Energy drinks consumption is at 20-22 million cans in India IN 2007
Energy drink market is amazingly growing and everyone knows it. With that, everyone would
like to try it out for a change because they want to earn more profits in the business easily. The
reason why energy drink market has increased is because people are after work for almost 24
hours in a day just to make a living.
GOVERNMENT IS PLANNING TO REDUCE THE IMPORT DUTY ON ENERGY
DRINKS IN INDIA TO SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY.
Health or energy drinks are the fastest growing category in the beverages market and it is
estimated that over 50 percent of the volume comes from this segment.(MARCH 2008)
The factors responsible for the spectacular growth of the food and beverages industry in India
are changing life-styles, rising disposable incomes of the growing middle class and increasing
urbanization.
In addition to this, increasing numbers of foreign tourists create a demand for familiar foods in
India. Five-star hotels have access to duty free quota, which can be used to source imported
food and beverages.

The market survey of customers reveals that in India majority drin
king habit is of
1. Fruit juices
2. Soft drinks
Energy drinks yet to gain a pace among the customers. The red bull brand is leading among energy
drinkers but frequency of intake is very poor.
Chocolate taste is well preferred one and showing mix response as customers are interested to try
the taste and product. Major concern will be the price of the product. The price of the product
should be in between Rs60-75, as its nearest rival red bull is pricing at Rs75/can.

IMPORT OBLIGATIONS AND EXCISE DUTY CALCULATION
IMPORT OBLIGATIONS –The energy drink having chocolate base can be imported freely
without any import obligation under India’s foreign trade policy 2004 -2009.
So, as it is no import obligation.
EXCISE DUTY CALCULATION-
:
UNDER CHAPTER -22 of excise duty obligations of imported products in India comes under
beverages, spirits and vinegars. (Under section IV).
WATERS, INCLUDING MINERAL WATERS AND AERATED WATERS, CONTAINING
ADDED SUGAR OR OTHER SWEETEN-ING MATTER OR FLAVOURED, AND OTHER
NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, NOT INCLUDING FRUIT OR VEGETABLE JUICES OF
HEADING 2009.
H S CODE -:
2202 will be the HS code of MOZART CHOCOLATEENERGY DRINK.
2202.90.00 will be sub code it include chocolate and brown products.
LANDED COST FOR 40 FEET CONTAINER:-
20. 20
DUTY TILL MARCH 2008
Customs basic duty-30
Add. Duty (CDV)-0
Spl. Duty (add.CDV)-4
Excise cess -0
Customs cess-3
All duty will be in terms of %.
So, finally for 2888 cases (69312 can), the price comes out to be
Rs.22, 87,296 and the customs duty on that value will be Rs.834802.65.
The landed cost will be Rs.3122098 for 69312 canes (40 feet container).
The cost/can =Rs.45.05 (excluding shipping cost)
If we consider shipping cost as US$3000/container(40feet) then total cost /can will be
=Rs 46.8/can in India.
THE LANDED COST OF MOZART CHOCOLATE ENERGY DRINK WILL BE ALMOST
Rs.46.8/can.
The good thing is to be done is that we should order the drink in bulk and since the life of Mozart
chocolate drink is almost 9months so, it would have enough time to make its sale and retain in
market. If the shipping time is reduced to 1-1.5 months the product can make a good market and
selling time.
OVERALL OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS-:
The overall market potential is very good and the market growth rate is almost 50% annually.
Since there is no prominent player yet in chocolate based energy drink market so initial market
penetration will be easier .The coming future trend of energy drinks to its target customers are also
showing positive signs. Indian youths and working class are accepting the energy drinks.
The sales price of the drink can also be negotiated for bulk orders and thus can be imported at
profitable cost and further competitive price of product may be quoted in market.
The direct rival for “Mozart chocolate energydrinks” in the market will be well established players
like RED BULL and PEPSICO. These products may give stiff competition.
21. 21
Since the landed cost of Mozart chocolate energy drink comes up to Rs46.8/can, so we can price
our product at a good competitive price in markets in Indian metro cities.
In India due to following reasons people are preferring energy drinks-
1. Health consciousness
2. Hectic lifestyle
3. Instant energy requirement during long working hours
4. Increased spending capacity

decide the future of the product.

The points of major concerned will be-:

• Retail and foodservice support growing
• Dominant brand still in place, but many well supported and independent Challengers competing
well
• Future growth in the consumer market includes younger buyers (>14 years)
• Taste is an important consideration for buyers• Health trend entering this segment, fruit juices,
and unsweetened, healthy additives may play significant role in future.

Market scenario
At Rs42.4 billion (US$957 million), India’s hair care market is a far smaller prospect than
the developed markets in the West and comes in behind the other BRIC markets of Brazil, Russia
and China too. But with between a third and a half of the entire world’s hair and a fast-emerging
economy that saw real GDP growth of 8% in 2006, it is little wonder India is drawing the attention
of international hair care giants such as Procter & Gamble.
Local consumers are also attracted to traditional natural and Ayurvedic haircare and this too gives
domestic players an edge in the Indian market. Herbal shampoo brands such as Chik and Nyle
provide strong competition to the big-name international labels, including Sunsilk, Head &
Shoulders and Lux. Seven of the top ten players in India’s hair care market are home-grown and
account for 42% of total value sales. There are only five in the top ten for the cosmetics and
toiletries market as a whole and the share they hold is less than 18% suggesting consumers are less
drawn to the prestige brands of the West in hair care.
The Indian hair care market is forecast to expand by almost 40% between 2006 and 2011
and Euromonitor International expects competition between local and international players to heat
up over this period.
The total Hair Care market reached about $12 billion.
(Market growth increase + 3% from 2005)
Hair Care Category consists of:
Salon Hair Care
Shampoo
Conditioners
Styling Agents
Colorants
2 in 1 product
Perms & Relaxants
The Indian market will continue to grow due to the risin incomes of the ever larger
g
number of middle-class and urban consumers. But despite the high concentration of wealth in
urban areas, the rural market, where three quarters of Indian live, is important. For example, the
rural market for shampoo is three times the size of the urban. Companies report that rural demand
is rising fast. According to the Economist sales of soap by Unilever are growing twice as fast in the
31. 31
countryside as in the cities; Benetton says that 75% of its expansion will be in small towns.
There are huge opportunities for cosmetics companies. The low market penetration of many
personal care products leaves room for growth. Current consumption of many products is well
below that of more developed countries in Asia. For example, only 4% of Indian women use home
hair dyes compared with 42% of their Japanese counterparts.
The oil industry is about Rs 1,800 crore in value, of which value-added oil constitutes 50%.
Import Obligations
The products of hair care and cosmetics can be imported freely under foreign trade
policy of India 2004-2009.
According to Indian customs duty and import duty of “PREPARATIONS FOR USE ON
THE HAIR”, under chapter 33 of customs duty (subsection IV)
HS code 3305; the duty calculation is as follows
Basic duty- 10
Add CVD- 14
Spl.CVD- 4
Excise cess- 3
Customs cess-3
All in %
Objective analysis & findings
The luster hair care products are basically served to the people of African and American
origin and the hair pattern of those are quite different from Indian patterns and hair type in
physiological and natural terms.
The products of luster hair care are good but it’s difficult to find out the segment of its
products in India. The content of luster products is also such that they will suit to African origin
people.
The pricing of the products are at par with Indian market and they can give good
competition to existing products but in India multinational players like HUL, P&G, and L’Oreal,
Marico and Dabur have very stronghold in their respective consumersegments and have strong
market share.
32. 32
The growth of Indian cosmetics and hair care market is slow but steady, 4-6%annum,
(During 2006-2007).
The major growth of hair care products are expected from Rural market and low income
segment, so the target market should be lower income segment of Indian population which
constitute of about +70% consumer market.
Conclusion
The products of “LUSTER HAIR CARE” have good brand recognition in US and
American continent and company has products for all range of consumer and market segment.
The major strength of LUSTER PRODUCTS is “BRAND RECOGNITION” in their
customer segment with quality and exclusiveness to its target market. The competitive pricing in
their market segment and product benefits are the other factors of LUSTER’s products.
The major discouraging statement about “LUSTERPRODUTS” is their focus on
“AFRICAN HAIR” pattern and the products maynot click to Indians as the hair patterns are very
different and also the climate of India.
The hair care market is also somewhat full of competitors and multinational players having
excellent distribution channels and market capture. The trend of hair care industry is also shifting a
bit in herbal segment having players like SHAHNAZ HUSSAIN and HIMALAYA, so it may be a
tough task to enter in Indian market with such a different product.
The deciding factors of market success would be –
A) The market segment and target market
B) The distribution channels
C) The buying pattern
D) Product’s offerings and suitability to consumers.

1973 and basically deals in company from India, 1973 and is
distribution of drugs at national andoperating in 49 countries. Global

Market share No data available. 77% to 84% in vitamins and
minerals segment, with 27%
growth in market globally.
Price Rs.10.16/tablet Rs.5/tablet
Being a multinational and well established and reputed company in pharmaceutical industry,
Ranbaxy has capital as well as market share strength. The distribution channel of Ranbaxy is also
very strong.
37. 37
With 77-84% market share and low price in its market segment, Revital has very strong and
remarkable position.
The brand name and popularity as well as credibility of Ranbaxy in Indian market are very
powerful. Ranbaxy is famous for its high quality and low-cost generic drugs, so competing with
Ranbaxy will be a tough task.
MARKET SCENARIO
Globally ranked fourth by volume and 13th in value, the Indian pharmacy industry is a leading producer
of high-quality, low-cost generic drugs. Its 14% share of the USD 57 billion world generic market is
expected to increase to 50% by 2010.
The overall global market of vitamins is $3.5billion and in India the market is of 62 cr (INR).
The vitamin market is growing at 9%/annum rate in India.
India is gaining in importance as a manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. Between 1996 and 2006, nominal
sales of pharmaceuticals were up9% per annum and thus expanded much faster than the global
pharmaceutical market as a whole (+7% p.a.). Demand in India is growing markedly due to rising
population figures, the increasing number of old people and the development of incomes. As a production
location, the country is benefiting from its wage cost advantages over western competitors also when it
comes to producing medicines.
India’s pharmaceutical industry currently comprises about 20,000 licensed companies employing
approx.500, 000 staff. Besides many very small firms these also include internationally well-known
companies such as Ranbaxy, Cipla or Dr. Reddy’s. With sales of roughly EUR 1 bn, Ranbaxy is currently
the world’s seventh largest generics manufacturer.
38. 38
In 2006, India’s pharma industry exported products worth EUR 3 bn,up from only EUR 650 m in
1996,which was due to the fact that demand for low-cost generic drugs is strongly on the rise, above all in
the US, Europe and Japan.
At 22%, export growth in 2006 was even twice as high as the global average and in Germany (roughly
11% each). Meanwhile, India’s export ratio has reached 32% –about double the figure registered ten years
ago.
For some time now, India has exported more pharmaceutical products than it imports. Over the last ten
years, the export surplus has risen from about EUR 370 m to currently just under EUR 2 bn.
Ranbaxy exports its products to 125 countries, has subsidiaries in nearly 50 countries and production
plants in more than 10 countries. The US has become its most important sales market. Sales to the US
recently amounted to just fewer than 30% of Ranbaxy’s total sales, while sales to Europe came to nearly
20%.Overall, approx. 80% of the manufacturer’s total sales are generated abroad.
Target market segment
The target market segment for multivitamins would be:
1. The working class of high income in cities and metro cities.
2. The working women and mothers in metro cities.
IMPORT OBLIGATIONS:
The pharmaceutical products of multivitamin can be imported freely under foreign trade policy of India
2004-2009.
Under chapter 29 of Indian customs duty general exemptions, section (VI) products of chemicals or allied
industries, import duty is as follows-
Basic duty of customs - 7.5
Additional duty (CVD) - 14
Excise Education cess- 3
Customs education cess- 3
Special additional duty- 4
(All in %)
CONCLUSION:
The company “Health Products Corporation”, New York, USA, is basically deals with the
marketing and distribution of health products all over the world. The company is not a well known
one and the recognition of product is also a problem.
The direct rival is Ranbaxy’s “Revital” multivitamin having market share of more than 80%
globally. The key concern points will be –
-the content of the Zurion is almost same except few advances in Revital.
-The strong hold, establishment and distribution network of Ranbaxy.
39. 39
-Indian pharma market is very price sensitive, so high price of zurion is unfavorable.
-Target market segment is limited and substituting revital is great challenge and costly affair.
-Pharma market growth is somewhat is stagnant (8-9%), at such stage launch of new product as a
substitute of existing product is a great risk.

enzymes are the first nutrients to degrade! Total Enzyme Balance is designed to help with the
digestion and absorption of the nutrients in food.

cream is wonderful for damaged skin or used as a skin protector for sun and wind exposure. Bee

MARKET SCENARIO
43. 43
China is currently by far the largest honey-producing nation in the world,
with around a 40 per cent slice of the market. The next biggest
producers are the US, Argentina and Ukraine.
The key exporters in the world honey market are China supplying 30 to 35 per cent,
Mexico supplying 20 per cent and Argentina supplying 15 to 20 per cent.
The three biggest honey importers are Germany, Japan and the United States.
Germany is the world's largest consumer, importing 90,000 tones of honey products
annually.
The per capita consumption of honey in Germany is 1.5 kg compared to a dismal 3 g in
India.
WORLD HONEY MARKET
INDIAN MARKET SCENARIO
India produces a total of 70,000 tones of honey every year, of which 25,000-27,000 tones
are being exported to more than 42 countries including the EU, the Middle East and the
US.
Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal are the major honey producing
states.
44. 44
The honey exports from India fetched around Rs 200 crore in foreign currency in the fiscal
2002-03.
The sale price of honey by beekeepers in India varies fromRs 25 to Rs 45 per kg
Wherea in countries like the USA, Argentina and Brazil, the price varies from Rs50to Rs
80/ kg.
Price, supply, purity and service are the major determinants in the honey industry.
The honey market in India is currently dominated by the unorgan ized sector, which
contributes 42,000 tones of the tota annual output of 70,000 tones -- worth Rs 1200 crore
l
(Rs 12.5 billion).
ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS
During the data collection and research over the company and company profile, I have found
some objectionable and revealing facts about the company and its past background .The CC Pollen
company, phoenix based in US was under the charge of false claim and misrepresentation of their
products in public as well as in advertisement .
“The CC Pollen Company, a Phoenix-based firm, and its owners have agreed to pay $200,000 to
settle Federal Trade Commission(FTC)charges that they falsely represented that products
containing bee pollen could cause consumers to lose weight, alleviate permanently their allergy
symptoms, and reverse the aging process, among other claims.
The FTC also alleged that some of the claims were made in quot;infomercialsquot; that CC Pollen
misrepresented to be objective news or documentary programs, rather than the paid ads that they
were.(In1992 and revised in 1999).
The FTC also charged CC Pollen's principals, Bruce R. Brown, Carol M. Brown, and Royden
Brown, all of Phoenix (collectively,CC Pollen). All have signed the proposed settlement
agreement.
The FTC also alleged that, in these infomercials as well as the print ads, CC Pollen falsely
represented that consumption of bee-pollen products:
-- cannot result in an allergic reaction;
-- Will alleviate permanently all of the consumer's pollen-allergy symptoms.
-- slows, prevents, or reverses the aging process
;
-- can cure, prevent, or alleviate impotence or sexual dysfunction; and
- Cause weight loss.
In addition, CC Pollen allegedly represented that bee pollen products are an effective antibiotic for
human use. None of these claims are true, the FTC charged.
45. 45
CONCLUSION
The background and credibility of company cc pollen is not at par in their own national (US) as
well as international market and company was already charged with the false claim and
misrepresentation of its products in market by Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
FTC was created in 1914, with the purpose to prevent unfair methods of competition in commerce
and is the only federal agency with both consumer protection and competition jurisdiction in broad
sectors of the economy. The FTC pursues vigorous and effective law enforcement; advances
consumers’ interests by sharing its expertise with federal and state legislatures and U.S. and
international government agencies; develo policy and research tools through hearings,
ps
workshops, and conferences; and creates practical and plain-language educational programs for
consumers and businesses in a global marketplace with constantly changing technologies.
The products of the company are of high price and in India (if imported), as local honey market
and its price is cheap.
The Honey market in India is basically consist of local and regional players and ofunorganized
sector so, import of honey and its derivatives will be a costly affair.
So, from business point of view, in simple words there is no
possibility of any kind of business with CC Pollen Company.
