INTRODUCTION

The Indians used coal, Neem sticks, miswak stick and ordinary
powders to clean their teeth. The age-habit was just confirmed to all
these traditional things. They were not concerned with tooth decay,
germs and many other things, which may spoil the teeth. But with the
advent of toothpaste many people stopped their traditional way of
cleaning the teeth. With the arrival of western civilization in our
country most of the people accustomed to use Toothpaste in the place
of traditional tooth powders.
But as the time passed many competitors entered in the market
of toothpaste and now there is strict competition among them. Among
various Toothpastes Colgate was leading in the market.
The increasing demand for toothpastes has made the various
companies to enter into the market. This has resulted in a great
competition. Through the various brands of toothpaste were
introduced into the market, they are unable to withstand the tough
competition from Colgate. But only toothpaste that withstands the
competition is unbeatable toothpaste Close-up.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
The toothpaste history in India can be tracked back from 1975
with 1200 tonnes of toothpaste produced by the toothpaste industry.
Prior to the toothpastes Oral Hygiene was the domain of local home
made powders and ayurvedh practitioners. With the entry of Colgate
in Indian marketplace the awareness about Oral care and the
importance of oral care. In recent years the Industry has shown
impressive growth rate of 18.6% (this growth is calculated in terms of
value growth in Rs. ). The growth in the Urban market has been
largely by the Gel Segment. Presently, a large chunk of the Market is
still held by Colgate. The major players in the toothpaste Industry
being Colgate Palmolive and Hindustan Lever Limited and several
minor players like Balsara hygiene, Dabur etc. Presently Colgate
Dental Cream holds 52% of market share. HLL’s Close up lies far
behind with 23% of the existing market share. The third player in the
marketplace in terms of market share is Colgate Gel with 10.5% of
the market share. That leaves 14.5% market share for other Brands
like Pepsodent, Pepsodent G, Promise, Babool, Sensofoam, Forhans,
Cibaca, Neem, Vicco etc. The toothpaste market is presently valued at
Rs. 750 crores out of which the Gel segment has already bagged 1/3rd
portion of it. The Gel segment presently stands at Rs. 248 crores and
is growing at a rate much faster than Cream. In India toothpaste usage
as compared to other countries is very low which signifies about the
potential of the market. In Urban India the usage of toothpaste per
person per year is just 190gms. Where as it is 200gms of toothpaste
per person per year in developing countries as Indonesia andThailand.
In developed countries as USA and other European countries the

Close-up is an important product through which Unilever

launched themselves as a leading company in India. Close-up,
launched in 1967, is said to be the first gel toothpaste in the world.
From the day of launch, it has been compared to 'Freshness' and has
been targeted to the youth crowd. In 2003, Unilever sold the licensing
rights to Church & Dwight in United States and Canada. But, in India
the Unilever continues its sales and it has not failed to appeal the
youth crowd even today. The advertising campaigns of this toothpaste
are also very stylish and many famous stars have been roped in to
endorse this brand. It has been market leader in the Indian markets for
over 3 decades.
As said earlier, the specialty of close-up toothpaste is that, it has come
out of the typical opaque, mint-flavored toothpaste to a cleared gel
with a spicy cinnamon taste. Its products straight away appealed to
the youths and from the day of launch, Close-up has introduces a lot
