Analyzing business markets


growth of the matchbox market can be attributed to increase in rural population and to increase in smokers year on year. The biggest player in the Indian market is ITC with over 70% of market share in terms of cigarette sales per annum. Wimco, after being bought by ITC, now contributes to this growing market. 

Organizational buying refers to the decision-making process by which formal organizations establish the need for purchased products and services, and identify, evaluate, and choose among alternative brands and suppliers.

Challenges of business markets:
•Fewer, larger buyers 
•Close supplier-customer relationships 
•Professional purchasing 
•Many buying influences
•Multiple sales calls 
•Derived demand 
•Inelastic demand 
•Fluctuating demand 
•Geographically concentrated buyers 
•Direct purchasing

Buying situations include: Straight buy, modified re-buy and new task
•    Initiators 
•    Users 
•    Influencers 
•    Deciders
•    Approvers
•    Buyers
•    Gatekeepers

The market in India is here to stay for time to come.  growth of the matchbox market can be attributed to increase in rural population and to increase in smokers year on year.
