Question 1
Market opportunity for a new brand in the SPRO
market was assessed through 4 prime factors:
Reason for using current brand
Use of multiple cooking medium
Use of multiple SPRO brands
Brand loyalty status
Reason for using current brand
Assessed through a set of 4 questions.
Key Highlights
64% respondents made such who could easily changed
to using the new SPRO brand since their brand choice
was explicit.
4% respondents were fully satisfied with their current
brand. This too was seen as a market potential.
Use of multiple cooking oil
Table shows that none of the respondent used
only a single cooking medium.
78% respondents used three or more and 30%
used four or more cooking mediums.
This shows that users could easily be changed
from using one medium to the other, which was
seen as a positive sign for the IPL researchers.
Number of brands of Refined oil
used
Table shows that only 26% respondents use a
single oil brand.
74% respondents used two or more brands
while 32% used three or more.
The researchers could thus infer that while 74%
would not mind using another oil brand, 32% of
them might in fact welcome another substitute.
Brand Loyalty Status
Table shows that around 70% respondents were
not loyal to their brand.
This gave the IPL researchers enough
confidence of an ample market size to introduce
the new product.
However, they need to make sure that their
product is always available in the market stores
in the desired pack size, else the consumer
might change the brand it uses.
