Summary
Figure 6: Forces driving competition in the savory snacks market in India, 2009
The Indian savory snacks market is highly concentrated with the top three players accounting for 78.3%
of the total market value.
Independent retailers are the main buyers in the Indian market and may exert strong buyer power.
Suppliers to the savory snacks market are weakened by the scale of market players. Attempting to enter
this market is difficult, with new entrants competing with large multinational companies. The market is well
developed and many of the players sell similar products, leading to an intensely competitive environment,
with players competing for the same share of the market.
Buyer power
Figure 7: Drivers of buyer power in the savory snacks market in India, 2009
The major buyers in the Indian savory snacks market are independent retailers (about 62% of the total
distribution). Savory snacks constitute just one of a wide range of products sold by most food retailers and
this reduces the importance of this product to buyers, increasing buyer power. While retailers themselves
are not very susceptible to brand loyalty, the end consumer might exert strong brand loyalty and hence
some pull-through of end-consumer demand on retailers is expected. Such a situation weakens buyer
power. Consumer demand is likely to be more price-sensitive in countries where average consumer
incomes are lower, and retailers will be correspondingly price-sensitive if they wish to maintain their
margins on these products. Overall, buyer power is assessed to be moderate in the Indian savory snacks
market.
Supplier power
Figure 8: Drivers of supplier power in the savory snacks market in India, 2009
Suppliers in the savory snacks market include agricultural commodity traders, agricultural producers,
manufacturers of ingredients and packaging, and factory automation equipment. Market players generally
buy perishable raw materials, such as potatoes, direct from the growers, which are often relatively small
businesses. Vegetable oils, and grains such as maize, are more commonly provided by commodity
traders and these are often large multinationals. While market players rarely integrate backwards into
farming, some have already become active in commodity trading; a trend that weakens supplier power.
Similarly, many market players manufacture ingredients such as flavorings. While consumer preferences
must be catered for, players can mitigate the impact of changing raw material prices by diversifying their
product mix - for example, producing both potato chips and corn chips. Overall, supplier power is
assessed to be moderate in the Indian savory snacks market.
New entrants
Figure 9: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the savory snacks market in India,
2009
The Indian savory snacks market has presence of large multinationals such as PepsiCo. These
companies have developed and acquired extensive product portfolios, and built brands with large
marketing and advertising budgets. A new entrant may find it difficult to differentiate its products, although
some smaller players have succeeded by emphasizing artisanal production techniques or unusual
ingredients (for example Kettle Foods offers hand-cooked potato chips, and chips made from root
vegetables). New entrants may also be able to take advantage of emerging trends in Western countries,
with consumers becoming increasingly focused on healthy eating and organic food, and the demand for
convenience food continues to grow as a result of consumers' time pressed modern lifestyles. Gaining
access to distribution channels may be difficult as retail space is a finite resource, which means that new
entrants must persuade the stores to replace established brands to make way for a new product. Overall,
the likelihood of new entrants is moderate.
Substitutes
Figure 10: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the savory snacks market in India, 2009
Retailers are compelled to cater to consumer demands, and therefore sales of savory snacks are
threatened by many substitutes, including confectionery, fruit, and beverages. All these products are
available at relatively similar prices, and therefore it is not costly for a retailer to switch to substitutes. For
example a retailer might stock more confectionery products and fewer potato chips. The fast spreading
consciousness for healthy, sugar and salt free meals influences the snacks market. More people are
switching to healthier options, like fruits. Moreover, compared to savory snacks, the substitutes can have
benefits such as easier display (for example it is relatively easy to display compact candy bars than fluffy
packs of potato chips). However there are also some disadvantages, for example fruits often require
chilled display, and its shorter lifetime means that it is less able to ride out small fluctuations in consumer
demand. Overall, there is a strong threat from substitutes.
Rivalry
Figure 11: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the savory snacks market in India, 2009
The Indian savory snacks market has the presence of large multinationals such as PepsiCo. The leading
players tend to offer a diverse range of savory snacks products, and may operate in other business areas
as well. This diversification defends their performance against competition pressures in any one market.
Fixed costs are high in this market, as most companies own large production facilities, and the need to
divest such assets on exiting the Indian market constitutes an exit barrier and increases rivalry to a
certain degree. The majority of these companies are geographically diversified which weakens rivalry to
some extent. The strong market growth in recent years also eases rivalry to a certain degree. Overall,
there is a moderate degree of rivalry in the market.
