The Mars Innovation Launchpad Phase -1 Submission Team Members 1) Nidhi Matlani (H21151) 2) Sunny Gupta (BJ21116) 3) Rahul Choudhary (BJ21102) Situational Analysis • Customer ✓ Generally, target audience of this sector do impulse purchases after a particular confectionary item grab the person’s attention or else they see someone eating that particular product. ✓ Both grown-ups and kids buy chocolates irrespective of their economic situation and chocolates are considered as alternatives to rewards creating a value in front of kids and in some cases adults too. • Competition ✓ Extremely high competition in this industry from brands like Nestle, Cadbury etc. ✓ It is not only the cost which matters, but quality and innovation is also one of the factor which plays a major role in securing a market share. Niche Market-Suggestions ✓Since most of the youths are moving away from sugary chocolates, natural way of adding sugars could be explored to capture the new generation which is fitness oriented. ✓Mars can look into new flavour combinations such as mixing exotic fruit flavour with dar chocolates. ✓Healthy bars like one enriched with why protein could be another sector where mars could focus on and come with extremely protein rich bars to capture age-group indulged into fitness. ✓Mars can collaborate with e-commerce websites to show their products as recommendations according to the type of other products in cart or else provide chocolates instead of discounts.
