Karamchand Appliances Pvt. Ltd. (KAPL) has dominated the Indian mosquito repellent market with its brand 'All Out', capturing 69% market share in 1999. KAPL is now looking to expand its successful 'All Out' brand into Myanmar. Myanmar represents a large potential market for mosquito repellents due to its tropical climate and weak healthcare system. KAPL plans to target Myanmar's urban population of 34% by distributing 'All Out' through existing channels in major cities. An analysis of Myanmar's political, economic, social and regulatory environment suggests the conditions are favorable for KAPL to introduce 'All Out' through competitive pricing, extensive promotional campaigns

up by All Out.
