INTRODUCTION
1
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a very important person to a
marketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase, from
where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successful marketer, he
must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know the time and the
quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he may store the goods or
provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Gone are the days when the
concept of market was let the buyer’s beware or when the market was mainly the seller’s
market. Now the whole concept of consumer’s sovereignty prevails. The manufacturers
produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. In this sense, “consumer is the
supreme in the market”.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national or
international. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect the demand
for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the production; they
effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and success of some
industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.
Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences, particularly economics. It
assumes a real or imagined "choice" between alternatives and the possibility of rank ordering
of these alternatives, based on happiness, satisfaction, gratification, enjoyment, utility they
provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source of motivation. In cognitive sciences,
individual preferences enable choice of objectives/goals.

CONSUMPTION OF CHOCOLATES IN INDIA
Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around 160
gems in the urban areas, compared to 8-10kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it is
even lower. Chocolates in India are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. A
strong volume growth was witnessed in the early 90’s when Cadbury repositioned chocolates
from children to adult consumption. The biggest opportunity is likely to stem from increasing
the consumer base. Leading player like Cadbury has been attempting to do this by value for
money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.
The Quakers
The Quakers were, and still are, a pacifist religious sect, an offshoot of the puritans of
English civil war and pilgrim fathers fame and a history of chocolate would not be complete
without mentioning their part in it. Some of the most famous names in chocolate were
Quakers, who for centuries held a virtual monopoly of chocolate making in the English
speaking world – fry, Cadbury and row tree are probably the best known.
Its probably before the time of the English civil war between parliament and king Charles 1st
that the Quaker’s who evolved from the puritans, first began their historic association with
chocolate. Because of their pacifist religion, they were prohibited from many normal business
activities, so as an industrious people with a strong belief in the work ethic (like the puritans),
they involved themselves in food related businesses and did very well. Baking was a common
occupation for them because bread was regarded as the biblical “staff of life”, and bakers in
England were the first to add chocolate to cakes so it would be a natural progression for them
to start making pure chocolate. They were also heavily involved in breakfast cereals but
that’s another story.
3
What is certain is that the fry, row tree and Cadbury families in England among others, began
chocolate making and in fact Joseph fry of fry &sons (founded 1728 in Bristol, England) is
credited with producing and selling the world’s first chocolate bar. Fry’s have now all but
disappeared (taken over by Cadbury) and row tree have merged Swiss company nestle, to
form the largest chocolate manufacturer in the world. Cadbury have stayed with chocolate
production and are now, if not quite the largest, probably one of the best-known chocolate
makers in the world.
CADBURY
Milk chocolate for eating was first made by Cadbury in 1897 by adding milk powder John
paste to the dark chocolate recipe of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar. By today's standards
this chocolate was not particularly good: it was coarse and dry and not sweet or milky enough
for public tastes.
There was a great deal of competition from continental manufacturers, not only the
French,but also the Swiss, renowned for their milk chocolate.
Led by George Cadbury Junior, the Bournville experts set out to meet the challenge. A
considerable amount of time and money was spent on research and on new plant designed to
produce the chocolate in larger quantities.
A recipe was formulated incorporating fresh milk, and production processes were developed
to produce a milk chocolate 'not merely as good as, but better than' the imported milk
chocolate'.
Four years of hard work were invested in the project and in 1905 what was to be Cadbury's
top selling brand was launched.
Three names were considered: Jersey, Highland Milk and Dairy Maid. Dairy Maid became
Dairy Milk, and Cadbury's Dairy Milk, with its unique flavor and smooth creamy texture,
was ready to challenge the Swiss domination of the milk chocolate market.
4
By 1913 Dairy Milk had become the company's bestselling line and in the mid twenties
Cadbury's Dairy Milk gained its status as the brand leader, a position it has held ever since.
Cadbury began its operations in 1948 by importing chocolates and then re-packing them
before distribution in the Indian market. After 59 years of existence, it today has five
company-owned manufacturing facilities at Thane, Induri (Pune) and Malanpur (Gwalior),
Bangalore and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) and 4 sales offices (New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata
and Chennai). The corporate office is in Mumbai.
Currently Cadbury India operates in three sectors viz. Chocolate Confectionery, Milk Food
Drinks and in the Candy category.
With annual revenues of approximately $50 billion, the combined company is the world's
second largest food company, making delicious products for billions of consumers in more
than 160 countries. We employ approximately 140,000 people and have operations in more
than 70 countries
.
In the Chocolate Confectionery business, Cadbury has maintained its undisputed leadership
over the years. Some of the key brands are Cadbury Dairy Milk, 5 Star, Perk, Éclairs and
Celebrations. Cadbury enjoys a value market share of over 70% - the highest Cadbury brand
share in the world! Their flagship brand Cadbury Dairy Milk is considered the "gold
standard" for chocolates in India. The pure taste of CDM defines the chocolate taste for the
Indian consumer.
In the Milk Food drinks segment their main product is Bournvita - the leading Malted Food
Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is the
undisputed leader.
5
The Cadbury India Brand Strategy has received consistent support through simple but
imaginative extensions to product categories and distribution. A good example of this is the
development of Bytes. Crispy wafers filled with coca cream in the form of a bagged snack,
Bytes is positioned as "The new concept of sweet snacking". It delivers the taste of chocolate
in the form of a light snack, and thus heralds the entry of Cadbury India into the growing
bagged Snack Market, which has been dominated until now by Salted Bagged Snack Brands.
Bytes were first launched in South India in 2003.
Since 1965 Cadbury has also pioneered the development of cocoa cultivation in India. For
over two decades, it has worked with the Kerala Agriculture University to undertake cocoa
research and released clones, hybrids that improve the cocoa yield.
Today, Cadbury is poised in its leap towards quantum growth and new categories of business,
namely gums, mints, snacking and gifting. It is a part of the Cadbury Schweppes Group,
world's No.1 Confectionery Company.
Cadbury is the world's largest confectionery company and have a strong regional presence in
beverages in the Americas and Australia.
With origins stretching back over 200 years, today their products - which include brands such
as Cadbury, Schweppes, Halls, Trident, Dr Pepper, Snapple, Trevor, Dentyne, Bubblicious
and Bassett - are enjoyed in almost every country around the world. We employ around 60,
00 people.
Their heritage starts back in 1783 when Jacob Schweppes perfected his process for
6
manufacturing carbonated mineral water in Geneva, Switzerland. And in 1824 John Cadbury
opened in Birmingham selling cocoa and chocolate.
These two great household names merged in 1969 to form Cadbury Schweppes plc. Since
then they have expanded their business throughout the world by a programmed of organic
and acquisition led growth.
Concentrating on their core brands in beverages and confectionery since the 1980s, they have
strengthened their portfolio through almost fifty acquisitions, including brand icons such as
Mott's, Canada Dry, Halls, Trident, Dentyne, Bubblicious, Trevor, Bassett, Dr Pepper, 7 up
and Snapple.
More recently, the 'Kuch Meetha Ho Jaaye' campaign associated Cadbury Dairy Milk with
celebratory occasions and the phrase "Pappu Pass Ho Gaya" became part of street language.
It has been adopted by consumers and today is used extensively to express joy in a moment
of achievement / success
CADBURY BYTES
Cadbury Bytes was launched in 2004-05 as Cadbury's foray into the rapidly growing
packaged snack market.
Cadbury Bytes is a one of a kind snack, in that it is sweet and not salty, as compared to most
of the other snacks. It's a bite sized snack with a crunchy wafer and rich Choco cream filling.
There are three variants of Bytes available in the market - Regular, Coffee and Strawberry, at
two price points- Rs 5 and Rs 10.
7
Cadbury Bytes is targeted at teens as they are the largest consuming segment of packaged
snack category. They are also the gateway to the family, especially for a new sweet snack.
With Bytes, Cadbury has entered into a new category with well entrenched and established
brands. It is an exciting challenge for us to take the brand forward and make it a stupendous
success.
Cadbury Bytes is positioned as the 'only sweet snack' in the world of salty snacks. The
proposition we have arrived at is "Snacking ka meetha fund", where we take a pot-shot at
other snacks, by saying `Her snack nankeen nahi hota'. The product is all about breaking a
cliché and teenagers identify with breaking stereotypes. The new commercials- 'Tommy' and
'Villain', talk about breaking the stereotype.
CADBURY BOURNVITA
Cadbury was incorporated in India on July 19th, 1948 as a private limited company under the
name of Cadbury-Fry (India). Cadbury Bournvita was launched during the same year.
It is among the oldest brands in the Malt Based Food / Malt Food category with a rich
heritage and has always been known to provide the best nutrition to aid growth and all round
development.
Throughout it's history, Cadbury Bournvita has continuously re-invented itself in terms of
product, packaging, promotion & distribution. The Cadbury lineage and rich brand heritage
has helped the brand maintain its leadership position and image over the last 50 years.
In the early '90s all brands in the category provided purely physical benefits like nourishment,
energy and growth. It was at this time that Bournvita decided to raise the bar by promising
physical and mental benefits. This resulted in the famous Tan Ki Shakti, Man Ki Shakti
Campaign which became an anthem for the brand.
In the new millennium, keeping pace with the evolving mindsets of the new age consumers,
Cadbury Bournvita is about arming consumers with Confidence to take on physical and
8
mental challenges that nobody else can, resulting in one of the most successful advertising
campaigns which is based on 'Real Achievers who have grown up on Bournvita'.

DAIRY MILK
The story of Cadbury Dairy Milk started way back in 1905 a, U.K., but the journey
with chocolate lovers in India began in 1948.
The variants Fruit & Nut, Crackle and Roast Almond, combine the classic taste of Cadbury
Dairy Milk with a variety of ingredients and are very popular amongst teens & adults.
Cadbury Dairy Milk has exciting products on offer - Cadbury Dairy Milk Wowie, chocolate
with Disney characters embossed in it, and Cadbury Dairy Milk 2 in 1, a delightful
combination of milk chocolate and white chocolate. Giving consumers an exciting reason to
keep coming back into the fun filled world of Cadbury.
Today, Cadbury Dairy Milk alone holds 30% value share of the Indian chocolate market.
5 STAR
The second largest after Cadbury Dairy Milk with a market share of 14%, Cadbury 5 Star
moves from strength to strength every year by increasing its user base.
Launched in 1969 as a bar of chocolate that was hard outside with soft caramel nougat inside,
Cadbury 5 Star has re-invented itself over the years to keep satisfying the consumers taste for
a high quality & different chocolate eating experience.
One of the key properties that Cadbury 5 Star was associated with was its classic Gold color.
And through the passage of time, this was one property that both, the brand and the consumer
stuck to as a valuable association.
More recently, to give consumers another reason to come into the Cadbury 5 Star fold,
Cadbury 5 Star Crunchy was launched. The same delicious Cadbury 5 Star was now available
with a dash of rice crispiest.
10
PERK
Cadbury launched Perk in 1996. With its light chocolate and wafer construct, Cadbury Perk
targeted the casual snacking space that was dominated primarily by chips & wafers.
With the rise of more value-for-money brands in the wafer chocolate segment, Cadbury
Perk unveiled two new offerings - Perk XL and XXL. In 2004, with an added dose of 'Real
Cadbury Dairy Milk' and an 'improved wafer', Perk became even more irresistible

CHAPTER 5
CONCLUSION
28
A survey of the people has been conducted to know the liking pattern of the Cadbury. It is
observed that overall people like to eat Cadbury brand rather than any other. It is concluded
that mostly people preferred Dairy Milk of Cadbury due to its flavor/taste, quality and image
and due to its hard form.
It is thus concluded from the facts collected that mostly people refer to buy big pack of their
favorite chocolate, and sometimes some of them go for small and family pack.
The cadbury’s, India’s number one chocolate, is able to share their market insights based
upon unparallel of chocolate experience.
The merge in 1969 with schweppes and the subsequent development of the business have led
to cadbury schweppes taking the lead in both, the confectionery and soft drink market and
becoming a major force in the international market. Cadbury schweppes today manufactures
product in 60 countries and trades in staggering 120.
This project is a sincere efforts to study the buying behaviour of consumers when they buy
chocolate. A descriptive research procedure had been applied to come to the conclusions of
the project.
A detailed questionnaire had been prepared and the respones of the samples had been
collected for the analysis. The project later ended with the analysis of the responses keeping
