Achievements
• Cadbury offers a limited variety of products as opposed to other leading competitive brands, e.g.
Amul and Nestle that offer an array of products like biscuits, dairy products, etc.
• Venture into new segments individually or jointly (food and beverages), introduce their foreign
products in India & target urban areas and developing sectors - by working on availability and
affordability.
• Significant increase in the ‘food & snacks segment’ offerings which means high indirect competition
with low cost local players as well as high brand recognition global players. Also, trends of purchase
may change with the ever-changing taste preference of consumers.
