Consumer behavior is changing all round the globe, it's applicable for India too. Businesses are going Global, so kindly share your views about the changing consumer behavior and its impact on Global Businesses.....
To answer your question in one phrase, " the only thing constant in this World is change"
Consumer Behaviour will change world over and more so in developing countries like India where social behaviour and literacy levels too are changing. As people migrate from the villages to the cities in search of employment, so too will their buying patterns albeit slowly. Plus the above factors mentioned by sheetal also will contribute to change.
For global business to grow, consumer behaviour has to change. It is a positive sign and only those companies that constantly offer something different to their consumers will survive in this rat race. The age old beleif of knowing your target segment is passe. Today knowing your consumers on a daily basis is needed more so that companies will increasingly feel the need for appointing a behavioural analyst.
Unfortunately only very few % companies are registered in Internet in india..So seaching over internet will not give good ultimate result.
In india,more than 40% people are Middle class/Youngters who is spending money and consuming more..10% upper class will get along with them..
If some products attracts this middle class segment,diffenately win!!!!!!
Yes
india is not what inda was, the impact of westernization as well as globalization is completly effecting its culture and businness too, so the views of consumer is changing gradually .
none of the area is untouched from strokes of globalization either culture,trends ,mass-communication.
the real impact comes in the form of wall/dalal street. big shopping malls and multiplexes/apartments etc.
Before talking about the Indian consumer, we need to take a step back , and evaluate how the social structure has changed in India.
Changing social structure - with a strong unidirectional movement from rural areas to urban India, joint families breaking into segments like Double Income No Kid, Single Income No Kid, Double Income One Kid, live together, our needs & aspirations have taken a big shift.
we no longer tend to discuss with family members, on pre-purchase assessments. we rely on sources like internet, tele-marketing, point of sales promotion etc.
the Urban India is fast becoming a individualist dominating set up, and hence our choices & needs.

Infact he should be made PM right now and not Mr. Advani, as he is too old for the post, and yes among all the states, Gujarat is Top for Investment and other things in the country, and this shows the prowess of Mr. Modi...and even it too agree with... |
Organized way of selling goods and services by the retail stores have resulted a change in consumer behavior and now we are seeing more and more people are buying from them than kiranas. |
I think this is not the case though it is a price sensitive market but this does not tell that luxury brands do not have a growth here. Mrecedes Benz which categorises itself under the category of luxury brands was having the highest sell last year... |
