THBHEALTHANGLE
In the early 2000s, the Company set up new research and development facilities with a view to improving the
attributes of the existing Nestl6 products to make them healthier. In March 2005, the Maggi brand took to the health
route with the launch of Vegetable AttaNoodles. According to NIL (Nestle Indian Limited), Vegetable,4//a Noodles
are healthier as they are made ofwhole wheat flour instead of Maida (refrnedwheat) and also because they contain real
vegetables.

HEALTH CI.AIMS CONTROVERSY

In October 2008, Nestl6 aired an advertisement. The advertisement made false claims that the noodles would "help to
buildstrongmuscles and bones".The BritishAdvertising StandardsAuthority saidthatthe advertisement didnotabide
by the new EU (European Union) consumer protection legislation, by which advertisers have to provide proof of
health claims. However, according to Nestle Consumer Services, Maggi Noodles contain the additives E150d and
p;627. EI50d is sometimes made from maize. "The ingredientflavour enhancer- E627 (Sodium Guanylate) is made
from vegetarian source, i.e. from Tapioca starch. It is not preparedfrom any non-vegetarian item. " According to Nestle
Consumer service, Maggi contains Protein & Calcium. 85g of Maggi noodles meet 79o/o RDA. (Recommended
rlietary allowances) ofprotein forchildren (13Yofor adults) & 21% RDA. of calcium forboth children & adults.

rttaggi Noodles. To gauge the success of the brand, check out the following it has among the Kids, there is even an
lrkut/Facebook community of Maggi Lovers. Initially, Nestle tried to position the noodles'brand on the platform of
ronvenience, targeting working women. However, it found that sales were not picking up despite heavy promotion-
lesearch then show-ed that kids were the largest consumers of the brand. Realizing this, Nestle repositioned the brand
owards kids using sales promotions and smart advertising. However, the fact lies that even if the target market
were
single men and women. The

convenientfood options", says Bansalu. One key reason is the ease & speed with which it can be cooked. Growtlr
opportunities for noodles are not restricted to urban areas alone, as several FMCG companies have increased their
reach in the rural markets as well. Nestle is keeping thebtzz alive in both the urban as well as rural markets througli
frequent launches of new flavours at lower price points. The Swiss major obviously wants to have its footprint in botl:
India as well as Bharat. In the last two years, when the urban markets cooled down, the rural markets continued tc'
remain buoyant. High support prices for all large crops, the National Rural Employment Guarantee programme, and
the farm loan waiver have ensured that there is good purchasing power in the rural mafkets. This has begun to drir.e
FMCG companies to villages and small towns.
Analysts highlight the fact of changing snacking needs of people as the concept of 'healthy snacking' is becomingr
popular in India, and consumers are opting for healthier food choices in order to stay fit. Moreover, the factor o1i
increasing competition in the snack food space has also affected Maggi's shares, challenging its long-lived monopoil
However, Maggi's parental company Nestle is planning to expand its operations in the food market with healthier
snack options, and an investment worth { 1,300 crore has been made in the instant noodles' category. Along withr
Maggi, other new entrants have geared up to launch a wide range of healthy snack food packaged in attractive wraps tc
lure more and more consumers. Hence, Maggi will face a cut- throat competition in the coming future from nou
onwards.

CONCLUSION
Good quality and cheaper products can be pushed in the market with systematic strategy and network. Maggi has
around 86.5 per cent market share, down from around 90 per cent a year ago. But private brands like Future Group's
Tasty Treat andAditya Birla Retails'Feasters are making theirpresence felt. Devendra Chawla, Head, Private Labels.
Food and FMCG, Pantaloon Retail, says, "We ltave seen an excellent growthfor our private brand".In Future Group
stores, Maggi is the No 1 sold brand, while Tasty Treat is in the second slot6.
There have been, at different points of time, different competitors who attempted to replacdMaggi from the breakfast
lunch/ dinner bowl, but have, in the long run, failed to do so. Competitors like Top Ramen and others are good for the
occasional change in taste, but it is Maggi that still remains a staple on the dinner table.
Maggi has slumped 5 places to a lowly 33rd position. There's a bigger reason for the fall and that is its unsatisfactorl
performance during the past year with extensions like atta noodles and Maggi Rice Noodles with three variants. These
are efforts by Maggi to affix the health tag to its already tasty image, but the consumer stili has to develop a taste for the
newvariantst.
The company needs to take a number of steps to increase its market share:
1. Conduct promotional campaigns in schools in small towns.
2. Focus on creating distinctive image, based on twin benefits of " Instant " and " Healthy " .

3. Maggi had to offer Pasta as the Indian Pasta market is seeing a huge growth.
4. Maggi must adopt a low price strategy to retain the price conscious segment.
5. Maggi should extend the reach to the rural areas by providing additional offers.

QUESTIONS FOR DTSCUSSTON

Q 1. Discuss the strategies undertaken by Nestle India Ltd. to create and establish a new product category.
Q 2. What measures were undertaken in sustaining the image of a popular brand (Maggi noodles) and the reason
behind the brand extension ofthe same?
Q 3. What strategies were adopted by Nestle India Ltd. in repositioning Maggi noodles?
