2) CUSTOMER ANALYSIS F

8/8/2019 Project on Marketing Strategy of Asian Paints
14/52
Asian paint with its natural competitive advantage of siCe !umber - in India0, )trong
brand e?uity @ largest distribution !etwork has ac?uired the number one position in #ecorative
segment in India.
%here are few reasons due two which the customers in the decorative segment has been
choosing Asian aint as their brand E
-. As we know brand name has its own value @ Asian paint is the number one in decorative
segment, so a purchaser automatically leans in purchasing it.
or example, we have two different types of paints, namely Apolite glass Aenamel @
Apolite care 9mulsion, which are from Asian aints, !erolac paints, $erger paints @ I+I
paints. Again due to the competitive market the price is very closed for all the companies.$ut due to the $ranch awareness of common people they mostly tend to purchase the
products from Asian paints.
1. +ompany have provided with different varieties of product for different income groups.
or e.g. J>%)A:K which is a low value paint, is growing at a faster rates @ penetrating
with high speed at the lower income group. %his policy is helping the company to move
from metros to small towns for branded products.
4. In India fre?uency of painting has still not increased, which is once is ; years only. )o
consumers are normally changing over to the better ?uantity @ branded paints.
6. In 133-, Asian aint launched a new product J%ractor 9mulsonK, which pulled the
customer who used distemper to move to emulation paints.
A88+5>55/; 0 A546 456/ /0 /:+ 8-/09+3 &
Asian paints have started a 16 hours customer help centre at *yderabad. It is information to
consumers to answer their needs for any ?uery related, to their products. %hrough this company
is also getting a lot of data related to the customers need @ appreciations of the products.
In order to provide better consumer service, company has connected all colour world
installations with Asian aintBs main system through software @ providing computes to dealers.
%his is speeding up order execution, electronic banking will speed up recovery @ money transfer.

M43?+/ S:43+ A64;5 F
%he market share clearly shows that Asian paint is the leader in Indian paint industry. %he
nearest competitors of Asian paints are !erolac @ $arger paints. Asian paints has the largest sells
in #ecorative paints.
!erolac paints being widely used in Industry it has a greater share price value. Industries
like $ajaj auto limited, (aruti >dyog @ many other car manufacturing companies use !erolac
paints.
%he Industrial paint are priced with premium in comparison to the decorative paint which
is mainly used in house hold decoration.
$erger paints @ I+I paints are also providing a shift competition to Asian aints in
decorative paint, but still there is no sign of threat from them.
Again in the Industrial sector !erolac paint far ahead of all its competitor. Asian paint
presently building up a new manufacturing unit solely to produce Industrial paint.
Asian paints annually spends on an average "s41; +r on its selling @ marketing
expenses. It givers us an idea about the effort the company put on expanding its market in all
segments.
When customers buy the products of Asian paints E As the customers normally uses the
products of Asian paints on certain occasions like. (arriage ceremony, #ewali or any other
special occasions, other than normal paint in houses, customers are very choosy @ brand
specific. %his appreciation by the customers helped Asian paints to become the number one paint
company in India.
". ASSUMPTIONS OF PLANNING &
i. %hough Asian paints is the largest paint company in India but in industrial sector its
performance is not satisfactory. A totally new manufacturing unit is coming up @ will
start production by 133/. %his will definitely through new challenges to !erolac
paints, which is the present leader in Industrial coating market. $ut before that, a
proper introduction of positing very important to sustain in market.

ii. With the advancement of technology the demand @ choice of people changes rapidly.
)o intensive " @ d will need to be continued to continuously enhance the ?uality of
the product.
iii. Internet purchasing is new becoming one of popular way to purchase. )o ade?uate
measure will be taken to satisfy customers regarding designing of website @
providing a brief demonstration.
iv. In International market also Asian aints has become a top paint company. $ut its
strategy regarding the international market must be reviewed at a certain internal so

MARKETING STRATEGY 1
STRATEGY ALTERNATI*ES F
%he prospect of a paint company has many dependence like weather, occasions like puja,
id etc. when we consider the decorative segments. )o there is always a possibility of ups @
downs in the business. $esides this there is another very important factor i.e. the position of the
competitor. %hrough Asian paints is the largest paint company still under circumstances it will
have to go for some strategy alternatives.
Alternatives available F
-. As Asian paints market is mainly the decorative segment so a downfall in that market will
lead the company in trouble them it immediate focus will turn to the Industrial segment.
1. Importance on water based paints may recover a poor situation created due to sustain
poor weather condition in some region.
4. As there is every possibility that conventional coatings are likely to lose some share E
ecofriendly coasting is going to be very good alternatives.
6. With all countries in southeast Asia beginning to adhere to the A)9A! free trade Area
A%A0 that will reduce trade barriers for paints @ coatings. A reduce in domestic market
share of Asian paints then will not be a constant for growth, became export of paints to
the foreign countries will contribute a lot.
;. Increasing the product package @ application oriented service will make company
different from others.

5. 8astly but not the least price of oil is increasing day by day, which results to increase the
price of paints. If this can be controlled by stocking oil or directly linking up with foreign
cheap refineries so as get oil at least available price.
COMPETITOR STRATEGY &
In the Indian paint industry Asian paints is the leader keeping the other
competitors far behind. In terms of gross sales we can rank the competitors of Asian
paints as F
i0 !erolac paints ii0 $erger aints iii0 I+I aints.
In industry they are recogniCed as trailing firms. $ut with their high growth in the
industry the competitors can touch or even overtake Asian paitns, for that the three main
competitors have different strategies. Initially one common strategy must be their mind E
is to increase the market share.
!ow we are considering individual strategies of the three companies.
N+3048 P456/ &
!erolac, despite a strong brand name has grossly underutiliCed its potential in
decorative paints. $ut in industrial paint sector it is far ahead of other competitors. )o, its
two main targets are F 7
i0 to keep hold of the Industrial paint market
ii0 increase the market share in #ecorative paint sector.
All their business strategies mainly rounded this two issues. %he different
strategies they are dealing with F
-0 %hey want to see high growths from decorative segments. In Industrial
sector their supply chasing demand strategy accumulated lot of
inefficiencies, so there is a scoe for cost reduction. )o they want to upgrde

the e?uipments to improve efficiency in manufacturing @ secondly they are
taking advantage of I% to improve over all efficiencies.
10 In decorative segment, they are logging behind the demand. )o now set upis needed as well as they are concentrating on enamels. %hey are installing
colour dispensing machine across the country.
40 +oncentration on emulsions @ distempers, other words interior paints.
#istinguishing the high E low end products.
60 %hey want to concentrate also on the automobile paint industry. *ere they
are already established but Asian paints is also targeting this sector heavily.
;0 Another important strategy they are considering is to involve the vendor in
their organiCational process. or this they want to have proper vendor
management processes.
B+3@+3 P456/ F
$erger paints is considered as the dark horse of paint industry. While companyBs main
strength is in decorative sector, it has been actively pushing its presence in the industrial
paint segment. %o improve its business the company have some strategy F
i0 +ompany is mainly spreaded in 9astern @ )outhern part of the company, now
it is looking for a rapid expansion at the western region also.
ii0 "ecogniCing the saturation of the urban market, $erger is targeting the rural
