Western Hemisphere, excluding U.S.A., Africa, Asia and Pacific countries.
From the 1980s to the present, we continue to grow through acquisitions and internally
developed businesses that give us leadership positions in a number of areas.
We acquired Life Scan, Inc. (blood glucose monitors for diabetics), Neutrogena
Corporation, and skin care brands such as CLEAN & CLEAR, RoC and
AVEENO.
The acquisition of DePuy, Inc. made us a world leader in orthopaedics.
We formed Ortho Biotech Products, LP (a biotechnology pioneer) and Ethicon
Endo-Surgery, Inc. (minimally invasive surgery) out of internal businesses.
We merged with Centocor, Inc. which brought us REMICADE® (infliximab).
Through our operating companies, we introduced the first mass market disposable

PROJECT
Techno economic feasibility report is on the entrance of our company in to Men’s range
of cosmetics.
Report in times of India published on 23 Jul 2006 explains the surprise upsurge in
demand for male grooming products.
Previously, men believed that they are not supposed to use fairness creams and this was
the domain of ladies only. However, times have changed now and male also became
conscious for their look. The growing demand of different cosmetics and skin care
products for men proves that men are now taking care of their skin.
They are using different skin care products to protect their skin from sun and every day’s
pollution. Especially the Indian Men, they didn't think anything beyond an aftershave
lotion and a perfume or body deodorant. But now they started going to beauty parlors.
They are happily ready to pay Rs. 100-200/- on hair cutting and face massage simply we
can say that today male are trying to build the USP of good looking.
There may be a genuine need for this product that the male skin in India is three times
more exposed to the sun UV rays, five times more exposed to pollution, twice more
exposed to stress, and considerably more abused by abrasive shaving blade action than
women's skin.
This is in year 2004, when Gillette conducted a survey to know the attitude of Indian
customers towards use of cosmetics products. The result showed that the Indian male
spent more time on grooming than ever before.
Indian male take an average of 20 minutes in front of mirror to groom them compared
with Indian female who take an average of 18 minutes in front of mirror at every
morning. Along with this so many other companies conducted study on same line and get
almost similar result. This is also noticed that 25-30% of fairness products are purchased
and used by male customers.
Indian fairness creams market is estimated at Rs.800 crores. (Star Weekend Magazine,
May 12, 2006) and Indian male fairness cream market is estimated at Rs.200 crores.
Fair and Handsome clocked sales of Rs 16 crore in the first 11 months of its launch and
is expected to generate as much as Rs 65-70 crore in the current fiscal year.The cosmetic
giant Hindustan Unilever also going to introduce complete range after the entrance of
Fair and Lovely Menz Active.
The Indian cosmetics industry appears to have considerable growth potential. Of the Rs
3,000-crore cosmetics and toiletries industry, the market size of the skin-care segment
alone is estimated at Rs 1,200 crore. Fairness creams account for around 60 per cent of
the skin-care business at around Rs 700 crore.
This segment has some of the big names such as Hindustan Lever (Fair & Lovely) with
a massive 53 per cent market share, followed by CavinKare (Fairever) with over12 per
cent share .Other players such as Emami (Gold Turmeric and Naturally Fair)
Financial management
Gathering information from finance department, it all needs 35 crores of rupees which
can be easily available from the company’s funds.
This option would definitely provide profitability as project can yield 20%-25% profit on
net investment (as per competitor’s market survey) and our funds are utilized.

The whole process can be outsourced to any of the following companies:
The product can be made at companies own plant situated at Baddi ,Nalagarh.
There is no special requirement of any new machinery but the packaging and some
ingredients are required to make the product.
The cost of production is reduced by outsourcing higher amount of production and all
dealers are capable to maintain the standards of company.
Above dealers in India are already producing various products for re known brands in
India.
Marketing management
In the earlier times, the market for fairness products was not at all developed as people
love to use homemade products only viz. besan, multani mitti, curd, egg yolk etc. because
we Indians have been under a strong influence of herbal products and have habit of using
"Desi Nuskhe".
After modernization and globalization different companies felt the changing life style and
started selling their fairness products under the categories of Talcum Powder, sunscreen
lotions, vanishing creams, cold creams etc.
The fairness cream market was growing at 25% p.a., as compared to the overall cosmetic
products market's growth of 15% p.a. In 2000, there were 7 main brands in the fairness
product market across the country. Today there are so many multinational and local
brands in the fairness product market available across the country.
The saying that 'supply creates its own demand' is proved to be true in this context.
Fairness product is different from other consumer durables and FMCG products.
The use of the product is guided by psychological drives, because meaning of beauty is
completely personal in nature and it varies from person to person. 'Beauty lies in eyes of
beholder'. At present we have so many domestic and multinational brands in this category
Segmenting: The product is made for upper middle class people who are
basically from the age group of 15 to 35 and the monthly income of individual is from
15000p.m. to 45000p.m. and the recognized competitors are
Targeting: The target of the product is youth who wants to be fair and the
name is like that it could explain the features too.
Positioning: The advertisement campaign of the product will make to set the
mind set up of targeted segment in such a way that it should compile with the
requirement of companies present status.
