ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
In this project I have made an honest and dedicated attempt to make the research
material as authentic as it could. And I earnestly hope that it provides useful and
workable information and knowledge to any person reading it.
During this small time frame of two months in which the project reached its
completion, there were a few people whom I would like to make a mention of and
without whose help the project would have never seen the light of the day.
I also thank to my internal guide Prof. J.C.Chaturvedi for his timely response
via e-mail, which immensely helped in giving the project the initial direction it needed.
I would like to thank my external guide Santosh Keseri (Marketing Executive)
who gave me a free hand as far as going about the project work was concerned.
I dedicate this project to the Dealers of Indore district who were extremely kind
and who at times went out of the way to help me. Without their co-operation it would
have perhaps not been possible to research a few places, which I did, within the
stipulated time frame.

INTRODUCTION Before the liberalization of the Indian economy, only a few companies like Kelvinator,
Godrej, Alwen, and Voltas were the major players in the consumer durables market,
accounting for no less than 90% of the market. Then, after the liberalization, foreign
players like LG, Sony, Samsung, Whirlpool, Daewoo, and Aiwa came into the
picture.
Today, these players control the major share of the consumer durables market.
Consumer durables market is expected to grow at 10-15% in 2007-2008. It is
growing very fast because of rise in living standards, easy access to consumer
finance, and wide range of choice, as many foreign players were entering in the
market with the increase in income levels, easy availability of finance, increase in
consumer awareness, and introduction of new models, the demand for consumer
durables has increased significantly. Products like washing machines, air
conditioners, microwave ovens, color televisions (C-TV) were no longer considered
luxury items. However, there were still very few players in categories like vacuum
cleaners, and dishwashers Consumer durables sector is characterized by the
emergence of MNCs, exchange offers, discounts, and intense competition. The
market share of MNCs in consumer durables sector is 65%. MNC's major target is
the growing middle class of India. MNCs offer superior technology to the Consumers
whereas the Indian companies compete on the basis of firm grasp of the local
market, their well-acknowledged brands, and hold over wide distribution network.
However, the penetration
Level of the consumer durables is still low in India.
6
Indian Consumer durables market used to be dominated by few domestic players
like Godrej, Voltas, Allwyn and Kelvinator. But post liberalization many foreign
companies have entered
into Indian market dethroning the Indian players and dominating Indian market the
major categories being CTV, REFRIGRATOR, MICROWAVE OVEN and WASHING
MACHINES.
India being the second largest growing economy with huge consumer class has
resulted in consumer durables as the fastest growing industries in India. LG,
SAMSUNG the two Korean companies have been maintaining the lead in the market
with LG being leader in almost all the categories.
The rural market is growing faster than the urban market, although the penetration
level is much lower .The CTV segment is expected to the largest contributing
segment to the overall growth of the industry. The rising income levels double-
income families and consumer awareness were the main growth drivers of the
industries.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The Consumer Durables industry consists of durable goods and appliances for
domestic use such as televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing
machines. Instruments such as cell phones and kitchen appliances like microwave
ovens were also included in this category. The sector has been witnessing significant
growth in recent years, helped by several drivers such as the emerging retail boom,
real estate and housing demand, greater disposable income and an overall increase
in the level of affluence of a significant section of the population. The industry is
represented by major international and local players such as BPL, Videocon, Voltas,
Blue Star, MIRC Electronics, Titan, Whirlpool, etc.
The consumer durables industry can be broadly classified into two segments:
Consumer Electronics and Consumer Appliances. Consumer Appliances can be
further categorized into Brown Goods and White Goods. The key product lines under
each segment were as follows.
8
Industry Size, Growth, Trends
The consumer durables market in India was estimated to be around US$ 5 billion in
2007-08. More than 7 million units of consumer durable appliances have been sold
in the year 2006-07 with colour televisions (CTV) forming the bulk of the sales with
30 per cent share of volumes. CTV, refrigerators and Air-conditioners together
constitute more than 60 per cent of the sales in terms of the number of units sold.
In the refrigerators market, the frost-free category has grown by 8.3 per cent while
direct cool segment has grown by 9 per cent. Companies like LG, Whirlpool and
Samsung have registered double-digit growth in the direct cool refrigerator market.
In the case of washing machines, the semi-automatic category with a higher base
and fully-automatic categories have grown by 4 per cent to 526,000 units and by 8
per cent to 229,000 units, respectively. In the air-conditioners segment, the sales of
window ACs have grown by 32 per cent and that of split ACs by 97 per cent.
Since the penetration in the urban areas for these products is already quite high, the
markets for both C-TV and refrigerators were shifting to the semi-urban and rural
areas. The growth across product categories in different segments is assessed in the
following sections.
9
Consumer Electronics
The CTV production was 15.10 million units in 2007-08 and is expected to grow by at
least 25 per cent. At the disaggregated level, conventional CTV volumes have been
falling while flat TVs have grown strongly. Market sources indicate that most CTV
majors have phased out conventional TVs and have been instead focusing more on
flat TVs. The flat segment of CTVs now account for over60 per cent of the total
domestic TV production and is likely to be around 65 per cent in 2007-08.High-end
products such as liquid crystal display (LCD)and plasma display CTV grew by 400
per cent and 150 per
Cent respectively in 2009–10 following a sharp decline in prices of these products
and this trend is expected to continue. The audio/video player market has seen
significant growth rates in the domestic market as prices have dropped. This trend is
expected to continue through 2009- 2010, as competition is likely to intensify to scale
and capture the mass market.

Research Methodology
Research methodology is considered as the nerve of the project. Without a proper
well-organized research plan, it is impossible to complete the project and reach to
any conclusion. The project was based on the survey plan. The main objective of
survey was to collect appropriate data, which work as a base for drawing conclusion
and getting result.
Therefore, research methodology is the way to systematically solve the research
problem. Research methodology not only talks of the methods but also logic behind
the methods used in the context of a research study and it explains why a particular
method has been used in the preference of the other methods
Research design Research design is important primarily because of the increased complexity in the
market as well as marketing approaches available to the researchers. In fact, it is the
key to the evolution of successful marketing strategies and programmers. It is an
important tool to study buyer‘s behavior, consumption pattern, brand loyalty, and
focus market changes. A research design specifies the methods and procedures for
conducting a particular study. According to Kerlinger, ―Research Design is a plan,
conceptual structure, and strategy of investigation conceived as to obtain answers to
research questions and to control variance.
Research design specifies methods and procedures for study. In this study the
company was interested to know the demand of different consumer durable product,
24
about competitors, and potential for SAMSUNG procedures to be used for the study
among retailers/dealer and. However it was exclusively personal interview.
Data Collection:
This report was prepared after collecting data from the retailers/ dealers and past
data was arranged from the various studies conducted in last few years and
various other records of company.
Primary Data:
These data were collected by personal interview with retailers/ dealer. For this
purpose questionnaires were prepared in such that all necessary data would be
collected.

Scope of the study
This project gives us great exposure to the consumer durable market because it
includes product knowledge and field survey job in which we visited the consumer
durable stores in Indore district.
While visiting the shops we
1. Calculated the display share of the SAMSUNG product in shop.
2. Collected the data of actual monthly sale of the SAMSUNG product in few shop.
3 Found out the problems that the dealer were facing while selling the SAMSUNG product.
4. Found out the customer response for SAMSUNG products by asking the owner of the shop. 5. Checked whether demo calls were attended or not
Scope
1. In term of purchasing power parity (PPP), India is the 4th largest economy in the world and overtake Japan in the near future become the 3rd largest.
2. Indian consumer durable market is expected to reach $450 billion by on 2010
3. India has the youngest population amongst the major countries. There were lot of people in the different income categories nearly the two third population is below the age of 35 and nearly 50% is below 25.
4. There were 56 million people in middle class, who were earning us$4,400-US$21,800 a year. And there were 6 million rich household in India.
27
OPPORTUNITY
1. In India the penetration level of white goods is lower as compared to other developing
countries.
2. Unexploited rural market.
3. Rapid urbanization.
4. Increase in income level, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers.
Threats
1. Higher import duties on row materials.
2. Cheap imports from Singapore, China and from other Asian countries.
LIMITATION OF STUDY
Although I tried my best in preparation of this project, but this study has some
limitation:
1. The period of the project was not sufficient to study all the factors in deep.
2. Visiting various places for the study consumed a lot of time. 3. We cannot say that what the consumer have revealed will be right for each and
every situation because their perception is influenced by many factors.
4. Many consumer and dealers/retailers showed less interest in providing information
and haven‘t cooperated.
28
Theoretical Background of the study
Scope of market research in view of modern global business.
Research methods provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to
solve the problems and meet the challenges of a fast-paced decision-making
environment. Business research courses are recognition that students in business,
not-for-profit, and public organizations – in all functional areas – need training in the
scientific method and its application to decision making. Two factors stimulate an
interest in more scientific decision making: (1) the manager‘s increased need for
more and better information and (2) the availability of improved techniques and tools
to meet this need.
During the last two decades, we have witnessed dramatic changes in the business
environment. Emerging from a historically economic role, the business organization
has evolved in response to the social and political mandates of national public policy,
explosive technology growth, and continuing innovations in global communications.
These changes have created new knowledge needs for the manager. Other
knowledge demands have arisen from problems with mergers, trade policies,
protected markets, technology transfers, and macroeconomic savings – investment
issues.
The trend toward complexity has increased the risks associated with business
decisions, making it more important to have a sound information base. Increased
complexity means there are more variables to consider. The competition is more
vigorous, with many business downsizing to make competitive gains. Workers,
shareholders, customers, and the public are better informed and more sensitive to
29
their self-interest. Government continues to show concern with all aspects of society.
Each of these factors demands that managers have more and better information
upon which to base decisions.
To do well in such an environment, you will need to be equipped with an
understanding of scientific methods and a means of incorporating them into decision
making. You will need to know how to identify good research and how to conduct it.
This book addresses these needs.
As the complexity of the business environment has increased, there has been a
commensurate, increase in the number and power of the tools to conduct research.
There is vastly more knowledge in all fields of management. We have begun to build
better theories. The computer has given us a quantum leap in the ability to deal with
problems. New techniques of quantitative analysis take advantage of this power.
Communication and measurement techniques have also been enhanced. These
trends reinforce each other and are having a massive impact on business
management.
Sources of collection of primary and secondary data for market research.
Ta sources may be classified as either internal (organizational) or external sources of
information.
Internal Sources
Internal sources of organizational data are so varied that it is difficult to provide
generalizations about their use. Accounting and management information systems
create and store much of the internal data. Research and development, planning,
and marketing functions also contribute. Examples are departmental reports,
production summaries, financial and accounting reports, and marketing and sales
30
studies. The collection methods used are unique to the specific situation, and
collection success depends on knowing just where and how to look. Sometimes the
information may exist in central files (i.e., at headquarters), in computer database, or
in departmental chronological files.
In other organizations, a central library keeps all relevant information. Systematic
searches should be made through exploratory interviews with everyone who handles
the information. Often company librarians, MIS. PR/communications, or
departmental secretaries can help in pinpointing critical data sources. Internal data
sources may be the only source of information for many studies.
External Sources
External sources are created outside the organization and are more varied
than internal sources. There are also better defined methods for finding them.
This discussion is restricted to published sources, although other sources of
information may be useful. Published sources of data can be classified into five categories. The newest and
fastest growing one is computerized database. They are composed of interrelated
data files. The files are sets of records grouped together for storage on some
medium. Access may be through online search or CD-ROM. Online databases are
often specialized and focus on information about a particular field. Major source of
published information consists of diverse materials from special collections. Within
this category there are many reference books, each a compendium of a range of
information. A second group includes university publications, of which there are
master‘s theses, doctoral dissertations, and research records. A third group includes
company publications such as financial reports, company policy statements,
speeches by prominent executives, sales literature, product specifications, and many
others. There are miscellaneous information sources consisting of the productions of
various trade, professional and other associations. These organizations often publish
statistical compilation, research report, and proceeding of meeting.
