Market analysis
The savory snacks market in India experienced very strong growth during the review period (2012-2016). However, the
growth of the market is expected to decelerate over the forecast period (2016-2021).
A large population added with rising snacking habit is driving the Indian savory snacks market. Local manufacturers such
as Haldirams Group and Balaji Foods recorded substantial growth. This is due to these manufacturers are also
expanding their reach in rural markets by offering small packaged snacks. It is expected that the continuous launch of
new products by manufacturers while maintaining stable prices will also contribute to the growth of the market over the
forecast period.
The Indian savory snacks market had total revenues of $5,472.2m in 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate
(CAGR) of 24.4% between 2012 and 2016. In comparison, the South Korean and Chinese markets grew with CAGRs of

value of $1,828.7m in 2016, equating to 33.4% of the total market value.
The performance of the market is forecast to decelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 8.9% for the five-year period 2016
- 2021, which is expected to drive the market to a value of $8,373.9m by the end of 2021. Comparatively, the South

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
The savory snacks market will be analyzed taking savory snack producers as players. The key buyers will be taken as
retailers including supermarkets, hypermarkets, and other smaller retailers, and manufacturers of ingredients and
packaging as the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 9: Forces driving competition in the savory snacks market in India, 2016
High operating and exit costs drive up rivalry in this market, although the larger players also tend to be fairly well
diversified, alleviating this pressure somewhat. Moreover, strong growth of the Indian savory snacks market during the
review period decreased rivalry to an extent.
Suppliers in the savory snacks market range from agricultural producers to machinery manufacturers, and vary in size
accordingly. Market players can integrate backwards, but farmers also integrate forwards relatively frequently, nullifying
the resultant downward pressure on supplier power.
For new entrants, the existence of large, well-established incumbents presents a significant barrier to entry, although it is
increasingly possible to enter the market on a smaller scale with a more 'artisan' product. The primary reasons for
consumers to choose a snack are enjoyment, indulgence, and convenience. Recent innovation in sweets and snacks
has focused on creating permissible indulgence. Producers are aiming to differentiate by using natural, healthy and
sustainably sourced ingredients.
Products in this market face a strong threat of substitution by other snack foods, confectionery and beverages, largely
because switching costs for buyers tend to be low, and retailers are heavily influenced by end consumer demand.
Despite the significant size of the retailers, buyer power is however limited, as strong branding influences consumer
purchase decisions and retailers must follow consumer demand while stocking their shelves.

Buyer power
Figure 10: Drivers of buyer power in the savory snacks market in India, 2016
In contrast to many countries, the major buyers in the Indian savory snacks market are not supermarket chains, but
convenience stores, which account for 61.0% of the total distribution. This creates a more fragmented marketplace,
wherein a large number of small buyers wield scant financial muscle, and can marshal only limited bargaining power
when it comes to negotiating with market players. Losing a buyer of this sort is likely to have little impact on a market
player's revenues. All of this undermines buyer power.
Hypermarkets and supermarkets still constitute a significant distribution channel for savory snacks. Chains such as these
usually occupy a fairly strong bargaining position due to their large financial reserves and broad distribution networks. By
comparison to independent retailers, losing the custom of a supermarket chain can have a very significant impact on the
fate of a market player. This increases buyer power.
Furthermore, savory snack products usually constitute just one of a wide range of items sold by most food retailers. This
reduces the importance of this product to buyers, increasing buyer power.
On the other hand, end consumers are highly influenced by branding in this market, and retailers are compelled to stock
the brands most popular with their customers. Strong branding therefore weakens buyer power in this market.
Overall, buyer power is assessed to be moderate.

Supplier power
Figure 11: Drivers of supplier power in the savory snacks market in India, 2016
Suppliers in the savory snacks market include agricultural commodity traders, agricultural producers, and manufacturers
of ingredients, packaging, and factory automation equipment.
Market players generally buy perishable raw materials such as potatoes direct from the growers, which are often
relatively small businesses that rely on market players for a large proportion of their revenues. This results in weaker
supplier power. However, vegetable oils and grains such as maize are more commonly provided by commodity traders
and these are often large multinationals, such as Bunge, and wield substantial negotiating power, resulting in a
corresponding increase in supplier power.
While market players rarely integrate backwards into farming, some have already become active in commodity trading; a
trend that weakens supplier power. Similarly, many market players manufacture ingredients such as flavorings.
Conversely, some farmers integrate forward, particularly with artisanal products.
While consumer preferences must be catered for, players can mitigate the impact of changing raw material prices by
diversifying their product mix - for example, producing both potato chips and corn chips.
Leading players must maintain product quality if they are to maintain their brand equity in the long term. Moreover, their
need to source raw materials of appropriate quality tend to strengthen those suppliers who are able to provide the
necessary products. However, lack of differentiation in commodity inputs weaken supplier power.
Overall, supplier power is assessed to be moderate.

New entrants
Figure 12: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the savory snacks market in
India, 2016
The savory snacks market is dominated by large, often international players. Such companies have developed extensive
product portfolios, and back brands with large marketing and advertising budgets. A new entrant is likely to find it difficult
to compete with established players effectively, although some smaller players have succeeded by emphasizing
artisanal production techniques or unusual ingredients. Alternative production techniques, such as popping or baking are
increasingly being explored by manufacturers to tap growing consumer demand for such products. With growing
concerns over obesity, portion control is gaining further traction and driving demand for smaller, more convenient
packaging.
Gaining access to distribution channels may also be difficult, as retail space is limited and new entrants must persuade
stores to replace established brands with unproven new products. Furthermore, if a new entrant is deemed to be
encroaching on an established player's market share, there is a high likelihood that established players will retaliate
through price reductions and loss-leader promotions.
Due to health concerns, there are various regulations in place. Regulation of the food market in India is the responsibility
of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), and is concerned with ensuring that products should be
safe to eat, produced under sanitary conditions, contain no harmful substances and to be truthfully labelled. The
necessity to comply with these makes it harder for newcomers to enter the market. There are also restrictions in
advertising of snacks, especially if advertising is directed towards children.
The Indian savory snacks market has seen a strong growth during the review period, which will work to encourage
prospective new entrants. Overall, the likelihood of new entrants is moderate.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 13: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the savory snacks market in India,
2016
Retailers must cater to consumer demand, and so savory snacks are threatened by many substitutes, most notably other
snack items such as confectionery, fruit, or beverages. These products retail for similar prices, and so retailers are able
to switch their focus toward them relatively cheaply: unless they are tied into a contract with the market player, a retailer
may for example decide to stock more confectionery, and fewer potato chips.
A growing awareness of the health issues associated with snacks containing high quantities of sugar, salt or fat works to
push people away from many traditional snacks and toward healthier substitutes such as fruit.
Substitutes might also present further benefits over savory snacks; candy bars for instance occupy significantly less shelf
space than potato chips, allowing retailers to display a larger range and higher value of stock across the same shelf-
space. This is of course not always the case: fruits, for example, often require chilled display cabinets, which increases
storage costs.
Overall, there is a strong threat from substitutes.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 14: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the savory snacks market in India, 2016
Leading competitors in this market generally tend to be large, often multi-national, diversified corporations, such as
PepsiCo and ITC Limited. These large companies dominate, with PepsiCo alone holding 30.6% share in 2016. Artisanal
companies do exist and often operate in a market niche, offering products such as hand-cooked root vegetable chips,
although it should be noted these companies are often subject to acquisition by their larger competitors, if they
successfully establish themselves. This environment tends to foster an increased sense of rivalry.
Moreover, market players' similarity, the relative ease with which they can increase output, high operating and exit costs
due to the specialized nature of manufacturing equipment, and low switching costs for buyers, all exacerbate rivalry
further.
On the other hand, rivalry is toughened by the diversified nature of the larger businesses in the savory snacks market.
These companies often deal in substitutes such as confectionery, and operate in a number of different geographies. For
example, PepsiCo sells a variety of food and beverage products and sells its products all around the world. It should be
noted that the benefits of this diversification are not often shared by the market's smaller players.
Very strong market growth tends to ease the competition to some extent. Overall, rivalry in this market is assessed as
moderate.
