26. Future growth options
• The paint industry is in growth stage in India as
construction activity has a high priority.
• To keep their dominant position Asian Paints should
pursue vigorous R & D for innovative products .
• Increase the number of depots for covering the entire
country
• Has launched E-Strides, an ERP (Enterprise resource planning)
• Predator pricing- Predatory pricing (also undercutting) is a risky, and
dubious pricing strategy where a product or service is set at a very
low price, intending to drive competitors out of the market, or create
barriers to entry for potential new competitors
