the last years it was market segments which both have dominated and not
much was seen to disturb that arrangement. Parle with its Parle G ,

Creams.
Britannia dominated the premium segment of biscuits where as Parle
dominated the mass ,low premium biscuits ,things were pretty predictable
but for the entry of new players have changed that status. Now that ITC and

themselves as important players in biscuit market . These two major biscuit

around –80% for Parle.
