Field Project Report: A Comprehensive Marketing Analysis of Hindustan


Unilever and its Competitors

Introduction
The FMCG sector is a cornerstone of the global economy, driving daily consumer
consumption across diverse categories such as Food & Beverages, Personal &
Household Care, and Healthcare. This project delves into an in-depth marketing
analysis of Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL)—a titan in the FMCG industry—and
its competitors, examining their strategies and market positioning in these three
critical categories.

HUL, known for its extensive portfolio of brands like Lipton, Dove, Surf Excel, and
Horlicks, is a pioneer in innovation, sustainability, and customer-centric
approaches. Competing with major players like Nestlé, Procter & Gamble (P&G),
and ITC, the company operates in a fiercely competitive landscape, making it a
prime subject for marketing analysis.

This project seeks to analyze 10 distinct products of HUL and one competitor
product for each category using frameworks such as:

 STP Analysis (Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning): Understanding how


brands identify and cater to consumer segments.
 SWOT Analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats): Evaluating
internal and external factors influencing performance.
 PESTLE Analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal,
Environmental): Assessing macro-environmental influences on business
strategies.

Moreover, the report identifies Unique Selling Points (USPs) or value


propositions, providing insights into pricing, packaging distinctiveness, and
distribution strategies. By comparing HUL’s products with their competitors, this
analysis highlights what differentiates market leaders and enhances consumer
loyalty.

This project not only provides a robust understanding of marketing strategies but
also offers actionable insights for businesses to thrive in the FMCG sector. It sets
the stage for exploring the interplay between innovation, consumer behavior, and
competitive positioning in a dynamic market.
