INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
Consumer durable industry is one of the most lucrative and fast growing industries. The
Indian economy witnesses a proliferation of global companies in the National scene.
Liberalization of Indian economy coupled with the media explosion ushered in a new era
of consumerism. Increased purchasing power and a fluid taste led to the creation of
budding consumer durable market. The growth rates were as high as 22% in the white
goods segment compared to a merely 2-3%growth in the European and American market.
Consumer durable industry scenario in India is a totally different from what it was one-
decade back. Consumer industry scenario in India is totally different from what it is in
European countries. Demand in developed countries is many constituted by replacement
demand white goods market in India was dominated by indigenous industrial houses like
Videocon, BPL, Onida, Kelvinator, Goderej and many other, but the entrance of
multinational in Indian market because of opening up of Indian economy gave these
companies a big blow. MNC’s that are gaining the good market share are Samsung, LG,
Daewoo, and Electrolux.
Indian consumer durable industry is growing and at an over all 12-13%. if we consume
each product individually, the color television market has shown a growth rate of 25 % .
Refrigerator market is growing at a rate of 8-10 % .the reason for high growth rate in
color television market is the now a days TV is not used as a source of entertainment but
also a source of knowledge and education. The entire factor, act as accelerator for the
economy. If we take the case of Air conditioners, today air conditioner is not only refer to
a cooling machine but also an air fresher. In portion to growing incidence of working
couple, refrigerator is gaining significance, more and more as an instrument to store and
recycled the readymade victuals. In spite of many value added services that are being
offered by most of brand, the refrigerator market is still biting the dust. Refrigerators
market stood at 2.2million in years 2003 and 2.15 in 2005.and is expected than in 2006-
2007 refrigerators market will be 2.25 million units.
3
Washing machines market is showing the growth rate of 20-25%. Washing machines
market of 1.05million units in the year 2005 and in the year 2006 it is expected to be 1.34
million units, washing machines market is dominated by the Rs 2600 crores Videocon,
Rs 792.42 crores Whirlpool, Rs.2108 crores BPL and the Rs 278.24 crores IFB
Electrolux, Samsung, LG, Daewoo are the new entrant and gaining sales very rapidly
specially Electrolux.
Electronics is the fastest growing industry in India, in the liberalized economic scenario,
electronics has entered in every walk to of our life’s and has enchanted the quality of life
that is enjoyed by our consumer India is no longer a country, a market where the
consumer has to realized almost entirely on the influx of smuggled electronics items to
satisfied its need. The Indian electronic industry has through up competitive player who
are not only able to cater to the desires of the Indian consumer successfully, but have also
emerged as very successful exporter of electronic woods to the rest of the world. This has
all happened in the last twenty-year or so. A couple of decade ago, no body in his widest
dreamed could have ever imagines that consumer goods bearing Indian brands, built up
assiduously by Indian companies would come to dominate Indian industry. There could
have been two reasons for so little faith in Indian goods. Firstly, the Indian pubic
unhidden groups like BPL, Videocon, and Onida, that Indian brands now dominate the
markets. These corporate houses have upset the apple chart of foreign companies by
establishing consumer durable manufacturing companies than thane not only consistently
produces superior products but have also aerate in a very short span, brand equities
capable of taking on international brands. That is, the Indian consumer perception of
bands originating in his own back yard has evolved from one of shame to one of trust
pride, identification, all of which trance late into patronage /or achievement of a
companies core business objective.
The electronic industry is one of the bedrocks of the global industrial development. The
electronic industry was for long the domain of first world economics. The 160’s saw a
shift, which Japan emergence. Subsequently Hong Cong, South Korea, Taiwan and
Singapore, then Brazil, India and Mexico follow late but China, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Philippines and Thailand had entered the fray.
4
The output of the global electronics is expected to reach $ 1.3 Trillion by the 2006. The
Indian electronics industry currently accounts for approximatelly 1.1% share of the world
output. More specifically, in the television manufacturing, which accounts for the a major
chunk of all consumer electronics in India we account for the major 2% of the world
color television production and 33% of the black and white television production/ with
the market of the black and white television ordinarily witnessing a negative growth.
These pails in comparison to other Asian countries.
After economic liberalization our country lowered entry barrier and brought global companies
into the countries market place, it was realized that the core of the corporate world must change,
to focus the first time ever in India, on the consumer and to stop chasing revenues, profit and
market share, which will flow only from new consumer competent. Forget to, forever, the silent
consumer who, before of alternatives, uncomplainingly bought whatever products were available
.in today’s and tomorrow new unforgiving market place it is the choice/empowered the consumer
who will decide the fate of the corporation and competition global quality and new economic
reality are comprising to limit the success only companies that are focused completely on their
consumer. For only these companies and continuously monitor and meet changing consumer
needs: stream line process” cut costs and restructure form for quicker response to the consumer
demands. All of which will add up to and unmatched competitive edge, enabiling them to
conquer tomorrow’s market place today. However, the consumer and spending wisely not
indiscriminately.

eat to survive, but eating is not-their purpose. Further more making money does not
provide a legitimate reason for society and to support the moneymaking enterprise. A
society supports businesses as they survey its member by catering to their needs to leave
