Indian Consumer Durables Industry
Over View:
With the increase in income levels, easy availability of finance, increase consumer awareness, and introduction of new models, the demand f
consumer durables has increased significantly. Products like washimachines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, color televisions (CTVs) are longer considered luxury items. However, there are still very few players categories like vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers.
The market share of MNCs in consumer durables sector is 65%. MNC's majtarget is the growing middle class of India. MNCs offer superior technologto the consumers, whereas the Indian companies compete on the basis firm grasp of the local market, their well-acknowledged brands, and ho
over wide distribution network. However, the penetration level of tconsumer durables is still low in India. An important factor behind lopenetration is poor government spending on infrastructure. For exampthe government spending is very less on electrification programs in rurareas. This factor discourages the consumer durables companies to marktheir products in rural areas.

According to isuppli projects (India market intelligent service), consumelectronics industry in India is growing at a compounded annual growth ra(CAGR) of 11%.
The consumer durables industry can be broadly classified into tsegments: Consumer Electronics and Consumer Appliances. ConsumAppliances can be further categorized into Brown Goods and White Good
The key product lines under each segment are as follows.
Some Facts
1. Bargaining power of suppliers in consumer durables sector is limited due to threat of imports and intense
competition.
2. Some of the entry barriers in consumer durables sector are distribution network, capital, and ability to hire
purchases.
3. Demand is seasonal and cyclical.
4. Competition among players is on the basis of difference in prices and well-acknowledged brands.
Industry Size, Growth, Trends: There has been strong competition between the major MNCs like SamsunLG, and Sony. In the past 10 years, the global market has witnessed a surgin demand as economies such as Brazil, Mexico, India and China haopened up and begun rapid development. Given the strong correlatibetween demand for durables (both new and replacements) and incomthe industry naturally suffered during the 2008-2009 period. Howeve

projections for current year going forward are very optimistic, as consumeresume spending, and producers launch new enticing variants to grab necustomers. Leading players include Sony Corporation, Toshiba CorporatioWhirlpool Corporation and Panasonic Corporation.
Developing countries such as India and China have largely been shielde
from the backlash of the recession, as consumers continued to buy basappliances. In fact, China has been ranked the second-biggest market in tworld for consumer electronics.
The Rs 30,000-crore consumer durable industry, comprising refrigeratowashing machines, air conditioners and colour TVs, grew at around 10-12in 2009 as growth accelerated from a single-digit level in 2008. So all largcompanies such as Samsung, Godrej, LG and Videocon are ramping uproduction just ahead of the peak season (between January and June) wh
most of the refrigerators and ACs are sold.
Godrej sells around 4.5 lakh refrigerators during the peak period and tcompany is increasing its production by 1.5 lakh refrigerators to cater to texpected demand, said Menezes.
Videocon Industries, too, is ramping up its production of refrigerators, CTand ACs in anticipation of better sales. ''I am expecting good sales thyear,'' said K R Kim, vice chairman & chief executive, Videocon Industries. 2009, Videocon sold around 35 lakh CTVs and is expecting to bump this u
to 45 lakh units in 2010.
While the company envisages an overall growth of around 20-30% this yeait expects the LCD television segment to double.
Samsung India also expects 100% growth in the LCD category. ''We expea 30% growth this year. Every category of durables is already growing double-digits. Even still cameras as a category has grown,'' said RavindZutshi, deputy managing director, Samsung India. The demand is expecteto be buoyant for ACs too.

Mobile Phones – The New Opportunity
Mobile phone production in India is expected to grow at a Compound AnnuGrowth Rate (CAGR) of 28.3 per cent from 31 million units in 2006 to 1million units in 2011.
Production of mobile phones is expected to be a US$ 13.6 billion industry 2011. The current US$ 4.9 billion industry revenue is growing at a CAGR 26.6 per cent. The growth of mobile telephony market is highest in Indwith 6 to 7 million subscribers being added on a monthly basis compared the US, which adds 2 million subscribers and China, which adds aboutmillion subscribers. India produced nearly 31 million mobile phones in 2006 worth about US$
billion. This segment made the largest contribution to overall electroniproduction revenue and the total available market for semiconducto
Starting on an already strong base, over six million users are being addeevery month and are building a large local market for mobmanufacturers.
Low mobile penetration and favorable government policies are driviglobal mobile phone manufacturers to set up manufacturing facilities India. India has now become the second largest market for Nokia phones

the world. Nokia is also exporting mobiles from its Indian facilities to SLanka. Motorola and Electronics Manufacturing Service vendors (EMS) liFoxconn and Flextronics have also set up plants in India.
According to a study by Gartner, though the world’s top five handsmakers will retain a major share of production volume, local manufacture
can be expected to capture up to a fifth of India’s overall mobile phoproduction volume by the end of 2011. Growing demand for low-cost mobphones and the need for EMS vendors to reduce their revenue exposure Nokia, Motorola and Sony Ericsson, for whom they are now manufacturing India, are the key factors expected to contribute to this trend.
SWOT Analysis-Industry
Strengths
1. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas
2. Presence of well-known brands
3. In recent years, organized sector has increased its share in the market vis a vis the unorganized sector.
Weaknesses
1. Demand is seasonal and is high during festive season
2. Demand is dependent on good monsoons
3. Poor government spending on infrastructure
4. Low purchasing power of consumers
Opportunities
1. In India, the penetration level of white goods is lower as compared to other developing countries.
2. Unexploited rural market
3. Rapid urbanization
4. Increase in income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers
5. Easy availability of finance
23
5/13/2018 Final Documentation of Sharp1 - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-documentation-of-sharp1 24/155
Threats
1. Higher import duties on raw materials imposed in the Budget 2009-10
2. Cheap imports from Singapore, China and other Asian countries
CHALLENGES
The biggest threats to the local industry going forward are supply-relatissues pertaining to distribution and infrastructure, as well as demaissues due to competition from imported goods. The lack of well-developdistribution networks makes it especially challenging to penetrate tfastest growing rural areas economically. In addition, regular power cuand poor road linkages make systematic production, assembly and delive
problematic.
On the demand side, customers have increasing choice from bodomestically produced and imported goods, with similar features. Thhomogeneity makes it difficult for players to remain ahead of tcompetition.MNCs hold an edge over their Indian counterparts in terms of supertechnology combined with a steady flow of capital, while domescompanies compete on the basis of their well-acknowledged brands,
extensive distribution network and an insight in local market conditions. Tlargest MNCs incorporated in India are Whirlpool India, LG India, SamsuIndia and Sony India and homegrown brands are Videocon, Godrej Industriand IFB
Future Prospects
Overall, the industry’s future remains robust, and interested applicants wbenefit from a holistic learning experience; Many of the research, salemarke
ting and advertising related roles will necessitate a good on-the-jo
learning of target audiences, who may well be a totally new segment, basein never-before visited Class II and III towns. In addition, those with technicbackgrounds will be able to leverage their knowledge and experience constantly develop and innovate the product variants.

The Project
56
5/13/2018 Final Documentation of Sharp1 - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-documentation-of-sharp1 57/155
Objective:
As per SHARP the objective for the first One month i.e. 11th April 2011 to 1
May 2011 was;
1. Identify New Trends in Office Automation – MFP, IDP and BrandPreference of Companies located at Jubilee Hills, Banjara Hills,
Madhapur and HITEC City towards these products.
This was done through;
a) Primary Data Collection
b) Personal Visits to Companies
c) The constraint being Targeted Companies should have Rs.30 Croreturnover
Target/Tasks: The target was to collect 100 Companies per Group in a week. The Time Frame given to us on completing the above task was 11th Ap2011 to 11th May 2011.
1. Split Six of us in to group of two each to form 3 groups.2. Create Database of Companies with a Turnover excess of Rs.30 Cror
located ata. Jubilee Hillsb. Banjara Hillsc. Madhapurd. HITECH City
3. Assignment of both the above locations to the Three Teams4. Collect Data from Companies located at;
a. Jubilee Hills b. Banjara Hills
c. Madhapurd. HITECH City
Strategy:
Since the Target Group was Corporates, the upfront issues we had to face
was;
57
5/13/2018 Final Documentation of Sharp1 - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-documentation-of-sharp1 58/155
1. Taking Appointments with Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility
Manager
2. Getting Through the Security Guards wherever we Walked Inn
3. Getting Through the Reception wherever we Walked Inn
4. Meeting the Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility Manager during Wa
Inns
Strategy was very simple but aggressive to overcome the above challenge
and was successful to some extent. The same is being given below;
1. Calling up Companies to get appointments with Admin Manager/ IT
Manager/ Facility Manager – Was not much successful. Receptionistsrarely connected us to the officials. They insisted on the Extension No
Employee ID of the concerned employee, which was unavailable with
us.
2. Walking-Inn to meet Officials – Was successful to a greater extent. We
portrayed ourselves as students and highlighted the necessity of
project towards Academic requirements.
a) Security Guards – They were the primary obstacles since they did not understand the
importance of Educational requirement and always insisted on
appointments. To overcome them, we used to use their own internal
telephone and talk to Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility Manager
and most cases we were allowed to meet them or were given an
appointment for later date.
b) Receptionists –
They always insisted on appointments. But on describing the
importance of this survey, they were kind enough to help us. They
some times allowed us to meet the respective employee or got us an
appointment for later date.
58
5/13/2018 Final Documentation of Sharp1 - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-documentation-of-sharp1 59/155
c) Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility Manager –
They were very demanding towards the purpose of the survey. They
were concerned if we were truly from the college or were representin
some commercial establishment. To overcome this we carried our
College ID Cards and Letter from the College describing our Project.
d) Data Gathering –
Initially we started with open ended questions for the survey, but soo
we realized that a structured view was required. Hence, we created a
Question Questionnaire. The Questionnaire strategy has been
successful, and has given all the required data.
Achievements:
The Target given to every group was 100 Companies per week i.e 12Companies in one Month.Practically an impossible task for the following reasons;
a) The Target Companies had to have a turnover above Rs.30 Crore.b) Such companies had to be large business houses. Meeting su
companies has its own level of difficulties as mentioned above Strategy Column.
c) Effective number of such companies is very small in allotted areas.
We have collected data from 75 Companies altogether, with very laraccounts, to name a few;
a) Accentureb) Westin Hotelc) Coastal Projectsd) Bharati Cementse) CISCO Systems India Ltd.
Mid-course Correction:
There was no mid-course correction of targets.

Limitation:a) Security Guards –

importance of Educational requirement and always insisted on
appointments. To overcome them, we used to use their own internal
telephone and talk to Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility Managerand most cases we were allowed to meet them or were given an

c) Admin Manager/ IT Manager/ Facility Manager –
They were very demanding towards the purpose of the survey. They
were concerned if we were truly from the college or were representin
some commercial establishment. To overcome this we carried our
College ID Cards and Letter from the College describing our Project.
Conclusion:
The student should draw together the main issues discussed in the masections and identify any implications of the work that he/she has describe
The student should also describe how tasks and targets could have bebetter achieved, or the performance be improved upon.
The activity conducted by us was very necessary for us primarily for the
following reasons;
a) Knowing our customer
b) Knowing the methods and difficulties of Primary Data Collection
c) Knowing the Brand Distribution of Office Automation Products among
corporates
Task/target set:
60
5/13/2018 Final Documentation of Sharp1 - slidepdf.com
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/final-documentation-of-sharp1 61/155
Sharp the company I was working with, initially assigned me a data
collection job. The job was to collect data from the companies which shoul
at least have a turnover of 30 crores/annum and the target was 50
companies a week, which literally was an impossible task to accomplish
because the areas assigned were having companies of such profiles but no
in that number as the target was assigned and obviously an entry into succompanies was a tough job and had difficulties at its own level. After
completion of data collection part we were being assigned with selling of
sharp’s products.
Strategies adopted:
As we were six students in number working at sharp we divided ourselves
into groups of two each to complete the task with accuracy and speed.
(Here accuracy in the sense we have divided ourselves in a way that weshouldn’t go into each others divided areas so that the data is not
repeated). It took about three weeks to complete the jubilee hills and
banjara hills area given to us and we collected about 240 company’s data
together.
Analysis of performance vs target and reasons for
variance:
The job was to collect data from the companies which should at least have
turnover of 30 crores/annum and the target was 50 companies a week,
which literally was an impossible task to accomplish because the areas
assigned were having companies of such profiles but not in that number as
the target was assigned and obviously an entry into such companies was a
tough job and had difficulties at its own level. After about 6 weeks of data
collection we were being assigned with selling of sharp’s products. Initially
the area’s like khairatabad, basheerbagh, nampally , lakdikapool,
mahidepatnam, and langerhouse were given individually to each of us. Bu
with in a couple of days the company again changed the area to banjara
hills and asked all six of us to do the job at same place.

We got many leads but were unable to close the deal ending in a sale .The
reasons are:
• No brand awareness of sharp in Indian market.
• People were not sure of the after sales service provided by sharp
Problems/constraints/limitations:
We got many leads but were unable to end these leads as sales .The
reasons for which could be:
• Delay in delivery of the products
• Payment from customer is needed well before than delivery that too i
the form of cheque or DD (Demand Draft) which in a B2C selling was
difficult thing to do.
• Price quotation was demanded by the prospects but SHARP was
showing poor response towards it.
Learning during SIP:
• Gone through a tremendous learning during this SIP.
•
Understood the hierarchy of the company .
• Now got a clear knowledge of what happens at different levels of
management and more importantly that of the lower level
management at which I was assigned with the tasks.
• Communication skills and confidence with in me has grown much
higher than it was.

Recommendation
Despite nearly two decades of its existence in India, Sharp has not been able to make inroads into the
domestic market while HP, Cannon and its Korean rivals Samsung and LG appear to be doing quite well.
Hence, we have following recommendations out of our observation;
• Competitive Pricing of the Product.
• Adopt aggressive marketing strategy for India.
• Work on Distribution.
• Increase Advertising spends.
• Spend a significant amount of its ad budget for below-the-line (BTL) promotional campaigns, with mo
Road shows for Metros and Larger Cities.
• Concentrate more on the growing LCD market.
• Start concentrating on Solar business.
• Leverage on Global Technology and Penetrate Mobile Market.
• Open up Sharp Galaxy Shops on a war footing.
• Have Tie-up with Multi Brand Shops.
• Setting up of Manufacturing Unit in India.
• Increase Scale through high sales volume.
• Sign up Celebrities for Endorsements
