

market, making India a dynamic and aspirational society. Domestic

demand is expected to double over the ten-year period from 1998 to

2007. The number of households with "high income" is expected to

increase by 60% in the next four years to 44 million households.

 

India is rated as the fifth most attractive emerging retail market. Ithas been ranked second in a Global Retail Development Index of 30

developing countries drawn up by A T Kearney. A.T. Kearney has

estimated India's total retail market at $202.6 billion, is expected to grow

at a compounded 30 per cent over the next five years. The share of 

modern retail is likely to grow from its current 2 per cent to 15-20 percentover the next decade, analysts feel.

 

 The Indian FMCG sector is the fourth largest sector in the economy

with a total market size in excess of US$ 13.1 billion. The FMCG market is

set to treble from US$ 11.6 billion in 2003 to US$ 33.4 billion in 2015.

Penetration level as well as per capita consumption in most product

categories like jams, toothpaste, skin care, hair wash etc in India is low

indicating the untapped market potential. Burgeoning Indian population,

particularly the middle class and the rural segments, presents an

opportunity to makers of branded products to convert consumers to

branded products.

India is one of the world’s largest producers for a number of FMCG

products but its FMCG exports are languishing at around Rs 1,000 crore

only. There is significant potential for increasing exports but there are

certain factors inhibiting this. Small-scale sector reservations limit ability

to invest in technology and quality up gradation to achieve economies of 

scale. Moreover, lower volume of higher value added products reduce

scope for export to developing countries.

 The FMCG sector has traditionally grown at a very fast rate and has

generally out performed the rest of the industry. Over the last one year,

however the rate of growth has slowed down and the sector has recorded

sales growth of just five per cent in the last four quarters.

 The outlook in the short term does not appear to be very positive for

the sector. Rural demand is on the decline and the Centre for Monitoring

Indian Economy (CMIE) has already downscaled its projection for

agriculture growth in the current fiscal. Poor monsoon in some states, too,

is unlikely to help matters. Moreover, the general slowdown in the

economy is also likely to have an adverse impact on disposable income

8

Page 9: PEPSI Summer+Training+Programme

8/8/2019 PEPSI Summer+Training+Programme

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pepsi-summertrainingprogramme 9/49

and purchasing power as a whole. The growth of imports constitutes

another problem area and while so far imports in this sector have been

confined to the premium segment, FMCG companies estimate they have

already cornered a four to six per cent market share. The high burden of local taxes is another reason attributed for the slowdown in the industry

At the same time, the long term outlook for revenue growth is positive.

A Brief Pepsi History

In 1893, Caleb Bradham,a young pharmacist from New Bern, North

Carolina, begins experimenting with many different soft

drink concoctions. Like many pharmacists at the turn of 

the century he had a soda fountain in his drugstore, where

he served his customers refreshing drinks, that he created

himself. His most popular beverage was something he

called "Brad's drink" made of carbonated water, sugar,

vanilla, rare oils, pepsin and cola nuts.

One of Caleb's formulations, known as "Brad's drink", created in the

summer of 1893, was later renamed Pepsi Cola after the pepsin and cola

nuts used in the recipe. In 1898, Caleb Bradham wisely bought the trade

name "Pep Cola" for $100 from a competitor from Newark, New Jersey

that had gone broke. The new name was trademarked on June 16th, 1903.

Bradham's neighbor, an artist designed the first Pepsi logo and ninety-

seven shares of stock for Bradham's new

company were issued.

1898 - One of Caleb's formulations, known

2005 - Pepsi invited to introduce new brand cola

PEPSICO IN INDIA

PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the

Punjab government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and

Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi 

until 1991, when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought

out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994. Others claim that

firstly Pepsi was banned from import in India, in 1970, for having refused

to release the list of its ingredients and in 1993, the ban was lifted, with

Pepsi arriving on the market shortly afterwards. These controversies are a

reminder of "India's sometimes acrimonious relationship with huge

multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and  The 

Coca-Cola Company have "been major targets in part because they are

well-known foreign companies that draw plenty of attention."

In 2003, the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a non-

governmental organization in New Delhi, said aerated waters produced by

soft drinks manufacturers in India, including multinational giants PepsiCo

and The Coca-Cola Company, contained toxins, including lindane, DDT,

malathion and chlorpyrifos — pesticides that can contribute to cancer, a

breakdown of the immune system and cause birth defects. Tested

products included Coke, Pepsi, 7 Up, Mirinda, Fanta,  Thums Up, Limca,

and Sprite. CSE found that the Indian-produced Pepsi's soft drink products

had 36 times the level of pesticide residues permitted under European 

Union regulations; Coca Cola's 30 times. CSE said it had tested the same

products in the US and found no such residues. However, this was the

European standard for water, not for other drinks. No law bans the

presence of pesticides in drinks in India.

 The Coca-Cola Company and PepsiCo angrily denied allegations that their

products manufactured in India contained toxin levels far above the norms

20

Page 21: PEPSI Summer+Training+Programme

8/8/2019 PEPSI Summer+Training+Programme

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/pepsi-summertrainingprogramme 21/49

permitted in the developed world. But an Indian parliamentary committee,

in 2004, backed up CSE's findings and a government-appointed

committee, is now trying to develop the world's first pesticides standards

for soft drinks. Coke and PepsiCo opposed the move, arguing that labtests aren't reliable enough to detect minute traces of pesticides in

complex drinks. On December 7, 2004, India's Supreme Court ruled that

both PepsiCo and competitor.

The Coca-Cola Company must label all cans and bottles of the respective

soft drinks with a consumer warning after tests showed unacceptable

levels of residual pesticides.[citation needed]

Both companies continue to maintain that their products meet all

international safety standards without yet implementing the Supreme

Court ruling.[citation needed] As of 2005, The Coca-Cola Company and

PepsiCo together hold 95% market share of  soft-drink sales in India.

PepsiCo has also been alleged[attribution needed] to practice "water

piracy" due to its role in exploitation of ground water resources resulting

in scarcity of drinking water for the natives of Puthussery panchayat in the

Palakkad district in Kerala, India. Local residents have been pressuring the

government to close down the PepsiCo unit in the village.

In 2006, the CSE again found that soda drinks, including both Pepsi and

Coca-Cola, had high levels of pesticides in their drinks. Both PepsiCo and

  The Coca-Cola Company maintain that their drinks are safe for

consumption and have published newspaper advertisements that say

pesticide levels in their products are less than those in other foods such as

tea, fruit and dairy products. In the Indian state of  Kerala, sale and

production of Pepsi-Cola, along with other soft drinks, has been banned.

Five other Indian states have announced partial bans on the drinks in

schools, colleges and hospitals.

THE MARKETING MIX-4 P’S WITH SPECIALREFERENCE TO PEPSI:

Product:

A business needs to consider the products that itproduces and the stage of the product life cycle that a product is at.Marketing strategies will vary according to the type of product and itsstage in the life cycle.

In case of Pepsi, in the rural markets, the 300ml bottleand now days the new small or commonly known as the “chota pepsi” isvery much popular. The Pepsi Co. is even thinking of introducing their newPepsi-Aha, but presently they are concentrating more on the normal pepsi

as the rural market is a niche market. Pepsi is even successful inintroducing the big 1-1.5 liter PET bottles in the rural markets. These bigbottles are very popular during big festivals and marriages.

Price:

Most businesses use a "cost plus" method for settingthe prices of their products. This involves determining unit productioncosts and then adding in a profit margin. However, many other factors areinvolved. Consider "perceived price" (what you think consumers will beprepared to pay), demand elasticity (is it elastic or inelastic?),

competitors' pricing (can you afford to undercut their prices?), pricingobjectives (what do you want to achieve Ð increased market share?increased profits? market leadership? etc.)

Example 2 Perfume

מ How much does it cost to make?

מ Can businesses afford a "price war"?

מ Why is Coca Cola so successful?

As far as the pricing goes, the 300 ml Pepsi bottle ispriced at Rs. 10. But the company soon realized that this pricing worked inthe urban markets but not in the rural markets as in the rural markets,Pepsi is not a necessity but a luxury. They found out that people in therural markets bought cold drinks only if there was some occasion. A pricepoint of Rs 10 for a 300 ml bottle has proved a major deterrent: it haskept away new consumers in the urban and semi-urban pockets, and it

has blanked out the far larger rural markets where annual per capitaconsumption is less than a bottle. So the Rs. 10 bottle was not thatsuccessful. But their sales increased after introducing the “chota Pepsi”. This 200ml Pepsi was reasonably priced between Rs.5- Rs.7. This was amajor weapon for the expansion of the rural market. Pepsi expects thesmall-size offering to account for 30 per cent of volumes this yearcompared with 18 per cent last year. But there are other areas of concern— principally that the 200 ml offering should not cannibalize 300 ml sales.In that case, there will be no market growth. That is why pricing could becrucial. Pepsi, for instance, has reckoned that giving consumers 33 percent (100 ml) less cola at 50 per cent of the price (Rs 5) is not a

sustainable option and can, at best, be used as an introductory offer. Theconclusion is based on hard facts. Last year, the beverage giants test-marketed 200 ml bottles at a price of Rs 5. Instead of growth, Pepsidiscovered that 300 ml drinkers merely shifted to the 200 ml variant, themarket remained stagnant and everyone lost money. The conclusion wasclear: cutting prices does not necessarily expand the market.

Place

 This generally refers to the physical locations of product sales as well as the methods of distribution. However, it is also

considered to be the "place" or "position" in the market of the product;refer to information below. Businesses need to make many decisionsrelated to "place": access, parking, competition, physical location etc.

It’s the most important P in the cola wars — Place. Andnothing evokes more passion in Pepsi and Coke than distribution. Majorinnovation is underway on the distribution front at Pepsi, pre-selling beingthe biggest of all. It’s been successfully test marketed in Bangalore,Baroda and Coimbatore — and may soon roll out nationally.

In case of the distribution network, there is noinvolvement of wholesalers in the distribution of products. It is more likean agent network. The companies have divided the country into variousregions and established a franchisee in each region. The franchisees havetheir own bottling plants and manage all the day-to-day operations.However, of late, the soft drinks companies have started setting upcompany owned bottling units have been acquiring some of its franchisebottles.

In the current system, the strike rate in the Delhi

market is about 40 per cent, which can be improved to 80 per cent in thepeak season, claims a franchise director. The result for Pepsi could besignificant

savings. “Colas service just 7.5-8 lakh accounts compared to the otherFMCG players who service three times the number. Innovation in our

distribution system will take us closer to the 21 lakh figure,” says Vats, afranchise director.

Pepsi believes in direct distribution whereas Cokedoesn’t. It mainly concentrates on dealers and most importantly cuttingcosts. “There are plenty of innovations possible in distribution that can cutcosts”, says a Pepsi official.

For Pepsi, the rural market is a chosen thrust this year. Ithas targeted to reach 20 to 28 per cent of the rural population in the firstyear of this operation. In the first stage, the corporation is planning a

massive roll out in villages with populations of 5000. To do this effectively,Pepsi is focusing on establishing a cold chain.

25

The company has developed special freezers that allowits products to stay chilled despite power cuts of three to four hours. It willalso use traditional iceboxes to sell its product in rural India. For the ruralmarkets, Pepsi is looking at the wholesale route since the logistics of direct distribution are too huge to handle in the interiors.

Promotion

 This refers to the promotion of the product to thetarget market. This is achieved through a combination of: advertising: useof electronic and print media. The "reach" (how many people will see theadvert), frequency (how many times will I advertise the product?) andimpact of the advertising must also be evaluated.

Personal selling: what happens in the "shop", contact between salespeople and consumers or customers.

Sales promotion: use of gimmicks and incentives e.g. competitions.Sponsorship and promotional licensing: including specific products soldunder license that promotes the business (e.g. football jumpers).Publicity or public relations: "adversarial" in local papers or specialpromotional materials.

Due to the cola wars promotion, and advertising hasalways been an integral part for both the cola cos: Pepsi and Coke. But forthe first time perhaps in the history of cola wars, the strategies of the twogiant cos are diverging in India. Whether it’s business or productstrategies or the critical distribution game plan, the archrivals are takingroads that do not meet. Mr. Bakshi of Pepsi Co. is bringing a change intheir distribution and marketing strategies. Now days where Coke isconcentrating more on the 200ml bottle, Mr. Bakshi of Pepsi says “The200ml bottle gets zero demand in the rural market.” He is concentrating

on the 1.0 liter bottles of Pepsi. The Pepsi Co. had used an excellentmarketing strategy here. During the Lagaan mania they were distributingfree tickets in the rural markets along with their 1.5-liter PET bottles. Pepsimade this 1.5-liter PET bottle very famous for their special festiveoccasions and marriage.

Well the popularity of the product has also increaseddue to their advertisements or basically famous cricket and bollywoodpersonalities endorsing this product. For instance the Sachin “Aala reAala” advertisement where even he is wearing a mask along with thoserural kids. Or you can even take the new Sachin and Amitabh Bachchan

advertisement where both of them say “ Yeh Dil Maange More!!!!!!!”Sachin has done many advertisements for Pepsi in the span of 10 years.

Pepsi’s rural market advertisement- Pepsi has unveileda major campaign in Andhra Pradesh, roping in top Telugu film star,Pawan Kalyan, even as the star's elder brother, Chiranjeevi, is intopushing Coca-Cola's Thums Up. Pawan Kalyan, however, ruled out anyrivalry between him and his brother. Though he will sing Yeh Dil Maange

more, his brother will say Yeh Dil Maange no more. “We have our livesand we have our own choices,” he said on the possible in-house cola feud

Pepsi also kicked off a rural campaign, spread overtwo months. Decorated Pepsi vans will roll out into market of the State.Every consumer drinking a Pepsi from these vans will get to play a gameand win prizes. These include Pawan Kalyan memorabilia, T-shirts,autographed posters and calendars.

Explaining the reason for choosing Pawan Kalyan to endorse Pepsi, Mr.Rohit Ohri, Director HTA, Pepsi's ad agency, said Pepsi and Pawan Kalyanwere going to be an ideal combination. “Both are so youthful, energeticand fun-loving,” he said. Mr. Vijay Shanker Subramaniam, Vice-President(Marketing), Pepsi Foods Ltd, said the company was starting an“aggressive campaign” in Andhra Pradesh. Apart from the van operations,which were flagged off by Pawan Kalyan, other campaigns have beenlined up throughout the year.

Later, Pawan Kalyan presented a cheque for Rs 5 lakh to Mr. MehmoodAli, a mechanic with the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporationfor winning Pepsi's Mera number ayega campaign.

Lastly, we all know that though Coke ranks 1st with 57 % of the marketshare (which includes Thums –up too), Pepsi ranks 2nd with 43% of themarket share. The Pepsi Co. has fought a bitter struggle upwards startingfrom a zero market share. When Pepsi entered the market in 1989, theyfaced the daunting task of pacifying Indian swadeshi activists alone. Theirtrucks were smashed and offices ransacked so as to dissuade them fromentering the Indian market. Whereas when Coke entered (or re-entered)the Indian market in 1993, the situation had been smoothed out by Pepsialready, and the atmosphere was extremely conducive to foreignmultinationals coming to India. Therefore, though Coke ranks 1st, it got

this position only after introducing the Parle products who already had a70% market share at that point of time. Presently Pepsi Co. is alsoconcentrating on its other products like slice, mirinda and aquafina. Theirnext aim is to popularize their other products like sodas, then the newPepsi Aha- the apple drink and beat coke to become the new marketleader.
