INDIAN TOOTHPASTE INDUSTRY:AN
OVERVIEW

 India is still a nascent country in dental hygiene, with


the majority of the population still not having access to
modern dental care but relying on substances like coal
ash and neem sticks.

 Per capita toothpaste consumption stood at 74g in


2005, which is amongst the lowest in the world,
compared to 350g and 300g in Malaysia and Vietnam
respectively.

 It is a Rs. 2,200-crore market.


INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Contd…

• The dentist to population ratio is a critically low


1:35000 in the country. This results in low oral hygiene
consciousness and widespread dental diseases

• Less than 15% of the Indian toothpaste users brush


twice a day.
INDUSTRY OVERVIEW Contd…
• 10 per cent growth in 2000, 2.4 per cent in 2001. In
the first six months of 2002, the market for
toothpastes in fact shrank by around 5.7 per cent in
value.

• The market leader is Colgate Palmolive, and the


challenger, Hindustan Lever. Colgate and Hindustan
Lever together account for over 85% of the organized
toothpaste market

• Regional low priced competitors such as Anchor


Healthcare & Ajanta India, who priced their offerings
at over 40% discount, are giving market leaders a run
for their money
SITUATION ANALYSIS

• Low priced competitors like Anchor and Ajanta


accounted for more than 80 per cent of the growing
‘discount segment’.

• Colgate revitalized one of its existing brands, Cibaca as


Colgate-Cibaca. It was to act as the price flanker brand
in the portfolio. Ditto by HLL with Aim.
SITUATION ANALYSIS Contd…
• Colgate Cibaca managed to garner whopping 50% of
the market share in the discount segment and
established Colgate’s supremacy once again. HLL’s Aim
however could not match the success and was
subsequently withdrawn from the market.

• Colgate Cibaca has risen to become the 4th largest


paste brand in the country in volume terms after
Colgate Dental Cream, Pepsodent and Close-Up (in
fact Colgate Cibaca is now #2 in some geographies)
PROBLEM AT HAND

• Building the brand Cibaca without cannibalizing


its parent brand Colgate Dental Cream.

• Cibaca needs to have a strong communication


strategy in order to grow.

• Moreover, a major portion of the rural segment is


still untapped- an enormous potential market for
Cibaca.

Positioning
 Cibaca is positioned as the first economy toothpaste by
Colgate with its tagline “ Lajawab Kam Kifayati Daam”
proves its commitment i.e. ROI to the consumer.

 To put a step ahead, the brand needs to reposition Cibaca


to change the mindset that Cibaca targets only economy
class. It should target the enormous potential in rural
areas.

 It can position itself with new variants like mint,


cardamom, cinnamon, elaichi etc. which makes it
toothpaste with freshness as well as medical benefits.

scientific evidence and drama.

media will have the maximum target coverage.

 Scheduling- Since Cibaca is an FMCG product
continuity scheduling method will be the best way.

 The media used for the Cibaca ad campaign should


very necessarily create a mood and excitement in
the minds of the consumer.

 The media strategy should be very flexible for a


product like Cibaca to threats, availability of media
etc.
Media Strategy contd…
 Cibaca needs a high level of reach and frequency.

 Since, Cibaca is repositioned there should be heavy


amount of investment in media which will further
help in creating imagery.

 It can organize camps for rural segment where they


can demonstrate the product and usage.

 Budget consideration is an important factor while


designing media strategies.
Communication Strategy for Cibaca

• Colgate’s flagship dental cream is popular in metros.


Hence its ads should be in cosmopolitan TV
channels and newspapers.

• Cibaca’s ads should come in local Indian channels


like ETV Bangla, Alpha Bangla etc. Advertising in
between the daily soaps to gain attention of women
folks.

• Print ads in local newspapers like Dainik Jagran,


Navbharat Times etc.
Communication Strategy for Cibaca

• Dental heath camps in rural areas. Word of


mouth can be effective in rural areas.

• Below the line activities are to be organized


which will help in sales promotions, lead
generation etc.

• Offers like brush free with toothpaste for limited


period.
CONCLUSION
 There is a huge untapped market in suburban and
rural areas as people still use neem sticks and coal
for brushing.

 With its new promotional and creative strategies,


Cibaca can mark a distinct image and put and end to
competition posed by Babool, Anchor and Ajanta.

 Cibaca catering the needs of both the segments i.e.


lower and middle class will help it to increased
market share compared to other competitors.
