The market for insecticides and repellents has grown by 20 per cent in
2003-04 and is estimated to grow at about 20%. The rural market for
mosquito repellents is reckoned at around Rs 173 million against a
mere Rs 79 million in urban centers. The market leader of the industry
is Godrej Sara Lee Ltd. with brands like Good Knight, Jet and Hit
enjoying a market share of 40%
THE EVOLUTION:
In the latter half of the 1990s, the market became much more
competitive, with the entry of GSLL, Reckitt Benckiser and HLL. GSLL
launched an array of brands (all coils) like Jet Fighter (1997),
GoodKnight Jumbo (1999) and GoodKnight Instant one after the other
The company's other brands included Banish (mats), Hit (aerosols), Hit
Lines (chalks), Mosfree (lotion) and Hexit (spray).while Reckitt also
launched its range of mats and coils. These new entrants resorted to
heavy advertising and aggressive sales promotion tactics. Recently
two new categories of personal sprays and gels have emerged.
MAJOR PLAYERS
The name All Out is almost a generic name for Liquid Vaporizers
(vaporizers), a segment of Rs.22O crores in the mosquito repellant
industry in India. All out is the market leader in this segment with a 70
percent market share in 2001. KAPL was almost solely responsible for
creating this segment. Within a decade of its launch, All Out had
converted a large number of customers into vaporizer users.
In 1998, KAPL came out with a Rs 99 pack consisting of the Pluggy and
a refill. The deal, called the 'deadly offer' was backed by heavy
advertising. . After KAPL's 'deadly exchange scheme,' GoodKnight's
share decreased by 9.3% in volume terms between September 1999
and February 2000.
Godrej Sara Lee Ltd. is a 450 crore turnover company with brands
like Good Knight, Jet and Hit. It is the market leader in the mats
segment with a share of 68% in May 2000. Good Knight has
become the most preferred mosquito repellent solution in the
country. The Good Knight brand was launched by Transelektra
Domestic Products Ltd (TDPL) in 1984. The product was innovative
and perfectly priced. Good Knight worked on a long term strategy
that would capitalize on its long-established equity.
In the mid 1990s, Good Knight faced growing competition from new
coil and vaporizer products. To counter this thrust, Good Knight re-
launched its mat first as Super mat and finally as Good Knight Silver
mat in 2003, with contemporary packing, superior technology and
using a high decibel campaign. Today Good Knight Silver mat is a
market leader with 62% market share.
By 1999, Good Knight also joined the battle for the coils by
launching its red coil variant. Since Good Knight was seen to be a
hi-tech brand and coils were regarded as an entry-level product, the
company made sure that it did not suffer a downgrade in consumer
perception. It branded its version as a value-added product, which
lasted ten hours (compared to eight hours in the case of most
others). The color red was meant to convey power. . The red coil
category created by Good Knight is growing and has cornered 50%
of the coil market.
The most important USP for Good Knight is its brand equity, built
over a decade by its products and brand communication.

2) Safer And Convenient: Vaporizers are safer than coils since they
just have to be switched on. They are far more convenient as well.
Many people complain of breathing problems with coils which is
eliminated through vaporizers.
1) Threat of competitors
The threat of competitors is high because there are a lot of players in
the market and two new segments that is personal sprays and gels
have come in which will increase the existing competition. Also
existing players are entering new segments which increase the
competition like Casper entering the vaporizer segment and Good
Knight the personal spray and gel segment.
