1-Introduction.
IN this world of globalization in order to stand in the competition with the developed countries extra ordinary skills knowledge, technology, proper time sense is required so that we can differentiate ourselves from others and make our position strong. As a student of professional course such as BBA, we should have enough practical knowledge along with theoretical concepts and also the ability to correlate theory with the current practical scenario, we should have the capacity to find different situation where this theory is exactly applicable so that to making business decision and building strategies can become easier. During these entire three years, we had prepared different project reports including an industrial visit, financial project and finally a group project in the three consecutive years FY, SY and TY respectively basically group report is made for TY students with an aim to build team working skills, develop habits to adjust with different members and their thinking, work with unity, coordination and co-operation with a view to develop required team building skills , group report is very apt for TY students considering their maturity understanding and thinking level. Thus group project perfectly help students to gain extra knowledge part from that given in the classroom by the faculty members. This experience is very useful to the student s who has the aim to become future manager. We were making report on AN ANALYTICAL CONSUMER PREFRENCES FOR MAKE LOCAL ICE-CREAMS IN THE CITY OF AHMEDABAD. We are making report on four local Ice-creams

2.1. Meaning.
Research can be defined as a Systematic Design, collection, Analysis & reporting of the data relevant to a specific Problem faced by an organization.

2.2. Objective.

1).Primary Objective:Our primary objective is to know about AN ANALYTICAL CONSUMER PREFRENCES FOR LOCAL ICE-CREAMS IN THE CITY OF AHEMADABAD.We had taken four Local Icecream Brands. Which under below. 1. Janta Ice-cream, 2. Patel Ice-cream, 3. Farki Ice-cream, 4. Ashrafi Ice-cream.
-$apphire GrouP. Page 11

Its objective is to describe market characteristics or functions. To describe characteristics of market. To describe taste & preference of consumers

To describe taste & preference of consumers about local ice-cream brands Janta, Patel, Asharfi, and Farki. This was located in Ahemdabad.

2).Secondary Objective: To Estimate the employment generation through the Ice-cream local Brand in Ahemdabad. Type & nature of competition Size & structure of industry.

2.2. Research Design.


The Research Design can be termed as the form of Research which involves various objectives behind the Research. It can be conducted in the three major Forms: 1. Exploratory Research. 2. Descriptive Research. 3. Causal Research.

1. Exploratory Research
-$apphire GrouP. Page 12

When Research is made in order to find out something new which is not known to us & having Hypothesis is termed as Exploratory Research. The Objective is to explore or search through a problem or a Situation or to provide insights and understanding. Our research is on the local brands of ice-creams & their taste & preferences. So, we use EXPLORATORY RESEARCH to gain additional, new information in the research area

2. Descriptive Research.
It is aimed at describing certain situation. Competition research, Market potential research for customer test & preferences are the various examples or descriptive research. Its objective is to describe market characteristics or functions. Following methods are used the descriptive research. I. Secondary data survey II. Panels and observational and other data

3. Causal Research.
When a research is done to establish cause & relationshionship between two variables is known as causal Research.
-$apphire GrouP. Page 13

The objective of causal research is to determine cause and affect relationship between the two variables. But, we are not using causal research for consumers taste & preference about local icecream brand.

2.4. Research Data.


The research data involves the sources of data to be collected from. The data sources may be of two types:

1. Primary data sources.


Its kind of data which is new & fresh data obtain with a view to solve the research problem. Its not existed anywhere. Methods of collecting primary data:Observation:

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 14

It simply means collect the data by Observation. Observation means its recording & analyzing the behavioral pattern of people, object, and event in a systematic manner to obtain research related information. Survey method: Survey method refers that the researcher is collecting the information by doing survey. There are several survey methods. We are not using other methods of survey for collecting primary data such as telephonic interview, mail method, and online method. Personal interview: It means face of respondent by researcher. We taken Personal interview of Icecream Customer during the Consuming Ice-cream or Carrying Ice-cream from family or home...

2. Secondary data sources:Its kind of data which is existed already & available to the researcher for his research purpose. We using, Internet (Ice-cream Industry), Old News paper (Business Standard), Government Site (Government Policy.)
-$apphire GrouP. Page 15

2.5. Research Approach.


The research approach defines how we will get the information from our respondents. There are mainly four methods of the research approach: I. Observational Approach II. Survey Approach III. Focus group Research IV. Experimental Approach As a research approach we have used the survey method. Here we have asked the questions face to face to the respondents.

2.6. Sampling.
A sample on the other hand is a sub group of the population selected for participation in the study. (1) (2) (3) (4) Sample Sample Unit Sample size Sampling procedure Sample :-

2.7. Contact Method.


The contact method clarifies how to make a contact with the respondent. As far as our research is concerned we have used the following of contact:

[1] Personal interview


The Personal interview is such a method where directly face to face communication takes place. We have used this method to contract our respondents.

[2] Telephonic interview

Whenever we make the use of the telephone device to for getting the information from the respondent, it is consider as telephonic interview. We also have to take some telephonic interview for getting the permission about the face to face interview.

2.8. Research Instrument.


Questionnaire
-$apphire GrouP. Page 18

Questionnaires mean set of Question.

[1] Structured Questionnaires:When in the questionnaires, the questions are asked in logical sequence and numbers of question are predecided it is called structured questionnaires. We are using structured questionnaires, as research instrument.

[2] Structured Questionnaires:When the number of question is not pre-decided and none of the question asked in logical sequence, it is called unstructured questionnaires. We are not using unstructured questionnaires, as research instrument.

2.9. Limitation of research.


Every research has its own positive as well as negative points. Similarly we have to face many problems. The limitation of our research can be shown as under:

[1] Primary Data Collection: (1) Time

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 19

The time was the major factor considered as a major limitation of our research. It was really a time consuming task to get the required information, analyzing and evaluating the data and to finish the research

(2). Cost
The cost was also one of the responsible factors to be considered as a limitation. We have to spend more to reach the different places for getting the required data for the research.

(3) Poor Response


We have to face major problem in terms of the poor response of the respondents. Even somewhere we have to face the poor words by the respondents.

[1] Secondary Data Collection:

(1) Old Data


We cannot get fresh data regarding the census. We have to use the old data for our analysis.

3-History of Ice-cream.
Our love affair with ice cream is centuries old.

The ancient Greeks, Romans, and Jews were known to chill wines and juices. This practice evolved into fruit, ices and, eventually, frozen milk and cream mixtures. In the first century, Emperor Nero reportedly sent messengers to the mountains to collect snow so that his kitchen staff could make concoctions flavored with fruit and honey.
Page 21

-$apphire GrouP.

Twelve centuries later, Marco Polo introduced Europe to a frozen milk dessert similar to the modern sherbet that he had enjoyed in the Far East. The Italians were especially fond of the frozen confection that by the sixteenth century was being called ice cream. In 1533, the young Italian princess Catherine de Medici went to France as the bride of the future King Henry II. Included in her trousseau were recipes for frozen desserts.

The first public sale of ice cream occurred in Paris at the Caf Procope in 1670.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 22

The development of ice harvesting and the invention of the insulated icehouse in the nineteenth century made ice more accessible to the general public.

In 1846, Nancy Johnson designed a hand-cranked ice cream freezer that improved production slightly.

The first documented full-time manufacturing of ice cream took place in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1851 when a milk dealer named Jacob Fussell found himself with a surplus of fresh cream. Ice cream is a sweet, flavored mixture based on dairy products that have turned solid through freezing. Traditional ice cream contains milk, cream, sugar, natural flavors and eggs (though not always). When it begins to freeze, the mixture is beaten to stop the formation of ice crystals, which results in a light and creamy product.

For a product to be called "ice cream," it must contain at least 10% fat, or 8% if there is added cocoa, chocolate syrup, fruits or nuts.
Page 23

-$apphire GrouP.

If a product contains less fat, it is called a "dairy dessert."

Industrially made ice cream is generally made from a mixture of cream, milk or evaporated milk (or both), to which no fatty milk solids are added. It also contains sugar (14%-16%), emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors and colorings, sometimes natural but most often artificial. The yield is the increase in volume of a frozen product by adding air, also known as the "overrun." Ice cream with an overrun of 20%-50% would yield creamier ice cream; above 50% would yield mushy, liquidly ice cream that melts quickly.

4-Industry Scenario.
-$apphire GrouP. Page 24

Most ice cream is purchased by the consumer on basis of flavor and ingredients. There are several different flavors of ice cream manufactured. Vanilla accounts for over half of the ice cream consumed. This is partly because it is used in so many products, like milkshakes, sundaes, banana splits, in addition to being consumed with pies, desserts, etc. It is the ice cream manufacturers responsibility to prepare an excellent mix, but often they put the responsibility of the flavors and ingredients on the supplier.

Interesting Ice-cream facts.


Although the origin of ice cream is unclear in history books, the first ice cream parlor in America opened in New York City in 1776. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan designated July as National Ice Cream Month and the third Sunday of the month as National Ice-Cream Day. More ice cream is sold on Sunday than any other day of the week Ice cream and related frozen desserts are consumed by more than 90 percent of households in the U.S. It takes the average person just about 50 licks to polish off a single scoop ice cream cone.

A Harvard doctoral student recently calculated that there are more than 11.5 million possible Creation

Fact/ International Ice-Association.


The trend in ice cream is certainly towards indulgence and the sales prove it. Premium and super-premium quality ice creams (with 41.4% of the total dollar sales) continue to outsell regular ice cream as well as the light (7% of overall sales), reduced fat (0.7% of overall sales), low fat (3% of overall sales) and nonfat (2% of overall Sales)

As you start out in your new business, have confidence that you will be part of a well-established and evergrowing market.

Ice cream sales are a $23 billion industry in the United States, according to the International Ice Cream Association, and a significant amount of that ice cream is purchased at ice cream shops. According to the International Dairy Foods Association, Americans spent $13.9 billion on ice cream purchases eaten away from home in 2006.

Canadians are also big ice cream consumers, spending nearly $2 billion on ice cream and frozen desserts in 2005, according to Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Short Profile of International Ice Cream Companies:

[1] Kwality Walls Ltd


Kwality Ice Cream is the pioneer in the Indian icecream manufacturing industry and in 1956 became the first company in the country to use imported technology for manufacturing ice-cream on a commercial scale. As the ice-cream industry exploded in India, in 1995 Kwality Group joined hands with Hindustan Lever Limited and then there Was no looking back. The Indian consumer market was introduced to KWALITY WALLS the result of A collaboration between global brand Walls and the leading Indian ice-cream brand Kwality.

Though the two giants eventually parted ways, the collaboration made Kwality a household name and created deep in roads for the brand in the consumer market.

Today, Kwality is not just a brand it is the ice-cream associated with the Indian summer. Its the first choice in ice-cream for any child or adult during the scorching Indian summers.

Kwality ice-creams are trusted not only for their rich, creamy flavors, but also for their trusted quality and nutritious food value.

out needs of the farmers and their cows, as well as the planet's needs.

The company has, so far, reduced energy use on their 11 farms by 2%, and converted all their farms to green energy.

Also, in 2002, Ben & Jerry's in the USA committed to reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 10% by 2007, and by investing in a variety of efficiency measures, this target was achieved with ease the USA now produce 32% less carbon dioxide emissions (per pint of ice cream) today (in 2008) than in 2002. This initiative was brought to the exclusive provider of milk for Ben & Jerry's European ice cream production, Beemster Cheese, in 2007.

In addition to helping farmers and their cows, in 2001 Ben & Jerry's began sourcing vanilla, cocoa, and coffee, for their smooth ice creams, from cooperatively run farmer associations - these community structures help promote their members' quality of life, improve worker's benefits, and sustain a commitment to their land and communities. In 2006, the world's first ever vanilla ice cream made with Fair-trade ingredients was launched by Ben &

Jerry's. 2007 saw the release of Vanilla Toffee Crunch, using 100% Fair-trade certified cocoa, sugar, and vanilla, and in 2008, Chunky Monkey was guaranteed to be traded in accordance with international Fair-trade standards as well.

4.2. National

Major ice-cream brands like AMUL, Arun Ice-Creams, and Mother Dairy. There is a countrywide availability of various ice cream flavors. There are also ice cream chains like Baskin Robbins, Natural's, and Frazee, Which is costlier then packaged ice cream. An Overview looking at some industry facts first. In 2007, the global market of ice creams was pegged at $61.6 billion in terms of retail value or 15 billion liters in terms of volume.

Of this, the Asia-Pacific ice cream market was worth $13 billion in terms of retail value and 5,128 million liters in terms of volume. Coming to India,

Growing at a rate of approximately 12%. The ice cream market in India can be divided into: the branded market and the grey market. The branded
Page 33

-$apphire GrouP.

market at present is 100 million liters per annum valued at Rs. 800 cores. The grey market consists of small local players and cottage industry players. Despite a decent growth rate, the ice cream industry faces the challenge of low per capita consumption. This when India is a country with hot climate with a young population.

I. The ice cream industry in India is worth Rs. 2,000 II. The industry can be divided into the branded market and the unbranded market. The branded market at present is 100 million liters per annum valued at Rs. 800 cores III.In 2008-09, in the branded ice cream market, Amul held the number one spot, with a market share or 38%, followed by Quality Walls at 14%, Vadilal at 12% and Mother Diary at 8% IV.The per capita consumption of ice cream in India is approximately 300 ml, as against the world average of 2.3 liters per annum V. Vanilla, Strawberry and Chocolate together constitute approximately 60% of the market.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 34

Indian cuisine has a huge range of desserts in its mix. Ice cream always competes against these for attention. Besides desserts, ice cream also vies for attention with other like foods for example in summers with cold drinks, coffee, juice, etc.

Another trend that is witnessing a change is the seasonal nature of the industry. Having said that, the peak season for ice cream still remains the summer months of April-June and dips in the months of November-February.

According to the industry players, this trend especially holds true for the North and the Western parts of India.

Taking a cue from the ice cream market, dairy industry is introducing more ethnic products.

Amul recently introduced flavored lassi (churned yogurt) in rose and kewada flavors. Other ethnic dairy products that are making their presence felt, are shrikhand (concentrated sweetened yogurt), gulab.

Jamun (fried dough-balls in sugar syrup), rasogollas (cottage cheese balls in syrup), kulfi, mishti doi (sweet curd), and dahi (plain curd)

4.3 Raw Material and Ingredients.


Super-Premium Ice Cream has very low overrun (air) and high fat content, and uses only the highest quality ingredients. Ice Cream is a frozen dessert product containing at least 10% milk-fat and at least 20% total milk solids, safe and suitable sweeteners and optional stabilizing, flavoring and dairy derived ingredients Reduced Fat Ice Cream is made with 25% less fat than the referenced ice cream. Light or Lite Ice Cream is made with 50% less fat or 1/3 fewer calories than referenced ice cream, provided. That in the case of caloric reduction, less than 50% of thealories is derived from fat. Low fat Ice Cream contains not more than 3 grams of fat per serving Nonfat / Fat Free Ice Cream contains less than 0.5 grams of fat per serving.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 38

No Sugar Added Ice Cream may contain artificial sweeteners, but is not sweetened with added sugar. Sorbet is frozen dessert similar in composition to an ice. It is a non-dairy product with relatively high sugar content. It generally contains fruit, fruit puree or fruit juice.

4.4. Production Process of Ice-Cream.


Definition of production of Ice-cream:
A smooth, sweet, cold food prepared from a frozen mixture of milk products and flavorings, containing a minimum of 10 percent milk fat and eaten as a snack or dessert.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 39

Ice cream is a sweet, flavored mixture based on dairy products that have turned solid through freezing. Traditional ice cream contains milk, cream, sugar, natural flavors and eggs (though not always). When it begins to freeze, the mixture is beaten to stop the formation of ice crystals, which results in a light and creamy product. For a product to be called "ice cream," it must contain at least 10% fat, or 8% if there is
-$apphire GrouP. Page 40

added cocoa, chocolate syrup, fruits or nuts. If a product contains less fat, it is called a "dairy dessert."

Industrially made ice cream is generally made from a mixture of cream, milk or evaporated milk (or both), to which no fatty milk solids are added. It also contains sugar (14%-16%), emulsifiers, stabilizers, flavors and colorings, sometimes natural but most often artificial. The yield is the increase in volume of a frozen product by adding air, also known as the "overrun." Ice cream with an overrun of 20%-50% would yield creamier ice cream; above 50% would yield mushy, liquidly ice cream that melts quickly.

Process of Production:
Step-1 Blending the mixture Step -2 Pasteurizing to kill bacteria
-$apphire GrouP. Page 41

Step -3 Homogenizing to produce a uniform texture Step -4 Cooling and resting to blend flavors Step -5 Flavoring the ice cream Step -6 Freezing to soft-serve consistency Step -7 Adding fruit and sweetened chunks Step -8 Packaging and bundling the finished product Step -9 Hardening Step -10 Quality Control Step-11 The Future

Step-1 Blending the mixture:The milk arrives at the ice cream plant in refrigerated tanker trucks from local dairy farms. The milk is then pumped into Approx. 5,000 gal (18,925 1) storage silos that are kept at 36F (2C). Pipes bring the milk in pre-measured amounts to 1,000 gal (3, 7851) stainless steel blenders. Premeasured amounts of eggs, sugar, and additives are blended with the milk for six to eight minutes.

Step -2 Pasteurizing to kill bacteria:-$apphire GrouP. Page 42

The blended mixture is piped to the pasteurization machine, which is composed of a series of thin stainless steel plates. Hot water, approximately 182F (83C), flows on one side of the plates. The cold milk mixture is piped through on the other side. The water warms the mixture to a temperature of 180F (82C), effectively killing any existing bacteria.

Step -3 Homogenizing to produce a uniform texture:By the application of intensive air pressure, sometimes as much as 2,000 pounds per square inch (141 kg per sq cm), the hot mixture is forced through a small opening into the homogenizer. This breaks down the fat particles and prevents them from separating from the rest of the mixture. In the homogenizer, which is essentially a high-pressure piston pump, The mixture is further blended as it is drawn into the pump cylinder on the down stroke and then forced back out on the upstroke.

Step -4 Cooling and resting to blend flavors:The mixture is piped back to the pasteurizer where cold water, approximately 34F (1C), flows on one side of the pl1ates as the mixture passes on the opposite side. In this manner, the mixture is cooled to 36F (2 C). Then the mixture is pumped to 5,000 gal (18,925 1) tanks in a room set at 36F (2C), where it sits for four to eight hours to allow the ingredients to blend.

Step -5 Flavoring the ice cream:-$apphire GrouP. Page 43

The ice cream is pumped to stainless steel vats, each holding up to 300 gal (1,136 1) of mixture. Flavorings are piped into the vats and blended thoroughly.

Step -6 Freezing to soft-serve consistency: Now the mixture must be frozen. It is pumped into continuous freezers that can freeze up to 700 gal (2,650 1) per hour. The temperature inside the freezers is kept at -40F (-40C), using liquid ammonia as a freezing agent. While the ice cream is in the freezer, air is injected into it. When the mixture leaves the freezer, it has the consistency of soft-serve ice cream.

Step -7 Adding fruit and sweetened chunks


If chunks of food such as strawberry or cookie pieces are to be added to the ice cream, the frozen mixture is pumped to a fruit feeder. The chunks are loaded into a hopper at the top of the feeder. Another, smaller hopper, fitted with a star wheel, is located on the front of the feeder. An auger on the bottom of the machine turns the hoppers so that the chunks drop onto the star wheel in pre-measured amounts. As the mixture passes through the feeder, the star wheel pushes the food chunks into the ice cream. The mixture then moves to a blender where the chunks are evenly distributed.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 44

Step -8 Packaging and bundling the finished product:Automatic filling machines drop preprinted pint or half-gallon-sized cardboard cartons into holders. The cartons are then filled with premeasured amounts of ice cream at the rate of 70-90 cartons per hour. The machine then places a lid on each carton and pushes it onto a conveyer belt. The cartons move along the conveyer belt where they pass under an ink jet that spray-paints an expiration date and production code onto each carton. After the imprinting, the cartons move through the bundler, a heat tunnel that covers each cup with plastic shrink wrapping.

Step -9 Hardening:Before storage and shipping, the ice cream must be hardened to a temperature of -10F (-23C). The conveyer system moves the ice cream cartons to a tunnel set at -30F (-34C). Constantly turning ceiling fans create a wind chill of -60F (-5 1C). The cartons move slowly back and forth through the tunnel for two to three hours until the contents are rock solid. The cartons are then stored in refrigerated warehouses until they are shipped to retail outlets.

Step -10 Quality Control: Every mixture is randomly tested during the production process. Butterfat and solid levels are tested. The bacteria levels are measured. Each mixture is also taste-tested.
-$apphire GrouP. Page 45

Ice cream producers also carefully monitor the ingredients that they purchase from outside suppliers.

Step-11 the Future: Ice cream manufacturers continue to develop new flavorings. Ironically, given the industry's experiences during Prohibition, one of the more recent innovations has been the

4.5. Demand and Supply


The ice cream industry in India is in many ways, reflective of the overall population distribution. The countrys population is primarily rural with approximately 65% of the population living in villages with a population of less than 5,000; this means There are well over 150,000 villages with a combined population in excess of 650 million. This has contributed to a highly fragmented industry that by many estimates has over 70,000 ice cream entities. The 350 million remaining people are concentrated in the cities where the industry is reasonably concentrated in the hands of a few international and domestic firms.

After liberalization, a Delhi-based trader has started importing some US ice-cream, though demand is limited by high tariffs (51 percent).

While generally all ice-cream Company require Milk. It has major problem is a scarcity of Milk in India. Major Milk Supplier is Amul and Mother Dairy and Local dairy parlor and near village.

I.6.Consumption.

Average Global consumption is 2 litre. Though India has a low per capita ice cream consumption of 300 ml per annum, the trend is slowly changing due to a number of reasons. This is still only 120 ml per capita much less than its South Asian neighbors, Pakistan (400 ml) and Sri Lanka (300 ml). Consumption is largely confined to the urban population, and predominantly during the summer. Among the flavors marketed, the most preferred are vanilla (30 pct market share), strawberry, chocolate and butterscotch in that order. To cater to the lower

end of the market some producers. have recently introduced cheaper sherbets containing artificial fruit juices and sugar.

Looking at some industry facts first. In 2007, the global market of ice creams was pegged at $61.6 billion in terms of retail value or 15 billion litters in terms of volume. The branded market at present is 100 million liters per annum valued at Rs. 800 crores.

Despite a decent growth rate, the ice cream industry faces the challenge of low per capita consumption.

This range of SUGAR FREE, LOW FAT Diabetic Delight & Prolife Probiotic Wellness Ice Cream is created for the health conscious.

Amuls entry into ice creams is regarded as successful due to the large market share it was able to capture within a short period of time due to price differential, quality of products and of course the brand name.

local brand there. But in 1947, in the wake of the partition, its founder Satish Chona had to join the exodus into India, with virtually no moveable assets.

Searching for a new turf, he tried out Dehra Dun and Indore, and finally, settled down in Ahmedabad. He had to start the venture from scratch again. In fact, he had to begin from a hand-cart at the Ahmedabad Railway Station, churning out the Ice Cream manually. He called this fledgling brand 'Havmor' - a neologism for 'Have More' - which meant the customer, got more value for money, and more taste to relish from his Ice Creams. Perhaps he didn't know it then, but he had laid the foundation for one of Western India's most enduring market legends. And good quality, like good character, wins over the situation sooner or later. Today, Havmor Ice Cream is a delicious facet of Western India's daily life and part of its market lore.

It reaches hundreds of thousands of consumers through 50 main outlets and 12000 plus dealers.

It has, however, been a long journey for the group, which traces its origins way back to 1907, when a certain unassuming gentleman, by the name of Vadilal Gandhi, the great-grand father of Virendra R Gandhi, Rajesh R Gandhi and Devanshu L Gandhi, started a soda fountain. He passed on the business to his son, Ranchod Lal, who ran a one-man show, and, with a hand cranked machine, started a small retail outlet in 1926. Eventually, Ranchod Lal's sons, Ramchandra and Lakshman, inherited the business and they were instrumental in giving a new direction to the company. The duo imparted a new vision to the venture and infused a spirit of calculated risk-taking into the company.
-$apphire GrouP. Page 53

As a result, by the 1970s, the Vadilal Company had already evolved into a modern corporate entity. "In 1972-73, the company had 8-10 outlets in

Ahmedabad. Gradually, we moved from the city to other parts of Gujarat. By 1985, the company moved towards neighbouring states like Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh. But the expansion was undertaken very methodically and we spent five to six years in spreading our business and then consolidating it" says Shri Ramchandrabhai Gandhi (Chairman).

-$apphire GrouP.

It can be define as classification of consumer into different geographical units such as cities, sellers, country, and region etc. Division of market into rural & urban areas. The sizes of villages are very important in geographical segmentation of India, rural & urban areas. Ashrfi ice-cream only planning according geographical segmentation and other have not any plan to geographical segmentation.
(1) Demographic

segmentation: It can be defined as classification of consumer into the demographic variables such as age, life cycle, life stage.

Effective segmentation criteria
-$apphire GrouP. Page 90

Not all types of segmentation are useful it is important to recognize that a market needs to use relevant variables to segment a market for ex; segmentation a market on a persons age is not relevant for a product like salt. To be useful market segment must rate favorably on the five key criteria, (1) Measurable: The size purchasing power & characteristics of the segments can be measured. Substantial: The segment is large & should be the largest to serve. A segment group worth going after with a tailored marketing program.
(2)

(3)

Differentiable: The segments are conceptually distinguishable & respond different marketing-mix elements & programs. If married & unmarried women respond similarly to on performed, they do not constitute separate segment.

Service provided by the local vendors is personalized in nature. When any customer wants to complain about the quality of product then they can directly talk to the owner. EXAMPLE:- As compare to National brands local brands provides personalized services to customer. In case of any complain they directly talk with owners and can get solution.Farki & Asharfi provide self service,Janta & Patel provides service by waiters.

EXAMPLE:- All local brands provides local flavor to create long lasting relationship. They provide shadi.com ,rajbhog, B.P.K. and more flavors.

Continuously support: Promoter provides support continuously to the local brand. EXAMPLE:- The promoters support is important of any local brand. Local brand provides continuous support to the customer.

Weakness:
Fewer outlets: Local ice-cream marketer having a few outlets. So, they cannot cover large market. National level marketers have a many outlets so they can cover large consumer market. EXAMPLE:- Farki has only 2 retail outlet.But overall number of outlets is very less with comparision of Amul,Vadilal,and Havmor Lack of cleanliness:

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 99

If we see cleanliness in the local shop then we can know that shops of local marketer are not kept cleanly. Many time savvy customers do not like taste of local ice-cream market. EXAMPLE:- Local ice cream parlors have lack of cleanliness. They are not keeping their outlet clean. So they may lose their customer. Served bowls are not put in disposal: In local ice-cream vendors bowls served are not put for disposal. So, many time its create dirty outlook of the local shop. EXAMPLE:- a Local brand provides ice cream in bowl as per traditional way, not in disposal. If they are not clean then customer not prefers. So they should avoid use of bowl. Restricted to local area: Local ice-cream cannot cover large market. So, it is restricted for local area. EXAMPLE:- In case of local brand, they have limited branches, they have not any branch out of city, state & country. No use of media:

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 100

In the local market media is not used .so, information of local ice-cream cannot reach to the large no. of population. No signifant variation in the taste & quality: In the local market ice-creams taste & quality is not change as per the demand of consumer within different similar based product. EXAMPLE:- Janta,Patel,Asharfi & Farce are not use media for their promotion and also no kind of advertisement as compare to the national brands.

Opportunity:
Growing working middle class: In the city area working class people are increasing. So, consumption of ice-cream is increased .Working class people spend their incomes good part on the icecream consumption. EXAMPLE:- As customer has more income,he has more purchasing power. Consumption of Janta,Patel,Asharfi is increasing day to day

Ahmadabad people love to go for outing on holidays:


-$apphire GrouP. Page 101

Ahmadabad people love to go for outing on holidays and on holidays they spent more money on ice-cream. EXAMPLE:- Abad people may go to Farce or Asharfi and other local brands in time of holidays. Growing youngsters: In the city no. of youngsters is increasing and young people like ice-cream more than other age group people. So, ice-cream selling of local vendors is high on youngsters. EXAMPLE:- Youngsters like ice cream more and more.It is beneficial to local brands. Long summer days: In the state and especially in the city of Ahmadabad summer days are run for longer time period. So, icecream selling of local market is increase duting that time. EXAMPLE:- Generally summer days are longer than other season days.so people like to eat ice cream for cool & relaxation, so local parlor has opportunity for more selling of ice cream.

Threats:
Competition from national brand:
-$apphire GrouP. Page 102

Local marketers have main threats from the national level brand like Havmor, Amul, Vanilla,. EXAMPLE:- Asharfi,Patel,Janta & Farce have very tough competition with national brands Amul,Vadilal & Havmor. Competition from international brand: In the local; market now international level strong competitors like quality Walla and bask in robbis are entered in the local market and they are very strong so local marketer get affected. Substitutes: Substitutes are available in the market so local market is largely affected from substitutes. EXAMPLE:- All local brands have competition with Kwality walls & Baskin robins with respect to quality,variety & shape etc. Government May effect on Raw material Supply: Its depend upon milk price because it is using in all type of customers and it is mass product if milk price increase than it may happen that government not allow to supply whom manufacture need of milk as raw material. While in ice-cream industry are totally or partly depend upon milk. EXAMPLE: - Most important raw material is milk which is in the hand of co-operative. So, that price of milk is
-$apphire GrouP. Page 103

recently rise and it Rs. 30 to 32 per liter. Thats why supply of any raw material is affect by cooperative/government and Ice-cream industry is largely depending on basic raw material milk.

If the cost of raw material like milk, sugar, custard powder and dry fruits increase then also increase the cost of ice cream. Increasing cost of labour: They have part time or full time labours. Full time workers charged at higher cost, where part time at lower cost. Generally they use full time workers but in summer time when demand is high, they hired part time workers also. So the total cost of the labour affect to the cost of ice cream. Increasing cost of inputs: The cost of inputs such as electricity or power, rent of storage, freezing charges, transportation cost is

It also facilitates the qualitative & quantitative production. No use of dispensers: The local ice cream parlour has in use of dispencers.Like dairy they use dispensers in delivery, in case of ice cream they are not use such type of modern technology. Age-old style of serving ice cream in bowl: Many ice cream parlour serve ice cream in the bowls, which is very age-old style. Because of that cleanliness is missing,

If marketers want to know factors affecting any industry or tobacco industry, these 5 elements will helpful. Whether competition level is high, moderate, low can know with these elements. Five force analyses were given by father of strategies, Michel polter. Here, we can use 5 elements for the purpose of study of tobacco industry.

[1] THREAT OF NEW ENTRANCE:It refers to how easily one industry can enter into Icecream industry. There are various rules that any industry should have to follow for entering into this segment. Government policy: In ice-cream industry there is a no need to take license for manufacturing ice-cream. They have to just inform to DIC at Delhi. They have to take the permission of pollution control board and take the order of MMPO (marketing milk processing order). Monopoly: Monopoly means industry having no competition. This is very rare situation.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 111

Capital requirement: when any companies want to enter into any industry, how much capital will require that industry need to find out. Higher the requirement of capital, lesser industry will interest to enter. Same thing is also applicable to Icecream.

Any firm wants to enter in ice cream industry requires hugs capital. Capital for investing in manufacturing machinery of ice cream. Capital require for keeping inventory at manufacturing place and at the retail out let.
Product differentiation: - whether industry having different kind of products is there or not. Companies who want to enter into Ice-cream industry require having different kind of products offer to customers.
(1) Brand image: Janta and Farki both are almost 50 years old. So for any new entrants to build strong image is very difficult. (2)Customer loyalty:As Janta and Farki are very old brand and very well establishment so customers loyalty taua that brand is more. So it is difficult to new enter to get loyal customers. (3)Product attributes:Generally individual customer prefer the ice cream of Patel, Janta & Farki b but in occasion they prefer the ice cream of Asharfi in bulk quantity. So overall they may form an entry barrier facing new entrants.

-$apphire GrouP.

Page 112

Economies of scale: - it means larger the production, higher the benefits. Because of attraction of higher production by existed companies, new companies want to enter into Ice-cream industry. There are various types of economies of scale i.e. increasing return to scale, decreasing return to scale, and constant return to scale.

(2)RIVALRY COMPITITORS

AMONG

EXISTING

Number of firms and relative market share:Here we assume that as janta maximum retail out let that is 22 so jantas market share is high in local ice cream as compare to other. Fixed or storage cost:Ex. If demand is increase so there should be increase in supply in the market to manufacture ice cream. The machine is available with minimum capacity of 1000 liter. So demand is increase 500 liter that is 1500 liter so, it has to install the machine of 1000 liter. So fixed cost remains constant and their profit will decrease. Product standardization and switching cost:The price of local ice-cream are stable because they have no offer any discount.All local brands of icecream are using own transportation vehicle for
-$apphire GrouP. Page 113

distribution so any ne transportation vehicle.

should purchase their own

Exit barrier:-While exiting firm, if they want to exit in market then they provide compensation to lab our and they also have emotionally attachment to the firm. Diverse competitors:-Main disadvantages or threats to our firm while entering into particular market because a new firm comes with new strategy and techniques at the time, competitors are aware about them they try to protect their market share.

[3] BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS: Here, companies will decide who having bargaining power customers/buyers and industry. If customer affects price determination, then bargaining power of customer is high and vice versa. Following points will determine whether customer having bargaining power or not. When customers purchase in bulk then they could have problem regarding quality but it is not possible in small purchasing order All these local parlours are in urban area that why customer more literate So, customer know quality, price,
-$apphire GrouP. Page 114

quantity, freshness and smoothness regarding Product. Literate customers have bargananing power. Volume of purchase: - total quantity buyers will purchase is volume of purchase. If purchase in high quantity ice-cream, they having higher affection to bargaining power. II. Importance of product to buyers: - whether buyers require product on frequent bases or not. If any product is important for buyers, then bargaining power of customers is high. III. Switching cost to marketer: - if buyers go to other industry from our industry, how much it affect to business of industry. IV. Extent of buyers information: - if customer is aware about the product information, bargaining power is higher. Extent of buyers information means the level of information which is known by the buyers. V. Ability of buyer for backward integration: any customer of Ice-cream cannot establish their own tobacco industry.
I.

[4] BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS: Reduction or increase in number to any industry.

[5] SUBSTITUTE: I. Extent of substitute: - substitute means present of different products having similar features. Importance of product: - whether product is important to buyers or not.
