Marketing - samsung LED
Samsung, being the market leader in the television industry in India, has decided to launch a new Television brand with some unique features. Before launching the product, however, it is important for the company to understand the macro environment carefully, the current status and the future direction.
Demographic Environment –
It is important for the company to analyze India as the potential market for launching new brand of television. With a population of over one billion, is the second largest market in the world.
Population Growth – Higher the growth rate, higher is the possibility of increase in demand of the products. In Indian context, the growth rate is very high, in fact, India is poised to overtake China in population and reach the distinction of being largest national market in the world
Population Age mix – Being a product which is used by people of all age groups, population age mix doesn’t give an appropriate idea about the market potential, however, the demographic profile (median age) of India is 25.9 years, therefore, most of the people lying in the earning age group, it shows greater potential of for purchase and acceptance of the product.
Household Patterns - The decline of the joint family and the corresponding increase in the nuclear families has serious implication for the marketers. Greater the number of nuclear families in the market, greater will be the demand for the product.
Inferences –
1) India, having the second largest population in the world, forms a great potential market for a company which is the market leader in television industry at present.
2) High potential for the acceptance of the product for the median age is around 25 years, and people are ready to experiment and accept new products at this age.
3) Large number of households implying greater potential demand.
Socio Cultural environment Being the leader in the television industry, Samsung must analyze the market potential by understanding the social

    LG first attempted to enter India during early 1990s floundered as a result of difficulties encountered mainly working with the local importers. The company’s fault was that it did precisely what other white goods brands were doing such as some half-hearted advertising and pushing the products only when the consumer entered the store. But, it again entered the market in January, 1997 after the Indian Government’s light for establishing state-of-the-art white goods factory in Greater Noida and it was named as LG Electronics India Private Ltd. . Low brand awareness among consumers was another challenge for LG in India. Secondly, it had to take care of high levels of import duty, the high levels of competition from the local players and other MNCs, and the sensitivity of Indian consumers towards pricing issues.The company overcame all challenges by using innovative marketing strategies, specifically planned for Indian markets. In order to develop a stronger connect with the Indian audience it initiated a close tie-up with cricket that included signing on leading Indian cricketers and launching cricket games on its television models. It was recognized as the first major MNC that forged very strong tie-ups with cricket by sponsoring the World Cups in the year 1999 and 2003. It focused on products which took care of the health of the Indian consumers only with launches like “Golden Eye” colour television, ACs using the “Health Air System” and the microwave ovens with “Health Wave system” etc. They also came up with localized products like CTVs which had Hindi and regional language menus as options. For the price conscious customers it introduced low priced “Cineplus” and “Sampoorna” range for the rural markets. This shows that how LG became successful global brand in the Indian market the second time.…

    Sony, a multinational corporation based in Tokyo, Japan, stepped into India in early 1995, in the post­ Iiberalisation period. Within a couple of months in the same year, it set up its manufacturing unit. The company makes its presence felt in India through Sony Entertain Television, Sony Music and Sony India. While the first two are comfortably placed in their niche markets, it is the third which is expected to bring in all those exciting Sony digital products. Although the government has cleared its plans to manufacture its various products, it has not been smooth sailing for Sony India. Sony India is facing some major problems, one of which is the emergence of a grey market for its brands. While it is targeting its sales around Rs 1050 crores by the turn of the century, it has to have a better understanding of India's economic, social and political environment. Sony India would like to develop itselfas its parent company developed its business units in United States (New York), Europe (Cologne), and Asia (Singapore). Since it is a multinational company manufacturing multi-products, it has a challenging task.…

    It is professed as a brand for the Indian middle class — no glamour, no frills, simple, reliable and hassle-free. However, in the high-end products market, Videocon was way behind LG and Samsung. For example, it does well in the conventional CTV category but not in the LCD class. Again, same thing with air conditioning – though its window air-conditioner category was doing well, split air-conditioner category was lagging and not much scope. Videocon is the only brand in India to have always maintained rationality and spontaneity in its business practices as it believes that it has to constantly evolve to fulfill what the end consumer wishes. It is in steady ascent to be in the top amongst the global consumer durable corporations. Videocon unlike other global business corporation is not afraid to think out of the box and try something…
