How to Manufacture Disinfectants, Soaps and Detergents Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Soaps and detergents are used frequently in our daily life. We use them to wash our hands and clean our clothes without ever really paying attention to how they work. Beneath the plain white surface of a bar of soap lies an intriguing history and a powerful chemistry. It has been said that amount of soap and detergent consumed in a country is a reliable measure of its civilizations. There was a time when these products were luxury; now it is a necessity.

Soaps
Soaps are water-soluble sodium or potassium salts of fatty acids. Soaps are made from fats and oils, or their fatty acids, by treating them chemically with a strong alkali.
The soap industry in India is at the high growth rate and many new entrants are planning to launch their product in this category. The overall soap industry is worth at 60000 crores. Soaps form the largest pie of the FMCG Market with bathing & toilet soaps accounting for around 30% of the soap market, by value. Currently, the soap industry is divided into three segments namely Premium, Popular and Economy/ Sub popular.
The soap industry plays a key role in the economy of India. Though soaps were once products that were only used by the elite, today, the increase of disposable incomes throughout India has led to an increase demand for soaps. The soap products that are produced in India are not only distributed and used by residents of the country, but they are also distributed and sold to various regions throughout the world.

Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The soap industry in India is at the high growth rate and many new entrants are planning to
launch their product in this category. The overall soap industry is worth 60,000 crores. Red
Orange Organic is a startup and targets at entire family with their various herbal soaps. The
market has been segmented according to geographical locations. It further differentiates
these segments into Socio Economic Cluster (SEC) which takes into account the criteria of
education and profession which ultimately measures the financial ability of consumers. This
data is easily available on IMRBINT.com. The cluster is divided into five parts starting from A
to E. The products target the urban and suburban, upper and upper middle class segment of
the population, who fall under A and B section of SEC.
Tactical marketing tools, 4P‘s, are extensively used by the company to market products. The
products are produced in India. There are 4 varieties of soap based on skin type – dry skin,
normal skin, oily skin and for babies. Since the demand for soap market is to a great extent
oligopolistic, variations in price lead to price war which can eventually break down the
company‘s market share. Thus Red Orange cannot provide a better price than its competitors.
But the price is affordable by most of the people. Red Orange will outsource its distribution
channel to third party distributors which allow them to distribute product in massive bulks
amounting to around Twelve thousand pieces. It undertakes one of the largest promotional
activities in the herbal soap industry.
The soap industry has a few major producers of which Hindustan Unilever holds market share
of 70%. Other competing brands like Godrej, P&G and Johnson & Johnson have started to
have a strong consumer base, but Red Orange Organic's product features distribution and
promotional activities will create high brand loyalty for which it will be a strong market share
holder soon after developing its IMC plan. Red Orange Organic, with the aid of its heavy
promotional activities and unique feature of being herbal, will be able to penetrate the
market. But other producers in the industry are posing a threat towards Red Orange Organic‘s
market share as they have moved towards the rural masses of the population. Red Orange
Organic is adopting niche marketing as we aim to target a particular segment and gain their
loyalty.
Objective
To assess the current environment of organic industry, specifically the charcoal soap industry,
and to determine the right marketing schemes in order for the business project to be
profitable and successful.
Vision
Being the benchmark of excellence in producing high-quality organic soaps.
4. 4
Mission
To produce organic soaps that are well-formulated, checked and tested. The organic
soaps must be really effective relative to what is being said on its label.
The main objective of ROO enterprise is to produce soaps that are not only used for
cleansing the skin but also for absorbing all the impurities embedded in it.
Give the customers a perception of smoothness, calmness and relaxation, which is
what they will feel after they apply the product.
To establish the image of a health and wellness and environment-friendly company.
CURRENT SCENARIO
Presently, Indian organic farming market is estimated at ₹ 2,500 crore. With a steady
annual growth of 40% on rising population, higher disposable incomes and rising
health consciousness, India's organic farming industry is set to grow to ₹ 10,000 crore,
according to Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM)
It has been a part of human nature to prefer healthier products with lesser
preservatives and synthetic materials added.
Organic farming can create millions of jobs in the agricultural sector as it can spur
over 30 per cent of employment per hectare as against non-organic farming and this
ratio can further increase if on-farm processing, value addition, packaging and direct
marketing are considered, says an independent research of ASSOCHAM.
The global organic market currently stands at around 65 billion dollars and is growing
at a robust annual rate of over 5 billion dollars.
5. 5
Size of the Industry
The Indian Soap Industry includes about 700 companies with combined annual revenue of
about $17 billion. Major companies in this industry include divisions of P&G, Unilever, and Dial.
The Indian Soap Industry is highly concentrated with the top 50 companies holding almost
90% of the market. The market size of global soap and detergent market size was estimated
to be around 31M tonne in 2004, which is estimated to grow to 33M tonne in the coming
years. Toilet soaps account for more than 10% of the total market of soap and detergents. In
Asia, the countries like China and India are showing rapid growth in the toilet soap section.
Market share of body wash was estimated to be around 2% in 2004 and is showing signs of
healthy growth in these markets. India's soap market is ₹ 41.75 billion.
Indian Soap Industry volume is ₹ 4,800-crore. For the purpose of gaining a competitive edge,
Indian companies are now relaunching their brands with value-additions to woo consumers
across India. For instance, Hindustan Unilever Ltd (HUL) has recently launched a host of toilet
soap brands which include Lifebuoy, Lux, Breeze and Liril-with value additions. The aim is to
meet the evolving needs of customers.
Market Trends
Worldwide compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in 2005-2008 was observed as 2%.
The forecast for 2010-2015, the soap production would increase especially in the US
(First Research, 2008).
The growth will also happen in Asia with a total of 50% of the global demand. South
East Asia has a huge potential to grow further.
In South Asian countries, 4.2% CAGR was recorded between 2004 and 2009
Market Capitalization
Today in the Indian economy the popular segments
are 4/5ths of the entire soaps market. The
penetration level of toilet soaps is 88.6%. Indian per
capita consumption of soap is at 460 Gms per annum,
while in Brazil it is at 1,100 grams per annum. In India,
available stores of soaps are five million retail stores,
out of which, 3.75 million retail stores are in the rural
areas. 70% of India's population resides in the rural
areas and around 50% of the soaps are sold in the
rural markets.

MARKETING MIX AND STRATEGY (4P)
OUR MANTRA: "If it's good for the consumer, it's most likely good for business."
The real buzzword is organic.
‚Consumers--especially the Generation Y crowd--are happy to do away with added
hormones, antibiotics and genetic modifications‛ (Wilson, 2006).

The Production Process:
Each batch of soaps of size 8 will take 4 days to be finished with approximately 3 contact
hours involved.
Employing two unskilled labours, working 6 hours every day will produce 2*2*30*8
=960 soaps per month
Placement
The main target market would be customers who value attributes like natural constituents,
healthy lifestyle etc.
Trying to access every geographical market simultaneously would lead to unbearable logistics
costs. Hence, business development will be done in stages, targeting regions offering better
connectivity with accessible markets first, and then moving out into other territories in later
stages.
It can be observed that there isn’t a huge bias in terms of gender based preferences in usage
pattern. However the major user group is in the age group of 20-30 years, with substantial
chunk aged 40 years or less. However, Organic soaps have qualities which are not necessarily
changed based on age, and hence the market is consumer of varying ages, but as the major
self-sufficient user, 20-40 age group should be the prime target segment.
