Omni – interiors & exteriors,Omni cargo,& CNG Omni

Threats from chinese
manufacturers.

Threats
CURRENT MARKET SHARE OF DIFFERENT
COMPANIES
Q1- MARUTI IS THE MARKET LEADER IN THE PASSENGER CAR INDUSTRY IN
INDIA. COMMENT ON THE RATIONALE BEHIND INTRODUCING SEVERAL
PRODUCT MODELS AND THEIR VARIANTS AT DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS. HAS
THIS STRATEGY HELPED THE COMPANY TO RETAIN ITS MARKET LEADERSHIP?
EXPLAIN


Rationale behind the strategy of introducing several product
models and their variants at different price points has helped
the company to retain its market leadership to a greatest
extent. Although the market share is decreasing it is still the
market leader and will be for the coming decade at least.



Product life cycle plays a very important role in introducing
several models at different price.



As we can see that M800 was in its growth stage and it went
on a maturity stage during 2004.
CONT. . .


A company whose product are dominating the market will
always think about retaining leadership.



In this case company launch a new product in time and
position it when the existing products are in maturity stage.
So that by the decline stage comes for the existing product,
there will be an all new product ready in the market which
will preserve the company’s image.



The same strategy was taken up in case of M800 and Alto.
CONTD. . .


M800’s sales were highest ever i.e. 20,687 in March 2003
and performed well till mid 2004 when Alto took its position
of highest selling model.



Because faster the sales, faster it will depreciate.



Gradually the product life of M800 was nearing to an end in
2010 era with the customers demanding more and more
features and new design at a considerably low price.



So the company finally discontinued M800 and re-launched
it as Maruti Alto 800 in April 2012.
Q2- MARUTI SUZUKI REDUCED THE PRICES OF ALTO TO REPOSITION IT
AS ENTRY LEVEL CAR APPEALING TO THE URBAN CONSUMERS. DO
YOU THINK THIS PRICING STRATEGY BENEFITED THE COMPANY? WAS
THEIR A NEED A TO REPOSITION ALTO TO CATER TO A1 SEGMENT IN
WHICH MARUTI SUZUKI WAS NOT FACING ANY COMPETITION ?


Yes, this pricing strategy benefited the company. But
according to our findings the company could have waited for
another 2 year to reposition Alto in A1 segment.



The company was not facing any competition, still risk
cannot be taken in a volatile market where a leader can lose
its leadership to its competitor for a wrong decision. The
repositioning was needed but as we told above company
could have waited at least 2 years because the sales were
really showing good numbers.
CONTD. . .


According to our findings if the repositioning would have
come late then M800 would have sold an average of 11,000
units till 2005 and than gradually decline.



But if Alto is taken into picture it was existing in the Indian
market for a long time and if the company had waited for
another 2 years for Alto to be repositioned, consumer would
not have shown interest in Alto as it had already entered into
its maturity stage.



Conclusion for this question would take the company’s
decision as correct from our side.
Q3- IN THE LIGHT OF DECREASING SALES AND CONSUMER
PREFERENCE, WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF M800 IN NEAR FUTURE?
GIVE SUGGESTIONS TO REVIVE THE DECLINING SALES OF MARUTI’S
FLAGSHIP PRODUCT.


The fate will be the same for M800 as it happens for every
product.

1983

1983-2003 2003-2008 2008-2012
SUGGESTIONS TO REVIVE DECLINING SALES OF
MARUTI800.









A whole new positioning strategy keeping the image intact of
the older one.
Indigenization of more than 95%, by doing this the cost will
come dome by another 10,000.
Banking Schemes with more flexible options for payments of
installments.
Reviving the features according to the youths.
Targeting age group of 18-35 by positioning Maruti800 as a
youth product because youth dives the market now a days.

  • 13. CURRENT MARKET SHARE OF DIFFERENT COMPANIES
  • 14. Q1- MARUTI IS THE MARKET LEADER IN THE PASSENGER CAR INDUSTRY IN INDIA. COMMENT ON THE RATIONALE BEHIND INTRODUCING SEVERAL PRODUCT MODELS AND THEIR VARIANTS AT DIFFERENT PRICE POINTS. HAS THIS STRATEGY HELPED THE COMPANY TO RETAIN ITS MARKET LEADERSHIP? EXPLAIN  Rationale behind the strategy of introducing several product models and their variants at different price points has helped the company to retain its market leadership to a greatest extent. Although the market share is decreasing it is still the market leader and will be for the coming decade at least.  Product life cycle plays a very important role in introducing several models at different price.  As we can see that M800 was in its growth stage and it went on a maturity stage during 2004.
  • 15. CONT. . .  A company whose product are dominating the market will always think about retaining leadership.  In this case company launch a new product in time and position it when the existing products are in maturity stage. So that by the decline stage comes for the existing product, there will be an all new product ready in the market which will preserve the company’s image.  The same strategy was taken up in case of M800 and Alto.
  • 16. CONTD. . .  M800’s sales were highest ever i.e. 20,687 in March 2003 and performed well till mid 2004 when Alto took its position of highest selling model.  Because faster the sales, faster it will depreciate.  Gradually the product life of M800 was nearing to an end in 2010 era with the customers demanding more and more features and new design at a considerably low price.  So the company finally discontinued M800 and re-launched it as Maruti Alto 800 in April 2012.
  • 17. Q2- MARUTI SUZUKI REDUCED THE PRICES OF ALTO TO REPOSITION IT AS ENTRY LEVEL CAR APPEALING TO THE URBAN CONSUMERS. DO YOU THINK THIS PRICING STRATEGY BENEFITED THE COMPANY? WAS THEIR A NEED A TO REPOSITION ALTO TO CATER TO A1 SEGMENT IN WHICH MARUTI SUZUKI WAS NOT FACING ANY COMPETITION ?  Yes, this pricing strategy benefited the company. But according to our findings the company could have waited for another 2 year to reposition Alto in A1 segment.  The company was not facing any competition, still risk cannot be taken in a volatile market where a leader can lose its leadership to its competitor for a wrong decision. The repositioning was needed but as we told above company could have waited at least 2 years because the sales were really showing good numbers.
  • 18. CONTD. . .  According to our findings if the repositioning would have come late then M800 would have sold an average of 11,000 units till 2005 and than gradually decline.  But if Alto is taken into picture it was existing in the Indian market for a long time and if the company had waited for another 2 years for Alto to be repositioned, consumer would not have shown interest in Alto as it had already entered into its maturity stage.  Conclusion for this question would take the company’s decision as correct from our side.
  • 19. Q3- IN THE LIGHT OF DECREASING SALES AND CONSUMER PREFERENCE, WHAT WILL BE THE FATE OF M800 IN NEAR FUTURE? GIVE SUGGESTIONS TO REVIVE THE DECLINING SALES OF MARUTI’S FLAGSHIP PRODUCT.  The fate will be the same for M800 as it happens for every product. 1983 1983-2003 2003-2008 2008-2012
  • 20. SUGGESTIONS TO REVIVE DECLINING SALES OF MARUTI800.      A whole new positioning strategy keeping the image intact of the older one. Indigenization of more than 95%, by doing this the cost will come dome by another 10,000. Banking Schemes with more flexible options for payments of installments. Reviving the features according to the youths. Targeting age group of 18-35 by positioning Maruti800 as a youth product because youth dives the market now a days.
