Denim wear, while consumption in India and the business itself changes almost daily with new changes and new brands, it is alsopart of its measures by determining the size, character and makeup, and it also requires a deep market research study.

India's top jeanswear market
Jeanswear trends in India really began in the eighties with the establishment and the movement of brands such asAvis, Wings, Flying Machine, UFO, along with international brands such as FU's. With the realistic prices and a "Good jeans for less" was set in Newport, the mass psychology in the mid-nineties. The growth in the domestic market jeans and leisure wear draws a growing number of multinational companies in this segment.
With the increasingly fashion-conscious Indian youth and buying power consistently on the rise, making life easier for the rapidly growing"Premium" category jeanswear brands. On the other hand, has been hard times for other segments of the company - one of the underperformers will be a mass market jeanswear brand.
Super-premium segment (Rs 2000 +) - brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Hugo Boss, AN Jeans, Rocky S Jeans, jeans Rathore
Premium segment (Rs 1000-2000) - Pepe, Levi's, Lee, Wrangler
Middle segment (Rs 500-1000) cover-Most Indian brands, both central and Premium Groups
Economy Segment(Rs. 300-500)-Ruf n Tuf, Newport, Impact, Thunder, and in the warehouse labels such as SRC and Westside 2fast4u, the prices between Rs. 375 to Rs 600
At the lower end of the unorganized and jeanswear market is the price, as assumed at Rs.300. Where, then cover the majority of Indian brands, both medium and premium categories.
In the year 2001/02, approximately 34 million units were sold, jeans, a market value of Rs1363 crore, the balance sheet. The super-premium brand jeans was almost not there in theMarket (about Rs.3 crore), up to 2001/02, there were only a few companies. Accounted for at this time, the economy segment (Rs.300-500) was at around Rs.500 crore. The premium (Rs.1000-2000) and middle segment (reach Rs.500-1000) to Rs.150 crore and Rs.400 crore respectively. Until that date, to consumption per pair of jeans under the brand Rs.1000 mainly as an upper limit.
Then observe a clear pattern in the period of 2002-03 increased the premium and middle segment ofapproximately 20 and 15 percent. In other words, we can say, jeans above Rs.1000 price were more than those sold.
The economy segment rose by around 10 percent, while the total size of the market grew by around 10.8 per cent compared to 2001-02, with 37 million pairs of jeans just raking over Rs.1500 crore turnover in 2002-03.
The report shows that, of all price ranges, the premium segment, a large amount of visible and perform faster growth. During thePeriod of 2003-2004, the premium segment increased 25 percent done with a market value of Rs.225 crore.
The economy segment has a steady growth at 10 percent, with a coverage over 15 million units in the Rs.300-500 Inexpensive conversion to the shelves of shops. With the fastest growth in the premium segment, together with an increase in high-quality super-premium sectors (30,000 pieces Rs.9 causes) crore turnover to Rs.1690 crore with 11.9 per cent, the total reachedJeanswear company also increased one percentage point. This key improvement of the super-premium price range is amazing within a few years. In 1999, when a brand was introduced at Rs.1100, it was tested as a "super-premium," while at the same price, so would the same product in 2003 to build hard to premium segment.
For the years 2004-2005, the study projected a further rapid growth for jeans than one category, at around 12.5 percent.
Once again, from the PremiumSegment, the fastest growth is likely to remain despite the growth at 25 percent. The middle segment was projected to receive the period of 2002-2003 - at 15 percent and contributed over Rs.608 crore from eight million units. The economy segment is also carried out steady increase - 10 percent - with almost 17 million units shifted to retail shelves.
Around 43 million pairs of jeans are expected to be sold during the period of the year 2004 to 2005, with men's clothing obtained with theMost - 76 percent to 17 percent of the women wear and kids wear at 7 percent. By the end of the current fiscal year would witness the jeanswear in India Review of Rs.1902 crore.
In addition to women's wear, denim wear, while the scenario of the market brand for kids wear market potential. For children, in addition to only clothes may cause significantly more in denim accessories and functional products.
However, there remains some doubt as to how muchwith the attention given to 10-15 years old segment. This states that a consumer is not in the core jeanswear brands' target fit - will be 16-25 - and is not quite ready, "children treated. For denim, there is a large base in this age group who like structured adopt commodity that is associated with different preferences.
In 1997 as the base year for the price range measures taken. Then, the super-premium price range of Rs.800-plus non -are presented, as it is not too many deals fall outside this range. However, we were surprised find that now the super-premium range can be defined in a simple series of Rs.2000 plus. The time is changed in such a short time. It is a great learning for us all and especially for international trademarks.
During the assessment on the part of the entry strategies for several international brands and one of the most difficult task is to determine the right price points. There are many aspects --Parity with international prices, global positioning, the image perceived in the new market and the expected position in the emerging market a connection to established brands. And most of the time, is a combination of these parameters and their weights used to identify with certain others, not likely to consider certain factors. Unlike developed markets with established or it does add a lot of space on the premium end, once the brand is established and people are well informed about the differentiation,and the only factor that has to keep in mind is that the Indian market growth is fueled and driven by inflation.
The entrance of the premium price points in the denim market is also determined by the fact that the market in the delayed phase in the years 1999-2000. At this time the marks were required to present more value-added content products to consumers' views of denim to create in any other way. In contrast to weigh "the worker clothing, jeans with embroidery and innovative washes, styling and cutsit was found that more than fashionable apparel.
This change in rank allows jeans run about newer and higher price points. And the giant unlock the door for many international brands to aspire to higher prices ahead points through the creation of more goods. Support to the recognition of denim wear, while as fashionable clothing fascinates many Indian designers to show their strong presence. And you add more goods to the premium and super premium ranges.
The economy and lowerPrice margins were apparently in progress unnoticed jeanswear brand. In India there are only a few exceptions, such as Newport tried in the mid-nineties, Ruf n Tuf, and the time (on the Arvind Brands and Pantaloon Retail joint effort) to collect this large and untapped market opportunity.
The jean brands for their continued existence have found a break at the premium end, the actual speed, where denim is one that is still untouched. The approximations are that, at a pricePoint Rs.300 for jeans that could market the size of Rs.2000 crore ie larger value compared to the entire market currently exists. However, the biggest challenge for everyone in the entire supply chain - be it the distribution or retail outlets in front-end or the production of highly efficient at the other end.
Consequently, allowing the expansion of modern retail formats as large department stores and numerous shopping centers run exclusive brand stores, whereProducts requires a different stage of the environment and service levels to demonstrate, test, and buying, which until today, was the strong support of the development of premium-end look at a great one. The situation seems to be more gradual for premium-end brands with the constant growth projection in the retail sector.
The markets seem driven to prove that the jeans could soon be soon only for a further decline, but they give the impression that with all these newProducts and innovations that can be premium brands in a position to be much better phase.
(Given the manufacturing point of view whether the fabric or clothing) as Arvind Mills and Mills have demonstrated their competence in production and have received the greatest amount of respect as a manufacturer capable of presenting the cheapest basic denim fabric in the world. Although, India will in fact not efficient jeans laying down the procedures as VF Corp. (owner of Lee and Nautica Jeans) haveother parts of the world.
Commissioned by the marketing and sales point of view as a mass market of jeans, the complex and differentiated nature of the distribution chain does not allow many good choices and went, and also has many perceptions expressed in their push. Although you want a lot more effort from logistics providers and the rapid development in retail formats like Big Bazaar, many problems can be eliminated and can be a great potential for jeansopened.
To supply to urban and semi urban masses: another target group, the products
At the rear end, although there are certainly periods of markets in urban and semi urban masses from the large proportion of rural and semi-rural markets further target to deliver the products. Since the practical requirement of jeans can be very different from what is required, the masses of the urban market "will vary, it is a challenging task from the basic product does so itself. Whetheris waterproofing, anti-bacterial or is terminated, when considering the size of the market, which are required Jeans for the rural market, more and more research and development activities, and develop the market. It is the efforts dscl (Hariyali), ITC Ltd (Sagar) and Godrej (Adhaar) met in rural retail, the setup in the rural market may soon become much easier to handle. This may put up the doors to open up the largest untapped market in the world.
In the end, you wait for theOpportunity is a premium brand, it is surprising that all potential segments are in fact already in position to the attention and can be easily molded. Although, the absent part is a confident company that all these segments together, and moving to put this potential into real business.
