INTRODUCTION
Bread industry in India
Bread is a hygienically manufactured and packed snack food product available at comparatively
cheap prices. Major consumers of bread are people from the lower middle class and
economically weaker segments consuming more than 90 per cent of the bread industry's total
production. Bread is low margin-high volume based processed food and bread making is a labor
intensive process.
Bread is the cheapest and basic instant food available for consumption. Though bread is not a
staple food in the country, its consumption has increased over the years. In India it is still a
secondary staple food when compared to chapatti, puri or rice.
Bread is generally a highly perishable item, which has a shelf life of maximum of 72 hrs in a
tropical country like India. The government has made it mandatory to stamp the date and time of
manufacture and the date and time of expiry on the packet. Therefore, once the bread is baked
and packed, any baker will make it a point that it reaches the market at the earliest.

Per capita consumption

The per capita consumption of bread in India is only around 1.5 kg to 1.75 kg in various zones.
The consumption pattern in four zones is
Northern States: 27%
Southern States: 32%
Western States: 23%
Eastern States: 18 %

Size of the Indian bread Industry

Bread industry is 4.00 million tones industry growing at the rate of 6 percent and is expected to
grow at the same rate in the medium term. However the organized sector is growing at the rate of
8 percent. In 2006-07, the total production of the organised sector has been estimated at 18lakh
tonnes.
The bread industry, consist of organised and unorganised sectors, contributing around 45 per cent
and 55 per cent of the total bread production respectively. The organised sector consists of
around 1800 small scale bread manufactures around the country, besides 25 medium scale
manufacturers and 2 large scale industries which were permitted to continue on the basis of their
installed capacity in 1976 when the Government of India reserved bread industry for the small
sector.
The unorganised sector of bread units/neighbourhood bakeries etc. consist of an estimated
75,000 bread bakers mostly located in residential areas of cities and towns. 35 percent of the total
production comes from the small scale sector with about 1500-1800 units in operation. As bread
industry is a low margin business, cost control is crucial in sustaining profitability in the long
run.

Major Brands
The two major players i.e. BIL & MFIL are having a market share of 10-12 percent and 7-8
percent respectively. Apart from these two, there are few large regional players such as Spencers
in South India, Vibbs in Maharashtra, Kitty and Bonn in Punjab, 365days in Delhi NCR,
Haryana, etc and Harvest GOLD and Perfect in Delhi & NCR
Marketing
The marketing system in the bread industry is based on a strong retail-wholesale distribution
network and being a highly price sensitive low margin food product with very short shelf life
(about four days on an average) and resultant return of more than 10 per cent of dispatches, the
industry is witnessing a very competitive environment with the result that inter alia the
consumer's choice and preferences plays an important role in the sales pattern of different brands
of bread in the market.
Handling/ Logistics
Logistics plays a key role in the bread industry, as the proper logistic support enables the
producer to transport his products in the market at the right time. A producer has to see that all
the packs are stacked in solid containers - steel or plastic crates - in order to avoid compression
of bread (reduction of volume) during transportation. In case of bulk transport, producers can
make use of trucks and tempos, and in case of smaller deliveries to the retail shops, the producer
can use smaller tempos and bicycles. A producer also has to make sure that all vehicles are
thermal proof, so that the bread is maintained at a lower temperature. All the products should be
transported preferably in the night in order to avoid the heat and humidity and also the traffic
delays.
Even after the product reaches the retail outlets, the producer has to educate the retailer to keep
the bread away from direct sunlight. On keeping it in direct contact with the bright sunlight,
bread starts sweating which may result in fungus formation, reduction in weight due to loss of
moisture, change in texture of bread, etc.

The Indian bakery industry is dominated by the small-scale sector with an estimated 50,000
small and medium-size producers, along with 15 units in the organized sector. Apart from the
nature of the industry, which gravitates to the markets and caters to the local tastes, the industry
is widely dispersed also due to the reservation policies (relating to the small scale industries) of
the government.
Biscuits and bread which are considered to be the major bakery product and they account for
82% of all bakery production. The unorganized sector accounts for about half of the total biscuit
production estimated at 1.5 million tonnes. It also accounts for 85% of the total bread production
and around 90% of the other bakery products estimated at 0.6 million tonnes. The last includes
pastries, cakes, buns, rusks and others.
Biscuits are estimated to enjoy around 37% share by volume and 75% by share by value of the
bakery industry. The organized sector caters to the medium and premium segments, which are
relatively less price-sensitive. The organized sector is unable to compete at the lower price range
due to the excise advantage enjoyed by the informal sector. The organized segment in biscuits
has witnessed a steady growth of about 7.5%, conforming broadly to the growth rate of GDP.
Biscuits constitute about 7% of the Rs 478 billion FMCG markets in India. During 2003-04
biscuits market grew at double digit (about 11%) compared to a growth of 1.4% for the FMCG
industry as a whole, and 4.4% average growth over last five years (1999-2003).
In India the annual per capita consumption of branded confectionery is still under 100 gms.
Hard-boiled candy is reserved for the small-scale sector. There are about 5,000 units catering to
the local markets. The big players have used a mix of franchise arrangements (with small units)
and product formulations to get out of the reservation mode.

The total contribution of the sugar boiled confectionery market in the organized sector, comprise
plain, hard-boiled candies, toffees, clairs and gums is around Rs. 20 billion. Add to this the
unorganized sector and the market for all types of confectionery is Rs. 50 billion. However, in
terms of value the organized sector commands 60% of the market share. With the exit of MNCs
and other established organized players from very low priced (25 paise) category, the
unorganized sector has grown very fast. MNCs and high-powered advertising support substitute
products like chewing and bubble gums. With Rs. 3,250 million market shares, the gum and
mint market is growing at a rate 10 to 15% annually. Fruit and mint rolls being marketed by
companies with sound strategies are going ahead rapidly.

Competitor
India has few major national bread manufacturers namely Britannia and Modern ( takenover by
switz group) number is very low as compared to other countries such as USA or UK. Bread
Manufacturing is volume driven and low margin industry with an disadvantage of very low shelf
life of products which then requires very robust supply chain management to deliver fresh bread
to consumer daily .The bread market has a business volume of 1.5 million tonnes. The bread
industry has a production of approximately 27 lakh tonnes. The major factors for growth in this
segment:

Brand loyalty

Volumes Strong distribution networks

The major challenge faced by the organized bread sector at present is low margins of profit. Hike
in the prices of major raw materials like sugar, vegetable oil, milk, and wheat flour has been
accounted for the industry's low margins of profit.

The per capita consumption of bread in India is only around 1.5 kg to 1.75 kg in various zones.
The consumption pattern in four zones is Northern States: 27% Southern States: 32% Western
States: 23% Eastern States: 18 % ( ref -AIBMA)
