10. CONCLUSION

Nestle India, tried to make extensions of the Maggi brand to a number of products like,Maggi Atta Noodles,Cuppa Mania,Dal Atta Noodles ,Maggi Rice Noodles with 3 variants . In the late 1990s when Nestle changed the formulation of its tastemaker, the ominous packet that came along with Maggi Noodles, a major chunk of consumers were put-off and sales started dropping. Maggis competitors like TopRamen & others took advantage of the situation and started a parallel aggressive campaign to eat into Maggis market share. Maggi quickly realised this and went back into making the original formula coupled with a free sampling campaign wining back its lost consumers and pushed up its sales volumes again. Analyst says that Nestle has the potential to expand the Rs. 1,300 crore instant noodles category. The instant noodle market is worth over Rs. 1,500 crore & is growing at a rate of over 17-20 % per year due to rise in the number of working professionals living away from parents,lack of time,& premium placed by consumers on convenient food options. One key reason for growth is the ease & speed with which it can be cooked.
