- AgendaThe following slides cover the Brief company overview and their objectives followed by the necessary assumptions considered before we present the proposal. We will discuss about the external and internal forces that impact the
- Assumptions considered for the case:All Legal Governmentregulations have been fulfilled and ZTE has approvals to launch the Mobile handsets in India.Indian Demographics have been studied and assumptions about the population and Handset market considered wherever necessary.ZTE wants to launch the Handsets for High end mobile users and at the location which are 3G enabled along with normal entry level handsets for rural areas.
- Statistics show that Mobile Industry has shown tremendous growth crossing 100 million mobile handsets that were issued in India in 2009. Following are the forces that can impact the entry of a new Mobile handset vendor.Barrier to Entry – LowThis has been assumed that legal barriers to entry i.e. Government regulations and approvals have been met and granted by the Indian Government.New Entrants/substitutes – HighStatistics show that 27 mobile handset vendors entered in just one quarter launching all range of handsets from Entry level to smart phones for business executives.Buyer Power – Low (Opportunity)Key point here is to analyze the below mentioned points: 1. How aware are buyers on the mobile handsets in market and offerings? 2. how price sensitive are they? 3. Are they brand conscious?Out of 50% of total Indian population between 20-50 years range, maximum percentage of buyers in India are demanding more features and variety in low prices, hence being price sensitive and this can affect the Churn rate. Hence ZTE has to be careful in pricing the models and targeting the audience. With new offerings in the handset like Dual sim, 3G compatibility, better camera features, applications etc.Competitor Rivalry – ModerateLargest market share holder : Nokia – 58%, followed by Samsung – 10%, LG – 8%Apart form this, growing players like ConvergeM, Mobile Store, Univercell, HotSpot, SubhikshaetcSupplier Power
- Indian population – 1.2 billionMobile handset issues every month – 700,000+ handsets every monthGrowth of 6-8% every yearEstimated figure for 2012 = 175 million handsets in India
- Due to the great potential in the Indian market, all major global organizations have chosen India as their key market. At the same time, owing to the intense competition, operators make all efforts to minimize their costs, resulting inprice pressureAs per the matrix shown above, the Indian Market is a low-price but high-quality market rather than a low-price and low-quality market. Therefore, it is a big challenge to all suppliers including ZTE to meet the requirements of the Indian subscribers.
- In addition to the matrix shown before, we can study the feasibility of ZTE to enter the Indian market using 7P Framework as well which consist of:Product – As stated earlier, this analyses the feasibility of launching a smartphone and and entry level handset in India considering the technology adaptability and readiness of the country. The country subscribers are in enthusiastically looking for innovative products and best in built features and value add services.Price – Since ZTE is entering the Low Price – High End market, hence they need to adapt a low cost pricing model to penetrate in the market and make its stand. Gradually it can increase the prices of the handset once they reach the break even and then provide VAS (Value Added Services) to the customers to sustain the relationship with the customers.Place – Considering the Urban and Rural population split of the states, ZTE should focus on all the metros in the coutnry to launch their handsets in the initial phase and eventually expanding their reach to the other locations. The Golden Quadrilateral (Delhi – Mumbai – Chennai – Kolkata) wil be the best option for ZTE to initiate the marketing.People – Targeting the right audience is again a crucial point to distribute the handsets. Along with this, best in class workforce for enhancing the customer services will help them gain confidence and satisfaction among the customers.Promotion – Distribution channels and Online Marketing will help ZTE promote their brand. Partnering with the service providers like TATA and Reliance wil also help them make their stand in the respective locations.
