CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
We start with the definition of consumer Market. “A consumer
Market can be defined as all the individuals and households who buy
goods and services for personal consumption can be said to be part of
the consumer market.
Consumer Behavior is defined as… “All psychological, social
and physical of all potential consumers as they become aware of,
evaluate, purchase, consume and tell others about products and
services”

Nature and Characteristics of Indian consumers


Philip kotler has rightly said ‘Market may be defined as a
relationship between consumer and producer occurring at a time place
and at a value mutually agreeable and acceptable to the concerned
parties”. It is the responsibility of the marketing system to discover
and serve the market demand. It provides the vital link in connecting
production (supply) and consumption that will ensure a desired
standard of living in an economy.
It is important for marketers of Indian firms also to understand the
Indian market and its characteristics so as enable them to take crucial
marketing decisions related to products, price, promotion and
distribution. This will help in matching company products with
consumer needs.

Nature and Characteristics of Indian consumer


1. Geography
Page 7
Effect of branding in purchase in purchase of FMCG products

2. Population
3. Urban-Rural composition
4. Sex composition
5. Age factor
6. Literacy level
7. Income level
8. Linguistic diversity
9. Religion
10. Dress, food, habits and festival

Geography:
India ranks seventh in the world in terms of size. There are also
various regions namely great mountain zone, Indo Gangetic plain, the
desert regions. Climate in terms of temperature is also varied.
Temperature in extreme north is low as compared to the south and
north regions.

Population:
India is one of the world’s highly populated countries. Further,
the distribution of the population is also unequally divided amongst
the states of India. Related to density of population also there is
diversity among the different regions/states depending upon
topography, climate and level of economic development. Knowledge
about the density of population will help the marketing executives in
developing appropriate priorities and alternative marketing strategies.

Urban-Rural Composition:

Page 8
Effect of branding in purchase in purchase of FMCG products

About 80% of India’s population is rural whereas 20% is


urban. However, post independence period has seen a gradual
shift of people towards urbanization. During the period, the
urban population increased almost four times whereas rural
population could only double itself. This rate of increase in
urban population has been more pronounced in the states of
Gujarat and Maharashtra mainly. This shift towards
urbanization is mainly due to seeking of better job prospects,
higher income and consequently better standard of living.
This urban-rural feature will have a bearing on the consumption
pattern of the consumers.

Sex Composition:
With increasing education, the role of women has undergone
significant changes. The profile of women has changed from that of a
housewife to a working woman. Today, the urban housewife is an
active partner and plays a major role in the purchase decisions. In
India the sex composition in most the states consists of more males
than females except in Kerala where it is the other way round. This
knowledge of sex composition will help the marketer to understand
the market better and work out strategies to design suitable
promotional techniques for each gender.

Age:
This is another important factor to be kept in mind while
segmenting the market so that suitable marketing strategies may be
developed. On account of wide exposure to various communication
Page 9
Effect of branding in purchase in purchase of FMCG products

media like television, private channels, magazines, etc., children are


also participating in buying decisions related to their clothes, toys,
books, books, etc.
An analysis of the Indian consumer will not be complete
without a mention of the urban teenagers and youth market. They are
more modern, careless for tradition and religion. They have an
inclination towards the western culture and are quick to seek novelties
new fashions.

Literacy Level:
Depending upon the level of literacy amongst the target
consumers, the marketers will have to design a suitable
communication mix for promotion of a product or service. According
to 1991 census, the nation’s average literacy rate is 52.11 Crore
literacy among males was 63.86% while among females it was
39.42%. With the efforts of government continuing to bring down the
level of illiteracy in the country, there should be an increase in the
level of literate consumers in the coming years.
Thus the literacy level goes a long way in shaping consumer
demand by influencing the tastes, Living standards and aspirations of
people.

Income Level:
Income level, (money to spend or purchasing power)
purchasing power or income has a direct effect on the potential
demand for the product. Income levels can be analyzed on the basis of
two income concepts, namely (a) disposable income(income minus
taxes), (b) discretionary income, which is the income left after paying
Page 10
Effect of branding in purchase in purchase of FMCG products

taxes and meeting expenses related to food clothing shelter and the
other necessary items.
Income, credit and assets are objective elements of our
purchasing power. However, economic ability must be combined with
willingness to buy i.e., the ability and willingness to spend the
discretionary income will have a direct effect on the potential demand
of the products. Purchasing power depends on the income of the
target market.
Thus, depending upon the income of its target market, the company
will decide on the suitable marketing mix elements to be adopted
especially related to pricing of the product.
