MARKET SHARE
Chocolate market is estimated to be around 1700 to 1900 crores growing at 18-20% per annum and is dominated mainly by listed players Cadbury India and Nestle India.
Cadbury is the market leader with 72% market share. Cadbury dominated the market .The company's various brands such as Dairy Milk, Five Star, clairs, Gems and Perk are leaders in their segments. Until the middle of 90s, Cadbury had a monopoly among the chocolate manufacturers. Competition in this segment is going to increase as big international heavyweights like Hershey's and Mars are entering the Indian market. Nestle India's chocolate portfolio commands a total market share of 24%.
Then Nestle made an entry by introducing its famous brands like Kit Kat , Munch and Milky Bar in the process ending Cadburys monopoly.
COMPETATIVE ASSESMENT
Food feuds keep share markets as well as consumers perennially interested. At first, it was the cola giants that attacked each other using their ad campaigns as daggers, and now the battlefield is fast becoming accustomed to the chocolate giants Cadbury and Nestle. These are both global brands which have been competing neck and neck over market share for decades. However, their approach to advertising was never as direct as it has become in the last three years. Taking a lesson out of the cola giants battlebook, Nestle is waging nothing short of a public war against Cadbury through its ad campaigns. Cadbury has, without a doubt, always been seen as the market leader. It leads the pack in the Rs. 4,000-crore branded chocolate sector in India Even though several brands such as Amul and Campco tried to break into the market, none of them succeeded in shaking Cadburys grip Nestle is the only real competition Cadbury has had in its long run as market leader.
Direct Competition
Cadbury captures 70% of market share In Cadbury Dairy Milk accounts for maximum share Five star come at 2nd place
Nestle captures 25% of market share. In Nestle Munch accounts for maximum share Kit Kat comes at 2nd place
INDIRECT COMPETITION
Since the target audience includes, consumers of not only chocolates but also of biscuits and confectionary products like toffees, candies etc have proved to be indirect competition (however would be limited since we are targeting small segment)
Insight: Consumers are still fairly basic & in todays world of complicated lives we all like to witness some free action sequences. Going by its popularity, its clear that consumers enjoy collisions, thrive on simple skirmishes & thus absolutely love the war between brands or celebrities. Goof In The Spoof: The easiest thing to do is to criticize intelligent ideas (seriously). But Munchs attempt has fallen flat & there isnt really much to counter the Cadbury campaign, which has proved to be clutter breaking. So before taking head on Punga with CDMs high-voltage campaign, Munch should have considered that spoofs are about puncturing any pretence, but then the brand character has to be such. Thats certainly not the case with Nestl Munch. Unlike Sprite, its not in the brands natural scheme. In other words, this ad war is unlikely to go on forever. Freshness: The Pehli Tarikh campaign is an easy prey, having focused too sharply on the pay day insight makes it vulnerable. But Munch has wasted a big opportunity to counter it by producing a sloppy spoof. The Munch ad, in this case, looks like a poor mimic of something that stands strong already. Actually the ad language is very edgy-buzzy that excites the youth but the script is poor & the cast even poorer. How could this ad dent the buzz that the Cadbury campaign created amongst consumers? Verdict: Spoofing, if not executed well, runs the risk of reminding the consumer of the original brand. In this case, it seems to have done just that. But spoofs do make brands come alive which havent been able to make much of an impact; they make the whole category much more alive & bring more consumers to it. This advert has certainly livened up the chocolate category.
