Introduction
PHILIPS ELECTROLUX Electronics Limited India is a new business unit that brings
together two premium brands Philips and Electrolux that complement each other as a single
entity under a unique brand licensee agreement. Philips is a range of Television Products and
Electrolux is a range of Home Appliances. They set up in April 2010; PE Electronics Ltd. is
headquartered in Mumbai and will operate in 9 zones with 24 branch offices across the country.
As part of PE Electronics, the Philips product range will consist of High definition LEDs, LCDs
and Ultra Slim Color TV’s. The Electrolux product range will consist of Refrigerators, Washing
Machines, Microwave Ovens and Air- Conditioners.
Brands like LG, Samsung, Videocon, and Onida, inclusive of Igo, have been able to
confirm their presence and during 2011 their combined market presence was 77.5 percent
compared to 58.3 percent in 2010. However, their absolute numbers have reduced. Sales of some
other brands such as the following in the 0.1 to 0.2 million category like Haier, TCL, Samsung,
Oscar, Sony, Panasonic, Philips, Onida, Videocon.
In the present scenario Samsung, Sony, and LG are the major players in the segment
with a market share of 61 percent during 2011. In 2010, these companies held a combined
market share of 81 percent. Other companies like Videocon, Toshiba, and Panasonic are
quickly gaining ground in this segment.
Project Outline:
Our main objective is to compare the Philips LED with other competitive brands i.e.
Samsung, Sony, LG, Videocon, Sansui, Onida, and Panasonic.
1) Research was conducted at PE-electronics Aurangabad.
2) Data was collected about Dealer i.e. no. of stocks, brands etc
3) Survey was conducted to understand that how many are aware of Philips product.
2
The entire team at Philips-Electrolux division is new, including sales personnel, and
Videocon has poached a number of mid-senior level managers from Samsung, said a person with
direct knowledge of the development. "It is but natural to expect that the new brand heads will
bring in some people from the company they were working with," the same person said. The new
business unit has been formed even as negotiations are on between Videocon and Electrolux to
extend their brand license deal beyond 2010.
Philips and Electrolux were clubbed together as a business unit as they are the premium
brands in the Videocon portfolio and complement rather than compete with each other given
their product mix. Videocon is a multi-brand consumer durable firm selling products such as
televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, air conditioners under Videocon, Sansui, Ken star,
Electrolux, Kelvinator brands.

Industry Overview
Electronics Industry in India
The Indian electronics industry had its origins to the year 1965 with an orientation towards space and defense technologies. This was rigidly controlled and initiated by the government. This was followed by developments in consumer electronics mainly with transistor radios, black & white TVs, calculators, and other audio products. Color televisions soon followed. 1982 was a significant year in the history of television in India when the government allowed thousands of color TV sets to be imported into the country to coincide with the broadcast of Asian Games in New Delhi. 1985 saw the advent of Computers and Telephone exchanges, which were succeeded by Digital Exchanges in 1988. The period between 1984 and 1990 was the golden period for electronics during which the industry witnessed continuous and rapid growth.
Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics (durables) sector continues to be the main stay of the Indian electronic industry contributing about 32 per cent of the total electronic hardware production. The market is expected to grow at 10 to 12 per cent annually. The urban consumer durables market is growing at an annual rate of seven to 10 per cent, the rural durables market is growing at 25 per cent annually. Some high-growth categories within this segment include mobile phones, TVs, and music systems.
Current Scenario - In recent years the electronic industry is growing at a brisk pace. The demand in the Indian market is expected to touch $400 billion by 2020. The largest segment is the consumer electronics segment. While is largest export segment is of components. Under the Modified Special Incentive Package Scheme (M-SIPS), the government will provide up to Rs 100 billion in benefits to the industry during the 12th Five Year Plan (2012-17). India's production constitutes only about 1.3% of the global electronics hardware production of $1.7 trillion. Hence it is miniscule by international comparison. However the demand in the Indian market is growing rapidly and investments are flowing in to augment manufacturing capacity.
The consumer electronics and durables industry is currently poised at about Rs 340 billion. India is also an exporter of a vast range of electronic components and products for the following segments Display technologies Entertainment electronics Optical Storage devices Passive components Electromechanical components Telecom equipment Transmission & Signaling equipment Semiconductor designing Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS)
In consumer electronics Korean companies such as LG and Samsung have made commitments by establishing large manufacturing facilities and now enjoy a significant share in
5
the growing market for products such as Televisions, CD/DVD Players, Audio equipment and other entertainment products.
