PREFACE
Today companies must urgently and critically rethink their business mission and marketing
strategies .Instead of operating in a market place of fixed and known competition and stable
consumer preferences, today companies work in war zone of rapidly changing
customer/competitor, new law, managed trade policy and diminishing customer loyalty.
Company considers the fact that today customer face a plenitude of product every category.
Consider that customer exhibit varying and diverse requirement for product service
combination and prices.
In face of their vast choices, customer will gravitate to offering that best meet their
individual needs and expectation.
Therefore it is not surprising that todays winning companies are those who succeed in
satisfying their target customer .If they cant bring something special to get market. They
will not last long. The companies should be market focused and consumer driven. They pay
extreme attention to quality and service to meeting and even exceeding customer
expectation

There was a time when the FMCG companies ignores rural market, they

passed, the strategy and marketing style of FMCG companies had been
changed.

The rural market is the one of the best opportunity for the FMCG sector in
the India. It is wider and less competitive market for the FMCG. As the
income level of the rural consumers increasing, the demand of FMCG is
increasing continuously.
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) are popularly named as consumer
packaged goods. Items in this category include all consumables (other than
groceries/pulses) people buy at regular intervals. The most common in the
list are toilet soaps, detergents, shampoos, tooth paste, shaving products,
shoe polish, packaged food stuff, household accessories, extends to certain
electronic goods. These items are meant for daily or frequent consumption &
have a high return.
A major portion of the monthly budget of each household is reserved for
FMCG products. The volume of products circulated in the economy against
FMCG products is very high, as the number of products the consumer uses,
is comparatively very high. Competition in FMCG sector is very high
resulting in high pressure on margins.
FMCG companies maintain intense distribution network. Companies spend
a large portion of their budget on maintaining distribution networks. New
entrants who wish to bring their products in the national level need to invest
huge sums of money on promoting brands. Manufacturing can be
outsourced. A recent phenomenon in the sector was entry of multinationals
and cheaper imports. Also the market is more pressurized with presence of
local players in rural areas and state brands.

Overview of FMCG Sector
FMCG is an acronym for Fast Moving Consumer Goods, which refer to
things that we buy from local supermarkets on daily basis, the things that
have high turnover & are relatively cheaper.
Products which have quick turnover and low cost are known as fast moving
consumer goods. These goods are also popularly named as consumer
packaged goods. A major portion of the budget of a household is reserved
for FMCG products. Items in this category include all consumables that
people buy at regular intervals.
A subset of FMCG are fast moving consumer electronics which include
innovative electronic products such as mobile phones , mp3 players , digital
cameras , GPS systems and laptops. These are more frequently replaced than
any other electronic product.FMCG companies are equipped with intense distribution network. They
spend huge sums to maintain their distribution network. New entrants who
wish to bring their product in the national level needs to spend huge sum of
money for promoting brands. Intense competition between the organized and
unorganized segments is the other characteristicsof this sector.
FMCG in 2012
India, Asias third largest economy, saw urban consumers spend less in
calendar year 2012 due to high inflation, muted salary hikes, and slowing
12

economic growth that affected both real wages and sentiment. During 2012,
the overall slowdown in the economy has begun to affect the FMCG sector
with companies posting deceleration in volume growth in the recent
quarterly results. Discretionary spending has been hit severely due to the
ongoing slowdown. The prevailing high inflation level is also a cause of
concern for the sector. The trends seen in 2012 are likely to accelerate in
2013. Growth will come from rural dwellers that are expected to see a rise in
disposable incomes due to the direct cash transfer scheme, while urban
consumers will continue to be affected by the macroeconomic environment.
Scope of the FMCG Sector
FMCG Sector in India is one of the four largest sectors in Indian economy.
The FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) companies have faced tough
competition among themselves over the years which is continuously
increasing. This is due to the increase in per capita income among
individuals and also various developments in rural economy. The FMCG
sector has changed its strategies and has opted for a more well-planned
marketing of the products to penetrate both the rural and urban markets.
Marketing, retail, sales, services and supply are the key areas which
generates maximum career scopes in FMCG Industry in India.
The FMCG value chain is vast covering farmers who manufacture the
primary products to the consumers who consume the ultimate finished
goods. The FMCG Industry in India is the third largest Industry after

Textiles and Petroleum with a turnover of over Rs.80,000 crores. Its
participant profile is extensive and includes food and related products such
as tea, salt, tobacco, oils, fats and processed foods, personal care products
such as soaps, detergents, hair oils, toiletries and dental products. Frequently
purchased essential or non-essential goods such as food, toiletries, soft
drinks, disposable diapers. Consumers play a crucial role in the Indian
FMCG sector as the price band of each FMCG product is fixed depending
largely on the consumer class which the particular company is targeting. A
number of variants is offered by each brand in the FMCG sector. Some of
the FMCG companies like Nestle India, Cadbury, Procter & Gamble (P&G)
and SmithKline Beecham offer high-priced branded products as these
companies target the elite and upper middle class consumers.
Growth Prospects
With the presence of 12.2% of the world population in the villages of India,
the Indian rural FMCG market is something no one can overlook. Increased
focus on farm sector will boost rural incomes, hence providing better growth
prospects to the FMCG companies.
Better infrastructure Facilities will improve their supply chain. FMCG sector
is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the market. Because of the
low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the country,
14

FMCG companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the
companies are able to change the mindset of the consumers, i.e. if they are
able to take the consumers to branded products and offer new generation
products, they would be able to generate higher growth in the near future. It
is expected that the rural income will rise in 2007, boosting purchasing
power in the countryside. However, the demand in urban areas would be the
key growth driver over the long term. Also, increase in the urban population,
along with increase in income levels and the availability of new categories,
would help the urban areas maintain their position in terms of consumption.
At present, urban India accounts for 66% of total FMCG consumption, with
rural India accounting for the remaining 34%. However, rural India accounts
for more than 40% consumption in major FMCG categories such as personal
care, fabric care, and hot beverages. In urban areas, home and personal care
category, including skin care, household care and feminine hygiene, will
keep growing at relatively attractive rates. Within the foods segment, it is
estimated that processed foods, bakery, and dairy are long-term growth
categories in both rural and urban areas.

Income based classification
India has a population of 1.095 billion people, comprising of 1/6th of the
world population. India's population can be divided into 5 groups on the
basis of annual household income. These groups are:
1. Higher income
2. Upper middle income
3. Middle - middle income
4. Lower middle income
5. Lower income
The income classification does not represent a real scenario for an
international business because the purchasing power of currencies differs
significantly. The real purchasing power of Indian rupee is higher than the
international exchange value.
In addition to that, income classification is not an effective tool
to ascertain consumption and ownership trends in the economy.
Geographical dispersion
There is large difference in economic prosperity levels among several states
in India, linked to the wealth creation from trade, industrial, and agricultural

development. There are poor districts in many states, classified according to
their market potential. India has 500 districts, out of which 150 districts
(category A) and next 150 districts (category B) account for 78% and 15%
of the national market potential respectively. Remaining 200 districts
(category C) are backward and account for only 7% of national market
potential. Category C districts have 40% of the geographical share.

this product is also available in various packs, so rural consumers can use it
according to their buying capacity.
In the case of HAIR OILS, MERICO holds the major market
share. MERICO is a much known organization & its product PARACHUTE
has reached all the places. So it is a known product, which has created a
good amount of goodwill for the organization. Consumers have confidence
& trust in their product. Therefore, they prefer buying it.
Suggestions & recommendations
The researcher would like to suggest the following points, so that the
organizations can easily sell their products to their consumers:
1. However, the demand of a product is also affected by its life cycle. If

responsibility of the organization to create awareness amongst the
consumers.
2. They should adapt rigorous marketing strategies, in order to sustain in
the market.
3. There is immense competition in this sector. Therefore, the
organizations should try to gain competitive advantage against their
competitors.
4. They should try to reach as many people as possible.
5. For the organizations that are not much popular amongst the
consumers, should adopt Sales Promotion, as their marketing
strategies.
6. Application of 4As has also become an important task for all the
organizations.
