Predominance in oral care proceeds with sustained overall market share with Expanding infiltration, per-capita utilization to help development
Driven by the predominance of CPIL in toothpastes with a vicinity over premium, well known and mass classes and having SKUs crosswise over variations (consistent, touchy, natural, brightening, gum care, freshness), CPIL's business sector offer in toothpaste has reinforced from 49.4% in FY08 to 56.7% in FY14.
The oral care industry in India has been largely dominated by the toothpaste segment. Toothbrush is the second largest oral care products segment in the industry after toothpaste and majorly including products such as manual and electric toothbrushes. Colgate India has maintained its strong presence in the domestic toothbrush market for past many decades with a maximum share of ~40% in FY'2015.
Bellow is the Per Capita Consumption of Toothpaste (Year 2014)
Engaging with consumers to build brands and Increasing Distribution & availability
Behind Colgate-Palmolive’s, innovation, the company seeks to engage consumers in building awareness of the brand. In order to attract consumers in retail stores, Colgate has increased its commercial investment in advertising, promotions, trade spending, and creative brand building along with In-store advertising, Investment in Digital Space.
It has increased its presence in rural India. It has been helping people to build awareness by doing road shows also using Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to gain competitive advantage. Frequently, though, CSR efforts are counterproductive, for two reasons. First, they pit business against society, when in reality the two are interdependent. Second, they pressure companies to think of corporate social responsibility in generic ways instead of in the way most appropriate to their individual strategies.
It is investing behind infrastructure to promote awareness by increasing distribution and availability. Colgate is now available in almost 48 lakh outlets.
Innovation
Over the years, Colgate has built an extensive oral care portfolio through constant innovation thereby offering products across value pyramid and within each sub-category (sensitive toothpaste, gum care toothpaste electric brush, kids brush etc.). Lately, it has been aggressive on extension of its premium portfolio to capture upgrading consumers. In FY15, it launched toothpastes (Visible White Plus Shine, Sensitive Pro- Relief Enamel Repair, Sugar Acid Neutralizer) and two varieties of toothbrushes (Slimsoft Charcoal, Zig Zag Black). Hence, with constant innovation and higher A&P spends, we believe Colgate would continue to remain the dominant player and would be the largest beneficiary of increasing penetration levels in India.
Innovation to create new segments (few new products announced)
Whiter + Shinier teeth
Sensitivity – repairs enamel for lasting sensitivity relief
Premium Anti-Cavity – Fights Sugar Acids
Deep & Gentle Cleaning, with Charcoal Infused Bristles.
Deep cleaning between teeth – First mass ‘black” toothbrush.
Innovating to drive Permiumization
High payout and solid return proportions
One of the advantages to shareholders in the respect of stock dividends is the tax benefit. The receipt of the stock dividends by the shareholder is not taxable as income. The payment of stock dividend is normally interpreted by shareholders as an indication of higher profitability.
In the present unpredictable market conditions, picking stocks with high dividend yields is a good strategy for those who are here to invest with a long-term goal as such stocks gives investors fairly regular dividends, plus the capital appreciation could also be fairly good.

Indian oral care industry, over the last few years, has been one of the fast growing FMCG sectors.

The overall market for Indian oral care products has grown at CAGR of 14.4% during FY'2008-FY'2014. The growth in the industry is driven by rising disposable income, change in consumer lifestyle, entry of international players in the market and introduction of new product categories in toothpaste, toothbrush and mouthwashes.
Toothpowder category, on the other hand has demurred in the industry and in FY'2015. The decline in the toothpowder market revenue was mainly due to change in the consumer tastes and preferences towards easy to use oral care products in the market.

Managing the price increase Inflation has direct impact on FMCG companies. Inflation is now stable because of falling crude prices. Any reverse in trend will have negative impact on margins.
Above this there is always promotional pressure because retailers and consumers often buy from one sales promotion to the next. This makes FMCG companies extra vulnerable, because missing out on a promotion directly hurts company’s turnover.
Royalty is one big concern Royalty has been expanding relentlessly, as a rate of offers, in the previous couple of years.
The rapidly developing markets and the Competition in the market is a major concern for Colgate.
