4. PHILIPS:-

ROYAL PHILIPS ELECTRONICS, a global leader in the three interlocking domains of

healthcare, lifestyle and technology recently announced its foray into the water purification market. Philips
Electronics India ltd, a subsidiary of the Netherlands based Royal Philips electronics endorsed the
announcement by launching the “Philips Intelligent Water Purifier”, a state of art advanced UV Water Purifier.
Said to bring about a revolution in the water purification market, the company not only promises to provide
pure and safe water but the new range also features delivery convenience to the consumers. Adopting the policy
of aggressive marketing, various ‘Experience Centers’ will be set up in high traffic areas wherein the consumer
can see, touch, feel and experience the water purifier. The demonstrator will also inform the consumer about the
nearest retail purchase point of the product.

Philips has also set up a robust CRM system for providing sales support whereby a consumer helpline called
‘Philips Pure Water Care helpline’ which is already operation.

MARKET SHARE
It is estimated that roughly two thirds of the existing water purification market belongs to UV
water purifiers and one third is shared between reverse osmosis purification systems and chemical purifiers. In
the UV purifier segment, Eureka Forbes’ Aqua guard is the clear market leader with approximately 68% market
share. Other brands include Philips’ Intelligent Water Purifier with 7% and HUL’pureit. With 25% market share.
The UV purifier market is estimated to be growing at a lower rate than the chemical based segment.
Reverse osmosis purifiers, which are rather expensive and not the preferred option in many areas, have a smaller
share of the market when compared with UV purifiers and chemical based systems. In the reverse osmosis
segment, Eureka Forbes is again the major player with 60% share. A major portion of the remaining 40% belongs
to Kent reverse osmosis Systems
 MARKET TRENDS
The water purifier market is seeing a three-way fight between the two global giants, Hindustan
Unilever and Philips, and the local market leader, Eureka Forbes which has unleashed a new national campaign
for its economy water purifier brand.

Both HUL and Eureka are gearing up to woo the large section of the lower-income group which could not
afford ultra-violet water purifiers with a starting price of about Rs 5,000 and do not have steady supply of
electricity and tap water

HUL, which began selling its Pure it brand of water purifier nationally earlier this year, is now being
challenged by Eureka Forbes with its Aqua sure brand launched nationally this month.

Aqua sure uses a resin based technology in which the water is treated by a chemical like bromine and then
the chemical is removed from the water after it purifies it. This product also does not need electricity.

Eureka is straddling the retail and also direct selling model to increase its market share and keep HUL at bay.
While HUL is selling its water purifier at Rs 1,800, Eureka has priced one of its models at Rs 1,600.

Industry experts say that in India three types of water purifiers are being marketed now — ultra-violet based,
reverse osmosis and resin based. The country’s largest water purifier maker Eureka Forbes’ Aqua guard is the
market leader with 68 per cent in UV-based market.

In reverse osmosis (RO) as well the company enjoys 60 per cent share and Delhi-based Kent RO systems
has 40 per cent share. RO based water purifiers are the most expensive section of the water purifier market and
are priced at Rs 13,000 and above.
 Philips, on the other hand, which uses UV-based technology to purify water, has dropped its price to Rs
6,995 from the initial launch price of Rs 8,500. Industry sources say its struggle to establish itself in the market
with lesser priced water purifiers by competitors has been difficult..

Out of the 220 million households in India, only about 8 million use water purifiers. Eureka Forbes has a
reach of 6 million households. HUL, in its first three years of operations, has already sold 1 million units.

PORTER’S GENERIC COMPETITIVE STRATEGIES

To analyze a firm’s success in an industry in which it is operating its position in the industry and its
attractiveness should be evaluated. a firm can perform profitably, even though the industry is not lucrative, if it
can employ its resources optimally. If the company determinant of a firm’s profitability is the attractiveness of
the industry on which it operates, an important secondary determinant is its position with in that industry. Even
though an industry may have below-average profitability, a firm that is optimally positioned can generate
superior returns.

Michael E.Porter suggested that all strategies are the derived strategies from generic strategies. They are given
below

1. Cost leadership strategy: - a firm gains cost leadership in an industry when it’s cost of production is
lower than that of its competitors. It can gain cost leadership by managing its processes and resources
efficiently this strategies involves attempting to minimize cost in every aspect of the business.

2. Differentiation strategy: - firm that adopt the differentiation strategy successfully have access to advance
scientific research ,a highly skilled labor force, effective communication strategies, etc. a firm may
differentiate its products and service in various way . it may differentiate itself from others in terms of
design or brand name.

3. Focus strategy: - a firm is pursuing a focus strategy trend to serve a specific segment instead of catering
to the entire market. This segment may be a special group of customers, a specific geographic area or
particular product or service line. A firm following a focus strategy and also differentiated strategy will
have advantage of pricing their product higher.

In water purifier industry the product of this industry is divided in to two segments first is reverse
osmosis segment and second is ultra violet segment.
 In reverse osmosis segment the Eureka Forbes ltd follow cost leadership strategy and differentiation
strategy because this company have three type of RO.those are used for low TDS(Total dissolved solid) water
and high TDS water. The all three product of this company are different for their storage capacity, purification
stages and modal. And this company is working about 25 years so the company has lots of goodwill and brand
name. On the other hand Kent also comes in water purification industry with their product. Kent is follow focus
strategy and differentiation strategy because Kent is working only one product that is Kent RO. Kent brand
ambassador is bollywood actress HEMA MALINI. Philips also come in this industry with there brand name so
Philips follow differentiation strategy.

In ultra-violet segment the Eureka Forbes ltd.follow cost leadership. Differentiation and focus strategies
because this company have five types of UV those are different for there feature like storage capacity, online,
electric & non electric, water outflow, etc. the company have good band name. In this segment the company
targets all levels of customer. On the other hand HUL follow the differentiation and focus strategies because the
company have good brand name. And HUL have only one product that is PURE IT.

HUL, which began selling its PURE IT brand of water purifier nationally earlier this year, is now being
challenged by Eureka Forbes with its AQUASURE brand launched nationally this month.
.

4Ps Analysis

The major marketing management decision can be classified on one of following four categories

1. Product

2. Price

3. Place

4. Promotion

These variables are known as the marketing mix or 4 P’s of marketing. They are the variables that marketing managers
can control in order to best satisfy customers in the target market.

Product: - The product is the physical product or service offered to the costumer. In the case of physical
product, it also refers to any services or conveniences that are part of the offering. Product decision includes
aspects such as functions, appearance, packaging, service, warranty, etc.

Price: - Pricing decision should take into account profit margins and the probable pricing response of
competitors. Pricing includes not only the list price, but also discounts, financing, and other options such as
leasing.
Place: - Place decisions are those associated with channels of distribution that serve as the means for getting
the product to the target customers. The distribution system performs transactional, logistical, and facilitating
functions.

Promotion: - Promotion decisions are those related to communicating and selling to potential consumers.
Since these costs can be large in proportion to the product price, a break-even analysis should be performed
when making promotion decision. It is useful to know the value off a customer in order to determine whether
addition customers are worth the cost of acquiring them.
