EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In order to predict the consumer buying behavior towards liquid handwash we conducted a suvey
of sample size 100 in order to predict the level of awareness,practice,brand loyalty among
consumers of liquid hand wash. We followed Convenient random sampling methodology and
filled 100 questionnaires having maximum frequency of mostly youth people(16-25 years)
having income 0-1000Rs,the rest were aged businessman and service class people having higher
incomes than this.After filling the questionnaires, we entered the data into SPSS thereafter we
analysed it we found there is considerable amount of awareness and practice among the buyers
of liquid hand wash and Dettol happens to be market leader in this segment in Infocity area
followed by Lifebuoy and others. Brand is the most deciding factor for buying Liquid handwash
followed by Price,Variants and Advertisments. Rest of the brands apart from Lifebuoy and
Dettol need to have proper penetration in this area with better promotional offers to capture
market share.
Liquid soap is one of those things that we tend to take for granted. Although soap has a very
lengthy history, liquid soap did not come on to the soap scene until the 1800s. In 1865 William
Shepphard patented liquid soap. In 1898 B.J. Johnson Soap Company introduced Palmolive. This
new soap was made of palm and olive oils and it grew popular in a short amount of time. B.J
Johnson Company would make a stunning profit off of Palmolive that they changed their name
to Palmolive.
INTRODUCTION
Earlier in India liquid handwash was not popular. Though people wash hands but they do not
prefer liquid handwash. FMCG Company creates awareness for changing hand washing habit.
They try to make people health conscious in respect to washing hands. In FMCG segment Liquid
handwash is a growing product category.
The importance of personal care and hygiene brings us to our product which we have chosen for
our market research project: Liquid Hand Wash
Hand hygiene pertains to the hygiene practices related to minimizes or prevent disease and the
spreading of disease. The main purpose of washing hands is to cleanse the hands bacteria or
viruses and chemicals which can cause personal harm or disease.

model of cleanliness. Next are Kids(31%) who washes hand either by their own or with the help

Smell that Dettol has and at times few customers prefer other brands because of Price,Variants or
impact of persuasive advertisements on them. Lifebuoy has great fragnance and is avaibale at a
cheaper price than dettol preferably will do well lower income groups and rural areas.
Palmolive,Santoor ,Godrej, Himalya have weaker distribution channels in Infocity area so the
availability of these brands is not much more though quality and price are equivalent to other
brands.
Dettol should introduce variants with good fragrances at the same level of quality as other
brands.
Palmolive,Santoor and Himalaya should start penetrating well in the areas such as infocity.
Advertising should be done taking kids who wash their hands by their own by liquid
handwash brands.
Lifebuoy should work on Brand building as image is the important deciding factor for
switching brand loyalty.
Lifebuoy should work on volume promotion and introduce more variants to capture more
market share
