Industry Structure: 

Consumer Electronics: 

The Indian Electronics Industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the Indian economy riding on the economic growth and rising income levels that India has been experiencing in the past few years. The largest segment being the Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances Segment. The consumer durable market has seen a proliferation of brands and product categories in recent years. 

 
The Indian, consumer electronics products and household appliances industry underwent significant change when multinational companies entered the domestic market in the early 1990s, following the introduction of new government policies. These multinational companies have been generally aggressive in launching their products. 
 
The Year 2006-07 witnessed continuing growth in the consumer electronics industry. The total production of consumer electronics was projected to increase to over Rs. 200000.000 millions during the year 2006-07. 

 

The consumer electronics and home appliances industry can be broadly categorized into the following segments: 
 
1. The consumer electronics products segment comprising of televisions, video products and home entertainment products regarded as Brown goods; 

 

2. Home Appliances segment comprising of white goods such as washing machines refrigerators, air conditioners etc.; and  

 
3. Small Domestic Appliances comprising of vaccum cleaners, water purifiers, mixers, irons, heaters etc. 
 
The key products in the Indian consumer electronics products and household appliances industry are colour televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, washing machines and microwave ovens. 

 
The key growth, drivers of the industry are: 

·          One of the fastest growing economies in the world leading to higher disposable incomes and buying power; 

·         Penetration levels in all categories are extremely low at present; 

·         Increased propensity to live better in the burgeoning middle class population; 

·         Attractive consumer finance deals available easily; 

·         Electrification in rural India and increasing rural aspiration; 

·         Trend towards nuclear families creating more households; 

·         Shorter product life cycle in consumer homes; and 

 
Entry point products are becoming cheaper and more affordable for first time buyers. 


1. Colour Televisions: 

Televisions continue to be the mainstay of the consumer electronics industry in India With the transition slowly occurring to newer technologies such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Plasma Display Panel(PDP). Upgradation in technology coupled with a paradigm transition in the attitudes and preferences of Indian consumers, has resulted in a shift from conventional TVs to Flat TVs and from Flat TVs to Slim and Ultra Slim TVs. 
 
The growth in demand in this sector has been driven by a reduction in the price differential between 21" conventional colour television and flat colour television, and increasing consumer preference for flat colour televisions. Undergoing metamorphosis, the Flat Panel Display (FPD) market is turning from low volume, high pricing and low consumer awareness to affordable pricing and desire for enhanced technology and cinematic viewing experience. Higher disposable incomes, greater aspirations, and younger demographic consumers, have increased demands for the latest technology high-end television market. This crossover is expected to accelerate as consumers do not look upon consumer durables as items of luxury any longer but an integral part of their lives. 
 
Plasma TV is finding more popularity among corporate buyers, shopping malls and airports, where there is public viewing. 
 
The Indian CTV market is predominantly a small to medium segment comprising of 14", 20" and 21" segment.

 

The 21" CTV segment is growing rapidly. 

 
Videocon continues to emerge as one of the leading players along with other key players being LG, Samsung, Onida, Sony and Philips. 

 
2. DVDs/VCDs: 

The DVD player market has continued to capture the attention of major players during the year. The major factor for the increase in sales of DVDs has been the sharp decline in the prices, thereby bridging the price gap between DVDs and VCDs. VCD consumers have been upgrading to DVD category.

 

With DVD players and discs becoming more affordable for the consumer, the segment is all set to replicate the kind of growth it has had on the global front in the Indian market. 

 

Business Outlook: 

The consumer electronics industry is very dynamic and new products are launched on continual basis. Consumer demand is ever increasing and companies are using state-of the-art technologies to stay in the competition. The fast evolving consumer electronics segment is driving innovation of new technologies, standards and products. The progress of consumer electronics from standalone, single function appliances into converged, complex, upgradeable, network-connected devices poses a serious challenge for product developers. 

 
In this light, the Company proposes to: 

·         Expand its product portfolio to cater to the increasing consumer demand; 

·         Intelligent use of the embedded systems to tap the major transformation in the consumer electronics industry; 

·         Creativity and time-to-market are the decisive factors that will aid to sustain leadership. The Company to focus on new, flexible, low-cost development solutions that will help address customer demand for innovative electronic Products at lower cost; and  Render professional services to consumers.

Shri Nandlal Madhavlal Dhoot, the founder of the Videocon Group, completed his education in Ahmednagar and Pune. He was a successful sugarcane and cotton cultivator. As a next logical step to vertical integration, he boldly took upon an entrepreneurial venture by importing machinery from Europe to set up the Gangapur Sakhar Karkhana (Sugar Mill) in 1955. Those were the times when the village did not even have electricity. Thus was unleashed an Industrial Revolution.


The die was cast. Over the years, Nandlalji's path-breaking attitude found expression in a myriad ways, earning him the well-deserved reputation of the pioneer of industrial activity in Marathwada India.


In early 80's Nandlalji initiated his three sons - Venugopal, Rajkumar and Pradeep into business. Through a technical tie up with Toshiba Corporation of Japan, he launched India's first world-class color Television: Videocon. Today, Videocon is household name across the nation- India's No. 1 brand of Consumer Electronics and Home Appliances, trusted by over 50 million people to improve their quality of life.
