NIS ACADEMY AHMEDABAD

Indian Consumer durables market used to be dominated by few domestic players like

godrej, Voltas, allwyn and kalvinater. But post liberalization much foreign company have

entered into Indian market dethroning the Indian player and dominating Indian market

the major categories in the market TV, REFRIGRATOR, AIR CONDTIONERS AND

WASHING MACHINE

resulted in consumer durables as the fastest growing industries in India LG, SAMSUNG

the two Korean companies has been maintaining the lead in the industries with LG being

leader in almost all the categories.

NIS ACADEMY AHMEDABAD

Before the liberalization of the Indian economy, only a few companies like

Kelvinator, Godrej, Allwyn, and Voltas were the major players in the consumer

durables market, accounting for no less than 90% of the market. Then, after the

liberalization, foreign players like LG, Sony, Samsung, Whirlpool, Daewoo, and

Aiwa came into the picture. Today, these players control the major share of the

consumer durables market.

Consumer durables market is expected to grow at 10-15% in 2007-2008. It is growing

very fast because of rise in living standards, easy access to consumer finance, and

wide range of choice, as many foreign players are entering in the market

With the increase in income levels, easy availability of finance, increase in consumer

awareness, and introduction of new models, the demand for consumer durables has

increased significantly. Products like washing machines, air conditioners, microwave

ovens, color televisions (TVs) are no longer considered luxury items. However, there

are still very few players in categories like vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers

Consumer durables sector is characterized by the emergence of MNCs, exchange

offers, discounts, and intense competition. The market share of MNCs in consumer

durables sector is 65%. MNC's major target is the growing middle class of India.

MNCs offer superior technology to the

Consumers whereas the Indian companies compete on the basis of firm grasp of the

local market, their well-acknowledged brands, and hold over wide distribution

network. However, the penetration level of the consumer durables is still low in India.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGYResearch methodology is considered as the nerve of the project. Without a proper well-

organized research plan, it is impossible to complete the project and reach to any

conclusion. The project was based on the survey plan. The main objective of survey was

to collect appropriate data, which work as a base for drawing conclusion and getting

result.

Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research problem.

Research methodology not only talks of the methods but also logic behind the methods

used in the context of a research study and it explains why a particular method has been

used in the preference of the other methods 

RESEARCH DESIGN 

Research design is important primarily because of the increased complexity in the market

as well as marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the key to the

evolution of successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an important tool to

study buyer’s behavior, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and focus market changes. A

research design specifies the methods and procedures for conducting a particular study.

According to Kerlinger, “Research Design is a plan, conceptual structure, and strategy of

investigation conceived as to obtain answers to research questions and to control

variance. Research design specifies methods and procedures for study.
