Indian consumer is emotionally involved with

Paint. Colours have attractive background all

through history; the relationship of people and

Colours is over 20,000 years of age!

Numerous cave paint artworks are observer of

it. Indian paint industry starts manufacturing

of Indian paint consumers and endeavours

with respect to producers to present enhanced

variants like Eco-Friendly paint, Dust Free and

Water Proof paints, have moved the

development of the paint showcase in India.

Worthy efforts of Indian paint companies,

indicated by Indian Paint Association.

LITERATURE REVIEW

The standard buying behaviour is a process of

identifying the need, information search,

evaluation, purchase and post purchase

behaviour, but the consumer buying behaviour

is little differs, it measures how consumers

select, buy, use and dispose the

product/service/experience. To predict

anything about consumer is like walking on

water, but as the revolutionary actions comes

across the paint industries, it is being little

easy to have the idea about the consumer

buying behaviour.

R. Maruthi Ram, (2011) says that The Indian

paint industry brought progressive changes in

Indian industry as market introduction,

customer concentrate, usage of technologies,

new product range, competition, faster market

reaction, item dependability and even the

budgetary help to consumers. He also points

out that paint companies should meet the end

user in order to know the root problems and

search new findings.

Soumik Gangopadhyay, Pradip

Bandyopadhay, (2013) point out in their

research that there is an important role in the

choice process of customer. Further,

companies must create their product by

focussed on the features of the paints. Hence,

interior designer, dealer can recommend the

domestic paints on the basis of brand features.

Dr Devendra Kumar Pandey, Dr. Ronald

V Mani, (2013) had discussed the important

influencing factors for the growth of the

Indian paint industry such as Industrial

Growth, Heavy Infrastructure Spending, Rise

in Commercial construction, Less Seasonality,

and Rise in Income. They also stated that now

people are accepting more Eco-Friendly paints

like lead free paint, low VOC paint, and

odourless paint.

Prashant Pareek, (2016) point out that

customer is highly motivated with the view

point of the painters and dealers while they are

deciding on the paint brand. He also state that

what are those major influencing factors

during purchase of a paint brand customer

show such as advertisement, sales promotion,

positive word of mouth from relatives and

neighbours. He also believes that marketing

initiative with aggressive advertising would go

a long way and creating a strong brand image.

Rowley, (1997) in his research work had

commented that consumer buying process

offers two useful perspectives: the decision-

making process associated with consumer

buying and the factors which affect the buying

process. The author further stated that the

consumers buying process can be divided into

personal, psychological and social and cultural

factors. Consumer’s small groups, family,

reference group, social roles and status can

also be get affect consumer responses and

influence their buying behavior.

DECORATIVE PAINT INDUSTRY

The paint industry has controlled by Asian

paints (30%) followed by, Kansai Nerolac

(20%), Berger Paints (19%), Akzo Nobel (8%)

and Shalimar Paints (2.5%). To differentiate

one from the other the Indian Paint firms has

employed techniques like implementation of

colour mixing equipment at dealer’s shop,

computerization of the supply chain, ensuring

return on investment for the dealer. Nowadays

India has more than 20,000 outlets in process,

possibly the highest for any country.

Geographical Distribution of this firms are all

major cities of India including, Mumbai,

Ahmadabad, Coimbatore, New Delhi, Surat,

Vadodara. In India 30% accounts for the

industrial paint segment in paint Industry

while the decorative paint segment accounts

for 70 % of paints sold in India. The

decorative paint industry is growing and with

technical support it is rising like a star.

Recently some researchers of Carnegie Mellon

University and Disney Research, USA founds

that they could transform 'dumb' walls into

smart ones at quite low cost - nearly USD 20

per square metre - using simple tools and

techniques, like a paint roller and other simple

tools. So, with this kind of new technologies

the industry is being smart and growing day

by day!

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE

21st century is mother of new technologies and

innovation; it comes across the paint industry

and helps it to grow further. Results are also

positive many companies are successful to

launch new verities of products in paint such

as water proof, dust proof paint and eco-

friendly paint also but as product ranges are

increases the buying behaviour and customer

belief pattern changes and hence the key

objective of research is “To examine the

relationship between purchase intention and

purchase behavior of consumers in respect of

decorative paints”.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

The Indian paint industry has witnessed more

than 115 years in the market; over year passes

the Indian paint industry successfully grab the

attention of many new international players

but the main problem is that there is not many

achievements has been with Indian Decorative

Paint Industry because of changing consumer

buying behaviour, celebrity attraction, and

changing belief pattern of customers.

RESEARCH GAP

This problem of organizations in the Paint

Industry revels that the product performance

and product quality is high priorities in mind

of customers, Preeti Khicha (2008) mention

that the paint is now become a high

involvement product, A sample observation of

the market revels that few factors are

influencing major during buying decision is

making by customer.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

In taking data, larger consideration was paid

on essential information because of the way

this is an exact examination in nature. In this

specific circumstance, questionnaire was made

as a noteworthy technique. In addition, when

and where essential interviews were held and

perceptions were additionally made.

Research will be completed with using mix of

both qualitative and quantitative perspectives,

the survey method will be adopted for this

study. This is because the survey method

would allow one to collect quantitative data

which can be analyzed quantitatively using

descriptive and inferential statistics (Saunders,

et al, 2007). It will also used because it

reduces cost and time connected by census.

Furthermore, auxiliary sources were likewise

related for more data. For choosing the

individual example, straightforward irregular

testing strategy was utilized. It was

advantageous to get the example on similar

premise. For introducing data descriptive

statistics was used.

HYPOTHESIS

With the support of the variables identified

through factor analysis made based on the

literature review the following hypotheses are

formulated.

H0: There is no relationship between brand

image and consumer buying behaviour

H1: There is a relationship between brand

image and consumer buying behaviour.

H2: Product quality makes impact on

consumer buying behaviour.

H3: Product price makes influences on

consumer buying behaviour.

RESEARCH MODEL

From the literature and factor analysis

following variable structure, research model is

constructed.

KMO and Bartlett’s Test (Refer table

no.22)

Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Test is a measure

of how suited your data is for Factor Analysis.

The test measures sampling adequacy for each

variable in the model and for the complete

model. The statistic is a measure of the

proportion of variance among variables that

might be common variance. The lower the

proportion, the more suited data is to Factor

Analysis.

• KMO returns values between 0 and 1.

A rule of thumb for interpreting the

statistic

• KMO values between 0.8 and 1

indicate the sampling is adequate.

• KMO values less than 0.5 indicate the

sampling is not adequate and that

remedial action should be taken.

• KMO Value of 0.706 suggests that

factor analysis can be use for further

analysis

Moreover, Bartlett’s test checks, whether there

is any correlation exists between variable or

not.Bartlett’s test with a significance value of

0.000 indicates that the alternate hypothesis is

accepted which states that there is co-relation

exists among various variables. Further, for

interpretation of new expected factors, 0.5 is

considered as a cut-off value.

This table shows you the actual factors that

were extracted. If we look at the section

labelled “Rotation sums of squared loading” it

shows you only those factors that met cut-off

of criterion (extraction method) so, here in this

case there were nine factors with eigenvalue

greater than one.

The % of “variance” Colum tells you how

much of the total variability can be accounted

for by each of these summery scales or factors

the basic features of data. The Expressive

Correlation analysis is outcome of identifying

the relationship among dependent variable and

one or more independent variables. In this

analysis the dependent variable is what paint

brand will select the customer simple ‘paint

brand selection’ for next time.

One of nine variables, seven variable such as

past experience, dealer suggestions price,

quality, trust, advertisement and discount

offers are more related to the dependent

variable. Let’s know further analysis in detail.

1. Past Experience: This independent variable

is co-related with the dependent variable

purchase decision of last purchased paint

brand. And it affects much during the

customer is making the buying decision.

2. Suggested by Dealers/Painters: Customers

will always listen to the dealers as well as

painters, and their final decision. Hence, it is

correlated with the purchase decision of

consumer.

3. Price: Price is another important factor

while customers purchase the paint. It is

correlated with the purchase decision and the

consumer’s belief pattern.

4. Quality: Many big businessmen say that

never play with quality. Quality is another

most observed factor during the paint purchase

decision and it is correlated with the paint

purchase decision.

5. Trust on Brand Name: The trust on brand

is obviously correlated with the dependent

variable the paint purchase decision.

CONCLUSION/MANAGERIAL

APPLICATIONS

From the analysis of the gathered data it can

be say that the consumer buying behaviour in

highly influenced with the price, brand name

and dealers & painters too. As per the test

analysis, It was proven that there is a

relationship between the price factors and

buying behavior & suggestions of dealers and

painters and consumers belief pattern during

the selection of decorative paints.

• It is understood that consumers worry

about the quality of the paints. And

also recalls the television

advertisements and celebrity

endorsement help to change their

consumer buying behaviour.

• Though it is so, another evident thing

is that other than quality, a greater

place is given to brand image that there

is a positive relationship between the

dealer and the buying behavior.

• More specifically, as per the results the

house owners are concern about price

and quality of paint, mostly recalls the

celebrity they watch on advertisement,

and they almost accept the suggestions

given by dealers, painters and nearby

reference group.

• Accordingly, it can be concluded that

whatever the price and quality of the

paint will be but consumers mostly

consider brand name, celebrity

endorsement, and durability, quality of

paint brand. Hence, paints companies

should focus on this parameters and

factors to perform better in the

Decorative Paint Industry of Gujarat.
