EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Indian beer industry is growing rapidly. The large chunk of the demand driven by young

generation of India. At this point of time knowing about the Usage pattern and Attitude of beer

consumers is very important to be successful for a company.

In India beer has become a social drink. Indians consume alcohol to get kick/high this is the main

reason behind the huge demand for strong beer in India. Beer is the high involvement product,

where people observe difference between the brands. People try different brands before they

stick to one brands. When it comes to beer consumption there is a clear difference between

preferences of younger generation and other age groups. So beer companies should develop

different products for different age group people. Off premise beer consumption is very

dominating in India compared to on premise consumption, beer companies should concentrate

more on retail sales. However with changing life styles and pub culture, on premise sales going

to increase in future. Taste is the most important beer attribute for the consumers while buying a

beer.

Kingfisher has nearly 50% of the market share followed by SABMiller with nearly 25% market

share. Carlsberg and Budweiser are the fast growing brands in India.

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUNG OF THE STUDY

ECONOMIC SCENARIO

Global Economy: Despite tangible signs of recovery in 2014, the global economy remained on a

subdued growth path, growing 3.1% in 2015 against 3.4% in 2014. With a 6.8% growth (against

6.6% in the previous year), the emerging and developing Asian countries were the key

contributors of the global growth, led by India and China.

Indian Economy: Buoyed by positive policy initiatives, India has evolved as one of the fastest

growing emerging market economies in the world. Increased private consumption, led by rising

incomes and declining oil prices, steered the Indian economic growth story during 2015-16 to

7.6% real GDP growth from 7.2% in 2014-15.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

India has a young population, with a median age of 25 years 50% of the 1.2 billion population

are under 25 years of age. 65% are below the age of 35. A favorable demographic divide with

around 270 million in the working age population by 2030 augurs well for the industry. With the

increase in affluence we can see improvement in lifestyles and increasing aspirations leading to

upgrade to higher brands by the customers. As per the data published by the Finance

Commission the annual tax revenues of the State Governments are about 303 lakh crores. Of this

Alcohol beverages industry’s share is close to 106 lakh crores which is more than a third of such

tax revenues of the State Governments.

SEGMENT-WISE AND PRODUCT-WISE PERFORMANCE

Global: The global spirits market comprises vodka, gin, tequila, rum, whisky, brandy, cane,

natural spirits and flavored spirits. While Asia-Pacific is the largest market for alcoholic

products, followed by North America and Europe, the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China)

nations are driving growth in the spirits market. Whisky and tequila are expected to be the fastest

growing spirits category with a compounded growth of 3.8% and 2.9% during the period.

Whisky is expected to overtake vodka to be the second largest spirits category with a total

consumption of 467.4 million cases. Asia (especially China and India) will account for majority

of this growth; North America, Africa, Middle East and other duty free markets are also expected

to drive growth.

India: Indian Alcohol industry is basically comprised of IMFL (Indian made foreign liquor),

beer and country liquor. The chart below demonstrates the volume as well as value wise share of

various segments in the alcohol industry.

Figure 1.1.1. Indian Alcohol Industry Segmentation by Value

Figure 1.1.2. Indian Alcohol Industry Segmentation by Volume

Spirits, led by whisky, is the most popular alcohol, consumed by nearly 88% of alcohol

consumers in India, with beer and wine contributing to the remaining 12% consumption. The

Indian spirits industry is one of the most regulated, with prohibition in force in a few states, sales

being limited in certain states to government approved stores, and drinking prohibited in public

places. Current available data estimates the Indian TBA market at circa ` 40k Crore, with spirits

accounting for approximately 70% market share, beer circa 26%, and ready to drink, wine and

others circa 4%.

In recent years, the industry has witnessed realignment in terms of consolidation and margin

pressure due to rising costs, thereby leading to tapered growth. Despite the slowdown, the

country’s alcohol industry will still be the world’s second fastest growing industry.

INDIAN BEER MARKET:

Though the alcohol industry in India has been dominated by Spirits (IMFL and country liquor)

and Beer comprises about 11% of the total alcohol consumed in India, recent surveys show that

beer is the preferred alcoholic beverage for young Indians and has a bright future. It has

registered robust growth in the last 10 years. From a total industry consumption of about 100

million cases in 2005, the consumption has nearly tripled to 294 million cases in 2016. Two

leading players contribute over 70% of the total industry sales, with kingfisher being the market

leader with a market share of about 50% and sales of 151.5 million cases in FY16.

Beer can be classified on the basis of two points- fermentation process and alcohol content. On

the basis of fermentation process, beer in India can be categorized in to Ale and Lager. Ale:

When the beer is fermented using top-fermenting yeasts. It is called ale. Ales have a slightly

sweet or fruity taste as compared with lager. Lager: When the beer is fermented using bottom

fermenting yeasts for relatively longer duration and at a lower temperature.

On the basis of alcohol content, beer in India can be categorized into Strong and Mild Beers.

Strong beer which has an alcohol content between 6% and 8% dominates the beer market

accounting for over 85% of the total beer consumed in India. The industry has changed to 20%

lager (5% abv) to 80% strong lager (8% abv). The lager sells in on- Premises of Clubs & bars

and Strong sells through off premises mainly and in rustic Bars & Restaurants. The reason for

preference of strong beer is the cost benefit of Intoxication. The Super Premium beer segment

within both the Strong and Mild beer categories has been growing faster than the overall beer

industry and has grown at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of almost 30 per cent

over the last three years. The Indian beer market continues to grow in line with expectations.

Industry volumes grew at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8% during the last

five years. During 2015-16, the Indian beer market grew 4%, to cross 294 million cases.

Figure 1.1.3. Beer Industry Segmentation by Alcohol Concentration

Compared to the global average per capita consumption of about 30 liters, the per capita

consumption in India is about 2 liters. However, the scope for growth in India continues to

remain positive given the climate, young demographics and increasing disposable income.

Kingfisher Strong continues to lead the Indian beer market with a market share of about 40% in

the Strong beer category. Kingfisher Premium continues to grow market share and is the first

choice of mild beer consumers across the country. Geographical wise south Indians consume

more beer than north Indians.

1.2 CONCEPTUAL FRAME WORK:

My main object is to find out the consumption pattern of beer consumers, which can be used to

improve the marketing mix of a beer brand. I segment the sample based on age group &

occupation, to see the effect of these variables on beer consumers. Then I try to find out the

marketing insights from my findings. I will try to see how Carlsberg is performing in each

segment of beer market.

1.3 ABOUT CARLSBERG:

Carlsberg India is a subsidiary brand of Carlsberg Group which is founded in 1847 by J.C.

Jacobsen. It is a Denmark company. The company has two flagship brands known as Carlsberg

and Tuborg. Carlsberg India is number three player in the Indian beer market with 7% market

share.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

8

2.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY

India is a dynamic market which has immense potential with a young, growing population,

increasing disposable incomes and changing social landscape. Indian beer market in growing

rapidly. By studying the consumption pattern and attitudes of consumer, players in the market

can leverage this knowledge to cater the highly changing demand of customer.

2.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

o Increase revenue – The importance of consumer buying behavior lies in the fact, that we

can improve our sales figures when we study the customers. We can alter the way we sell

our products depending on the ways that customers buy them.

o Product portfolio – Continuous observation of consumer behavior can enable you in

finding gaps in your product portfolio, which can in turn help you launch new products to

the ultimate satisfaction of your customers. Samsung is an excellent of a company which

keeps expanding its product portfolio.

o Market trends – As the market trend shifts, a consumer analysis will be the first

indicator of the same. The recent shift towards stronger beer is observed by the likes of

Kingfisher, Carlsberg.

o Segmentation and targeting – Your current customers are a clear indication of who

your future customers are going to be. If my current customers are 50% impulsive, then

the future customers too will be impulsive. Segmentation and targeting becomes easier

when you are observing consumer behavior.

Above are some of the reasons that studying consumer buying behavior is important for any

company. Not only does it contribute to profits, but we can be rest assured that a company which

is in touch with its customers, has a sustainable advantage on its side. Being in touch with

customers is an attitude which should be inculcated even when the company is a startup.

2.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

To understand the buying behavior of consumers and their brand preferences.

o Consumption pattern of beer

o What is the most important factor for consumers while buying beer?

o Consumer Brand preference and perception towards different brands

2.4 DATA COLLECTION

Primary sources: Primary data collection process carried out by asking the

targeted consumers to fill the survey, which had predefined structured

questionnaire.

Secondary sources: The collection of secondary data on liquor was a very

tedious. However, secondary data collected through following sources, Business

Magazines & News Papers, Research papers, etc.

For this project the data collection instrument is the survey method with the help of a structured

questionnaire. Price, Brand, Quality, Taste, Availability are some of the factors to form the

questionnaire. Beer consumption normally differ by the demographic profile of the consumer so

in the survey there will be questions on demographic profile.

2.5. SAMPLE:

Sample size is: 78

Target Group: People who consume beer and who are above 18 years old.

2.6. TOOLS USED FOR ANALYSIS

Microsoft Excel 2013 is the only tool I used to analyze the data

2.7 LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

o The respondents were not very comfortable while revealing their correct usage pattern,

because alcohol is still a Taboo thing in India

o Language Barrier

o Small Sample size

o Respondents were not serious about the survey, so there might be some bias.

As per the above pie chart it is very clear that people drink beer occasionally. Indians normally

drink alcohol to get kick/high, because of this they tend to go for liquor products rather than

beer. This is the biggest reason for people to consume beer less often. However younger

generation (18-25) would like to drink beer over other alcohol products, these typically young

Total sample is 78.

From the above graph, it is evident that after socialization people drink beer to get kick. This is

the main reason behind the huge demand for strong beer in India.

Carlsberg: Carlsberg has two different products to serve to these age groups. First one,

Carlsberg is an all-malt beer, the first in the country, it targets customers at the high end of the

market – Businessmen, Senior Executives and other. The second is Tuborg which is an entry

point, easy drinking innovation with pull-off cap. It targets young adults and is about fun. On the

whole Carlsberg wants position itself as a premium beer brand.

Graph 3.1.4 beer consumption pattern by Occupation

There is no clear pattern between the two occupations we have here in the graph.

Marketing Insight: Because there is no heterogeneity between students and employees beer

companies don’t need to market their products in two different ways.

Graph 3.1.7 Choice of beer based on the occupation

Based on age group, it is clearly evident that age groups 18-25 & 26-35 would like to consume

all kinds of beer, but Strong beer is chosen by more number of people. There are considerable

number of people from age group 26-35 who like to consume light beer. People from 36-45

would like to consume light to mild beer. Based on occupation, People who are employees tend

to go for light beer whereas students tend to go for Strong beer.

Marketing Insight: Beer companies should develop different kind of products for different age

group people, due to the reason different age people have different tastes.

Carlsberg: Indian beer consumers prefer an extra kick, that’s why they go for strong beer. To

cash in on the demand for strong beer Carlsberg launched Tuborg Strong which is big hit in the

market.

Graph 3.1.8 where people prefer to drink beer

It is clear that off premise beer consumption is more than on premise. Off premise includes, at

parties, at own places, on the go. People who spend more on discretionary purchases normally

prefer on premise than off premise, these are the people who consume beer mainly to get

socialized.

Marketing Insight: Place is about putting the right product, at the right price, at the right place,

at the right time. It’s critical then, to evaluate what the ideal locations are to convert potential

customers into consumers.

Carlsberg: Carlsberg concentrates on both segments, as they want to be seen as a premium beer

brand. To create a brand pull at retail liquor shops creating awareness should be the first step,

Carlsberg is very good at it. They use very aggressive surrogate advertising using Carlsberg club

glasses and Tuborg zero which is a non-alcoholic beverage. Then Carlsberg make the people to

try their beer by giving give them samples to taste. To improve on premise sales they do Tuborg

Fun Nights at night clubs, trendy bras and discos.
