INTRODUCTION
TO THE INDUSTRY
Consumer durable industry is one of the most lucrative and fast growing industries. The
Indian economy witnesses a proliferation of global companies in the National scene.
Liberalization of Indian economy coupled with the media explosion ushered in a new era of
consumerism. Increased purchasing power and a fluid taste led to the creation of budding
consumer durable market. The growth rates were as high as 22% in the white goods segment
compared to a merely 2-3%growth in the European and American market.
Consumer durable industry scenario in India is a totally different from what it was one-
decade back. Consumer industry scenario in India is totally different from what it is in
European countries. Demand in developed countries is many constituted by replacement
11
demand white goods market in India was dominated by indigenous industrial houses like
Videocon, BPL, Onida, Kelvinator, Goderej and many other, but the entrance of
multinational in Indian market because of opening up of Indian economy gave these
companies a big blow. MNC’s that are gaining the good market share are Samsung, LG,
Daewoo, and Electrolux.
Indian consumer durable industry is growing and at an over all 12-13%. if we consume each
product individually, the color television market has shown a growth rate of 25 % .
Refrigerator market is growing at a rate of 8-10 % .the reason for high growth rate in color
television market is the now a days TV is not used as a source of entertainment but also a
source of knowledge and education. The entire factor, act as accelerator for the economy. If
we take the case of Air conditioners, today air conditioner is not only refer to a cooling
machine but also an air fresher. In portion to growing incidence of working couple,
refrigerator is gaining significance, more and more as an instrument to store and recycled
the readymade victuals. In spite of many value added services that are being offered by most
of brand, the refrigerator market is still biting the dust. Refrigerators market stood at
2.2million in years 2003 and 2.15 in 2005.and is expected than in 2006-2007 refrigerators
market will be 2.25 million units.
Washing machines market is showing the growth rate of 20-25%. Washing machines market
of 1.05million units in the year 2005 and in the year 2006 it is expected to be 1.34 million
units, washing machines market is dominated by the Rs 2600 crores Videocon, Rs 792.42
crores Whirlpool, Rs.2108 crores BPL and the Rs 278.24 crores IFB Electrolux, Samsung,
LG, Daewoo are the new entrant and gaining sales very rapidly specially Electrolux.
Electronics is the fastest growing industry in India, in the liberalized economic scenario,
electronics has entered in every walk to of our life’s and has enchanted the quality of life
that is enjoyed by our consumer India is no longer a country, a market where the consumer
has to realized almost entirely on the influx of smuggled electronics items to satisfied its
need. The Indian electronic industry has through up competitive player who are not only
able to cater to the desires of the Indian consumer successfully, but have also emerged as
very successful exporter of electronic woods to the rest of the world. This has all happened
in the last twenty-year or so. A couple of decade ago, no body in his widest dreamed could
have ever imagines that consumer goods bearing Indian brands, built up assiduously by
Indian companies would come to dominate Indian industry. There could have been two
reasons for so little faith in Indian goods. Firstly, the Indian pubic unhidden groups like
12
BPL, Videocon, and Onida, that Indian brands now dominate the markets. These corporate
houses have upset the apple chart of foreign companies by establishing consumer durable
manufacturing companies than thane not only consistently produces superior products but
have also aerate in a very short span, brand equities capable of taking on international
brands. That is, the Indian consumer perception of bands originating in his own back yard
has evolved from one of shame to one of trust pride, identification, all of which trance late
into patronage /or achievement of a companies core business objective.
The electronic industry is one of the bedrocks of the global industrial development. The
electronic industry was for long the domain of first world economics. The 160’s saw a shift,
which Japan emergence. Subsequently Hong Cong, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore,
then Brazil, India and Mexico follow late but China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and
Thailand had entered the fray.
The output of the global electronics is expected to reach $ 1.3 Trillion by the 2006. The
Indian electronics industry currently accounts for approximatelly 1.1% share of the world
output. More specifically, in the television manufacturing, which accounts for the a major
chunk of all consumer electronics in India we account for the major 2% of the world color
television production and 33% of the black and white television production/ with the market
of the black and white television ordinarily witnessing a negative growth. These pails in
comparison to other Asian countries.
After economic liberalization our country lowered entry barrier and brought global companies into
the countries market place, it was realized that the core of the corporate world must change, to focus
the first time ever in India, on the consumer and to stop chasing revenues, profit and market share,
which will flow only from new consumer competent. Forget to, forever, the silent consumer who,
before of alternatives, uncomplainingly bought whatever products were available .in today’s and
tomorrow new unforgiving market place it is the choice/empowered the consumer who will decide
the fate of the corporation and competition global quality and new economic reality are comprising
to limit the success only companies that are focused completely on their consumer. For only these
companies and continuously monitor and meet changing consumer needs: stream line process” cut
costs and restructure form for quicker response to the consumer demands. All of which will add up
13
to and unmatched competitive edge, enabiling them to conquer tomorrow’s market place today.
However, the consumer and spending wisely not indiscriminately.

The word satisfaction comes from the Latin word “satis” (Enough) and faction (to do or
make). These words suggest the true meaning of Satisfaction, which is fulfillment.

satisfaction, to customer delight.
The Purpose Of the Business:

customer. Theodore Levitt, ha Harward Business professor, who explains by an analogy
with human beings, express similar sentiment / all human have to eat to survive, but eating
is not-their purpose. Further more making money does not provide a legitimate reason for
society and to support the moneymaking enterprise. A society supports businesses as they
survey its member by catering to their needs to leave them satisfy. Dissatisfying enough
customer and not only will these specific customer stop buying from the firm, but the
society at large will condemn the firm and may even panelized it – to the point of its
extinction. In repose to such messages, co part of the corporate mission and utilizes an
understanding of the customer behavior as input to all its marketing plans and decision.

impurities, thereby recharging the air. Negative Ions The Key

aware of the fact & realizing its, importance. The company should try to expand &
build up its infrastructure because there is a large potential for Consumer durables in
