While few MNCs are consolidating their presence in India, new players are planning to enter the market. Indian market is all set to witness an interesting competition between domestic companies and MNCs, as they try to increase their marketshare.

ndia is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, with a nine per cent GDP growth. In the current recession period (2009-10), the government is projecting 6-7 per cent GDP growth. The country is consuming coatings at a rate well above the GDP growth rate. The increase in volume has been 12-14 per cent. The scenario is attracting a number of new entrants. A few multinationals also include the list. Akzo (through the acquisition of ICI) and Sherwin Williams (through the acquisition of Nitco) have recently strengthened their positions in the decorative segments; while Jotun and Nippon Paints have enhanced their presence in the industrial segments. Recently, Nippon has been repositioning itself in the decorative segment. A number of raw material suppliers such as Rohm and Haas, BASF, Eastman and Dow are also opening shop and setting up distribution & manufacturing facilities to take advantage of the opportunities. India is now open to foreign competition in most key industries, making it highly attractive to MNCs, which appear

increasingly aggressive and long-term in their investment time horizons in this market. China and India account for more than two-thirds of all new research and development (R&D) centres established by MNCs in recent years. Their total incoming capital investment into China and India combined is high compared to the amount flowing into other emerging economies. What will be the ranks of the world’s leading MNCs in the paints & coatings industry in 25-50 years

    Since they have access to vast financial resources and capital on favorable terms, the Tata Group could use their financial advantage to collect information which would allow them to better understand the needs of the foreign markets.

    India has the second largest population by country in the entire world. The population is estimated at 1.22 billion as of July of 2013 ( (The World Factbook, 2013). India, with its expanding economy, represents a great opportunity for foreign investors. However, there are numerous hurdles for any MNC to overcome if they want to succeed in India. India has difficult trade policies, rules, and regulations, and the use of a foreign brand name is prohibited in India (Ulitin, 2013). Additionally, because of Pepsico’s failure to live up to some of its promises to improve the economy as part of it being allowed to conduct business in India, Pepsico and other MNCs developed a reputation as organizations that cannot be trusted (Pepsi 's entry into India, 2009). Pepsico and Coca-Cola were well aware of the challenges present when attempting to enter emerging markets, and they enjoyed several years of increased market share and increased revenues prior to 2003.…

    Elements of AP’s Distribution Strategy AP bypassed the bulk buyer segment and went to individual consumers of paints. AP went slow on urban areas and concentrated on semi-urban and rural areas. AP went retail. AP went in for an open-door dealer policy. AP voted for nationwide marketing / distribution AP BYPASS THE BULK BUYER SEGMENT AND GOES TO INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS Bulk buyer segment was the major segment of the paint business in the earlier days and any paint company needed a share of this major segment for sheer survival. Though, this segment was dominated totally by foreign companies and their wholesale distributors, a new entrant to the business like AP would normally have rushed to this segment and tried to garner a share of it. AP, however, had a totally different game plan. Seeing that this segment was not a growth segment, though it was certainly the major segment at that point of time, AP decided to ignore this segment for the present and go to individual consumers. And that was a crucial decision. It influenced every subsequent decision AP took in the realm of distribution. Over time, AP proved to the paint industry that there existed a large and bottomless segment in the paint business of India, outside the bulk buyer segment, comprising of individual consumers. AP went slow on urban areas and concentrated on semi-urban and rural areas. Along with the decision to go to individual consumer segment leaving aside the bulk buyer segment, AP also decided that within the individual consumer segment, semi-urban and rural areas would constitute AP’s priority market.APclearly saw that a large market for paints was emerging in the semi-urban and rural areas, and felt it wise to tap this market. AP found it difficult to attract the wholesalers in the cities to deal in its products. It had to necessarily turn to the semi-urban and rural areas for support. AP wisely decided against committing all its resources on a head on collision…

    Overview of Paint Industry

    • 1650 Words
    • 7 Pages

    * 3. 1. OVERVIEW OF THE PAINTS INDUSTRY • The Indian paints industry is currently placed at Rs. 85.0 billion and has been showing consistent double-digit growth from 1991. The organized sector consists of 65-70% whereas the unorganized sector still controls a large portion of 30-35%. • The growth of the domestic paint industry is attributed to the boom in the housing sector and the strong growth in the automobile sector. The automobile sector has done well over past 10-years with an average growth of 7-8%. The auto sector is likely to grow at 8-10% due to healthy growth in 2- wheeler and car segments. However, the volume growth in the paint industry may not be in line with the auto sector growth, as the quantity of paint per vehicle is declining over a period, due to continuous innovations. • Around 70% of the domestic paint industry revenues come from the decorative segment, whereas the industrial segment constitutes around 30%. In FY05, the manufacturing sector has shown good activity with new projects in roads, ports and industrial segments. • The Indian paint industry has a huge potential, as the per capita consumption of paint in India is 800-900 grams compared to 15-25 kg in the developed countries. The domestic paint industry is poised for good growth in the coming years. • The Indian paint industry is governed by 4 major players and is largely dependent on the crude oil prices as most of the raw materials are derived from crude oil. The prices of derivatives of crude oil rose more than crude oil due to the lag effect. Despite the sharp rise in the crude oil prices in FY05, the industry has reported good growth. • The Indian paint industry has grown at CAGR of 10% or 1.5-2.0x GDP growth. With the expected 7-8% GDP growth in FY06, the industry is likely to grow at 10.5-12.0%. • The decorative segment is likely to do better than the industrial segment. The decorative segment is likely to grow at 12% whereas the industrial segment is expected to grow by 8…
