Kwality Wall’s was launched in 1995 as Hindustan Unilever Ltd ‘s. master brand for
ice creams. With in-depth knowledge of the Indian market and Unilever’s state-of-
the-art technology, Kwality Wall’s has been delivering superior quality products
under its international brands. Hindustan Unilever started by merging 6 existing ice
cream brands in the country and then launched Kwality Wall’s range of ice creams
and frozen desserts.
The needs to satisfy customer for success in any commercial enterprise is very
obvious. The income of all commercial enterprise is derived from the payments
received for the products and services supplied to its customers. If there is no
customer there is no income and there is no business. Then the core activity of any
company is to attract and retain customers. It is therefore no surprise that Peter
Drucker the renowned management Guru, has said, “To satisfy The customers are
the mission and purpose of every business”.
Satisfaction of customer is essential for retention of customer’s and for continuous
sales of the products and services of the company to customers. This establishes the
needs for and the importance of customer satisfaction. The satisfaction of consumers
is different from one to another. Became, each consumer has the different behaviour
in their life. So, the marketer satisfies the consumer, he must very well know the
behavior of consumer.
Ice cream's origins are known to reach back as far as the second century B.C.,
although no specific date of origin nor inventor has been indisputably credited with
its discovery. We know that Alexander the Great enjoyed snow and ice flavored with
honey and nectar. Biblical references also show that King Solomon was fond of iced
drinks during harvesting. During the Roman Empire, Nero Claudius Caesar (A.D.
54-86) frequently sent runners into the mountains for snow, which was then flavored
with fruits and juices. Over a thousand years later, Marco Polo returned to Italy from
the Far East with a recipe that closely resembled what is now called sherbet.
Historians estimate that this recipe evolved into ice cream sometime in the 16 th
century. England seems to have discovered ice cream at the same time, or perhaps
even earlier than the Italians. "Cream Ice," as it was called, appeared regularly at the
table of Charles I during the 17th century. France was introduced to similar frozen
desserts in 1553 by the Italian Catherine de Medici when she became the wife of
Henry II of France. It wasn't until 1660 that ice cream was made available to the
general public. The Sicilian Procopio introduced a recipe blending milk, cream,
butter and eggs at Café Procope, the first café in Paris.
Introduction
The ice cream market growth picked up after de-reservation of the sector in 1997.
Of the total size of Rs 15-16bn, around 30-32% is in the hands of organized sector
valued at Rs 4.9bn, rest all is with the unorganized sector. Among the major players
in this industry Hindustan Unilever has a market share of around 50%, represented
mainly by Kwality Walls brand. Amul with an estimated market share of 35% is
rapidly gaining market share, Vanilla is the player in the national market with 8-9%
of the market share. And lastly Dins haw’s having market share of 3 – 4%.
Production area
In rural areas, kulfis / ice creams made by small / cottage industry are popular. The
market for organized sector is restricted to large metropolitan cities. In small towns
and villages, there are thousands of small players who produce ice- creams / kulfis in
their home backyard and cater to the local market. Almost 40% of the ice creams
sold in the country are consumed in the western region with Mumbai being the main
market, followed by 30% in the north and 20% in the south.
Indian Ice Cream market can be segmented in three different ways, namely on the
basis of flavors; on the basis of stock keeping units / packaging and on the basis of
consumer segments. On the basis of flavors the market today has a number of flavors
like vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, mango, butterscotch a number of fruit flavors, dry
fruit flavors traditional flavors like Kesar- Pista, Kaju- Draksh etc.
The market is totally dominated by Vanilla, Strawberry and chocolate, which
together account for more than 70% of the market followed by butterscotch and other
fruit flavors.

MYTHS REGARDING ICE-CREAMS
Some of us believe that ice cream is a fattening given the product’s soft and creamy
texture. However, fat is only about 5% by volume of Kwality Wall’s Ice Cream.
The role of fat is to give body to the ice cream and to give it a good texture and taste.

CREAM
Most of us assume that ice creams lead to sore throats, cold and phlegm. This is a
myth, and most prevalent in the Indian Sub continent where ice creams were
manufactured by small scale industries, which lacked suitable manufacturing and
distribution infrastructure.
Common cold is caused by viral infection, which has nothing to do with temperature
(as most doctors will also tell us). Science has shown that only ice creams made of
non-pasteurized milk and cream, in unhygienic conditions and sold unwrapped can
cause such problems. This is true for only cheap, branded / unbranded ice creams
often sold outside schools.
Kwality Wall’s are trying to change this myth by educating consumers and sparing
no efforts to strive to ensure that superior quality products reach consumers.
Even as various industries are wilting under the heat of recession, the ice cream
industry is firming up for higher growth this summer. Major ice cream
manufacturers such as Amul, Kwality wall’s, Mother Dairy who have a
presence nation wide, expects The Indian ice cream industry is estimated to be
worth nearly Rs2,000 crore. Organised players account for around 45% of this
share, which comes to Rs900 crore," as reported by Mr. RS Sodhi, CGM,
Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF). GCMMF
owns the Amul brand.
"Amul has 25% share in the national ice cream market.” It is the market leader
in Gujarat where its market share is 35%."
Vadilal Industries Ltd claims that the ice cream industry will beat all
recessionary trends and register at least 25% growth in this season.

KWALITY WALLS
HUL introduced Kwality Wall's Softy Ice Cream range in the year 2000. Kwality
Wall's is the leading ice cream brand in India. The objective was to target all
consumer segments covering all social and economic groups and to provide them
with a superior quality, hygienic, soft and creamy ice cream that is easily accessible
at a very affordable price of just Rs 5. HUL was looking for an organization that
Brand image of the ice cream - The consumer considers the kind of image the brand
that he is going to purchase depicts. It has to suit certain status symbol, quality and
Price of ice cream -Price should be affordable and the product should provide
money’s worth in terms of quality, quantity and consumer satisfaction. as kids also
form a main segment of our section a proper care should be given as far as pricing is
concerned.
Environment-The environment should be such that the consumer wants to stay there
and spent some time.
Service- The service should be fast so that the customer waiting time should be less
and leads to their satisfaction and results in formation of good brand image.
Quality of ice cream – the quality of the ice cream delivered certainly plays a vital
role in determining whether the customer will re purchase the brand or not. The
quality and taste of ice cre7am determines the satisfaction level of the customer and
hence plays a vital role in determining his approach towards the product.
CONSUMER PREFERENCE
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
GURU NANAK INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT & IT
17
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.
The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers
make buying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of
the goods they buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of
any company or product promotion it is very necessary to depart its concentration
towards consumer preference.

Promotion is the major components of the companies total marketing mix .It is the
most substantial component. It intent is to inform persuade and influence people. It is
a basic ingredient in non price competition and it is essential element in marketing.
Promotion decisions must be integrated and co-ordinate with rest of the marketing
mix to frame strategies.
As Ice-cream is an FMCG product creating and retaining awareness has
much importance. So Kwality wall’s carries promotions such as
The price is the exchange value of the product, it is value expressed in terms of
monetary medium of exchange. It is a link that binds the customer and the company.
It helps to establish mutually advantageous economic relationships and facilitates the
transfer of ownership of goods and services from the company to buyers, Price
serves to bring supply of goods and services produced in equilibrium with the
quantity demanded.
The pricing of the kwality wall’s products are higher as compared with their
competitors, Due to this kwality wall’s products gets differentiated and placed in the
executive class of the society.
The company claims though its price is high because of its quality products, and
using the skimmed Milk fats more as compared to others.
The price of almost all the products of kwality wall’s are near about 10% higher
than Amul, 30-35 % than local companies .

delightful range of ice cream flavors and sundaes. These Parlours attempt to capture
‘on the move’ and ‘out and about’ consumer trends and hence are either exclusive
Parlours in colonies/ residential markets or kiosks at multiplexes, mass malls, etc.

capture the ‘on the move’ consumer trends and are located at high footfall areas
such as malls and shopping centers and are classified under the impulse range of
products.
STRENGTH:-
The Indian ice cream market was till recently reserved for the small-
scale sector. It was opened to large-scale manufacture only in 1997. Since then the
market has been witnessing fierce battles and huge investments on the part of major
players in cold chains and infrastructure. The overall industry has been growing at a
sluggish rate of 3-4 %. But the organized sector has been growing in the region of 15
% over the last five years.
This Rs 750-crore market is in today. Not a single multinational brand has been able
to make its presence felt in ice-creams in India as the market continues to be ruled by
Indian brands such as Amul, Kwality Walls, Mother Dairy, Vadilal and several
regional ones such as Dinshaw in the West and Arun in the south and Sudha in the
eastern India.
Ice-cream consumption is increasing but very slowly, like any other
change in habit. "But the most enduring change that we have noticed is increasing
out-of-home consumption, which is related to socio-economic changes, especially in
urban markets.
WEAKNESS:-
OPPORTUNITIES:-
The Indian rural market has great potential. All the major market leaders
consider the segments and real markets for their products. A senior official in a one
of the leading company says foray into rural India already started and there has been
realization that the rural market is both price and quantity conscious.
Due to multinationals are entering into market job opportunities are
increasing day by day. Also Indian ice-cream majors are tie up with other
multinationals such as Vadilal, Dinshaw’s growth strategy to have a tie up with
Bapuna Industries ltd. to export in Arabian countries.
THREATS:-
Major Ice cream players in India and there market share are:-
