Poor Watch Penetration In India Is Likely To Drive
Further Growth In Volumes. Increasing penetration
will drive growth of low end and mass market
segments.
With removal of Quantitative Restriction a lot of
International brand watches entering into the Indian
market and in five year time they will only grow their
market share. It will be even more difficult for HMT
to match competition unless until HMT changes its
strategy which should match global competition.
Contd
To make it visible in the market we think the HMT
watches can be targeted in the villages of India more
aggressively where the brand awareness of HMT is
more visible.
With increasing level of income and purchasing
power people are more concerned about the looks
and beautiful designs with jewel studded watches
rather than going for simple watches as of HMTs.
Suggestions
Faster production of new models of watches for
catering to the changing needs of the customer.
Adoption of innovative and aggressive marketing
policies.
Strengthening infrastructure for R&D.
Reduce man power by adopting new technologies
and processes.
Institutional sales and sales through canteen stores
department (CSD) and e - commerce.
Enhancing customer services.
To seek collaboration with reputed international
