    and eveand eveand eveand eveand eve rything in betweenrything in betweenrything in betweenrything in betweenrything in betweenThe Indian consumer is much more confident today than he/she has been atany time in the recent past. Amidst all the din and chaos (inflation, slowdownand global concerns), nearly a billion individuals are out in the marketplaceshopping for soaps, TVs and luxury cars. Our exhaustive inquiry into consumptionbehaviour and trends through extensive market visits, interaction with companies,market experts and senior government officials, has revealed following insights:

    We expect aggregate Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE) growthof 14% supported by a very healthy underlying household savings rate of 23%. This is about 100bps higher than recent trends and will imply anincrease in contribution to global consumption from approximately 3% now to more than 5% in the next decade.

    Mid and small towns are increasingly the markets of reckoning. Combinedsales in key mid-cities exceed by nearly 25% compared with metros. Despiteforeign investment hurdles in retail, we expect choice expansion to continueacross categories. We expect more than fourfold growth in choices led by both domestic and global marketers. Global marketers presence in India islow, with just 1% contribution to their topline from the country versus Indiascontribution of 3% to global consumption.

    Food and Housing spends are major divergent spend areas compared toglobal averages. Consumption trends, in our opinion, will continue to show a tilt towards services. Our expectation is that contribution of consumer services

    will see an increase by 760bps to 41.8% in a decade. We expect out of home(OOH) and processed foods, consumer durables, personal care goods &services, travel & tourism, speciality and lifestyle retailing, organizedhealthcare, and vocational education to report above-average growth.

    Based on macro and category trends, we recommend following investmentportfolio weights in consumer companies:

    Staples 43% 33%Discretionary 29% 32%Consumer Services 28% 35%

    Some of our key ideas within these segments are Dabur, Bajaj Auto, Titan, IndianHotels, Whirlpool and Apollo Hospitals.

    High aggregate consumption growth, in our opinion, will also lend anupward bias to inflation (as per IMF, 130bps higher than other EMs) and willbe a key challenge for marketers in the country. Roadways have been arevelation in the infrastructure segment, however challenges in power and

    water still remain very high. Stagnating agricultural growth and its consequentimpact on food security is another area of concern.

    About Cutting Chai, Costa Coffee and everythingin betweenThe Indian consumer is clearly much more confident than he/she has been atany time in the recent past. So amidst all the din and chaos (inflation, slowdown,global concern) nearly a billion individuals are out in marketplace shopping for soaps, television and luxury cars. Our endeavor was to capture the essence of all these changes and identify the consumers fresh perspective.

    Before compiling this report we have understood the thinking of individuals andorganizations operating in this value chain, be it consumers, producers, suppliers,regulators or market experts. We have traveled across the country (to more than15 cities and a similar number of small towns/villages) to gain closer understandingof markets and have surveyed several consumers across SECs. We also met withseveral companies across sectors including Dabur, Maruti, Fortis Healtcare,Indian Hotels, Zydus Wellness and a host of unlisted companies to understandtheir strategy in the changing consumption pattern in India. Importantly, we

    understood the perspective of the government and allied institutions by meetingsenior government representatives.

    MACRO TRENDS Aggregate consumption has come a long way Aggregate consumption (PFCE) has come a long way with collective spend inexcess of US$800bn. Over the last four decades, growth in consumption hasbeen in double digits and considering this growth pattern we expect aggregateconsumption to exceed one and a half trillion dollars in the next five years. As apercentage of GDP, PFCE has seen a decline to 57% and is now broadly consistent

    with that in other countries. Considering the significant increase in householdsavings we expect consumption trends to be much more resilient to any increased volatility arising out of globalization. This pace of consumption growth, in our opinion, also lends an upward bias to inflation, which will continue to remain akey challenge for marketers in the country.

    Comparatively, Indias aggregate and percentage of household consumption isin line with those of advanced emerging markets. However, in terms of GDP per capita and savings, this behaviour is at a significant deviation. Considering currentgrowth trends we expect household consumption contribution as a percentageof global consumption to see a rise of 66% to more than 5% from 3% currently.

    Hinglish ConsumerIndian consumer spending pattern, on account of various socio-economicreasons, is still quite different from that of his counterparts in other countries inEmerging and developed markets. Although he has made a significant crossover,he still stands constrained by income levels to a large extent. Food and Housingare the some of the areas which stand at significant divergence when compared

    with spends in Emerging and developed markets. We expect consumer spend tocontinue to move away from food to discretionary and services. The concept of nuclear families has already gained significant acceptance in key metros and weexpect this to spread eventually to the smaller towns and rural markets over the

    next decade. These trends augur well for spend in categories such as eating out,durables and communication. Our expectation is that share of staples will see adecline of 990bps and share of discretionary and consumer services will seeincrease of 230bps and 760bps respectively.

    Heterogenity of Indian ConsumerUnlike other markets, Indian market is significantly heterogeneous best epitomizedby the fact that there are nearly 122 languages and 234 mother tongues withminimum speaker strength of 10,000 (Census 2001). Marketers often have tosegment it in several cluster groups based on varying socio-economic criteria.Urban-Rural and SEC A-E are some of the most commonly used criteria by marketers. Several marketers try to adopt a portfolio approach and its notuncommon for them to reach both Mass (Often consumes half a cup of teaavailable at starting price of Rs 3) and Affluent Consumers (engages inconsumption of coffee which sometimes start upwards of Rs 75 per cup). Thetop 100 cities in India contribute to not more than 50-60% of overall consumptionspends so there are large cluster groups in rural markets which often has to befactored in while planning launch and/or penetration s strategies. It is estimatedthat more than 2/3rds of next generation youth will come from rural India.

    These trends of heterogeneity in our opinion will continue to drive importance of Customization and Reach as opposed to just superior product and attractivepricing in several markets. Besides media (more than 150 regional channels)several other product and service categories also demonstrate this need for customization and micro-marketing. In our opinion therefore not just superior products but supply chains and distribution reach will be extremely critical fromgrowth perspective. Organisations with robust supply chains and distributionreach in our opinion can enjoy growth rates almost 50% higher the normalgrowth rates.

    Mid and Small town India (Bharat) has maderapid stridesFinancial inclusion, improved Agri Markets, Industralisation and Media/Telecompenetration have meant that satellite and other towns now exceed the overallmarket size and growth compared to the top 6 metro towns in the country.Several new towns in recent years, such as Kochi, Raipur, Bhubaneshwar andChandigarh would have got added to this list implying the widespread growthof markets beyond the six metro towns. Assuming growth differentials of 2% atcurrent levels, these markets, on a combined basis, would be 25% higher versusthe top 6 metro towns.

    Importance of the small town has also accelerated with significant interventionby the government through NREGA , a progmamme for development of ruralIndia. Proximity to rural and key agri markets has only strengthened their growth.

    Nearly all consumer brands have reached out to these mid and small towns,and in terms of aspiration and lifestyle, most of these towns appear to beconverging fast with the likes of metro cities.

    Choice Explosion in several categoriesLed by media, the choice expansion that we have seen in several categories hasbeen substantial. We expect these trends to continue to remain an importantfeature of Indian markets over at least the next 10 years before scale andconsolidation assume important features. Our estimates suggest that the averageconsumer choice has seen expansion of at least 3-4 times in the last decade and

    we expect this pace to sustain over the next decade. Currently, combined shareof turnover from India, of global marketers, is less than 1% compared to 3%contribution to global consumption by India. Nearly 2/3rds the top 100 globalmarketers are already present in the country and we expect increased investmentsfrom them that will continue to drive further expansion. We expect digital marketingto facilitate this to some extent in the absence of foreign retailers.

    Youth and Women likely to stay key influencersConstituting nearly 25% of the population (10-24-year age) the youth segmentis of significant interest to all marketers in the country. It is well established now that youth have a significant influence on discretionary consumption and beingtomorrows decision makers, most marketers work overtime to earn their trustand respect. The Pepsi Youngistaan campaign (media reports place Season 2010investment at US$10mn), symbolizes the importance attached to this segment.

    Although geographical and income spread of this segment is huge there arecommonalities such as Sports (cricket) and Films (bollywood) etc. that can besuccessfully leveraged. Based on this groups consumption pattern, we estimatethat they influence nearly 75% of overall consumption directly and/or indirectly.

    Education, Social Empowerment and rise of the Services sector have supportedimprovement of the status of women significantly in India. With job creation inservices likely to remain a dominant feature of our economic growth, we expect

    womens participation in the total workforce will only look up from current levels

    of 30-35%. Women are expected to influence more than two-thirds of consumptionexpenditure in India; and some areas that are likely to see significant growthbecause of their changed social and economic status are Apparel, Food andGrocery, Consumer Electronics and a host of products and services addressingHealth, Beauty and Fitness. According to the Harvard Business Review, globally

    women control about US$20 trillion in annual consumer spending and we expect women in India to achieve a similar status of importance.

    Influence of both these categories is also borne out by the media spend inTelevision and the Press, where we estimate that collectively more than 50% of the spend is exclusively targeted at these segments.

    Brand relevance is changing very fastThe fast-changing consumption pattern in our opinion is also having a significantimpact on brand equity and relevance. Some of the most trusted brands (ETBrand Equity survey) about three years ago do not find any reckoning in thebuzziest brand survey (Agency FAQs) and even in a comparable survey; at leastone of three brands is new. Increasingly, we expect that service brands will leadthis space as is evident from the recent trends in consumption and the recentbuzziest brand surveys.

    Multiplier benefits from banking, mobile andinternet still in its early days

    Although penetration of banking services has seen significant improvement, webelieve it is still early days and improvement of these services can have a wide-reaching impact on consumption. Personal loans as a percentage of PFCE stillstands at a small number, to some extent reflecting the risk averse behaviour,and high savings rate. There is significant scope of increase here.

    Credit Card spend as a percentage of PFCE has seen improvement from 1.8% inMarch 2006 to 2.6% in March 2009. We expect this number to double withincreased rollout of POS. In India, currently POS terminals are around 0.5million and can easily increase to nearly 2 million in about five years. Similarly,the ATM density per million population, which currently stands at less than 40could see significant increase. Global benchmarks for ATMs are in excess of 500

    with South Korea having nearly 1,600 and US having more than 1,300.

    In line with PC usage growth of about 21%, internet usage in the country hasalso seen significant increase by about 31% and currently stands at an estimatedbase of 75 million users in urban markets. The usage is not restricted to merely metros but has spread to remote corners with the smaller towns accounting for higher numbers. This reach of internet, in our opinion, will have significantinfluence on consumption of services sectors such as Education, Music, Travel,Gaming, News and Banking over the next decade. With improved bandwidths

    we expect that rural India will increasingly become extensive users of this service.

    Mobile internet could well overtake the traditional internet if the current 3G auctiontrends are to be considered. With wireless subscriber base well in excess of 585mn,it has reached nearly 6 times that of internet. In our opinion, with technologicalsupport, devices have transitioned to the small screen and now can supportexperience that is available on big screen. Similar to internet this trend couldhave a significant influence on consumption of Media and Entertainment, Banking

    and M Commerce. India has opted for the bank-led M Commerce model with adaily cap of Rs5,000 for funds transfer and Rs10,000 for transactions involvingpurchase of goods and services. We expect this will gradually be raised as usersand providers become more comfortable with technology and security aspects.

    SEGMENT TRENDSThe share of wallet of the Indian consumer has witnessed a significant shift inrecent times and has started moving in the direction of the consumption patternof more developed economies. In the past five years, share of staples has fallenby 4% to 50%, and significant share gain is observed in discretionary expenditureand services. Finer detailing indicates that in staples, share of food consumptionhas declined significantly while lifestyle changes have moved higher the share of consumer durables and personal effects. A slightly worrying trend is the declinein share of medical services and healthcare (however, recent government initiativesin the Finance Bill, 2010 has helped revive confidence in the health sector).

    We have estimated likely changes in wallet share in the forthcoming 10 years. Itindicates a further decline in the share of staples (a further 10% by 2020) while

    we expect consumers to spend more on discretionary services including lifestylegoods and services, education and recreation (combined increase of 10%).

    STAPLESShare of staples in PFCE, currently at 50%, is expected to decline to40% in the next decade. Decline will be largely due to slower growth of food& beverages ( share decline -930bps)

    In the food and beverages segment, quick service restaurants

    (QSRs),organized processed dairy, bottled water and packaged fruit juicesare expected to grow fastest due to increasing health consciousness andfast-changing lifestyles. QSRs will need to ramp up their supply chain fastand get their act right.

    Tobacco and Liquor will continue to grow at a steady pace despite severalimpediments

    FOOD & BEVERAGESFood continues to be an important part of the Indian share of wallet withexpenditure of 39% monthly. The share food as seen in the exhibit below wasas high as 60% about 30 years ago. In fact, the bulk of this massive change hasoccurred in the last 15 years after structural changes were made in the FDIpolicy in 1991. These structural changes provided the Indian consumer withmore cash in hand for expenses along with more choices. At the same time, thetechnology leaps in the last decade have resulted in a significant shift in share of

    wallet.

    The shift in share of wallet is not just occurring between different categories, it is within categories as well. In case of Food & Beverages, we note a consistent shifttowards out-of-home (OOH) consumption from in-home consumption. Some of the important observations about the F&B category are as below:

    India still consumes most of the food 'Fresh'

    India still is a large consumer of staples in the unprocessed/low processed form with 59% food in rural and 52% food in urban areas consumed in this form.

    No inclination to change food habits

    Indians are very sticky about their food preferences and are least willing to changethem. Our extensive on-ground survey revealed that people, particularly in tier 2and tier 3 cities are hesitant to adopt foods which are not fresh. The belief persists that food which is frozen/packed for a long time is not healthy. Moreover,the 'value equation' for processed foods is still not acceptable.

    Out-of-home (OOH) versus packaged F&B

    As lifestyles are changing, 'convenience' will take over the 'value' proposition for sure. But, a key question that remains is: Which segment will grow faster, OOHor packaged F&B? Based on our consumer survey, the perception on variousparameters of F&B are as follows:

    Source: Ambit Capital research

    In nearly every parameter, out-of-home consumption scores over packaged food.Since food preferences are slow to change, we believe that these perceptions willalso change only gradually.

    We have discussed the stated perception with respect to the F&B category atlength in the following pages. In a nutshell, the F&B category will continue tomaintain a healthy growth rate of 11% for the next five years with growth of OOH consumption outpacing that in In-home consumption. After 2015, we willsee some moderation in the growth rates of both the segments.

    ProjectionsIndia currently consumes c. 28% of the food out of home. In 2005, this number

    was 26%. This is still much lower compared to the more developed economies. Incountries such as the USA and China people consume 57% and 51% of their food out of home respectively.

    We project that out-of-home food consumption will increase at a rate of 15%CAGR for the next five years while in-home food consumption will grow at 9%.

    Within in-home, consumption of packaged foods will increase at 12% which, webelieve, will accelerate to 15% beyond 2015.

    Share of organized OOH food consumption is extremely small, at less than 2%.

    A key reason, apart from immaturity of markets, was insufficient presence of chain restaurants. Data on the number of outlets of top 6 QSRs across Indiaindicates the same.

    Processed Dairy India's sizeable vegetarian population ensures a constant demand for dairy products and milk that have been an integral part of the Indian diet for millennia.Per capita dairy consumption in India has been increasing steadily for past few years at a rate of c.2% (volume terms). However, in spite of being the highest milk producing country in the world it still ranks 7 th in per capita availability (even

    lower than Pakistan).

    Affordability has been the only issue

    The Indian consumer has never been averse to dairy products. Only affordability has been the issue. Fortunately, by the efforts of government and dairy co-operatives, affordability has been improving.

    For illustration, milk prices were equal in India and New Zealand (another largemilk producing nation) 10 years ago. (Indians earn just 1/9th that of New Zealanders on per capita PPP income basis). Currently, milk prices in India are 2/

    5th that of New Zealand. Further, in 2007 alone, milk prices across the worldincreased by 46% on an average (FAO). But in India, prices increased by just 5%that year. We therefore see a much better case of growth for dairy sector in India.

    Currently 70% (65% in 2005) of the milk is consumed in processed format out of which 56% is in the form of milk solids and 14% is in the form of packaged liquidmilk. The dairy market has grown at 8.4% in the past five years. We expect thisrate to accelerate to 9.8% (volume growth of c.3%) over next five years withgrowth moderating by 1% after that. This growth will be driven by processeddairy with increased contribution by organized players.

    What will drive Processed Dairy?Innovation

    Rate of innovation in processed dairy formats is quite high. As per FoodBev.com,

    almost every alternate day a new dairy innovation is launched in global markets.Some of the latest innovations in dairy are:

    Yoghurt cooking sauce (Unilever)

    Milk Caramel Shake (Yoplait)

    IttiBitz ice cream balls (Get Silly ice creams)

    Lactose free cheese (Heinrichsthaler)

    In India the rate of innovation is slower but the past few years have seen launchof several new products including fat free milk & ice-creams, packaged & flavoured

    milk and yoghurt, new cheese formats etc.

    At one end, innovation helps to keep the consumer excited, at the other end, itprovides an opportunity to the manufacturer/supplier to charge a more thanproportionate premium for the value addition. Price range in certain dairy productsillustrates the same.

    Health Consciousness

    The world is suffering from obesity and this condition is catching up in Indiarather quickly. More than 6% of the population in India is currently suffering fromobesity with a concentration in the urban areas owing to lifestyle issues,particularly in the metros. At the same time, health awareness is growing inparallel to curtail this phenomenon. The focus of most innovations in dairy productsin India and overseas has been to reduce the fat content. The trend is going tocontinue and we will see more people switching to processed dairy formats.

    Other minor factorsDisappearing culinary skills as consumers lose these skills due to changinglifestyles and rub off effect of tetrapak technology which helps in preservingdairy products for longer time

    Organized sectorIndia's dairy industry is dominated by an unorganized, traditionally informalsector, which involves traders handling raw milk and traditional milk products only 25% of the market is formalized. However the growth rate for organizedsector is quite strong with a 5-year CAGR of 15%. This trend is likely to bemaintained with entry of players such as Danone and Kraft into the Indian market.

    We expect the organized segment to grow at 15.5% for the next five years.

    Non Carbonated BeveragesPhenomenal opportunity

    Approximately 120bn litres of beverages are consumed by Indians every year,

    but only 5% represent store-bought packaged beverages. The majority of Indianconsumers (75%) still consume non-alcoholic store-bought beverages 'less thanonce a day', highlighting a large untapped market opportunity, particularly injuice or juice-based markets.

    Per capita consumption in India is less than 7 litres per annum of non-alcoholicbeverages, which is just 1/11 th the global average and 1/4 th the regional average.

    While consumption frequency decreases with age, it is found to increase withincome levels, except in the topmost economic strata of society. Although marketsize for non-carbonated beverages is c. US$4bn, still, penetration of packagedliquid refreshment and beverages in India is below 20%. The opportunity is hugein the category and corporates are leaving no stone unturned to exploit the fullpotential.

    What is driving demand?Increasing penetrationIndia has always spearheaded the packaging innovation in most FMCG products.The same was witnessed in beverages with lowering of price points in every beverage category. This was particularly relevant in the case of carbonated drinks

    where price pointed packs of Rs5 and Rs10 drove the penetration in rural areas.Even today penetration of carbonated drinks is as low as 35%. These penetrationlevels are expected to increase but more importantly a lot of consumers are

    switching to packaged non-carbonated beverages from home made beverages,thereby surpassing the normal premiumisation curve.

    Rising health consciousness

    As discussed in the dairy section, India is becoming more health conscious. Thisawareness is leading to higher consumption of fruit juices and functional drinksparticularly in urban areas where people are switching from carbonatedbeverages to fruit juices and functional drinks. This cannibalization is leading topremiumisation in the category.

    Hygiene consciousness

    Even today, 0.78 million deaths per annum (7.5% of total deaths) in India aredue to water borne diseases. As awareness, education and affordability improves,more and more people are switching to water purifiers at home and bottled

    water out of home.

    Product innovation in the category has been high, particularly in the past few years. Continuous innovation ensures that regular entry and engagement of consumers in the category. Further, it is also helping premiumisation of thecategory.

    Projections

    The category has shown healthy growth of 11.3% in the past five years. Thecategory shows strong signs of premiumisation with significantly higher growthrates of fruit juices, bottled water and functional drinks versus carbonates. Growthin carbonates was also impacted due to controversies over quality during thisperiod.

    TobaccoIndia is the second largest producer of tobacco in the world after China. Thetobacco market in India continues to maintain its unique characterstics of low share of cigarettes (15-20%) compared with overall tobacco consumption; this islargely owing to taxation policies. Per capita consumption of cigarettes, whichgot a boost after reduction in taxes on non-filter cigarettes in 1994, was reversedin 2008 after the Government of India announced a more than 200% increasein excise levies on non-filter cigarettes in its 2009 budget. The recent ban on FDIin cigarette manufacturing is a major positive for domestic cigarettemanufacturers.

    Despite regulatory measures, cigarette volume growth in India has remainedsteady and there are no signs of moderation. Further, the conversion from bidisto cigarettes is also taking place at moderate growth.

    Internationally, several changes have taken place in the global tobacco industry over the last 2-3 years. Consolidation has been a very important theme. In terms

    of regulation, taxes have seen a significant increase across the globe. Smugglingand taxation remain important issues for countries in Europe and North America.In Canada, it is estimated that 20% of cigarettes consumed are illicit.

    ITC Limited (ITC IN Equity)

    Diversification has been a constant endeavor at ITC, which has a more than80% market share in cigarettes. Agri business (leaf tobacco and other agricommodities) which was contributing merely 1% to earnings at the beginning of the decade has seen an increase of contribution to nearly 8%. The E-choupalsand Choupal Sagar initiative is integral part of this business and is one of the

    key reasons supporting the significant improvement seen in profitability of thisbusiness. It extensively supports the commodity trading business which also enjoysan ISO 9001: 2000 certification.

    E Choupal which started out as a pilot project in June 2000 now reaches outthrough a network of 6,500 choupals to about 40,000 villages and nearly 4million individuals in rural areas. Our field visit to Mogagram Choupal near Sehore gave us the following insights:

    Availability of market information in terms of produce and price has improvedthe farmers decision making capabilities for sowing and harvesting

    Several initiatives have been undertaken both in farming (soil testing, seeds)and infrastructure (check dams) which have helped boost productivity. Wheatproductivity over last 10 years has seen improvement by nearly 40% to about20 quintals per acre.

    Also, facilitated distribution of several FMCG products from both the company (Superia and Vivel) and outsiders.

    Choupal Sagar, which is an extension of the E-choupal model now has a strengthof 24. It has facilitated an alternate option for the local mandi to farmers whoalso obtain a fair price for their produce based on scientific evaluation. Our key

    takeaways from the Sehore Choupal Sagar visit were as follows:

    Choupal Sagar reaches out to nearly 53 choupals. Prices and other paymentterms, were to some extent, better than that at the local mandi . It followed best

    Besides selling its own brands it also stocked brands of Colgate, Marico, Emami,Eveready, TVS Motors, Mak Lubricants and M&M.

    LiquorThe alcoholic beverage market in India is estimated around USD 15 billion. Nearly 75% of this market is made up of spirits and the balance is contributed by beer,

    wines and other flavoured beverages. Whisky, brandy, rum, vodka and ginmanufactured in India are referred to as 'India-made foreign liquor'. The brandedspirits IMFL market is estimated to be nearly 190 million cases of nine bulk litres

    each. Brown spirits (whisky, brandy and rum) account for 96% of the Indianindustry. Whisky is the largest selling liquor in the country with a 62% share of the IMFL market. Brandy (18%) and Rum (14%) are the next big segments. Whitespirits account for the remaining 6% of sales. The second largest segment nextto branded spirits is country liquor (home grown segment). Abut 175-200 millioncases are consumed during 2009.

    Spirits industry growth is estimated to be around 10-12% p.a. High income growth,rising aspirational levels and larger share of young population have resulted indramatic lifestyle changes. Liquor consumption which was earlier considered ataboo is now becoming a fashion statement. Increasing on-premise liquor availability reflects greater acceptance of 'open' liquor consumption culture inthe country. The number of retailers selling IMFL has increased significantly over the past 4-5 years as government regulations eased on the distribution front.Country liquor, which has double the market size of branded liquor, is facingprohibition by the government in many states. Also, as income levels rise,consumers will tend to trade up to branded products from cheap country liquor.

    Beer market in India is estimated to be around only 20% of alcohol sales (withspirits making up 75%) but this is fast changing. In case terms the size is about195 million cases nearly the same size as that of IMFL. Global beer market sizeis estimated upwards of 135 billion litres and India contributes to meagre 1.3%of global sales. Though beer is much milder form of alcohol it is taxed at thesame rate as those of spirits. The beer market in India is duopolistic in natureand is largely dominated by strong beer sales. Unlike other countries it is generally understood that the distributor margins in India are very high in the region of 20-25% as against global norms of 5-15%

The growth has shown acceleration recently as theawareness and importance of personal grooming has increased. Further thegrowth has all important elements viz penetration, consumption andpremiumisation.

    There has been entry of several MNCs in the segment particularly in last twoyears. At the same time, several domestic companies (including certainpharmaceutical companies) have launched several products in the category. Wedo see higher competitive intensity in the sector but the growth and profitability trends indicate a positive outlook.

    Category structure seems to be changing with categories like skin care,deodorants, colour cosmetics etc. outpacing growth of traditional categoriessuch as oral, shampoos and hair oils. This change in growth structure ispenetration led, particularly in urban areas. In rural areas, basic categories still

    continue to grow well as the growth is consumption driven. Importantly, we seethe segment of 'personal care services' growing at a significantly faster pace.These services are driven faster by increasing affluence in metros and selecturban towns. We will discuss these specific segments in the pages ahead.

    Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are medicines that may be sold directly to aconsumer without a prescription from a health care professional (Wikipedia).However, the line of differentiation between OTC drugs and personal care

    products is thinning fast as a number of pharma companies (or companies withpharmaceutical heritage) are entering the personal care market with nicheofferings and specific benefits.

However with massivemedia campaigns, flurry of launches by both domestic and MNC players andsignificant lowering of prices, the segment has seen rapid growth of 48% in thepast five years.

    Projections

    Currently the sector is small and largely unorganized but growing at c.30% p.a.Further, presence of organized players is still marginal, that too largely concentrated in metros. But recently, companies have started expanding their geographical presence. We expect the sector to grow at 26% CAGR in next 5years.

    HOME CAREBecause of a predominant rural background, traditionally, hygiene consciousnessremains low in India. The standards severely lack matching with WHO stipulationsfor hygiene and sanitation. 67% of Indian population in 2004 was deprived of minimum standards of sanitation. India ranks just above some 20 poorest Africannations. (Source: Global Statistical Online, Tata Services Ltd., 2009)

    The growth of household care segment (except Laundry) was slow until 2005.

    Further, most of the category was unbranded with low innovation. But in line with other categories this too has seen a level improvement in growth in the pastfew years. Some significant changes occurring at the level of the end-consumer leading to faster category growth are:

    Urbanisation

    As a matter of common knowledge, India is getting urbanized fast and over thenext 10 years this rate is expected to be 38-40% from the current 30% level(CSO). The consequent lifestyle change would introduce the importance of hygieneand sanitation.

    Hygiene consciousness

    With years of government awareness initiatives and better education levels,hygiene consciousness is spreading fast in both urban and rural areas. In fact,our survey of rural areas indicated that the awareness is spreading much faster there. This trend can provide further boost to the growth in forthcoming years.

    Emerging consumer needs

    As technology is helping to spread information, the consumer is demandingnewer and better innovations in the category. In fact, some large segments existingin markets overseas have started making inroads into India. E.g. air care, liquid

    detergents, different types of surface cleaners, perfumed scourers etc. In fact,the past 3-4 years have witnessed several new differentiated launches.

    Industry profitability

    There are several listed and unlisted players operating in the category. Althoughgrowth opportunities are huge, there are definite concerns about the level of competitive activity.

    AUTOMOBILESIndia is emerging as one of the worlds fastest growing passenger car marketsand second largest two-wheeler manufacturer. The key theme underpinninggrowth in this segment low penetration levels and rising affordability augur

    well for sustainable demand momentum. Buoyed by strong domestic demand,India is likely to account for more than 15% of the global incremental demand inthe next five years. Consequently, almost all the big global players have plans toexpand their presence.

    Passenger vehicle segment at inflexion point

    Motorisation rates increase rapidly in the above US$3,000 per capita incomerange in terms of PPP (purchasing power parity). Studies conducted by OECDthrow up interesting results, with elasticity increasing to over 2 at GDP per capitaof about US$5,000. Further, India's income pyramid is undergoing rapid changes,

    with massive growth in middle and high-income households and a fall in low income households. The resultant increase in the number of households thatcould afford to buy a car augurs well for car demand. New launches in thecompact car segment provide the Indian consumer with several choices, which

    was not the case a few years ago.

    Rural demand to drive two-wheeler growth

    Rural penetration is roughly one-fourths that in large cities (with population of more than 1 mn) and offers the next growth area for two-wheelers. Consequently,almost all players (including previously niche players like Yamaha) are now turningtheir attention to the entry/executive segment. With clear signs of an economicrevival, urban consumer confidence is back. This could further support two-

    wheeler growth with higher level of replacement demand. Two-wheeler financinglevels are set to improve, as liquidity in the system is at a comfortable level.

    Maruti Suzuki Ltd. (MSIL In EQUITY) We met the management of Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. Key highlights shared by thecompany are:

    Rural consumer is largely risk averse and only goes for tried and testedbrands/ models. Maruti enjoys high brand trust among rural consumers.

    He/ She is more inclined towards value-for-money buy with exact no. of features. He is looking at his basic needs to be fulfilled at the basic cost.'Brand premium' makes little sense to most rural consumers. Maruti servesthe consumers well across pyramid with strong brand recognition and'value for money' proposition among lower and middle income consumers.

    Better road connectivity, higher no. of earning members in the family,recent rise in agricultural incomes has led to faster growth in ruralmarkets versus urban markets.

    Credit sales form a substantial portion of car sales. In urban markets,

    70- 75% of the car sales and in rural markets, 60% of the car sales is oncredit.

    Micromarketing works better in rural areas than media advertising.Consumer is looking for a more personal touch.

    83% of the Indian consumers take advice (word of mouth) from friends,relatives etc. before buying cars. 77% of the car buyers do not consider any other brand than Maruti in their purchase decision.

    Average age of buyers has come down to 40 years but it is still muchhigher than developed countries (in 20s) and 46% consumers are firsttime buyers.

    At $3,000 per capita income (PPP basis) car markets across the worldhave seen tipping points. India is currently at US$2,600 per capita income(PPP basis).

    WHITE GOODS

    Incomes at tipping points

    The market for white goods will be one of the fastest growing markets, as Indiais reaching the tipping points for several consumer durable categories.Importantly, top 22% of Indian households are earning incomes in the range of

    2.5 times the national average (higher than per capita income of China). Theseconsumers have already crossed these tipping points and are driving theconsumption. Further, these consumers will drive the bulk of category growthalong with premiumisation.

    Electricity infrastructure issues are being resolved or 'bypassed'

    One of the major impediments for the sector was inadequate electricity infrastructure. After conscious efforts by the government, electricity infrastructurehas improved substantially in the past decade (although still short of expectations).

    Another important aspect is the enterprising spirit and innovation abilities of theIndian companies. These companies have time and again introduced 'Indiarelevant' innovations to bypass infrastructure issues. Some of the latest examplesin the durables category are electricity free water purifiers (HUL and TCS), Battery operated refrigerator (Godrej Appliances), and Battery operated LED night lamps(Eveready Industries). These innovations have been an important factor in drivingpenetration in the sector.

    Global innovationsSome of the innovations in the category occurring globally can have a far reachingimpact on other sectors as well and can present great opportunities and seriouschallenges. We have discussed in the macro section the power of Mobile money.There are other examples as well. Haier's US$1,000 detergent-free washingmachine is already available in Europe. Live TV recording options in DTH cableservices is making TV advertisements futile.

    Projections

    The category has been growing at the rate of 23.5% CAGR for the last five years.

    The growth is likely to accelerate to 25% CAGR as all required levers are in place.Further, since penetration levels are still low, growth will be driven by rural areas.
