29. Impact of campaign
• TATA Salt is able to carry off the non-verbalized claim of 'DESH KA NAMAK'
by virtue of being the market leader in the 5.2-million-tonnes per annum Indian
salt market, with a 17 %market share.
• And if one were to take the branded salt market alone (1.5 mn tonnes/annum),
Tata Salt has an even more respectable 37 %market share,.
• There are some 115 national and local brands currently jostling in the Indian
market, a function of the extremely low barrier-to-entry this industry offers.
• The overall salt market in India has been stagnating for some time now and
growth has been a mere 1 %.
• The branded salt category has been growing at a healthier pace @ 4%, which
means that consumers are migrating from the non-branded category.
