Need to streamline Clarity between vision and mission
Present market penetration is high; with new product development needed all the time. There are markets, such as the US, in which GlaxoSmithKline is strong and there are other areas, such as smaller countries, in which growth can be seen.
Market Development: looking at entering a new market, that of developing countries with cheaper drugs that can save lives. Moreover for the consumer health care section entering into new market with a high proportion of adult population, similar to the Indian model for Horlicks
New Product Development: looking at buying into the biotech business, in order to grow its product development. Getting into the consumer health care sector with more products such as Packaged foods and it can also move towards energy supplements, another segment of the population.
Product/Market diversification: diversify in the sense of consumer products and medicines; could look at working with other companies to create biologics and could also look at the distribution network in the north and west part of the countries which contribute hardly 10-15% to Horlicks market share
On International Women’s Day, the company launched a promotion campaign that focused on mother-daughter relationships and engaged via social media with a Twitter tag #LoveYouMaa (Love you Mom). in September 2015, the company launched its “Unlock” campaign, which focused on the importance of supplementing a child’s regular diet to fill nutrition gaps.
The company continued to focus on extensions of its flagship product Horlicks, such as Horlicks Junior, Mother’s Horlicks and Women’s Horlicks. Other hot drinks continued to be dominated by international manufacturers in 2015. GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare’s flagship brand Horlicks remained the most popular product in other hot drinks because of its long-standing presence in the country.
