form as a treatment for cuts and wounds. Although it was being used in hospitals and nursing homes for first aid and disinfectant uses like cleaning wards, washing linen, etc. Consumers were also using it for bathing, mopping, shaving and other secondary purposes.

Due to its early and continued efforts in building the segment and given the strength of the brand Dettol, this segment was historically dominated by Dettol Antiseptic Liquid.

Increased competition leads to price decreases. Introduction of new distribution channels. 34. GROWTH STAGE CHARACTERISTICS

35. The brand started its journey in 1933 as antiseptic liquid, but over the

years, it has been extended to a number of product categories like toilet soaps, liquid handwash, liquid bodywash, shaving cream and plaster strips. For almost the first 50 years, Dettol was present only as an antiseptic liquid. The growth of Each of these markets are at varying stages of evolution, so while in one market the brand as the leader had the responsibility of driving overall market growth, in other markets.

Although it was being used in hospitals and nursing homes for first aid and disinfectant uses like cleaning wards, washing linen, etc. Consumers were also using it for bathing, mopping, shaving and other secondary purposes.

whole. Costs are lowered as a result of production volumes increasing and experience curve effect. Sales volume peaks and market saturation is reached. Increase in competitors entering the market. Prices tend to drop due to the

proliferation of competing products. Brand differentiation and feature diversification is emphasized to maintain or increase market share. 36. MATURITY STAGE CHARACTERISTICS

37. The market is dominated by Dettol Antiseptic Liquid, which has close to

85% share. Johnson & Johnsons Savlon is the other significant player with a market share of 13%. Consumers now see Dettol as an expert, as something which is effective and versatile and guarantees protection from germs. It has been likened to a bodyguard who protects them from the unclean and unhygienic outside world.
