1 INTRODUCTION Water is the most important liquid in the world. Without water there would be no life. We know today living condition the need of pure drinking water is becoming a issue of a common man.80 percent of the human metabolism consists of water. There are three types of water impurities caused for water bornediseases.1}microbiological bacteria/virus,2}chemical 3}imbalance of mineral content. Cause of air and water pollution there will be rapid changes taking place in our environment, the main source of drinking water is river and downstream which also not been able to escaped the pollution, when a consumer become a aware of problems caused by water pollution then they give importance for pure mineral water 1980s witnessed more changes by a tap attachment where in Iodine resin is used to filter the water. It deactivates microbiological impurities to an extent but has side effects due to iodine and it does not take care of dissolved impurities mineral balance Late 1980s witnessed Ultra Violent based purifier, which filters dust and deactivates bacteria to a great extent. It maintains the cooler of water but does not clear out the dissolved impurities and mineral particles. Thus came advent of mineral water. Historically the need for purified water within Indian homes had been kept down to a minimum. Essentially, there were three types of water that was used for different purposes. The first type was used for rinsing. The second type which was used for cooking was cleaner and kept covered. The third type was the cleanest drinking water and was very often boiled before use. Since an average family needed a small quantity, not more than five or six liters a day, boiled and filtered water had been a convenient solution for some time .The fallouts were obvious. It was very difficult to convince the people that purification system was worth the price

2 INDUSTRY PROFILE 2.1 OVERVIEW OF AN INDUSTRY 2.1.a Introduction Water is the most important necessity for life. The drinking-water needs for individuals vary depending on the climate, physical activity and the body culture. but for average consumers it is estimated to be about two to four litres per day. The growing number of cases of water borne diseases increasing water pollution. increasing urbanization increasing scarcity of pure and safe water etc. have made the bottled water business just like other consumer items. Scarcity of potable and wholesome water at railway stations, tourists spots, and role of tourism corp. etc. has also added to the growth 2.1.b Bottled Water Industry in India The overall packaged bottled water in India is estimated to touch the Rs 10,000 crore mark in the 2012-13 fiscal, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19%, says a new report by Ikon Marketing Consultants. Presently, this market is estimated at Rs 8,000 crore, and could touch Rs15000 crore by 2015, the report adds. While Bisleri continues as the top brand with a 36% share among national players, Coca-Cola's Kinley follows with 25% share, followed by Aquafina at 15%. Other smaller brands include Parle Agro's Bailley, Kingfisher and McDowells No. 1, according to the report. The global bottled water market, which saw an increase of 40-45% over the past five years, is currently valued at close to US$ 85-90 billion, the report adds.

2.1.c Bottled water top players in India The market leader is Bisleri International, which boasts a 40 per cent share. It is followed by Coca- Cocas Kinley (around 25 per cent) and PepsiCos Aquafina (around 10 per cent). The top players in bottled water industry in India are the major international giants like Coca cola, Pepsi, Nestle and noticeable presence of national players like Mount Everest, Manikchand, Kingfisher, Mohan Meakins, SKN Breweries , Indian Railways so on. With increasing competition, this sector will register a robust growth in 2010, predict industry analysts. Top multinational players such as Coca-Cola and PepsiCo have been trying for the past decade to capture the Indian bottled water market. Today they have captured a significant portion of it. However, Parle Bisleri continues to hold 40 per cent of the market share. Kinley and Aquafina are fast catching up, with Kinley holding 20-25 per cent of the market and Aquafina approximately 10 per cent. The rest, including the smaller players, have 20-25 % of the market share.
2.2 WATER INDUSTRY ANALYSIS India is the tenth largest bottled water consumer in the world. In 2002, the industry had an estimated turnover of Rs.10 billion (Rs.1, 000 crores). Today it is one of India's fastest growing industrial sectors. Between 1999 and 2004, the Indian bottled water market grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25 per cent - the highest in the world With over a thousand bottled water producers, the Indian bottled water industry is big by even international standards. There are more than 200 brands, nearly 80 per cent of which are local. Most of the small-scale producers sell non-branded products and serve small markets. Organization study
Acharya institute of graduation studies Page 5
In fact, making bottled water is today a cottage industry in the country. Leave alone the metros, where a bottled-water manufacturer can be found even in a one-room shop, in every medium and small city and even some prosperous rural areas there are bottled water manufacturers. Despite the large number of small producers, this industry is dominated by the big players.
Bisleri has been the first to introduce mineral water to India. For over 30 years, it remains the pioneers in the bottled water industry with its ever-evolving innovations and product offerings. Parle was the first major Indian company to enter the bottled water market in the country when it introduced Bisleri in India 25 years ago. Parle Bisleri and later on Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Parle Agro, Mohan Meakins, SKN Breweries enter into the bottled water market in the country, The total annual bottled water consumption in India had tripled to 5 billion litres in 2004 from 1.5 billion litres in 1999. Global consumption of bottled water was nearing 200 billion litres in 2006.now it is more then 240 billion. 2.2.a Bottled water companies earn high profits What is amazing is that people are prepared to pay Rs. 12 for a liter of water- in India especially when the cost of material input (0.25 paisa per liter excluding labours cost) pales into insignificance before the price of the product. Up to 40% of bottled water comes from the same source as tap water, but is sold back to consumers at hundreds of times the cost, says the website of the North American "Think Outside the Bottle" campaign. Not only the Coca-Cola but there are thousands of brands in India's $445 million packaged water industry. Not just bottlers are involved. In south India, thousands of fuel trucks converted to be water carriers sell ground water to households and establishments at about $10 for 5,000 liters. More than 13,000 tankers carry water drawn Organization study

from farmland surrounding Chennai, according a social activist R Srinivasan. He estimates a $148 million tanker industry is cashing in on Chennai's acute water scarcity. The story is replicated across India, including in New Delhi.

2.3 INDUSTRY AND MARKET ANALYSIS ANALYSIS OF MARKETING STRATEGY OF MINERAL WATER` 2.3.a Indian Bottled Water Market Showing Substantial Growth Drinking water is undoubtedly a good thing, far better than buying soft drinks or liquid candy, as nutritionists like to call it. The bottled water industry in India has shown strong growth over the last five years. Recent market figures suggest that the market grew from USD 189 million in 2003 to USD 599 million in 2008. This is tantamount to a growth rate of 216 percent. It has been estimated that over the next 5 years, the industry will grow two fold. The Indian market is one of the fastest growing markets across the world. One of the primary reasons stated for such high growth has been the rise in the level of disposable income among consumers. This coupled with poor water infrastructure has boosted the market. Players are trying to capitalize their position in the market via large scale investments. PepsiCo forwarded that they plan on investing USD 220 million in the Indian beverages industry
The bottled water business in India is also growing fast, but the supplies are erratic and the quality of water delivered is unreliable too. No wonder consumer preference for bottled water has spurred a billion-dollar industry during the last decade. From less than 2 million cases in the early-90s, the current consumption of bottled water is well over 90 million cases in India and growing.
With a little over 5 billion litres of bottled water being consumed in a year, the bottled water industry has been growing at a compound growth rate of anywhere between 25-40 percent. This is the highest amongst the world's leading bottled water consuming countries. Industry pundits believe that the Organization study
Acharya institute of graduation studies Page 8
boom time for the Indian bottled water industry is to continue more so because the economics are sound, the bottom line flat and the government uncaring about what happens to the nation's water resources. With the growing market size, one can imagine the employment opportunities being created with the surge in bottled water industry. Its just not manufacturing of bottled water any more. Professionals required in this industry are engineers with mechanical, electrical and chemical background. The rise of the Indian bottled water industry began with the economic liberalisation process in 1991. The market was virtually stagnant until 1991, when the demand for bottled water was less than two million cases a year. However, since 1991-1992 it has not looked back, and the demand in 2004-05 was a staggering 82 million cases.
2.3.b Growth Rate of Packaged drinking water Water is the most important liquid in the world. Without water, there would be no life, at least not the way we know it. In todays living condition, the need for Pure Drinking Water is becoming the issue for the common Man. Eighty percent of the human metabolism consists of water. This is the reason why 90% of human diseases are water borne. A few years back, the mineral water market had been crawling at the rate of 3- 4%, or even a lower figure. Indians carried drinking water in earthen pitchers, plastic or PUF bottles. But increasing cases of typhoid and other water borne diseases began to be reported. In addition to this, liberalization happened and the mineral water industry began to be stirred and shaken. The market started growing an astounding rate of over 100% per annum. The fact that there were very few players in the market meant that their business grew by leaps and bounds. The market today has grown to Rs11bn. The organized sector branded mineral water has only Rs5bn of market share. The rest is accounted for by the Organization study
Acharya institute of graduation studies Page 9
unorganized sector, which is dominated by small regional players. The market is still growing at a rate greater than80% per annum. In the branded segment, Parles Bisleri is the market leader with a share of more than 45%. Parle Agros Bailley comes a close second with market share of 15%. Other major players in the market are Kotharis, Ganga of T-Series, Himalayan, Hello, Nestls Pure Life,Pepsis Aquafina, Coca-Colas -Kinley Prime, and Florida etc. Sensing the opportunity that this segment holds, MNCs began to draw up plans to enter the market. Today the market is proving to be yet another battle field for an ongoing battle between the Desis and MNCs. Last year the industry had around 170 brands. This figure is over 300 presently. The major foreign players are Coca-Cola promoted Kinley, Pepsis Aquafina, Britannias Evian, NestlsPerrier, Herbert sons and Danone International. 2.3.c PARTICIPANTS IN WATER BOTTLER INDUSTRY Major brands.

2.3.d Eureka Forbes to enter packaged drinking water market Water purification appliances-maker Eureka Forbes is making a ride in the packaged water segment and will roll out the bottled water product on a pan- India basis by next year, a top company official said The company will sell the product under the brand name 'AquaSure', in 20-litre and one-litre bottles, but has not disclose the prices. 2.3.e Bisleri looking to enter Middle East countries Bottled water major Bisleri International said it is looking at entering Middle East countries as part of its strategy to expand its overseas presence As part of the plan, the company said it will consider setting up more manufacturing facilities outside India. A joint Indian-Egyptian venture will see the construction of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) plant in Ain Sokhna at a cost of $160 million, officials said. The factorys production capacity will reach 1,200 metric tons per day producing about 420,000 metric tons of PET plastic chips per year. These plastic products will include bottles, food containers, bottled water, bottled drinks, shampoos and cosmetics. 2.3.f Railways hikes capacity of Rail Neer plant at Khagau The Rail Neer (mineral water) plant at Khagaul has proved to be a good revenue earner for the railways. The railways has increased its production capacity to one lakh bottles daily to cope with the growing demand in other zones. 2.3.g Coca-Cola Company looking ahead for water Coca-Cola uses 309 billion liters of water annually to produce its beverages. That's about what Atlanta uses in five months, according to the city's Department of Watershed Management. In 2008, the company said, Coca-Cola used 2.43 liters of water to produce an average one-liter beverage. One liter Organization study

goes into the beverage itself, and 1.43 liters are used for manufacturing processes such as rinsing, cleaning and cooling. The company says its global system of about 1,000 bottling plants is on track to improve water efficiency by 20 percent between 2004 and 2012.
