III.Industry analysis and trend
Chocolate Industry in 2014 at a Glance
The chocolate industry offers a wide variety of opportunities for the small business
owner weathers economic recession well and is growing despite increased health-
consciousness and calorie counting. Growth will be driven by population growth as well
as expansion into new markets, product innovation and rising disposable income levels
leading to greater purchasing of premium offerings.
Chocolate is wildly popular for individual consumption, gift giving and celebrating. Due
to the dominance of large-scale production dynasties, franchises and small businesses
tend to focus on unique or specialty items or services. Unique chocolates may be from a
region famous for a particular technique, baked on-site or offer a different take on
tradition, while specialty services tend to focus on gift-packaging or delivery.
There are a number of trends within the chocolate industry that are driving growth; and
product innovation in 2011 brought a 16% increase in new product releases over 2010.
Increasing disposable incomes as well as changing public sentiments regarding health
and our global community are the driving forces behind this growth in innovation.
Premium and specialty items have shown strong growth over the long-term. During the
recession, there had been a shift away from premium items, but as the economy has
continued to recover, sales of premium items have taken the lead again. High-end
varieties can be baked on the premises, come from a renowned region or have a hidden
secret recipe. Seasonal and boxed assorted chocolates have been experiencing the fastest
growth, and sales are expected to expand 13% between 2012 and 2015. Holidays,
birthdays, retirement parties and more, chocolate is a versatile gift for many occasions.
Over the last several decades there has been increased understanding of what constitutes
a healthy diet, and there has been a dramatic increase in sales of sugar free, reduced fat
and reduced calorie offerings. Dark chocolate is known to lower both blood pressure and
cholesterol, and has nearly 8 times the number of antioxidants as found in strawberries.
A recent survey found that 35% of respondents believe dark chocolate to be healthier,
and it shows: sales grew 9% in 2009 versus 3.6% for the chocolate industry as a whole.
Fair-trade certified chocolate is another fast growing segment of the market, where
consumers pay a premium to ensure goods are produced in an ethical manner. As our
global community grows smaller with the communication revolution, it becomes
glaringly obvious that goods produced in developing countries are often subject to
horrible labour conditions are controlled by dominant industry participants. Fair Trade is
a social movement aimed to promote sustainability in developing countries, and
generally requires a higher price but conforms to higher social and environmental
standards.
There are a wide variety of chocolate industry opportunities available for the franchisee,
based on location, clientele, and affluence. Franchises exist in storefront or online
variety and for shipping or hand delivery; specialty stores provide high-end treats and
bulk candy stores offer large quantities of varying quality!

7. 7
Gift-Giving Like flower shops, these businesses often focus on
themed chocolates and delivery
Bulk Candy Offering a wide assortment of candies of all types
(including non-chocolate), these stores often charge
by the pound...or half pound!
Premium or
Unique
High-end, specialty items, imports from areas with
historical processes
On-Site
Baking
That smell....advertising in the air!
Ethical Free trade or other, quality products produced
process and delivered in a certifiably ethical and/or
environmental manner.
The chocolate industry has proven both resilient during the recession and innovative to
meet changing consumer tastes and criteria. Growth will remain strong as chocolate
gains in popularity in new markets and the global economy powers ahead. Healthier
varieties are gaining market share and discerning consumers are willing to pay a
premium for ethical production, but through it all, chocolate demand continues to grow.
THE CHOCOLATE INDUSTRY IN INDIA
The chocolate industry in India has a size of 20000 tones and is worth about Rs
400crores. The chocolate market has been growing by nearly 35 %. However there has
been some slowdown in the last two years. The chocolate market is predominantly urban
with coverage of 95 %. The sales volume has decreased by 5% in the last year and the
chocolate market had declined with the average consumption coming down by 25% from
16000 tonnes to the current level of125000 tonnes. Chocolate consumption in India is
extremely low. Per capita consumption is around160gms in the urban areas, compared to
8-10kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it is even lower. Chocolates in India
are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. A strong volume growth was
witnessed in the early 90s when Cadbury repositioned chocolates from children to adult
consumption. The biggest opportunity is likely to stem from increasing the consumer
base. Leading players like Cadbury and Nestle have been attempting to do this by value
for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses. Cadbury, a subsidiary of
Cadbury Schweppes is a dominating player in the Indian chocolate market with strong
brands like Dairy Milk, Five Star, Perk, and Gems etc. Dairy milk is the largest
chocolate brand in India.

8. 8
• Size of the chocolate industry:-
The Indian Chocolate Industry has come a long way since long years. Ever since 1947
the Cadbury is in India, Cadbury chocolates have ruled the hearts of Indians with their
fabulous taste.
The size of the market for chocolates in India was estimated at 30,000 tonnes in 2008.
Currently, the Indian chocolate market is worth around ₹ 4,500 crore. The Indian
chocolate industry is registering a compound annual growth rate of 25 per cent at
present. The demand for chocolates in India has clocked about 35% rise as against last
year primarily in urban areas due to the rising shift to chocolates from traditional mithai
around the festival season. Bars of moulded chocolates like Amul, milk chocolate, dairy
milk, truffle, nestle premium, and nestle milky bar comprise the largest segment,
accounting for 37% of the total market in terms of volume. The chocolate market in
India has a production volume of 30,800 tonnes. The chocolate segment is characterized
by high volumes, huge expenses on advertising, low margins, and price sensitivity. The
count segment is the next biggest segment, accounting for 30% of the total chocolate
market. The count segment has been growing at a faster pace during the last three years
driven by growth in perk and Kit-Kat volumes. Wafer chocolates such as Kit-Kat and
perk also belong to this segment. Panned chocolates accounts for 10% of the total
market. The chocolate market today is primarily dominated by Cadbury and Nestle,
together accounting for 90% of the market.
• Growth:
The consumption is impulse led and driven largely by convenient price point. As
economic growth creates more disposable income with more people the consumption is
expected to increase.The Indian chocolate industry may surpass the ₹ 7,500crore mark
by 2015 with the help of growing consumption in the urban and semi-urban areas,
according to the industry chamber Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of
India (ASSOCHAM).
• Vulnerability:
To overcome the barrier and to explore new area for our market we are not start up with
huge amount of infrastructure, costs our machinery would be taken for lease for first few
years of business.Marketing of our products would be on the basis good quality and
healthy products to provide a competitive advantage. We also introduce new ranges of
chocolates in our company with the help of research and development department
probably in next two years of our establishment of firm.
Promotion of our product will be within a nation and outside a nation; because there is
high competition at international market to overcome the treat of promoting our brand at
international level we will use the outsourcing and overcome that barrier.
• Seasonal Factors:
We produce a seasonal line of chocolates which changes each year for season and each
major holiday, thereby making the packaging collectable. Our Premium range of
chocolate also have new flavours introduced primarily for major holidays and festivals
like Diwali, Rakshabandhan, Valentine‘s day, Christmas. We can introduce our new

9. 9
range of chocolates in stated holidays and festivals with fancy art packaging and
according to demand of the customers.
• Technical Factors:
Chocolate-lovers may soon find their chocolate dearer if the problems plaguing the
industry continue. Raw material costs have risen by more than 20 % in the last few
years. Although retail prices have not increased, a rise in input costs will force the
manufacturers to consider a price hike. The Bigger players in the country such as
Cadbury, which leads the ₹2,500 crore chocolate markets in India with a share of 72%,
will find it easier to absorb the surge in input costs as it has products at various price
points in the market, said industry experts. Cadbury may also opt for a price hike, albeit
marginal, if the current trend continues. The Indian Chocolate Industry‘s current Margin
range between 10 and 20%, depending on the price point at which the product is placed.
The input costs in India are under check owing to the 24% decline in the prices of sugar.

10. 10
• Supply and Distribution:
Chocolate needs to be distributed directly, unlike other FMCG products like soaps and
detergents, which can be sold through a wholesale network. 90% of chocolate products
are sold directly to retailers.
Distribution, in the case of chocolates, is a major deterrent to new entrants as the product
has to be kept cool in summer and also has to be adapted to suit local tropical conditions.
Channels of distribution:
Manufacturer
Retailers
• Grocery/ Kirana stores
• Medical stores
• Gift Shops
• Sweet marts/Mithai Shops
• Supermarkets
• Airport shops/Railway stations/Bus stands
• Paan shops
Stockiest /C&F Agent

Wholesaler

11. 11
• Financial Consideration:
After economic liberalization in 1991, major changes have occurred in food habits,
partly on account of rise in gross domestic product (GDP) growth and higher purchasing
power in the hands of the middle-class representing a third of the total population.
Availability of chocolate products has also exploded. A study had projected that sales of
the Indian chocolate industry would rise from $125/$130million in 1998 to $175/$180
million by the year 2000 and to $450 million by the year 2005which actually happened
irrespective of various negative factors. By this we can see rising demand of the
chocolate product in Indian market.
• Anticipated (expected) Changes:
1. To help chocolate industry consultants, chocolate manufacturers and dealers to align
their market-centric strategies.
2. To obtain research based business decision and add weight to presentations and
marketing materials.
3. To gain competitive knowledge of leading players.
4. To avail 10% customization in the report without any extra charges and get the
research data or trends added in the report as per the buyer's specific needs.

IV. Marketing Plan
A. Product Strategy:
India has more than 50% of its population below the age of 25 and more than 65% below
the age of 35.
Age Structure: -
Group- I 0-18 years: 38 % (0.48 billion)
Group-II 19-35 years: 27 % (0.34 billion)
Group-III 36-65 years: 30 % (0.38 billion)
Group-IV 66 above: 5.3% (0.06 billion)
We have made separate plan for separate age groups.
• We will be targeting the first three groups covering 94.7 % of population.
Our strategy is purely penetration into Indian chocolate market.
• We would like to target the population with the same products. No new product.
• In our marketing plan we have suggested collaboration with many institutions&
organization's. We are also outsourcing to prepare marketing plan for college students.
Marketing Plan for Age group 0 to 18
Total Population: 0.483 billion
Studying in school: 0.241 billion
We have traditions of distributing sweets to all school students after Flag hosting on 15th
August (Independence Day) & 26th January (Republic day).
We can tie up with the schools as a distribution chain.In future this can be extended to
Birthday‘s & Children's day.
Uummm has more nutritional value for children's than any other sweet. That we can say
because we added grain granules in our nutritious bar which children‘s prefer not to eat
as whole.
Marketing Plan for Age group 19 to 35
Total Population: 0.343 billion
Best way to catch this population on internet (on Facebook or any other social website).
Most people wishes birthday to their friends & family member on Facebook.
We propose our company tie up with Facebook, So one week before birthday Facebook
will give the reminder.
―Do you want to send chocolates on your friend‘s birthday?‖
All the Cadbury chocolates options will appear.

13. 13
Select the Chocolate, Gift wrapping & Birthday message for your friend & place the
order online. The order will be received in district distributor system; same will be
packed & dispatched by Courier at the delivery address.
Birthday with Chocolates.
Marketing Plan for Age group 36 to 65
Total Population: 0.381 billion
This is majorly working population of India.
This population can be targeted on Birthday at office, for Gifting, on marriages (with
Marriage invitation card & after marriage), on festivals, special occasions & many more
occasions.
Indian Chocolate Industry is a unique mix with extreme consumption patterns, attitudes,
beliefs, income level and spending
Understanding the consumer demands and maintaining the quality will be essential
So we think that bringing online sales(through Facebook) & increasing the institutional
sales(in unique way) would bring prosperity and increase the sales of Uummm‘s as a
whole again resulting in the goodwill of the company.

D) Target Market
Our target market will be divided into three parts that are,
• Upper class
• Middle class
• Lower middle class
That mean all age groups are our target market and we will try to cover them all by
fulfilment of their requirements and demands.
E) Strategic Position & Risk Assessment
Marketing strategy for niche market
Niche "Our niche market would be the children and young generation as chocolate is
mostly liked by children and youngsters."
• Attractive packing: Our Company will focus on packaging to attract children.
• Good quality and healthy chocolates are the factors on which marketing will be done.
E1) Company Strength
The core competencies on which our company will compete are:
• Taste
By consuming the ―Uummm Chocolates‖ flavour begins to fill your mouth the moment
the chocolate begins to melt on your tongue it feel like a rich dark or milk chocolate and
it tastes like pure chocolate rather than cocoa powder. At first there is so much pleasure
in tasting the chocolate, it may be difficult to focus on the specifics of flavour. First
perception the consumer would describe for the chocolate as ―chocolaty‖ and ―Yummy‖.
• Quality
The raw ingredients are of finest quality and also care is taken of the production process;
roasting and crushing the cocoa beans and mixing the cocoa paste with sugar and other
ingredients such as milk. Yummy chocolates are high quality chocolates as they are
shiny brown, break cleanly and are smooth. A yummy chocolate has the sufficient
quantities of cocoa butter and vegetable fat so that it does not become greasy or sticky at
ambient room temperature.

Project Analysis:
If the project preliminary screening suggests that the business is suitable, a detailed analysis
of the project is done.
• Break even analysis
Break even analysis is an important technique to trace the relationship between
cost, revenue and profit at the varying levels of output or sales.
In the break even analysis the break-even point is located at the level or output or sales at
which the net income or profit is zero. At this point, a total cost is equal to total revenue.
Hence the break-even point is the no-profit-no-loss zone.
Formula:
Break Even Point = Fixed Cost/Sales -Variable Cost*100
= 3757800/21539743-955260*100
= 0.18*100
= 18%
In Amount = 1591839*18/100
= 286531

Because would be newly established firm and internal recruitment is not possible. So
that there are some ways to recruit people as per requirement of the organization,
• Advertising—Advertising in newspapers and periodicals. The company needing
manpower advertises details about the job, requirements, salary perquisites, duties and
responsibilities etc. It will give appropriate candidate for the senior post.
• Employment Agencies— we can give the numbers of required man power to the
agencies or the consultancies to find the right candidate for the position.
• Gate Hiring-For the sake of providing employment to the unskilled workers this method
can be used. This involved blue collar workers or daily wages workers.
• Educational Institution— direct recruitment from colleges and universities is prevalent
for the recruitment to higher staff. This can be beneficial to hunt new and fresh talent.
• Leasing— In seasonal production contract workers could be hire to adjust short term
fluctuations in personnel needs, the possibilities of leasing personnel for some specified
period may be considered.
• Labour Contractors— we can also recruited workers through contractors who are
themselves the employees of this organisation.

• The pay given to the skilled persons are on the basis of their level and for the position.
So we pay our semi-skilled as well as skilled employees 8,000 to 10,000 per month
salary respectively.

And we offered 7,000 Rs. Per person to our workers. We will place contract based
labours and we will make changes in our pay structure as per changes made by central or
state government.

We would attract new talent for our organization by various methods like, by offering
safe working conditions, employee benefit programme, emphasizes the benefits such as
flexible working hours etc. these plans are for the middle and functional level .For top
level there are different requirements such as,We introducing creative motivational

would apply to attract employees as well as to the labours in our organization.
The motivation plans for the employees it isnecessary to keep their moral high and our
intention is to create awareness among them so they would be held accountable to their

Production
Manufacturing process
Chocolate production is highly sophisticated computer controlled process with much of
the new specialist machinery. Machines like as chocolate cooling tunnels, enrobing
machines, coating machines, moulding machines.
Chocolate processing: Production flow of chocolate
Cleaning
When seeds arrive to factory they are carefully selected and cleaned by passing through
a bean cleaning machine that removes extraneous materials. Different bean varieties are
blended to produce the typical flavor of chocolate of particular producer. Then the bean
shells are cracked and removed. Crushed cocoa beans are called nibs.
Roasting
The beans are then roasted to develop the characteristic chocolate flavor of the bean in
large rotary cylinders. The roasting lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours at very high
temperatures. The bean colour changes to a rich brown and the aroma of chocolate
comes through.
Grinding
The roasted nibs are milled through a process that liquefies the cocoa butter in the nibs
and forms cocoa mass (or paste). This liquid mass has dark brown colour, typical strong
smell and flavor and contains about 54% of cocoa butter.
Cocoa Pressing
Part of cocoa mass is fed into the cocoa press which hydraulically squeezes a portion of
the cocoa butter from the cocoa mass, leaving "cocoa cakes". The cocoa butter is used in
the manufacture of chocolates; the remaining cakes of cocoa solids are pulverized into
cocoa powders.
Mixing and Refining
Ingredients, like cocoa mass, sugar, cocoa butter, flavorings and powdered or condensed
milk for milk chocolate are blended in mixers to a paste with the consistency of dough
for refining. Chocolate refiners, a set of rollers, crush the paste into flakes that are
significantly reduced in size. This step is critical in determining how smooth chocolate is
when eaten.
Conching
Conching is a flavour development process during which the chocolate is put under
constant agitation. The conching machines, called "conches", have large paddles that
sweep back and forth through the refined chocolate mass anywhere from a few hours to
several days. Conching reduces moisture, drives off any lingering acidic flavours and
coats each particle of chocolate with a layer of cocoa butter. The resulting chocolate has
a smoother, mellower flavour.

31. 31
Tempering and Moulding
The chocolate then undergoes a tempering melting and cooling process that creates
small, stable cocoa butter crystals in the fluid chocolate mass and is deposited into
moulds of different forms. Properly tempered chocolate will result in a finished product
that has a glossy, smooth appearance.
Cooling
The moulded chocolate enters controlled cooling tunnels to solidify the pieces.
Depending on the size of the chocolate pieces, the cooling cycle takes between 20
minutes to two hours. From the cooling tunnels, the chocolate is packaged for delivery to
retailers and ultimately into the hands of consumers.
