witnessed several changes since 1995. In the initial years, the market was

to the big players.
The snacks market is classified into two broad segments Western and
traditional snack segments, wherein western snacks enjoy more popularity in
comparison to the traditional snacks. Moreover, the western snack segment
is dominated by a large number of MNCs and organized snack
manufacturers.

the sector to grow in recent years. These include higher disposable incomes

campaigns by all the players to break the product clutter and attract
consumers toward their brand. In addition to these, the other factors which
are contributing towards rapid growth of the industry include growing
working women population, fast expanding retail network and the
convenience factor associated with snack consumption

For snacks, quality standards laid by FSSAI have to be followed by the


industry players. Various government policies that have been formulated for

PORTERS 5 FORCE MODEL:

Threat of new entry:

As the market is growing at 30 percent annually, new entrants may


consider it a profitable venture.

Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 36

As branded players are priced similarly, new players might


penetrate by adopting a lower price or by offering more grammage at
the same price.

New players with a distinct USP and marketing strategy may find it
easier to enter the market.

Unorganized players still account for half of the total wafer


segment, thereby discouraging market entry.

Veteran players such as Fritolay, Haldiram etc enjoy economies of


scale, well-established distribution and good distributor relations

HENCE, THE THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS IS MODERATE.

Competitive Rivalry

High Competition Branded Players involved in cut-throat


competition to increase market share, entice new consumers, find new
markets

Low Quality differences among branded players.

Quality difference between branded and unbranded offerings is


offset by low price offered by unbranded players

Cost of switching is low as all players have a similar pricing


strategy

Brand Loyalty is high for branded players

HENCE, THE THREAT OF COMPETITIVE RIVALRY IS HIGH.

Bargaining power of suppliers

Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 37

Suppliers provide raw materials such as potatoes, spices and other


ingredients. Their ability to raise input costs is high.

Higher cost of input commodities leads to lower margins, making


the market unattractive for distributors and retailers (in an already
low-margin, high-volume market)

Shortage of any input material may also affect production and


thereby impact distribution.

Veteran players like Fritolay and ITC already have a wellestablished network of suppliers. ITCs e-choupal venture permits a
steady supply of raw materials at the lowest price.

HENCE, THE BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS IS HIGH.

Threat of substitutes.

Indian Snack Segment is high-volume, low-involvement driven


(thrives on impulse buy)

All snacks are considered to be substitutes of each other


Biscuits, Wafers and local snacks like Chakli, banana chips, farsan etc
are all substitutes of one another

HENCE, THE THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES IS HIGH.

According to P.V. Young we may define research methodology as
scientific undertaking which by means of logical and systematized
method, aims to discover new facts.
Brand Positioning
Positioning a brand is serious business. There are several key
questions which have to be answered in brand positioning. First, we
determine WHAT dimensions are critical to the positioning. This has
everything to do with the target customers. Then, we need to
understand WHERE the brand is currently positioned, assuming we
are already in market, against these brand criteria. Often this sort of
analysis is conducted to determine what GAPS are underserved,
which presents a potential positioning opportunity of WHERE we
would like to be positioned. We then need to determine if the new
positioning opportunity is purely a matter of messaging or a matter of
bolstering our offerings.
Objective of the research study
The objective of the study is to check the awareness regarding the
brand EURO in the market, to study its demand in the market and to

Analysis and Interpretation:-

Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 58

From this we can analyzed that maximum retailers offers Lays wafers. The reason is
because of strong brand awareness. Customers are very much aware about the brand. On
asking the retailers the reason for stocking Lays in their stores they said that customers
have very much associated confectionaries to Lays. They demand lays the most. It is
because of strong brand equity being created by the brand. Also the customers are very
satisfied with the quality and packaging being offered by the brand. These is all reasons
compels the retailers to stock the products of Lays.
Balaji wafers have also built their strong brand equity. Retailers said that the customers
are happy with the product. They find the quantity being provided by the company as the
best factor. Also the taste of the wafers is good as per the customers. They even provide
quality product. But the Balaji wafers lack the brand equity. Balaji wafers dont advertise
their product more. This is the reason why they are being consumed less by the
customers.
If we talk about Euro, being new in the market, it has quickly captured the attention of
the customers. The customers do demand about the Euro products. Reason being the
strong advertisement budget kept by the company. Euro has tried everything to generate
the awareness for their product. They sponsored various events, had invested in hoardings
etc and this is paying to the company through quick customer growth. Even retailers are
happy with the product. The company does provide a quality product with attractive
packaging which is very much liked by the kids as well as youths.

Analysis and Interpretation:As we can say from the analysis that 68% of retailers think Lays provide the appropriate
quality in terms of taste, packaging and crispiness. The reason behind is the frequent
purchases being made by the customers. On asking the retailers why they feel so they
Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 60

said that the customers demand of Lays wafers forces them to think about the same.
Customers associate Lays with quality. They feel much secured with their purchase. So
as per the retailers Lays provide quality.
The retailers even think Euro is providing a better packaged product. The taste of the
wafers is also admired by the customers. But being less advertised as discuss above
customer prefers them less over lays.
Only 36% of retailers feel that Euro is best in terms of taste, packaging and crispiness.
Euro product taste good as said by one retailer and also their packaging is good but being
a new product and less aware by the customers they prefer Lays and Balaji over Euro, but
Euro is also gaining popularity as said by one of the retailer.

Analysis and Interpretation:We can say from the graph that the best sale service as per retailers is provided by Lays
which means that they are very punctual with their delivery system. Retailers are very
happy with the distribution system of lays because they can get the product whenever
they want.
Balaji come the next in their sales service. There are sometimes some delays noted with
Balaji as per the retailers. But this complain was done by very few retailers.
Euro chips come at the third position as per retailers. So company has to work on its
distribution and other sale services inorder to gain satisfaction of retailers as well as the
customers.

Analysis and Interpretation:From this analysis, we can interpret that the best margin is provided by the Balaji
Company. Retailers can earn good profit by selling Balaji products. But if we look at the
buying behavior of customers of Mumbai, they are more interested in buying product

Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 64

with good brand equity. So because of this reason as we can say from the analysis that
though only 11% of retailers consider that the Lays provide the best margin, which means
89% of retailers dont agree with this, still they stock the Lays product in their store. The
only reason behind this is the demand of the product. Retailers have to compulsorily get
the stock of Lays so that the customers dont go unsatisfactorily.
Of those 11% of retailers who think that lays provide best margin, 73% of retailers sell
only Lays product in their stores. So they had no option but to select Lays as their choice.
If we look at Euro, 24% of retailers think that provide best margin. So the company has
to work on its margin level so that more of the retailers would demand Euro because of
good margin of profit being provided by the company.

product so that they can earn a good profit. Here stands the chance for the Euro Company
to outperform the competitors. As we have seen before the company does have a good
brand image, they do provide qualitative product and also have a good packaging. So if
the company can work on its cost and if they provide the retailers with good margin, they
would stock the Euro products. Also they would promote the product by displaying first
the Euro products and then the rest of the products. This would help the company in
increasing the sales and also the retailers would prefer the Euro products.

Analysis and Interpretation:From this analysis, we can say that the maximum selling brand amongst all was Lays. We
have discussed all the reasons for the same before. The company has good brand image,

Som-Lalit Institute of Management Studies (SLIMS)

Euro India Fresh Foods Pvt. Ltd. 67

it provides quality product, has a good taste, packaging and crispiness in its product.
These all reasons make it favourable for the customers to buy the lays product.
Euro has to work a little more on its brand image. The company is already doing well
with it but the efforts are concentrated only to the regional level. Time has arrived
wherein the company should go national to gain wide recognition.

7. Type/Flavors
It was an open ended question wherein the retailers where asked about highest selling
flavors of wafers wherein they voted for salty, cream & onion and tomato flavor.

Analysis and Interpretation:From this analysis we can say that the maximum snacks sell at the price of 10. Customers
are not ready to purchase the snacks at the rate of 20. So its a great opportunity and
chance for all the company to stop selling the product at 5 and make the packages of Rs.
10. This would help them earning more. Also retailers can earn good margin on Rs 10
product rather than on Rs 5 product.

Analysis and Interpretation:Customers today want variety in what so ever they purchase. Retailers inorder to keep
their customers happy ensures that their customers get whatever they demand. So
providing variety is one of the ways of having a competitive edge over the rivals. The
same strategy is being adopted by Lays. Lays provide wide variety of products in their
one product category say for example wafers. One can get vast variety in it. Also they
introduced new flavors based upon the occasion. This gives chance to the customers to
taste new varieties.
So providing variety is crucial in building brand. The same strategy is being adopted by
Balaji. But Balaji dont have many varieties though it offers some.
Euro in its initial stage is providing the variety but it is not enough. They will have to
work on their R&D to get some new flavors and varieties previously not been consumed
by anyone. This would enhance their brand image.

availability of all the products of EURO on time without any delay.

2) POPULARITY OF THE PRODUCT


When I asked about customers preference or about the product highly demanded by the
customers, the retailers said that
-

Highest demand is for potato chips

Second is for Farali Chevdo

Third is for namkeens like ratlami sev etc.

Fourth is for sing.

3) OPTION FOR UNSOLD GOODS


For unsold goods dealers should provide option like money back or changing of the stock
etc. EURO dealers also give the option of replacement it is one of the good techniques of
promoting the product. All the retailers got replacement facility however in reality most
of the retailers said that there hasnt been the case of unsold stock.
