A chilled glass of water, a large mug of beer, a tall glass of refreshing laaemonade, a nice bowl of cold salad and a big helping of a frozen dessert.

Summer dreams are made of these. But ever imagined what would happen to those dreams if

not for a big, vertical, rectangular box called the refrigerator?

SECTORAL ANALYSIS OF REFRIGERATORS

Page 4: Sectoral Refrigerator

History Before the invention of the refrigerator, ice

houses were used to provide cool storage for most of the year.

At the start of the 20th Century ice boxes were used to store the food products.

The first refrigerator to see widespread use was the General Electric "Monitor-Top" refrigerator introduced in 1927 .

Gradually with the development of technology different types of refrigerators are manufactured and today it is one of the most common household .

BACKGROUND 

Refrigerators have been manufactured in India since 1950s. Till the 1980s, players like Godrej, Kelvinator, Allwyn and Voltas controlled almost 90% of the market.

Earlier, the white goods sector was categorized as a luxury goods industry and was subject to oppressive taxation and licensing.The situation changed after the liberalization of the Indian economy in the early 1990s. Post-liberalization, a number of foreign companies entered the market and many domestic players also diversified into refrigerators. BPL and Videocon who already had a presence in the consumer electronics market, leveraged their strengths to enter the durables sector.

          

Page 8: Sectoral Refrigerator

Present ScenarioIn India, refrigerators have the 2nd highest

aspirational value of all consumer durables, with the exception of televisions. This accounts for the high growth rate of the refrigerator market.

Refrigerators are presently being manufactured in two basic designs which are referred to as Direct Cool (DC) and Frost Free (FF) refrigerator.

The direct cool segment continues to dominate Indian refrigerator market compared to more expensive frost-free models. The growth in this segment though marginal, has been driven by factors like availability of low priced models as due to competitive pricing and a growing middle class.

Page 9: Sectoral Refrigerator

OVERVIEW Indian refrigerator market is valued at Rs4000 croreRefrigerators hold only 16% of consumer durable market

that is valued at around Rs. 20,000-25,000 crore in India. Its market is growing at the rate of 7-8% annually.Refrigerators constitute the second largest product

segment within the Indian consumer durables sector in India, with an estimated annual turnover of Rs 39 bn during FY2005 with an estimated sale of 4.1m units.

Projected sales for the year 2007-2008

Page 10: Sectoral Refrigerator

INDIA V/S GLOBALThe penetration of household refrigerators in

India, the fifth largest consumer durable in terms of penetration, is 13% compared to well over :

90% in Malaysia, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Korea;

around 80% in Thailand; close to 40% in Philippines and China and 20% in Vietnam and Indonesia.

When you compare the annual commercial sales of AC and refrigeration equipment in the US at US $ 200 per capita and in China at US $ 3 per capita with a dismal US $ 0.25 per capita in India.

Page 11: Sectoral Refrigerator

SWOTStrengths1. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas2. Presence of well-known brands3. In recent years, organized sector has increased its share in the market vis a vis the unorganized sector.

Weaknesses1. Demand is seasonal and is high during festive seasonal2. Demand is dependent on good monsoons3. Poor government spending on infrastructure4. Low purchasing power of consumers Opportunities

1. In India, the penetration level of white goods is lower as compared to other developing countries.2. Unexploited rural market 3. Rapid urbanization4. Increase in income levels, i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers5. Easy availability of finance

Threats

1. Higher import duties on raw materials imposed in the Budget 2007-082. Cheap imports from Singapore, China and other Asian countries

Page 12: Sectoral Refrigerator

Types of refrigerators :On the basis of technology the refrigerators are

of two types : (a) Direct cool (b) Frost freeDirect cool refrigerators are the low

range/price products and frost free refrigerators are the premium products with advanced features.

Direct cooling ones are mostly single door refrigerators and frost-free refrigerators are mostly double and multiple doors.

Page 13: Sectoral Refrigerator

Also on the basis of capacity the refrigerators are of different types:

Mini (50 to 100 ltrs)- Right for a bachelorSmall (170 to 200 ltrs)- Right for a couple and

a small kitchenMedium(200 to 450 ltrs)- This is for nuclear

household, not too small nor too big.Large (450 to 800 ltrs)- This is for big home

and big budget

Page 29: Sectoral Refrigerator

FROST FREE REFRIGERATORS

Frost forms when water vapor hits the cold coils. The water vapor condenses - turns to liquid water. When the water condenses onto the coils, it immediately freezes and forms frost.

After certain intervals, the timer turns on the heating coil which is wrapped among the freezer coils. The heater melts the ice off the freezer coils. When all of the ice is gone, the temperature sensor senses the temperature rising above 32 degrees Fahrenheit and turns off the heater.

PROMOTION / MARKETING STRATEGYLike the marketing of FMCG products, LG's

marketing was heavily dependent on advertising. Its ad spend to sales ratio at 5-6% of sales was

very close to that of FMCG giant HLL. PROMOTION:The campaign, 'Cricket First,' which featured

captains of the 14 teams participating in World Cup 2003, highlighted the spirit of cricket with a tagline, 'Captains of Cricket World, for the Captain of Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances.' The company announced that it would spend around Rs 400-500 million on advertising during the World Cup.

ADVERTISING:Abhishek Bachchan, the brand ambassador for LG

promotes the LG “INTELLO COOL” range of refrigerators.

Page 35: Sectoral Refrigerator

Threats to the companyDespite the fact that refrigerators have

immense utility to housewives and provide a solution to avoid food wastage, the penetration level is still below 20% and its market is growing at a very small pace. This may be because:

People in small towns and rural areas do not consider it as a necessary product and are unaware of its utility value.

Non-availability of power.

PositioningSamsung positions itself as technology leader and not only as a

volume player and a price warrior. Strategy is value driven, not price driven.

Expecting leadership on the basis of top quality, leading edge technology, priced competitively and backed by strong after sales service,"

Global CEO Yun Yong's vision: "We want to be the Mercedes of home electronics.“

The drivers this time at Samsung -- in fact, the company has put these well above the traditional 4 Ps of marketing -- are design and innovation.

"Good designs and innovative technology will be the most

important differentiator for Samsung from competition "If you are able to deliver the latest technology at an affordable

price, the consumer will not be willing to go back to outdated technology

Page 62: Sectoral Refrigerator

How many customers actually pay attention to differentiation on the basis of technological innovations such as Twin Cooling or Silver Nano (for refrigerators), or even one based on design?

The sales staff at the showrooms are not able to point out the key differentiators.

To tackle this issue, last year, the company started the Samsung Marketing Academy, which conducts regular training programmes to educate the sales forces, shop-owners and company employees on the company's technology and design, how it is different from what competitors are offering, and how to better explain the difference to the consumer.

By equipping the salespeople to sell knowledge-oriented lifestyle products, the company is hoping to provide customers a more informed buying experience, which will translate into higher sales.

Future Scenario

With easy availability of finance, emergence of double-income families, fall in prices due to increased competition, government support, growth of media, availability of disposable incomes, improvements in technology, reduction in customs duty, rise in temperatures, growth in consumer base of rural sector, the consumer durables industry is growing at a fast pace. Given these factors, a good growth is projected in the future, too.

The penetration level of consumer durables is very low in India, as compared with other countries. This translates into vast unrealized potential.
