HUL vs. P&G Critical Evaluation.

The recent war between HUL and P&G is over the advertisement featuring RIN and TIDE Natural. HUL(through its latest advertisement launch in last week of Feb.) openly challenges the superiority of its product RIN provide more brightness in comparison to TIDE Natural, which is the new product the P&G launched a couple of months ago in the mass segment positioning it against RIN as well as Wheel.

The rivalry between FMCG majors Hindustan Unilever and Proctor & Gamble isn't a mystery. And for their new shampoo campaigns the writing is already on the wall.

While P&G is re-launching Pantene next week claiming to be the number one brand, HUL has already taken a pre-emptive action by placing ads that say Dove is the No.1 shampoo.

Comparative advertising is always fun even in the case of the earlier cola wars. However, I personally don't expect this campaign to work as this campaign is more to do with research and is self indulgent, said Piyush Pandey, executive chairman of Ogilvy & Mather, South Asia. The reason for the self indulgence is because the market worth Rs 2000 crore is now increasingly getting competitive. In the last one year, Pantene's market share has gone down by 60 basis points, and HUL's Dove has gained over 130 basis points during the same period. So, P&G is now trying to regain the lost ground and market leader HUL is not in the mood to give away any of their market share. Thus comes out an aggressive marketing campaign.

To support our innovations to drive new categories for the future and to make sure we are competitive in the share of voice, I mentioned earlier that the competitive intensity has certainly gone up and now we are seeing it across categories. Our strategy is that we dont see it ground and we defend our leadership, said R Sridhar, CFO of HUL.

The last two launches from P&G have seen very aggressive comparative advertising from HUL especially during the Tide-Rin face off which even went to the court.

And now with P&G planning to launch and re-launch many more products in the next two years, many of them in categories where HUL is the market leader, we can expect both the companies to whip up some more lather.

CONCLUSION

There is wide competition in between HUL and P&G is over the advertisement featuring RIN and TIDE openly challenges the superiority of its product RIN provide more brightness in comparison to TIDE Natural,
