ABSTRACT

The Indian market for entertainment devices like television has been expanding in the last two decades. Several players are introducing not only several features to the existing products but also new products like LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) TV and Plasma TV to capture various segments of the market. Consumers now have a wide choice for the selection of televisions. The present study is an empirical research done on factors influencing the behaviour of the customers towards LCD Televisions of a selected city. A random sample was selected from the selected areas and a questionnaire was prepared for the research process & to analyze the data. The main findings reveal that physical features, operational features, promotional features and word of mouth are the main factors which tend to influence the buying decision in a positive manner-to increase the sales of the product, whereas the price and brand name have a negative influence on the behaviour.

2. BODY OF THE THESIS

2.1 INTRODUCTION

2.1.1 Liquid-Crystal Display Televisions

Liquid-crystal display televisions (LCD TV) are television sets that use LCD technology to produce images. LCD televisions are thinner and lighter than Cathode Ray Televisions (CRTs) of similar display size, and are available in much larger sizes as well. This combination of features made LCDs more practical than CRTs for many roles, and as manufacturing costs fell their eventual dominance of the television market was all but guaranteed.

In 2008, LCD televisions surpassed sales of CRT-based televisions worldwide for the first time, and its sales figures relative to other technologies are accelerating. LCD TVs are quickly displacing the only major competitors in the large-screen market, the plasma display panel and rear-projection television. LCDs are, by far, the most widely produced and sold television technology today, pushing all other technologies into niche roles.

2.1.2 Liquid Crystal Display

A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. Its uses include monitors for computers, televisions, instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. Among its major features are its lightweight construction, its portability, and its ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than are practical for the construction of cathode ray tube (CRT) display technology. Its low electrical power consumption enables it to be used in battery-powered electronic equipment. It is an electronically-modulated optical device made up of any number of pixels filled with liquid crystals and arrayed in front of a light source (backlight) or reflector to produce images in colour or monochrome. The earliest discovery leading to the development of LCD technology, the discovery of liquid crystals, dates from 1888. By 2008, worldwide sales of televisions with LCD screens had surpassed the sale of CRT units.

2.4 INDIAN CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR

In today’s competitive scenario, business organizations in India are most worried about the future uncertainty. An increasing number of market planners are finding that growing complexity and uncertainty of the environment are difficult to cope up. Behavioural dimension added new complexity to marketing people. Still, there is no other alternative but to face this situation. Organizations are continuously facing new equations in their operating environment in every direction (Bettis & Hitt, 1995). Complex competitive status, vulnerable demand forecast, varying consumer preference, existence of too many brands, changing attitude of channel intermediaries, shortening of the product lifecycle, (Hammer, 1997) are making marketing decisions extremely difficult and risky. And here comes the role of multidimensional analysis of a particular field.

In television market, situation is no way better. Television, as a product, is getting the status of essential commodity inviting complicacies and uncertainties. TV market has also one unique problem. It is on a developing phase. A shift from rural to urban sector is continuously going on. Residential areas in metros, mini metros, cities, towns and small towns are growing at faster rate. Industrialization, infrastructure development, and extension of areas under amusement and entertainment are creating huge scope for further market growth. Social developments of community and upcoming upper middle class with increasing purchasing power have marked this field as an area of additional complicacies and uncertainties. In view of the growing importance and market (Porter, 1980) it is proposed to carry out a study covering factors affecting the consumer buying behaviour for television.

CTVs are mainly two types, namely Flat-panel TVs and Front Projection TVs. On the basis of display mode, they are classified into LCD, Plasma, DLP, and SXRD or LCOS. The 14", 20" and 21" televisions are the most widely used which accounts for about 90% of the market in India. Flat screen television is the fastest growing segment. Keeping this in view we have restricted our study to these Flat-panel TVs only as Front-projection TVs are not televisions in the most obvious sense.

The vital features that are considered by a consumer before buying a Flat-panel TV set includes: sound quality, DVD connection, remote control facility, discount availability, durability, built in stabilizer, foreign collaboration, proximity of dealers, price, picture quality etc. When more than a dozen brands are aggressively pushing for a larger chunk of the market claiming that they go well beyond picture quality and sound clarity; going for the right model is all the more tough.

There are several units in the market that can be analyzed. Our main thrust in this study is the consumer and their perception towards choosing LCD Television. Keeping all these aspects in view, we have analyzed the attitude of the consumers on the basis of the attributes, preferable brand, sound quality, durability, recommendations, price, advertisement etc.

ANALYSIS

More number of people is having LCD TV because of its features like picture quality, sound quality, less space consuming. Price is also one of the important factors which attract consumers to purchase LCD TV. As there is a neck to neck competition between various brands of LCD and CRT TV prices are also competitive. This is an advantage for people they can go for the option of LCD TV with their desired features even though with low budget. LCD is also preferred by the people for its feature of less space consuming. As the area of home is decreasing people have more tendencies to purchase equipment that can be adjusted with small space. 

Also large 24% of people have CRT TV. CRT TV has also its own features that, those who want home theatre system for them LCD TV can not serve their purpose. The Woofer & Dolby sound quality are the unique features of CRT TV so CRT TV is also preferred by consumer. 

There are 48 % of consumers who are having more than 1 TV at their home. They have both CRT and LCD TV. Due to variety of channels availability there are conflicts in the family for watching selective programme at a selected time. This is the major reason that we found in our survey that why people have more than 1 TV at home. Another common reason is the privacy of an individual in a family. 

In our survey we have found 5% of the people do not have TV at their home. When we inquired for the reason, the major findings came out is that they do not want to purchase TV only because they feel their children’s study might be affected because of it.

ANALYSIS

32” is the most popular size of LCD TV of any company. People are more comfortable with this size of TV for domestic purpose. Next comes in the popular choice is 26”. As per the total area available in the house these two sizes of TV are more popular. There are very few people who have 46” and 52” inches TV. Here the root cause for this is the size of home only. Budget is not constraint for them. Some people have large screen TV for commercial purpose, e.g. hospitals or clinic or institutes.

Page 19: Lcd Report

ANALYSIS

Brand name attached with LCD TV is the most important feature on which consumer behaviour largely depends. Price and model diversity is second in a queue. People are more brands conscious as it is a long term asset and they are not ready to change it frequently. They are ready to pay higher price but, they want durability feature. Advertisement is also contributing in the purchase behaviour of the LCD TVs. Brand ambassador also play major role in this. During our survey we also found some brand loyal consumers who always purchase the same brand electronic items.

6. CONCLUSION

We have done survey for consumer behaviour on LCD TV in Ahmedabad taking a sample size of 160 people. From the survey we could find that there are many features which influence an individual to buy and not to buy certain type of TV.

There is also difference of opinion between various age group of people and also number of respondents those who has actually taken interest in giving their feed back. Between the age group of 26-35 maximum people have responded.

We have also found that many people are brand conscious. We met one family who is brand conscious for electronic equipment. All the electronic appliances that are available with that family is of Sony brand only. In our survey we also found that 27% of the people like LCD TVs of Sony brand only.

There is also specific choice for size and feature of the LCD TV. People are more comfortable with 32” (35%) and their priority for the features of LCD TV is picture quality (35%).

Advertisement has also impact on the brand recall and purchasing behaviour of the consumer. Samsung and LG are the two brands whose advertisement is most popular in consumer. Brand ambassadors are playing key role in the sales promotion through advertisements.   

There are also some specific features came into the sight. There is a huge market of LCD TV as per latest trend. It is also a status symbol for the consumer. But, still CRT TV is also having space in the drawing room of many homes. People may have more than one TV at their homes which includes both LCD TVs as well as CRT TVs. LCD TV has unique features but still people have the tendency to retain their old CRT TVs. During the conversation with the respondents regarding the reason for possessing have both types of TVs, different perception of the people came into light. 2% of them said LCD TV can not support Dolby sound system or home theatre system. Around 25% of the people responded like there is an emotional attachment with that CRT TVs as it is a vintage for them. Around 50% of the people want to keep it with them as they are not getting an expected resale value.

LCD TVs has catered huge market because of its unique feature like picture quality, sound quality less space consuming, and of course price. As price of LCD TV and CRT TV are almost similar, people are now moving towards purchase of LCD TVs. LCD TVs has also become a status symbol for the people, which also influence the people to buy LCD TV.

People seem to be happy with present features available in the LCD TV as they have suggested no new feature recommendations.

Page 23: Lcd Report

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

Different requirements to address urban and semi urban population.

Products need to address Indian working environment.

Innovations in advertising and promotions.

Advertisements should focus more on factors like picture quality & sound quality.

The distribution channel should be even stronger, even in rural areas.

Growing urbanization, & increase in the number of nuclear families are creating a huge wave of opportunities for the LCD TV market. This trend is also very much prevalent inAhmedabad, thus marketers should emphasize on the major factors affecting consumers purchase decision, so that they can create a visibility & positive image in the mind of the customer

Page 24: Lcd Report

8. LIMITATIONS

The study is expected to give meaningful insights but can still suffer from some basic limitations as mentioned below:

1. Time Constraint As the time given to complete the project is lesser than actual time required completing similar studies, the quality of findings may get affected.

2. Sample Size & Nature The sample size estimated is 160, thus the findings from the same may not be representative of the actual population.

We have selected Western & Eastern Ahmedabad as our survey area and therefore the report is based on behaviour people living in Western & Eastern part of Ahmedabad.

3. Classifying Income Segments Getting required number of respondents belonging to each income segment may be tough. As unless somebody is filling up the questionnaires, it’s not possible to accurately guess the income class the respondent is belonging to.

4. Respondent’s Bias Some respondents may not state their actual income,& thus under/overstatement of the same is possible. Moreover some respondents might also not state their actual reasons while making purchase decisions (e.g. Price), due to their ego states.

All the above limitations can affect the actual collected data, but care has been taken to minimize such discrepancies.

Above all the limitations this study is expected to be useful with minimum possible errors & discrepancies.
