SOAP & DETERGENT INDUSTRY

The Indian Detergent Market

The Indian fabric wash products market was a highly fragmented one. There was a sizeable

unorganized sector. Of the 23 lakh-tonne market, laundry soaps and bars made from vegetable

oils accounted for around seven lakh tonnes with synthetic detergents making up the rest.

Washing powders were categorized into four segments - economy (selling at less than Rs.25 per

kg), mid-priced (Rs.25 - Rs. 90 per kg), premium (Rs. 90 - Rs. 120 per kg) and compact (selling

at over Rs. 120 per kg). The compact, premium and medium priced segments together accounted

for 20% of the volume share and 35% of the value share. The economy segment made up the

remaining lion's share of the market. The fabric wash industry in India was characterized by low

per capita consumption, especially in rural markets. The major players in the Indian detergent

market were HLL, P&G, Nirma and Henkel (through its joint venture with SPIC, a leading

petrochemical company based in the south Indian city of Chennai).

Evolution of the Indian detergent market

The first companies to manufacture detergents in India were HLL and Swastik. HLL test

marketed Surf between 1956 and 1958 and began manufacturing it from 1959. Swastik launched

Det, a white detergent powder, in 1957.

By 1960, Det had made rapid inroads in eastern India. Surf, a blue detergent powder,

became the national market leader with dominant positions in the west, north and south.

Page 7

Page 8: Ghari(Summers)

In the early 1960s, the total volume of detergents manufactured in India grew from around 1600

tonnes to 8000 tonnes. HLL dominated the market with a share of almost 70 % compared to

Det's 25%. In 1966, another player entered the fray. Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO)2

launched its detergent powder 'Magic'.

In 1973, TOMCO introduced 'Tata's Tej' in the low-priced segment. TOMCO unveiled another

economy detergent powder called OK in 1977.

Detergent Industry in India

• Market of US $1.5 Billion and grew at 3 - 5% in value in 2005

• Few dominant players and many unorganized players

• Price is an important consideration to the consumer

• Price reduction seems to have bottomed out in 2005

• Innovations in products and distribution strategy are being the focus to grab market share

Definition of Detergent

Definition: Detergents are the main component of any laundry jobs. They work well in a large

variety of water temperatures and types. Most detergents today contain enzymes. Detergents can

be found in both powder and liquid concentrations. Detergents can also be found in heavy duty

formulas that can be especially effective with food, grease, and oil stains.

The outlook for the Footwear & Leather Industry in India is positive. With a

marginal share of 2.44 percent in global trade worth US$ 97.606 billion in

Footwear & Leather Industry, India has a significant potential for higher share,

highlighted the Report on the Sectoral Analysis of the Footwear & Leather Industry in India

titled "The Indian Footwear & Leather Industry: Key Challenges & Opportunities" released by

Confederation Indian Industry (CII) Northern Region.

Mr Adesh Gupta, Chairman, CII Northern Region, while releasing the Report, urged

Government to treat Footwear and Leather industry at par with Apparel industry to generate

large scale employment and to achieve an estimated target of 12 bn $ (7bn $ export + 5 bn $

domestic) trade by the year 2012.

The Report highlights that India is a noticeable player in the world in the Footwear & Leather

market with its exports growing at 8 percent CAGR.

Multinational companies are looking at India; some of them have already entered India in

different ways. The Government is keen to support industry modernisation and help double

exports by 2010.

However, a heavy dose of investment in manufacturing segment and training facilities is required

to build up a large number of skilled workers and artisans.

Further, to sustain the growth trajectory in the sector, the Report recommends a purposeful

Page 12

Page 13: Ghari(Summers)

13

review of policies to rejuvenate Indian Footwear & Leather Industry.

The specificrecommendations include; recognising Footwear industry at par with the Apparel

Industry, substantial levels of investment in terms of modern machines and rationalisation of

taxes on machinery and inputs, encouraging investment opportunities including FDI, removal of

excise on all those component items that are covered under DFIS (allowing duty free imports of

3 percent of FOB to exporters) policy approach to help build strong country brands in footwear,

strengthening of infrastructure for skilled manpower, design and testing needs and to address raw

material issues

RETAIL INDUSTRY

Retailing in India

Retailing is one of the pillars of the economy in India and accounts for 35% of GDP.[1]

The retail industry is divided into organised and unorganised sectors. Over 12 million outlets

operate in the country and only 4% of them being larger than 500 sq ft (46 m2) in size. Organised

retailing refers to trading activities undertaken by licensed retailers, that is, those who are

registered for sales tax, income tax, etc. These include the corporate-backed hypermarkets and

retail chains, and also the privately owned large retail businesses. Unorganised retailing, on the

other hand, refers to the traditional formats of low-cost retailing, for example, the local kiana

shops, owner manned general stores, paan/beedi shops, convenience stores, hand cart and

pavement vendors, etc. [2]

Most Indian shopping takes place in open markets and millions of independent grocery shops

called kirana. Organized retail such supermarkets accounts for just 4% of the market as of 2008.

[3] Regulations prevent most foreign investment in retailing. Moreover, over thirty regulations

such as "signboard licences" and "anti-hoarding measures" may have to be complied before a

store can open doors. There are taxes for moving goods to states, from states, and even within

states.[3]

The Indian Retail Market

Indian market has high complexities in terms of a wide geographic spread and distinct consumer

preferences varying by each region necessitating a need for localization even within the

geographic zones. India has highest number of outlets per person (7 per thousand) Indian retail

space per capita at 2 sq ft (0.19 m2)/ person is lowest in the world Indian retail density of 6

percent is highest in the world. (9) 1.8 million households in India have an annual income of

over 45 lakh(10) Delving further into consumer buying habits, purchase decisions can be

separated into two categories: status-oriented and indulgence-oriented. CTVs/LCDs,

refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, microwave ovens and DVD players fall in the

status category. Indulgence-oriented products include plasma TVs, state-of-the-art home theatre

systems, iPods, high-end digital cameras, camcorders, and gaming consoles. Consumers in the

status category buy because they need to maintain a position in their social group. Indulgence-

oriented buying happens with those who want to enjoy life better with products that meet their

requirements. When it comes to the festival shopping season, it is primarily the status-oriented

segment that contributes largely to the retailer’s cash register. (11)

The break-up of organized retailing sales into various product categories (12)

Books, Music & Gifts: 3% Mobile Handsets: 3% Clothing & Textile: 39% Food & Grocery:

11% Consumer Durables: 9% Footwear: 9% Furniture & Furnishings: 8% Catering Services: 7%

Jewellery & Watches: 7% Others: 4%

Major Indian Retailers

Indian apparel retailers are increasing their brand presence overseas, particularly in developed

markets. While most have identified a gap in countries in West Asia and Africa, some majors are

also looking at the US and Europe. Arvind Brands, Madura Garments, Spykar Lifestyle and

Royal Classic Polo are busy chalking out foreign expansion plans through the distribution route

and standalone stores as well. Another denim wear brand, Spykar, which is now moving towards

becoming a casualwear lifestyle brand, has launched its store in Melbourne recently. It plans to

open three stores in London by 2008-end. (13)

The low-intensity entry of the diversified Mahindra Group into retail is unique because it plans

to focus on lifestyle products. The Mahindra group is the fourth large Indian business group to

enter the business of retail after Reliance Industries Ltd, the Aditya Birla Group, and Bharti

Enterprises Ltd. The other three groups are focusing either on perishables and groceries, or a

range of products, or both. (14)

finished leather. Pursuant to the Scheme of amalgamation becoming effective, the name of

the company has been changed to “Ghari Industries Private Limited”. The activities of the

merged entity are now broadly into two segments, the marketing and trading of Ghari

detergent cake/detergent powder and manufacturing and marketing of leather shoes and

finished leather.

detergents, toilet soaps and other FMCG products.

Poonam Developers & Infrastructure India Private Limited -This company is involved in the

Group Vision & Outlook

Ghari group has diversified into other businesses with firm foot in leather, wind energy,

construction, and toilet soap.

With a view to backward integration of raw materials (Alpha olefin suffocates, optical

brightener and integrated packaging unit for captive consumption) the group has

allocated rupees 50 crores for this purpose and has managed its funding with its internal

accruals and borrowing from financial institution. Rupees 35 crores approx. has already

been invested.

The group with its commitment to quality control to utmost level has setup a fleet of

tankers and trailers to stop adulteration and to manage its logistics more efficiently and

cost effectively.

To avoid double taxation and transport cost group has established their production units

and depots in different locations across the country.

SOAP AND DETERGENT DIVISION

We have a very strong market presence in major parts of India, however some parts had been

left untouched hitherto. Steps are being taken to strengthen and increase our already strong

dealer network of 2500 dealers, so that we are able to penetrate those markets where we have

little or no presence. By the next two to three years, we hope to have a significant share of the

Indian Detergent market. Initiatives are being taken to set up modernized units in order to

meet the growing consumer demand for our products and fulfill the age-old adage of ‘value

for money’.

Last but not the least, it is the dedicated and loyal workforce of the group which has helped

the Ghari group to reach such a leading market position. We try to create a work environment

which is employee friendly & soothing. This approach has been of great value in the retention

of our employees, and is evident from a very low employee turnover rate of less than 1%.

The ultimate destination of the group is healthy industrial and economic growth and to honour

its commitments towards the nation & society.
