INDUSTRY PROFILE
 Introduction:-
Figure 1
Ayurvedic medicines are produced by several thousand companies in India,
but most of them are quite small, including numerous neighborhood pharmacies that compound
ingredients to make their own remedies.
The industry has been dominated by less than a dozen major companies for
decades, joined recently by a few others that have followed their lead, so that there are today 30
companies doing a million dollars or more per year in business to meet the growing demand for
Ayurvedic medicine.
The products of these companies are included within the broad category of
“fast moving consumer goods”. Most of the larger Ayurvedic medicine suppliers provide
materials other than Ayurvedic internal medicines, particularly in the areas of foods and
toiletries, where there may be some overlap with Ayurvedic, such as having traditional herbal
ingredients in the composition of toiletries.

Figure 2
Dhanvantari, the god of Ayurveda, worshipped at an Ayurveda expo in
Bangalor.
Ayurveda medicine, is a system of medicine with historical roots in the Indian
subcontinent.Gobalized and modernized practices derived from Ayurveda traditions are a type of
complementary or alternative medicine.
In the Western world, Ayurveda therapies begin with legendary accounts of the
transmission of medical knowledge from the Gods to sagas, and thence to human physicians.
Thus, the Sushruta Samhita narrates how Dhanvantri,” greatest of the mighty
celestial,” incarnated himself as Divodasa, a mythical king of Varana, who then taught medicine
to a group of wise physicians,including Sushruta himself.
Ayurveda therapies have varied and evolved over more than two
millennia.Therapies are typically based on complex herbal compounds, while treatises
introduced mineral and metal substances. Ancient Ayurveda treatises also taught surgical
techniques, including rhinoplasty, perineal lithotomy, the suturing of wounds, and the extraction
of foreign objects.

SWOT analysis of industry
Strengths :
 Wide variety of agro-climatic zones which allows us to grow almost every type of crop/herb in
India.
 We also have the requisite expertise - technical/academic as well as operational.
 Only issue is that somebody, preferably a Govt.
 body has to take the initiative in the correct earnest.
Weakness :
 Lack of awareness amongst the growers.
 Lack of Marketing infrastructure which leads to distress selling and hence
 low revenue generation amongst the few ones who dare to venture into
something that is not routine.
 High Cost due to low yield & poor quality of the produce due to non-usage of latest/ scientific
farming technic.
 Lack of proper Govt Support. Often it is found that Stae Government officials are not able to
help the farmer in the correct way.
Opportunities :
 Plenty. One can go on and on mentioning them.
 In gist, the huge potential for increased revenue generation both in the export as well as in the
domestic sector is really very encouraging.

 We have a old cultural heritage of Ayurvedic medicine and hence identifying the correct crop
for a particular agro-climatic zone is not a problem at all.
c) Experts/NGOs can help market the produce.
d) Generating employment amongst among the rural folk.
 Threats :
 Lack of education amongst the farmers makes them very vulnerable especially in the hands of
unscrupulous people.
 Indiscriminate shifting from cereals to cash crop can affect the food balance
 MARKET SHARE
Total global herbal market is of size 62.0 billion dollars, in this India’s
contribution is only one billion dollars.
It is authentically explained that the position of India in the global market is
very very poor. European union is the biggest market with the share 45% of total herbal market.

INVENTORY MANEGEMENT:
ABC ANALYSIS OF INVENTORY
The number of items of inventory in a Zandu runs into hundreds. From the point of view of controlling,
it becomes extremely difficult to monitor each one of these items. ABC Analysis suggests to keep a close
watch over items which account for a high percentage of the value of annual usage of all items of inventory.
According to this system, various items of inventory are grouped into three distinct categories:-
A item: - The A category items are those in which it has largest rupee investment but which consist
of number of items. These must be under the tightest control. These are most costly items of inventory.
B items: - B items are between A and C. they require less monitoring than A but more then C.
C items: - The C group typically consists of a large number of items according for a small rupee
investment. These items do not require any special attention and control.
