14. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF FMCG INDUSTRY
• The products often cater to 3 very distinct aspects - necessity, comfort & luxury.
They meet the demands of the entire cross section of population. Price and
income elasticity of demand varies across products and consumers.
• Individual items are of small value (small SKU's) although all FMCG products put
together account for a significant part of the consumer's budget.
• The consumer spends little time on the purchase decision. He seldom ever looks
at the technical specifications. Brand loyalties or recommendations of reliable
retailer/ dealer drive purchase decisions.
• Limited inventory of these products (many of which are perishable) are kept by
consumer and prefers to purchase them frequently, as and when required.
• Brand switching is often induced by heavy advertisement ,recommendation of the
retailer or word of mouth.

16. Political &legal:
• Political stability.
• Tax exemption in sales and excise duty for small scale industries.
• Transportation and infrastructure development in rural areas helps in
distribution network.
• Restrictions in import policies.
• Help for agricultural sector

17. Economical:
• The GDP rate of Indian economy is increasing every year. It is expected in future it
would be more better in comparison with other countries.
• Inflation rate is increasing across the world and India is also no exception. The
government and Reserve Bank of India both are trying to control the inflation rate
with the help of different measures.
• Increase in disposable income has taken place due to higher GDP rate. The per
capital income is increasing so the customers are having more income to spent for
various reasons.
• Indian FMCG sector recorded 16% sales growth in last fiscal year and it is expected
it would further improve in the forthcoming years.
• The FMCG sector is a 4th largest sector of Indian economy with market size of more
than 60,000 crore. The Indian Territory is very large and number of customers is
also very high.

18. Social:
• Demographical analysis.
• The Indian culture, social & life styles are changing drastically.
• The total population is nearly 115 crores and population includes rich, poor,
middle class, male, female, located in rural, urban and sub urban areas.
• Increase level of education etc.
• Increase awareness among rural market .

19. Technology:
• Technology has been simplified and available in the industry. Where
technology is not available then it is brought from foreign countries to meet
FMCG sector requirements.
• Foreign players help in high technological development. With research and
development facilities the new technologies are developed alone or with the
help of foreign players.

20. SWOT ANALYSIS OF FMCG SECTOR

21. Strengths-
• Low operational costs.
• Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas.
• Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector.
• Favourable governmental Policy:
Indian Government has passed the policies aimed at attaining international
competitiveness through lifting of the quantitative restrictions, reducing excise
duties, 100 per cent export oriented units can be set up by government approval
and use of foreign brand names etc.
• Foreign Direct Investment (FDI):
Automatic investment approval up to 100 per cent foreign equity or 100 per cent
for NRI and Overseas Corporate Bodies investment is allowed for most of the food
processing sector except malted food, alcoholic beverages and those reserved for
small scale industries (SSI).

22. Opportunities-
• Untapped rural market, changing life style.
• Rising income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers.
• Large domestic market with more population of median age 25.
• High consumer goods spending.
• India is the largest milk producer in the world, yet only around 15 per cent of the
milk is processed. The organized liquid milk business is in its infancy and also has
large long-term growth potential. Even investment opportunities exist in value-
added products like desserts, puddings etc.
• Only about 10-12 per cent of output is processed and consumed in packaged form,
thus highlighting the huge potential.
• India is under penetrated in many FMCG categories as shown in below diagram.
With rise in per capita incomes and awareness, the growth potential is huge.
• Lower price and smaller packs are also likely to drive potential up trading for major
FMCG products

23. Weakness-
• Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of scale,
especially in small sectors
• Low exports levels
• "Me-tooʺproducts, which illegally mimic the labels of the established brands.
These products narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural and semi-urban
market.
Threats-
• Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic brands
• Tax and regulatory structure
• Rural demand is cyclical in nature and also depends upon monsoon.

24. PROBLEM OF COUNTERFEITING AND PIRACY IN INDIA
• According to a study conducted by a leading research agency AC Nielson, FMCG
industry which ends up loses approximately 15% of its revenue around Rs 2,500
crore and Rs 900 crore for the government annually due to counterfeits and pass-
off products. The fake products are affecting the sales of leading brands by almost
20-30 per cent.
• study also suggest 10 per cent reduction in the piracy rate has the potential to
create 50,000 additional jobs in India, According to FICCI, there are several laws in
India to deal with the issue but the problem arises when these laws are not
implemented properly.
• India continues to remain on the priority watch list of the US Trade
Representative, meaning that India is perceived as not providing adequate
intellectual property rights protection or enforcement of laws protecting IPR.
• The FICCI has recently taken up a joint publicity campaign with the Ministry of
Consumer Affairs under the ‘Jago Grahak Jago’ and ‘Bhagidari’ with the Delhi Govt.
• To popularise the issue among the students – 5th Hum Kishore Festival with the
theme “Fight Smuggling and Counterfeiting” was organised in more than 100
schools of Delhi and the National Capital Region.
• FICCI CASCADE is also organising an Industry-Government seminar on June 8,
which is being observed as the ‘Anti-Counterfeiting Day’.
