EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The study was done for Titan Watches. Today Titan is the market eader of
watch industry in !ndia. The "ro#ect was undertaken to study the market anaysis of
Titan Watches and it$s co %rand &onata. !t incudes market share anaysis of a Titan
Watches' and %rand awareness and %rand "reference. ( deaer sur)ey was aso
conducted for studyin* the com"etition in watch market.
The customers were aimed at understandin* of their "erce"tions and how
much aware a%out Titan + &onata.!t aso anaysis the "urchase decision and %rand
awareness of )arious to"%rand watches.
The sur)ey has re)eaed certain facts are accessed a""ro"riate
recommendations are made %ased on the study.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Time' the ,ourth -imension "oundy infuences a as"ects of ife. eo"e are
constanty aware of the "assin* of time in their daiy acti)ities. Without the a%iity to
synchroni/e comin*s and *oin*s at schoo and work' com"e societies woud
sim"y %e una%e to function. nti a few hundred years a*o there was no way to
te time more accuratey than the nearest hour. The introduction of accurate
time"ieces "ayed a ma#or"art in the de)eo"ment of modern ci)ii/ation.
Watches and cocks are the most common de)ices for measurin* time. The
,irst"orta%e timekee"er' the watch was de)eo"ed shorty after 1500. With recent
(d)ances in automation and eectronics' modern watches and cocks ha)e
ecome ess e"ensi)e and more accurate.
Watches were de)eo"ed rather than cocks. The first "orta%e timekee"er or
watch was "roduced durin* the enaissance. arier there were mechanica watches.
(thou*h mechanica watches are sti manufactured in a r * e u a n t i t i e s ' they
are increasin*y %ein* su""anted %y eectronic and eectrica time kee"er. These
newer de)ises are chea"er easier to manufacture' and considera%y more accurate.
!ntroduced in 1953' the funnin* fork watch was the first commerciay
&uccessfu eectronic watch. !nstead of a mechanica' it had a %atterydri)en funnin*
fork.

The story of the watch in !ndia *oes %ack a on* way to 1957. andit
Cawaharaehru' durin* his )isit to Ca"an' recei)ed a watch as a *ift ins"irin* him
to %rin* watches coser home in his country. This dream %ecame a reaity in
1961 when the first watch factory was commissioned in !ndia %y ehru in 1961.
This was the watch di)ision of @AT td.
:iti/en' the "o"uar Ca"anese manufacturer' e)inced interest to train seect
!ndian "eo"e at their watch manufacturin* "ant in Ca"an. The year 1962 saw
the manufacture of the first com"onent and then %e*an the sow %ut steady
*rowth of watch manufacture in the country. The first watch mode
manufactured %y @AT was the Canata mode' which eists e)en today' was
*ifted %y andit ehru to the senior most em"oyee of the com"any. The
net 10 years saw the !ndianmade watches car)e a niche for themse)es in the
market. 15000 to 20000 mechanica watches were made e)ery month.
&mu**in* was on a rise durin* the 1970s and the 80s "eriod. The counter
this the watch manufacturin* acti)ities were %eefed u". (n assem%y "ant
was set u" and the conce"t of a mother "ant with other units in )aious states
was"ioneered.
The eary 80s were a "eriod of technoo*ica re)oution with drastic
chan*es in tastes and "references. The inte*rated chi" was in)ented in the &
and di*itas were in demand and - watches fooded the market. Ca"anese
com"anies took o)er the manufacturin* of :- for di*ita watches. Buart/
technoo*y had "icked u" and there was a shift in focus from mechanica to
uart/ watches.1987 saw the esta%ishment of Titan watches' which was formed

The Tatas took two decisions that they wi manufacture ony uart/ ;anao* and

manufacture watches in a wide )ariety of desi*ns and"rices.
Today the !ndian market reuirement for watches is we o)er 20 miion watches

ELEMENTS OF INDUSTRYSTRUCTURE
et us anay/e the industry structure in the 1980s when Tata$s decided to make a
foray in the watch market. We use Aichae orters 5 forces mode to carry out the
industry anaysis.
!ndu s try & tructu r eE The industry consisted of the or*ani/ed se*ment which
was dominated %y @AT' and the unor*ani/ed se*ment consistin* of sma time oca
"ayers and the *ray market. @AT' the timekee"ers to the nation' manufactured ony
mechanica watches. The @AT watches fufied ony the functiona needs of a
watch. &ma time"ayers acked the nationwide reach that @AT had. They aso did not
ha)e reia%e su""ort network. The *ray market was fooded with uart/ and di*ita
watches from Ca"an. Thou*h the *ray market did not ha)e the su""ort network their
sturdy "erformance and their ooks made the Ca"anese watches )ery attracti)e
"urchases.
u yersE The "enetration of watches within !ndia was ow' therefore there was a
hu*e unta""ed market. The %uyers wanted watches that offered more than #ust the
functiona %enefit. There was aso a atent demand for uart/ anao* and di*itas
watches that @AT was una%e to fufi as it manufactured ony mechanica watches.
The %risk saes of wiin* to "ay a "remium for watches with *ood desi*n and
"erformance.
& u ""iersE @AT had fuy inte*rated o"eration for mechanica watches. There
was no conce"t of ha)in* )endors in the watch industry. &ince the su""ier$s roe in
this industry was )ery imited they did not ha)e stron* %ar*ainin* "ower.
12
7/25/2019 research project on titan watch
13/22
&u%st itutesE The uart/ technoo*y had %ecome "o"uar a o)er the word.
Buart/ watches from Ca"an had aready %eaten the &wiss in their own *ame in the sities
and the se)enties. The &wiss had refused to em%races the new uart/
Technoo*y and they had suffered %ecause of their adherence to mechanica watches.
@AT was makin* the same mistake in !ndia. &ince the im"orts were not freey
"ermitted' there was no immediate"ossi%iity of some com"any enterin* into the watch
market %y assem%in* im"orted"arts ;assem%y of com"etey knocked down kits=.
ew entrantsE The demand for watches in the *ray market indicated that there was
s"ace in the market for a new entrant who woud "ro)ide watches with *ood desi*n and
reia%e "erformance. The new entrant coud score o)er @AT with *ood desi*n'
o)er the *ray market %y "ro)idin* de"enda%e after saes ser)ice' and o)er the
oca "ayers %y esta%ishin* nationwide distri%ution network.

CONCLUSION
enty of different %rands of watches are a)aia%e in the market. :onsiderin*
the market share of those %rands Titan watches stand first' it is the ma#or sharehoder in
the market. !ts main features are )ariety in desi*n' different "rice cate*ory' etc.
To increase its )isi%iity' Titan :om"any can s"onsor e)ents simiar to fashion shows in
which a atest desi*ns aunched are dis"ayed. This woud ha)e muti"ier effect as the
atest desi*ns aunched %y the com"any *et noticed %y different se*ments of the customers
in )aried ways. Tie Hu" with ,A radio channes for reminder ad)ertisements and informin*
customers a%out )arious saes "romotion offers from timetotime.
The customers in the different a*e *rou"s and in the different income
*rou"s consider the )arious features ike "rice' desi*n' and the %rands. Their criteria
of seectiondiffer as their incomeIa*eI and education )aries.
Aost of the res"ondents ;33D= use Titan watches. The second %rand that has
si*nificant num%er of customers is @AT watches. !t co)ers the 19D of the tota
customers. The other im"ortant %rands of watches that the res"ondents use are :iti/en'
Time' :assic' &onata etc.
To im"ro)e the market share of the Titan watches they ha)e to em"hasise on
