INTRODUCTION TO INDUSTRY
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), also known as Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), are products that have a quick turnover and relatively low cost. Consumers generally put less thought into the purchase of FMCG than they do for other products. Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they generally sell in large numbers and so the cumulative profit on such products can be large.
FMCG Products and Categories
Personal Care, Oral Care, Hair Care, Skin Care, Personal Wash (soaps); Cosmetics and toiletries, deodorants, perfumes, feminine hygiene, paper products; Household care fabric wash including laundry soaps and synthetic detergents; household cleaners, such as dish/utensil cleaners, floor cleaners, toilet cleaners, air fresheners, insecticides and mosquito repellents, metal polish and furniture polish. Food and health beverages, branded flour, branded sugarcane, bakery products such as bread, biscuits, etc., milk and dairy products, beverages such as tea, coffee, juices, bottled water etc, snack food, chocolates, etc. Frequently replaced electronic products, such as audio equipments, digital cameras, Laptops, CTVs; other electronic items such as Refrigerator, washing machines, etc. coming under the category of White Goods in FMCG;
Sector Outlook FMCG is the fourth largest sector in the Indian Economy with a total market size of Rs. 60,000 crores. FMCG sector generates 5% of total factory employment in the country and is creating employment for three million people, especially in small towns and rural India.
Analysis of FMCG Sector
Strengths: 1. Low operational costs 2. Presence of established distribution networks in both urban and rural areas 3. Presence of well-known brands in FMCG sector Weaknesses: 1. Lower scope of investing in technology and achieving economies of scale, especially in small sectors 2. Low exports levels 3. Me-too products, which illegally mimic the labels of the established brands. These products narrow the scope of FMCG products in rural and semi-urban market. Opportunities: 1. Untapped rural market 2. Rising income levels i.e. increase in purchasing power of consumers 3. Large domestic market 4. Export potential 5. High consumer goods spending Threats: 1. Removal of import restrictions resulting in replacing of domestic brands 2. Slowdown in rural demand 3. Tax and regulatory structure
Future Scenario The Indian FMCG sector with a market size of US$13.1 billion is the fourth largest sector in the economy. A well-established distribution network, intense competition between the organized and unorganized
segments characterizes the sector. FMCG Sector is expected to grow by over 60% by 2010. That will translate into an annual growth of 10% over a 5-year period. It has been estimated that FMCG sector will rise from around Rs 56,500 crores in 2005 to Rs 92,100 crores in 2010. Hair care, household care, male grooming, female hygiene, and the chocolates and confectionery categories are estimated to be the fastest growing segments.
Growth Prospect With the presence of 16.5% of the world population in the villages of India, the Indian rural FMCG market is something no one can overlook. Increased focus on farm sector will boost rural incomes, hence providing better growth prospects to the FMCG companies. Better infrastructure facilities will improve their supply chain. FMCG sector is also likely to benefit from growing demand in the market.
Because of the low per capita consumption for almost all the products in the country, FMCG companies have immense possibilities for growth. And if the companies are able to change the mindset of the consumers, i.e. if they are able to take the consumers to branded products and offer new generation products, they would be able to generate higher growth in the near future. It is expected that the rural income will rise in 2007, boosting purchasing power in the countryside. However, the demand in urban areas would be the key growth driver over the long term. Also, increase in the urban population, along with increase in income levels and the availability of new categories, would help the urban areas maintain their position in terms of consumption. At present, urban India accounts for 66% of total FMCG consumption, with rural India accounting for the remaining 34%. However, rural India accounts for more than 40% consumption in major FMCG categories such as personal care, fabric care, and hot beverages. In urban areas, home and personal care category, including skin care, household care
and feminine hygiene, will keep growing at relatively attractive rates. Within the foods segment, it is estimated that processed foods, bakery, and dairy are long-term growth categories in both rural and urban areas.
THE TOP 10 COMPANIES IN FMCG SECTOR

1. Hindustan Unilever Ltd. 2. ITC (Indian Tobacco Company) 3. Nestle India 4. GCMMF ( AMUL) 5. Dabur India 6. Asian Paints (India) 7. Cadbury Industries 8. Britania Industries 9. Procter and Gamble Hygiene and Healthcare 10. Marico Industries
Budget Implications on FMCG Sector

The Budget gives more focus on the agricultural/farm sector that will boost the rural income thus providing better growth prospects to the FMCG companies. With 12.2% of the world population living in the villages of India, the Indian rural FMCG market is something no one can overlook. Better infrastructure facilities will improve their supply chain. Also, with rising income and growing consumerism, FMCG sectors are likely to benefit. Growth potential for
all the FMCG companies is huge as the per capita consumption of almost all products in the country is amongst the lowest in the world. Further, if these companies can change consumer's mindset and offer new generation products, they would be able to generate higher growth in the future

Past Milestones
In the summer of 1888, visitors to the Kolkata harbor noticed crates full of Sunlight soap bars, embossed with the words "Made in England by Lever Brothers". With it began an era of marketing branded Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG).
Soon after followed Lifebuoy in 1895; other famous brands like Pears, Lux and Vim. Vanaspati were launched in 1918 and the famous Dalda brand came to the market in 1937. In 1931, Unilever set up its first Indian subsidiary, Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Company, followed by Lever Brothers India Limited (1933) and United Traders Limited (1935). These three companies merged to form HUL in November 1956; HUL offered 10% of its equity to the Indian public, being the first among the foreign subsidiaries to do so. Unilever now holds 51.55% equity in the company. The rest of the shareholding is distributed among about 380,000 individual shareholders and financial institutions.
The erstwhile Brooke Bond's presence in India dates back to 1900. By 1903, the company had launched Red Label tea in the country. In 1912, Brooke Bond & Co. India Limited was formed. Brooke Bond joined the Unilever fold in 1984 through an international acquisition. The erstwhile
Lipton's links with India were forged in 1898. Unilever acquired Lipton in 1972 and in 1977 Lipton Tea (India) Limited was incorporated.
Pond's (India) Limited had been present in India since 1947. It joined the Unilever fold through an international acquisition of Chesebrough Pond's USA in 1986.Since the very early years, HUL has vigorously responded to the
stimulus of economic growth. The growth process has been accompanied by judicious diversification, always in line with Indian opinions and aspirations.
The liberalization of the Indian economy, started in 1991, clearly marked an inflexion in HUL's and the Group's growth curve. Removal of the regulatory framework allowed the company to explore every single product and opportunity segment, without any constraints on production capacity.
Simultaneously, deregulation permitted alliances, acquisitions and mergers. In one of the most visible and talked about events of India's corporate history, the erstwhile Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO) merged with HUL, effective from April 1, 1993. In 1995, HUL and yet another Tata company, Lakme Limited, formed a 50:50 joint venture, Lakme Lever Limited, to market Lakme's market-leading cosmetics and other appropriate products of both the companies. Subsequently in
1998, Lakme Limited sold its brands to HUL and divested its 50% stake in the joint venture to the company.
HUL formed a 50:50 partnership joint venture with the US-based Kimberly Clark Corporation in 1994. Kimberly-Clark Lever Ltd, which markets Huggies Diapers and Kotex Sanitary Pads. HUL has also set up a subsidiary in Nepal, Nepal Lever Limited (NLL), and its factory represents the largest manufacturing investment in the Himalayan kingdom. The NLL factory manufactures HUL's products like Soaps, Detergents and Personal Products both for the domestic market and exports to India.
The 1990s also witnessed a string of crucial mergers, acquisitions and alliances on the Foods and Beverages front. In 1992, the erstwhile Brooke Bond acquired Kothari General Foods, with significant interests in Instant Coffee. In 1993, it acquired the Kissan business from the UB Group and the Dollops Ice-cream business from Cadbury India.
As a measure of backward integration, Tea Estates and Doom Dooma, two plantation companies of Unilever, were merged with Brooke Bond. Then in July 1993, Brooke Bond India and Lipton India merged to form Brooke Bond Lipton India Limited (BBLIL), enabling greater focus and ensuring synergy in the traditional Beverages business. 1994 witnessed BBLIL launching the Wall's range of Frozen Desserts. By the end of the year, the company entered into a strategic alliance with the Kwality Ice-cream Group families and in 1995 the Milk food 100% Ice-cream marketing and distribution rights too were acquired.
Finally, BBLIL merged with HUL, with effect from January 1, 1996. The internal restructuring culminated in the merger of Pond's (India) Limited (PIL) with HUL in 1998. The two companies had significant overlaps in Personal Products, Specialty Chemicals and Exports businesses, besides a common distribution system since 1993 for Personal Products. The two also had a common management pool and a technology base. The amalgamation was done to ensure for the Group, benefits from scale economies both in domestic and export markets and enable it to fund investments required for aggressively building new categories.
In January 2000, in a historic step, the government decided to award 74 per cent equity in Modern Foods to HUL, thereby beginning the divestment of government equity in public sector undertakings (PSU) to private sector partners. HUL's entry into Bread is a strategic extension of the company's wheat business. In 2002, HUL acquired the government's remaining stake in Moder Foods. In 2003, HUL acquired the Cooked Shrimp and Pasteurized Crabmeat business of the Amalgam Group of Companies, a leader in value added Marine Products exports.
Hindustan unilever sets 50,000 crore sales target by 2015

Hindustan unilever has annual turnover of around Rs. 21,736 crores (financial year 2011 2012). HUL is a subsidiary of Unilever, one of the worlds leading suppliers of fast moving consumer goods with strong local roots in more than 100 countries across the globe with annual sales of about 46.5 billion in 2011. Unilever has about 52% shareholding in HUL This will be done through organic route and an aggressive marketing strategy. For starters, it has decided to expand production capacity of its unilever food solution, which is sold under the knorr brand. .Hindustan Unilever has set a target to more than double its turnover in just four years to 50,000 crore in a plan that industry experts find far too ambitious. The country's largest consumer goods company, which took more than 75 years to almost touch the 20,000-crore sales mark, has drawn up a plan called '50 by 15' to increase its annual sales to 50,000 crore by 2015, a senior company official said on condition of anonymity

OUT OF HOME BUSINESS

Have you caught the tail of a new trend in town? Have you as yet spotted the best of brands running into the terrain of out-of-home consumption? Running for cover from the meltdown in the in-home segment of consumption!
Out-of-home branding is the new buzzword sweeping Indian shores. Brands that stubbornly remain indoors through their positioning and segmentation strategies are in for a jolt! Consider the facts. The Indian population is a young population. Life expectation is longer than before. Income standards are up. Except for a year of aberration, the Indian monsoon has largely behaved! Good monsoons mean a good crop. Large parts of the rural economy are a non tax-paying economy. Good rains spell good crops and good crops in turn spell a good amount of disposable income!
The metro is a happening place. We have five big ones and a whole host of 29 one million plus population towns that are buzzing with activity. The man works. The woman works as well.
The average Indian is spending a lot more time out of home than before. Eight hours at work, two hours on travel and two hours of outdoor entertainment and eating out, gobbles up half his day. And that's a lot of time spent out of home! The brand in his life has to appeal to his senses more out-of-home than when in home.
Tea, coffee and food products always have been very popular among people. It is beyond the class boundaries. People of all age groups relish them. With globalization and expansion of retail business, institutional markets etc the ready to serve food items and beverages have gained lot of demand. One can spot the coffee tea vending machines almost everywhere- be it Hospitals, Airports, Commercial complexes, offices, big markets and even local colony markets and UFS product is also use in canteen of hospital, canteen of airports ,hotels, catering,backerys,fast food restaurant and even used in home . Its popularity can be judged from the fact that in places like 56 soaps one can find ready to serve tea, coffee almost everywhere. It has become a style statement to be drinking these instead of the handmade tea/coffee. Food products help to consumers save precious preparation time in the kitchen without compromising on flavour or flair , so they can serve tasty and wholesome meals that keep their guest coming back for more. Its popularity also can be judge from the big hotels, caterings etc like fortune landmark, shaya ji.
They sell like hot cakes especially in markets and shopping places. Nowadays people are conscious about hygiene. Many people go in for these ready to serve tea/coffee and of course their good taste is a major drawing factor.
Lipton Yellow and UFS products have painted many a town and cities! Many a restaurant, big hotels, catering, backers, many a bus stop, and many a signage potential is today all yellow Lipton and UFS products seems to run out of home and focus on consumption that is outdoor while competitors seems to focus on what is happening inside the home!
Happy people are productive people. This is the basic rule of any company. Big or small, every employer tries at keeping his employees, customers and clients happy. Imagine if an organization has a wide range of refreshments to grab, at fingertips; if they could enjoy

GROWING FOR THE FUTURE

We always care about putting healthy and nutritious food on the table, but we also care about our impact on the earth. Using ingredients and packaging that are sustainably sourced, generate less waste and consume less energy is all part of our environmentally responsible way of doing business. Foods and beverages accounted for more than 52% of Unilevers global revenues in 2011. In contrast, it generated only 18% of its sales from foods and beverages in the Indian market, compared to 50% sales from home care and 30% sales from beauty and personal care. The foods category is currently also much less profitable in India. Even though beverage brands like Bru, Lipton and Brooke Bond have performed relatively better, packaged food brands like Knorr, Kissan and Kwality Walls have significantly under-performed their competition in the country and have serious profitability concerns, in contrast to the global competence of Unilevers powerful food brands.
