 Introduction

Research project work in “Study of Marketing Strategy of Television Industry in

Lucknow ” Television Industry is very Popular Electronic Industry in all over world.

The following report studies the television industry in India and in particular the
position of the television brand- Samsung, L.G, Sony etc. The corporate name is recognized as
brand not so much its individual products. The strategies adopted are then analyzed for each
product offering.

The report initially focuses on an examination of the industry environment and the
product class. Most of the people familiar about television industry. Satisfaction level of the
customer is highly & Consumer awareness is high. The product then goes on to analyze the
corporate, marketing and advertising strategies adopted by the selected company and its main
competitors. It concludes by looking at the future challenges for the industry and the company.

Today life seems impossible without the Electronics that forms a major part of the
human life. Can you imagine the evening without the television set? Or a hot cup of coffee at
the press of the button ? The convenience of living a bachelor’s life thanks to the microwave?

The at-home pop corn maker that adds to he joys of the home theater system you
own? These may be advanced gadgets, but what about a day without basic electricity? Seems
depressing doesn’t it.
A part from the innumerable gizmos and gadgets being invented and produced each year, there
is constant advancement in another prime area of electronics- information technology. This
encompasses the entire field pertaining to communication systems the includes the computer
systems satellites cell phones etc.

Electronics is seeing such advancement that scientists in the recent past are working
towards bringing to the fore the functioning of artificial intelligence. Which they claim would
reduce man’s load by almost half. Wow seems totally amazing!
 Well on the brighter side life may become fast paced and simple, as everything would
happen with the press of a few buttons once the wired connections have been made: but then
there is the flip side- becoming a slave of the automated life.
This basically implies that in case of an electronics breakdown, the first thing that a person
does is press the panic button and then feel totally immobile and paralyzed until things are
necessary to balance life- manual and electronics.

To study the consumer buying behavior in relation to television I prepare a

Questionnaire and collect the primary data and after analysis of primary data.

Consumer buying behavior of television industry and also to study the Industry Structure and
Dynamics. Advertising plays an important role in creating brand awareness, brand recall and
brand recognition which are important role in creating brand awareness brand recall and brand
recognition which are important in helping a customer make purchase decision of that brand.
Brand should adopt itself to the local culture.
 WELCOME TO ELECTRONICS

By connecting science and technology from across the company. DuPont has become a leading
supplier of electronic and advanced display materials. DuPont offers a broad semiconductor
fabrication and packaging. DuPont also provides a wide range of products targeted to the fast
growing display industry, enabling the manufacture of advanced OLED, LCD, PDP displays
and more.

SIZE OF THE INDUSTRY

The electronic industry in India constitutes just 0.7% of the global electronic industry. Hence
it is miniscule by international comparison. However the demand in the Indian market is
growing rapidly and investments are flowing in to augment manufacturing capacity. India
however remains a major importer of electronics materials, components and finished equipment
amounting to over US$12 Billion in 2005. This is not a desirable situation and local
manufacturing has to keep pace with growing local demand.

The output of the electronic hardware industry in India is worth $11.6 Bn at present. The
breakup of production in various segments the industry is as shown below:

India is also anexporter of a vast range of electronics components and products for the
following segments-
● sDisplay technologies
● Entertainment electronics
● Optical Storage devices
● Passive components
● Electromechanical components
● Telecom equipment
● Transmission & Signaling equipment
● Semiconductor designing
● Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS)

 The Electronic Industry of India

M. Pecht, R. Sharma, D. Bansal and P. Srinivasan (CALCE EPSC, University of Maryland)

India is the fifth largest economy in the world and has the second largest gross domestic
product among the emerging economics. Owing to its large population the potential consumer
demand is ever increasing and consequently under appropriate conditions, strong growth
performance can be expected. The liberalization of the Indian economy that began in 1991 has
started changing regularly financial and monetary policies leading to a higher pace of growth.
The software industry in India is already a world leader. The electronics industry is likely to
follow.

This books covers important aspects of the Indian electronics industry, it discusses the
historical background of its development outlines tax structure market strategies and economics
policies tracks the growth of telecommunication consumer electronics computer hardware and
software, and medical electronics system describes problems facing the Industries pertaining to
power, transportation, communication networks and power environmental considerations: and
presents directions and strategies for radical industrial growth in the future. An extensive list of
India’s electronics industry companies and their contact information is also provided.

ABOUT ELCINA

ELCINA was established in 1967 when India’s Electronics industry was still in its infancy.
Since then ELCINA has been well known as an interactive forum for electronics and it
manufacturer. A part from the basic objective of promoting hardware manufacturing through
active representation and advice to the government. ELCINA has been networking with
national and international technical institutions and business promotion bodies to further the
interest of its members today in an increasingly liberalized environment, there is greater focus
on professional and value-added services rendered by the Association to the Electronics and IT
Community.

As India’s oldest and largest electronics association, ELCINA has always remained committed
to the promotion of electronics manufacturing culture in the country, focusing on components-
the building blocks of electronics industry. ELCINA now renamed as ELCINA Electronics
Industries Association of India. Has widened its horizons and broadened its activities to the
include the development of entire Electronics and IT hardware, including components &
assemblies, consumer electronics, telecom IT industrial / professional, defense/ strategic
electronics and other emerging areas like medical and automobile electronics embedded
systems and hardware design.
ELCINA continues to work towards correlating the common interest of electronic hardware
manufacturers with that of manufacturers of electronic materials machinery and service
providers, for acceleration growth.

ELCINA has taken the initiative to create awareness on issues impacting hardware
manufacturing such as policy and environmental developments, drawing up a well- defined
agenda for both- the Government as well as the industry. ELCINA believes that the
government and the industry need to work together to stimulate manufacturing and catalyze an
IT/ electronics boom that is sustainable. In sync with this philosophy, ELCINA is persistently
working for changes that would strength India’s electronics and IT manufacturing base and
make it a leader on the world electronics map.

Overview

The electronic industry in India took off around 1965 with an orientation towards space and
defense technologies. This was rigidly controlled and initiated by the government. This was
followed by developments in consumer electronics mainly with transistor radio, Black & White
TV, Calculators and other audio products color television soon followed. In 1982- a significant
year in the history of television in India- The government allowed thousands of color TV sets to
be imported into the country to coincide with the broadcast of Asian Games in New Delhi.
1985 saw the advent of computers and telephone exchanges, which were succeeded by digital
exchanges in 1988. The period between 1984 to 1990 was the golden period for electronics
during which the industry witnessed continuous and rapid growth.

From 1991 onwards, there was first an economic crises triggered by the Gulf War which was
followed by political and economic uncertainties within the country. Pressure on the electronic
industry remained though growth and developments have convergence of technologies.
After the software boom in mid 1990’s India’s focus shifted to software. While the hardware
sector was treated with indifference by successive governments. Moreover the steep fall in
custom tariffs made the hardware sector suddenly vulnerable to international competition. In
1997 the ITA agreement was signed at the WTO where India committed itself to total
elimination of all customs duties on it hardware by 2005. In the subsequent years a number of
companies turned sick and had to be closed down.

CURRENT SCENARIO

IN recent years the electronics industry was growing at a brisk pace. It is currently worth $ 10
Billion but according to estimates has the potential to reach $ 40 Billion by 2010. The largest
segment is the consumer electronics segment. While it largest export segment is of
components.
 INDIAN SUCCESS STORIES

India has a large base of manufacturing capability in display technologies and has progressed
steadily from conventional B/P Picture tubes to flat color display tubes and plasma displays.

SAMUELS GROUPS

The Samuel group is the largest Indian integrated manufacturer of a wide range of display
devices kike color and B$W TV picture tubes, tubes for avionics, medical and industrial
applications, CRT glass electron guns, heaters and cathodes deflection yokes and engineering

due to technical skills available here.

Among ELCINA members there are over 160 ISO 9001 and over 50UL certified companies
manufacturing components with a strong focus on TQM.
 THE INDIAN MARKET

The growing Indian market for electronics products is over US$25 bn and is growing at about-
30% per annum! At this rate it is projected to exceed US$70 bn by 2010 and US$158 Bn by
2015. This growth has attracted global player to Indian and Leaders like Solectron, Flextronics,
Jabil, Nokia, Elcoteq and many more have made large investment to excess the Indian market.
In consumer electronics Korean companies such as LG and Samsung have made commitments
by establishing large manufacturing facilities and now enjoy a significant share in the growing
market for products such as Televisions CD/DVD players.

The growth in telecom products demand has been breathtaking and India is making 2 million
mobile phones users every month with telecom penetration of around 10% this growth is
expected to continue atleast over the next decade. Penetration level in other high growth
products are equally and growth in demand for Computer/IT products auto electronics medical,
industrial as well as consumer electronics is equally brisk. Combined with low penetration
levels and the Indian economy growing at an impressive 7% per annum the projection of a
US$150 bn + market is quite realistic and offers an excellent opportunity to electronic players
worldwide.
INDIAN ELECTRONIC INDUSTRY ‘SCALES NEW HEIGHTS’

The consumer electronics market is one of the largest segments in the electronics industry in
India. With a market size of USD$ 3.89 billion in 2006, catering to a population of more than
1 billion people, the consumer electronics industry in India is poised for strong growth in the
year to come.
iSuppli Corp. predicts the Indian audio/video consumer electronics industry will grow to $
6.59 billion by 2011, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CGAR) of 10.0 percent from $
4.5 billiion in 2007.

The growth will be aided by a multitude of factor, including: growing consumer confidence
due to rising disposable incomes; easy financing schemes that are making purchase possible;
increased local manufacturing; expanding distribution networks; sporting events, such as
Cricket World Cup.

Television continues to be the mainstay of the consumer electronics industry in India with the
transition slowly occurring to newer technologies such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and
plasma display panel (PDP).

Most players in the consumer electronics industry have introduced products in the flat panel
display (FDP) segment, and for new companies- especially the Korean chaebols- FDP remains
a focus area.

But the Indian market continues to exhibit contradictions that may be unique to this market.

On the one hand, campaign promises have prompted the free distribution of 7.5 million 14-inch
CRT television sets worth USD$75 each to families below the poverty line in one electoral
state over the period of three years.

On the other hand, FDP sets are available for USD$3,000 in India. Although, black and white
television are obsolete elsewhere in the world, they still sell in large numbers in India.

Companies are focusing on customizing products to suit Indian tastes, thereby creating a niche
for themselves.

Several companies are conducting market research in order to understand the psyche of an
Indian consumer. The inputs from this research are determining product attributes and pricing
and accordingly are achieving better acceptance among consumers.
By conducting consumer research, companies are trying to identify customer requirements,
thereby incorporating specific design elements in their products.

For example, LG in 2006 launched a range of television from 21 to 29 inches in sizes that
were designed based on the company’s research on consumer preferences for television sets.

In order tap semi-urban and rural demand, companies are expanding their distribution networks
in these areas. The move has positively impacted sales for companies opting for rural
expansion.

However, rural consumers have not been as brand-conscious as their urban counterparts. Due to
the lower prices of unbranded products, rural consumers have been inclined to buy these
products, although they often have poor quality.

As the awareness among rural consumers rises, they are expected to show a preference for
branded products. This is reflected by the established players are reporting higher sales of
products in rural areas.

iSuppli expects domestic manufacturing to be a key characteristics of this growth in the years
to come.

Although electronics production has remained a miniscule portion of overall Indian

manufacturing for a long time, the trend is gradually changing.

The government has been focusing increasingly on developing the manufacturing sector by
developing infrastructure, rationalizing duties and creating export promotion zones. This is in
alignment with India figuring into the plans of several companies that want to cater to the
domestic and export markets.

Domestic consumption is reaching significant size to trigger manufacturing in the electronics

sector.
India also is assuming a significant place in the global plans of several major electronics
manufacturers, thereby positioning it also as an expert base.
Furthermore, fables companies are suitable cater to such development because they can assist
in moving the industry up the value chain by creating design service opportunities for the
Indian market.

EMS and ODM companies in India have been associated with several design companies,
although such relationships represent an extension of their global relationships. However, some
local partnerships also are appearing, such Flextronics deal with in silica for the development
of System-on-Chip (SoP) devices.

Currently, such instances are few and far between. As the local market gains size, these
associations will become more common.

iSuppli believes that there are still challenges facing the Indian consumer electronics industry
as the sector tries to realize its full potential. These include: declining margins for many
players; inverted duty structure; expansion of distribution reach; Infrastructural bottlenecks
(roads, power, etc.) have hindered the reach of the distribution network in India; creating
awareness about new technologies and products; low affordability level of consumer products
among the rural masses.

However, these challenges are gradually being addressed. And looked ahead, iSuppli believes
that India will continue to grow as an important market for the global consumer electronics
industry. The future of Indian market is indeed bright.

Rebello’s recently-released report, Consumer Electronics Industry in India, from iSuppli’s

India practice, provides a comprehensive analysis of the consumer electronics industry in India.

INDIA’S ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY GROWTH WILL OUTPACE

CHINA

India will be the fastest growing electronics market in the world over the next few year,
according to a report.
The electronics industry in India was worth US$11.5 billion in 2004. The market is expected
to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CGAR) of 23% by 2010 to reach US$ 40
billion, according to a report by market research company In-Stat.

Though the country’s total output will be far behind China’s electronics market, worth US$
271.97 billion in 2004. India’s market is to set to rocket. India’s low manufacturing costs in
skilled labour and raw materials, availability of engineering skills, and opportunity to meet
demand is driving the electronics market there. Growth is centered around computer and the
computer components sectors.

“Major challenges facing the Indian electronics manufacturing market are an infrastructure that
needs to be improved at the earliest possibility, easing of foreign investment procedures, which
is underway, and a restructured government tariff that now makes domestically manufactured
goods more expensive than imported goods with zero tariff,” says Brayn Wang, In-Stat analyst.

The big challenge for India will be keeping up with technology trends, said the report.
 SPECIAL FOCUS ON TELEVISION INDUSTRY

HISTORY OF TELEVISION

Television was not invented by a single inventor, instead many people working together and
alone, contributed to the evolution of TV.
1831: Joseph Henry’s and Michael Faraday’s work with electromagnetism makes possible
the era of electronic communication of TV.
1862: Abbe Giovanna Caselli invests his “pantelegraph” and becomes the first person to
transmit a 5th image over wires.
1873: Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this opens the door for
investors to transform images into electronics signals.
1876: Boston ci9vil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and
in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a “selenium camera” that would allow
people to “see by electricity.” Eugen Goldstein coins the term
‘cathode rays” to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a
vacuum tube.
Late 1870’s: Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting
alternative designs for “telescopes.”
1880: Investors like Bell and Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as
well as sound. Bell’s photo phone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his
device for image sending. George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light sensitive cells.
1881: Sheldon Bidwell experiments with telephotography, another photophone.
1884: Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology calling it
the “electronic telescope” with 18 lines of resolution.
1900: At the World’s fair in Paris, the 1st international congress of electricity was held, where
Russian, Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word “television”
Soon after the momentum shifted from ideas and discussions to physical developments if TV
systems. Two paths are followed:
1. Mechanical television – based on Nipkow’s rotating disks, and
2. Electronic television – based on the cathode ray tube work done independently in 1907
by English inventor A.A. Campbell Swinton and Russian scientist Boris
Rosing.
1906: Lee de Forest invents the “Audion” vacuum tube that proved essential to
electronics. The Audion was the first tube with the ability to amplify signals. Boris Rosing
combines Nipkow’s disk and a cathode ray tube and builds the first working mechanical
TV system.
1907: Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing suggest using cathode ray tubes to transmit
images – independent of each other, they both develop electronic scanning methods of
reproducing images. American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the
mechanical model while Philo Fransworth, working independently in San Francisco, and
Russian émigré Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later ReA, advanced the
electronic model.
1923: Vladimir Zworkin patents his iconscope a TV camera tube based Campbell
Swinton’s ideas. The iconscope, which he called an “electric eye” becomes the corner stone
for further television development. He later develops the kinescope
1924-25: American Charies Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrates the
mechanical transmissions of images over were circuits. Photo left: enkin’s Radiovisor
Model 100 circa 1931, sold as a kit. Baird becomes the first person to transmit moving
Silhouette images using a mechanical system based on Nipkow’s disk. Vladimir Zworykin
patents a color television system.
1926: John Baird operates 30 lines of resolution system at 5 frames per second.
1927: Bell Telephone and the US Department of commerce conducts the first long distance
use of TV, between Washington DC and new york city on april 9th . Secretary of
commerce Herbert Hoover commented,” Today we have, in a sense, the Transmission of
sight for the first time in the world’s history. Human genius has now destroyed the
impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown” Philo
Fransworth files for a patent on the first complete electronic television system, which he
called the Image Dissector.
1928: The federal ratio commission issues the first television license (W3XK) to Charles
Jenkins.
1929: Vladimir Zworykin demonstrates the first practical electronic system for both the
transmission and reception of images using his new kinescope tube. John Baird opens the
first TV studio, however, the image quality was poor.
1930: Charles Jenkins broadcasts the first TV commercial. The BBC begins regular
transmissions.
1933: Iowa State university (W9XK) starts broadcasting twice weekly television programs
in cooperation with radio station WSUI.
1936: About 200 hundred television sets are in use world wide. The introduction of
coaxial cable, which is a pure copper or copper coated wire surrounded by insulation and an
aluminium covering. These cables were and areused to transmit television, telephone and
data signals. The Ist “experimental” coaxial cable lines were laid by AT&T between New
York and Philadelphia in 1936. the first regular installation connected Minneapolis and
stevens point WI in 1941. the original L1 coaxial-cable ststem would carry 480 telephone
conservations or one television program. By the 1970’s LS systems could carry 1,32,000
calls or more than 200 television programs.
1937: CBS begins TV development. The BBC begins high definition broadcasts in London.
Brothers and Stanford researchers Russel and Siguard Varian introduced the klystron in. A
Klystron is a high frequency amplifier for generating microwaves. It is considered the
technology that makes UHF-TV possible because it gives the ability to generate the high
power required in this spectrum.
1939: Vladimir Zworkin and RCA conducts experimentally broadcasts from the Empire
State Building. Television was demonstrated at the New York World’s Fair and the San
Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition. RCA David Sarnoff used his company’s
exhibit at the 1939 World’s Fair as a showcase for the 1 st Presidential speech ( Roosevelt)on
television and to introduce RCA’s new line of television receivers – some of which had to
be coupled with a radio if you wanted to hear sound. The Dumont company starts making
TV sets.
1940: Peter Goldmark invents a 343 lines of resolution color television.
1941: The FCC releases the NTSC standard for black and white TV.
1943: Vladimir Zworykin developed a better camera tube the Orthicon. The Orthicon
(Photo left) had enough light sensitivity to record outdoor events at night.
1946: Peter Goldmark, working for CBS, demonstrated his color television system to the
FCC. His system produced color pictures by having a red-blue-green wheel spin in front of
a cathode ray tube. This mechanical means of producing a color picture was used in 1949 to
broadcast medical procedures from Pennsylvania and Atlantic city hospitals. In Atlantic
City, viewers could come to the convention centre to see broadcasts of operations. Reports
from the time noted that the realism of seeing surgery in color caused more than a few
viewers to faint. Although Goldmark’s mechanical system was eventually replaced by an
electronic system he is recognized as the first to introduce a broadcasting color television
system.
1948: Cable television is introduced in Pennsylvania as a means of bringing television to a
rural areas. A patent was granted to Louis W. Parker for a low-cost television rreciever.
One million homes in the united states have television sets.
1950: The FCC approves the first color television standard which is replaced by a second
in 1953. Vladimir Zworykin developed a better camera tube –the vidicon
1956: Ampex introduces the first practical videotape system of broadcast quality.
1956: Robert Adler invents the first practical remote control called the Zenith Space
Commander, produced by wired remotes and units thar failed in sunlight.
1960: The first split screen broadcast occurs on the Kennedy-Nixon debates.
1962: The All Channel Receiver Act require that UHF tuners (channels 14 to 83) be
included in all the sets.
1962: AT&T launches Telstar, the first satellite to carry TV broadcasts, broadcasts
1967: Most TV broadcasters are in color.
1969: July 20, first TV transmission from the moon and 600 million people watch.
1972: Half the TV’s in homes are color sets.
1973: Giant screen projections TV is first marketed.
1976: Sony introduces beta mix, the first home video cassette recorder.
1978: PBS becomes the first station to switch to all satellite delivery of programs.
1981: NHK demonstrates HDTV with 1,125 lines of resolution.
1982: Dolby surround sound for home sets have been introduced.
1983: Direct Broadcast Satellite begins service in Indianapolis
1984: Stereo TV broadcast approved.

BASIC TYPES OF TELEVISIONS

Tubes, Flat Panel, and Projection:

Buying a television can be frustrating if you don’t know what

you are looking for. From tubes to plasma, there are more models on the store shelves than
covers of magazines. Before exploring analog versus digital, SDTV, HDTV and EDTV take a
look at the types of television in today’s consumer market. Here’s a list of television’s types
you will see in the stores across North America.

Direct view – Tube:

Also known as direct view, a tube television is the closest thing to

the one baby boomers watched when they were kids. The picture device is a cathode ray tube,
which is specialized vacuum tube. All science aside, CRTs come in all shapes and sizes up to
about 40 inches. They feature a good picture from all angles, the best black level, and are
significantly lower in price than other TVs. Despite their bulky and heavy build, tube television
are long-lasting and acclaimed for retaining a good picture throughout it’s lifespan, which can
be decades.

Dieital Lieth Processing (DLP):

Digital light processing was invented in 1987 by Texas

Instruments. It is named for its ability to process light digitally with the aid of an optical
semiconductor called a digital Micro mirror device or DMD chip. This chip is comprised of
over one millions mirrors. The size of each mirror is less than 1/5 the width of a human hair.
Currently, over fifty manufacturers produce at least one model of a DLP television. DLP’s
come in rear and front projection. They are not susceptible to bum-in, but some people do
notice a glitch called Rainbow Effect.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD):

Whether flat panel or rear projection, there are a ton of choices on the market for or liquid
crystal display televisions. Flat panel display are by far the most popular LCD television
because of their thin, lightweight construction, which is convenient for people who want to use
their LCD as a TV & computer monitor. LCDs are not susceptible to bum-in. LCDs with sloe
response can show a ghosting effect, while other LCDs can have screen door effect. That is
why it is important to see the LCD monitor before buying to see if the screen meets your needs.

Competitor Analysis
A detailed analysis of some of the major players is done below -

LG ELECTRONICS

LG Electronics rightly understood the consumer motivations to create magnetic products, price
them strategically, position them sharply and keep making the magnetism more potent. Having
understood the finer differences in consumer motivations, it opted for sharp arrow “reasons-to-
buy” differentiations over the “blanket all approach “taken by most of the other players. It is an
aggressive marketer. It focuses on low and medium price products.

SAMSUNG

Initially the strategy of Samsung in India was to create premium image by emphasizing global
brand. After facing stiff competition from the Korean major – LG, Samsung also started
playing price game. In 2004, it reverted back to its premium positioning, although it resulted in
some loss of market share. In line with global digital initiative of the parent company, Samsung
India is seeking to acquire the digital leadership in India by introducing its digital ready
televisions like the 40” LCD projection TV, 43” projection TV & the plano series of flag color
TV.

ONIDA ( MIRC ELECTRONICS)

Its popular devil ad although had engendered a strong emotional pull towards the brand, it
represented no advancement. The company plugged the gap by touting its digital technology.
Like Videocon it has also been able to hold its market share. The world -class quality of Onida
has enabled the company to make breakthrough on the export front. Onida is leading brand in
gulf market & also export its model to Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka & Nepal. I has technical
tie-up with the Japan victor company (JVC). So focused is Onida on positioning itself on the
premium, high-tech plank that it is even planning to push its own envelop on obsolescence,
much like Intel has been doing in its own industry. Best strategy is aimed at further broad
basing the product offering of the company, which has largely dominated the top end of the TV
market, across multiple market segments. Besides understanding the strategy adopted by
different players, several other factors- industry growth, concentration & balance, corporate
stakes, fixed cost and product differences need to analyzed to determine the extent of rivalry
between existing players.

VEDIOCON

Videocon has always been a price player and has an image of a low price brand.
This entails providing more features at a given price vis- a -vis competitors. IT has taken over
multinational brands to cater to unserved segments, like Sansui – to flank the flagship brand
Vidiocon in the low to mid priced segment, essentially to fight against brands like BPL,
ONIDA, PHILIPS and taken over Akai- tail end brand for brands like Aiwa. It is one of the
largest manufacturers of TV and its components in India and thus has advantages of economies
of scale and low cost due to indigenization. It has the widest distribution in India with more
than 5000 dealers in the major cities. It also has strong base in the semi- urban & rural markets.
Due to its multibrand strategy it has at present multiple brands at the same price points This has
lead to the state of diffused positioning for its brand. It has also lead to a cannibalization of
sales among these brands. The flagship brand has lost market share due to the presence of
Sansui in the same segment. Because of reduction in import duties on CPT the cost advantage
of Videocon is also on the decline. Hence it it facinf rough weather & also trying to boost
exports.
 SPECIAL FOCUS ON SAMSUNG TELEVISION

entrepreneur. Demand of television never decline and tat is there for entrepreneur.

Demand especially from old generation continues to be unsatisfactory and to have a negative
impact on the dynamics of commercial interchange production volumes and pricing policies
end up adapting to this situation with strategies that aim essentially at defending positions.
Industry is aiming at young generation.

In the meantime however television companies are being asked to continue their efforts to
maintain their competitiveness. This is also because some difficult situation are beginning to
spread in the industry and companies must strive to avoid losing their competitive edge.

 Industry most of the customer have the preference of Sony over the other brand.
 The consumer only switched to other brands when the price range is too high.
 L.G, Videocon and Sony are the major competitors in Industry.
 Samsung has very good distributional channel in comparison to other brands.
