1.1 INTRODUCTION
Air Condi t ioning is one of the most impor tant invent ion of the 20 t h century
without which t ransatlantic f l ights , huge servers and many other invent ions
would have been hindered. Modern Air -Condi t ioning helps us control the
temperature of the environment and deals with not just heating and cooling, but
also with dehumidificat ion, humidificat ion, and venti lat ion, s teri l iation of air
and filtration of air.
Currently the world Air-Condit ioning industry is valued at !"#$0 bil l ion and
growth rate is around %&. 'uring the f iscal year 20(0- 20(( the industry had
surreal growth of ()& in spite of the global economic meltdown and *uroone
crisis. Asia +acific alone con tributes to %%& of total AC industry, Apart from
sales Asia s tands as the wor ld hub for Air-Condit ioner product ion and China
produces over 0& of the Ai r-Condit ioners.
/he main dr iv ing fac tors worldwide are r ai sing d isposable income among
consumers in developing marets , 1rowth in infrastructure, demand for higher
energy eff icient solutions and replacement reuirements in 3orth America and
*urope.
1.2: Objective of the Project
/o compare competi tors in 4nverter range of air condit ioner w.r . t price,
salient features and installation it.
/o identify 5lue "tar 6s current maret position.
/o study about customers buying preference between dealer 7 retailers
/o study on factors that influence customers buying decisions
/o s tudy the var ious models of ai r condi t ioner 6 s that are displayed at
retail outlets 7 dealer show rooms
1.3: Scope of the project
*lectrical durables including Air-conditioners sales can be directly correlated to
