The Consumer Durables industry consists of durable goods and appliances for domestic use such as, refrigerators, air conditioners and washing machines and micro wave ovens are also included in this category. The sector has been
witnessing significant growth in recent years, helped by several drivers such as the emerging retail boom, real estate and housing demand greater disposable income and an overall increase in the level of affluence of a significant section of the population. The project intends to study the customer satisfaction of customers of Samsung Electronics India ltd in the Ernakulam region. For this various factors were considered like employee assistance, post sales follow ups, value for money, variety of appliances etc. The main objective of finding out the customer satisfaction is know the reasons why customers are dissatisfied and what all measures are to be taken to reduce this dissatisfaction or else the company will lose its existing customers if they are kept unhappy.Before the liberalization of the Indian economy, only a few companies like
Kelvinator, Godrej, Alwyn, and Voltas were the major players in the consumer durables market, accounting for no less than 90% of the market. Then, after the liberalization, foreign players like LG, Sony, Samsung, Whirlpool, Daewoo, and Aiwa came into the picture. Today, these players control the major share of the consumer durables market. Consumer durables market is one of the fastest growing market. It is growing very fast because of rise in living standards, easy access to consumer finance, and wide range of choice, as many foreign players were entering in the market with the increase in income levels, easy availability of finance, increase in consumer awareness, and introduction of new models, the demand for consumer durables has increased significantly. Products like washing machines, air conditioners, microwave ovens, colour televisions (C-TV) were no longer considered luxury items. However, there were still very few players in categories like vacuum cleaners, and dishwashers Consumer durables sector is characterized by the emergence of MNCs, exchange offers, discounts, and intense competition. The market share of MNCs in consumer durables sector is 65%. MNC's major target is the growing middle class of India. MNCs offer superior technology to the Consumers whereas the Indian companies compete on the basis of firm grasp of the local market, their well acknowledged brands, and hold

Over wide distribution network. However, the penetration Level of the consumer durables is still low in India.Indian Consumer durables market used to be dominated by

But post liberalization many foreign companies have entered into Indian market dethroning the Indian players and dominating Indian market the major categories being CTV, REFRIGRATOR, MICROWAVE OVEN and WASHING MACHINES.India being the second largest growing economy with huge consumer class has RESULTED IN consumer durables as the fastest growing industries in India.

split ACs by 97 per cent.Since the penetration in the urban areas for these products is already quite high, the markets for both C-TV and refrigerators were shifting to the semi-urban and rural areas the growth across product categories in different segments is assessed in the following sections.
Consumer electronics
The CTV production was 15.10 million units in 2008-09 and is expected to grow by at least 25 per cent in the coming years. At the disaggregated level, conventional CTV volumes have been falling while flat TVs have grown strongly. Market sources indicate that most cctv majors have phased out conventional TVs and have been instead focusing more on flat TVs. The flat segment of CTVs now account for over60 per cent of the total domestic TV production and is likely to be around 65 per cent in 201011.High-end products such as liquid crystal display (LCD) and plasma display CTV grew by 400 per cent and 150 percent Cent respectively in 200910 f ollowing a sharp decline in prices of these products and this trend is expected to continue and new LED TV has come into the market and 3D TVs are also going to be introduced in the market . The audio/video player market has seen significant growth rates in the domestic market as prices have dropped. This trend is expected to continue through 2009- 2010, as competition is likely to intensify to scale and capture the mass market.
