PRICING OF ICI PAINTS
As far as the pricing is concerned it is the most difficult decision because keeping all the things
on one side price matters. ICI Paints is promoting different brands on different prices according
to the market segmentation. Dulux is the most expensive brand in the market. The reason is that
the best raw material and components are used in the manufacturing of the Dulux. Second reason
is that Dulux target market is upper tier. And to some extend upper tier of middle tier. But paying
more for Dulux, customer feels value.
12

13/17
If we compare the price of Dulux with other local brands, its the fact that price difference is not
more than 20-100 rupees. As far as quality is concerned, by paying more customers is not
worried about the quality.
For the market which is middle tier, ICIs brands Paintex Emulsion and Glidden are the brands
with low price and optimum quality within the tier. If we go into the comparison of Paintex andGlidden their price is lower than the other paint brands selling in the market. Glidden is purely
priced to cover the buying power of middle tier.
The price of the products in which ICI is having technological edge over competitors is
comparatively high. The reason is that ICI is enjoying state of monopoly for that product. There
is no product in the market to encounter them.
The price of Dulux Weather shield Fresh is Rs. 1050/-, others companies brands offeredin the market are 300-400 Rs less than Weathersheild Fresh.
Same is the case with Dulux Gloss Finish and Dulux Matt Enamel Odorless Range. The
price is Rs. 300-400 more as compared to other brands.
So pricing factor vary from brands to brands and target market.

CONDITIONS1: YOUR LARGEST COMPETITORS HAS REDUCED ALL ITS PRICES BY 15%
ICI has two main competitors i.e. burger paints & master paints. Suppose that those two main
rivals have reduced their prices by 15% on their paint products. There is need to analyze & judge
this step taken by the ICI competitors. There may be an intention to create new customers or totarget new segments in rural & urban areas in order to increase their sales, profit and to boost up
their market share to capture the paint industry in Pakistan.
This is a major threat to the market leader ICI paints. There is need to take corrective decisions
in order to keep the company position in the market. The company can take the following steps:
The company may also decrease their prices to make tuff competition with its rivals
The company may offer some products like paint brushes and other products necessarilyrequired to paint the houses, shops e.t.c
The can increase the promotion of their products by giving some incentives to itsdistributors, wholesalers and retailers.
The company can launch new product which is not currently launched by its competitors.

2: THERE IS A GENERAL ELECTION IMMINENT. POLITICAL PUNDITS ARE
FORESEEING A NEW GOVERNMENT IN POWER WHICH HAS PROMISED
PROTECTION FOR LOCAL BUSINESS IN ITS ELECTION MANIFESO.
3: INTERNATIONAL OIL PRICES ARE EXPECTED TO RISE AGAIN THIS YEAR IN
THE WAKE OF RENEWED POLITICAL CRISES IN A MAJOR OPEC COUNTRY.The ICI paint company is paint manufacturing company. The company production is directly
linked with oil. The change in the prices of oil will affect the paint industry as a whole. There
are different chemicals used in the manufacturing of paints. The high prices of raw materialin inflationary conditions will affect the production of paint industry and increase the prices
of paints.
4: HEAVY RAINS AND FLOODING HAS INUNDATED A LARGE MASS OF THE
COUNTRYS AGRICULTURAL HEARTLAND.
ICI Paint Company is paint manufacturing company. The company has no direct relation
with agricultural land. Thats why heavy rains and floods can not affect the working ofcompany. But it can create problems in transportation of raw materials, and final products to
the manufacturing units and sales stores.
But this situation can create an opportunity for the paint manufacturing companies to target
new segments and to maximize profits. This will also help them to promote their paint
products through welfare of people in flood affecting areas. This will create a positive image
for the company in people mind.
Their will create another situation due to flood and heavy rains. Suppose heavy rains and
floods have destroyed thousands of houses, hotels and shops. This ultimately affects theeconomy of the country which is also facing inflationary conditions due to high prices and
political instability. The flood victims need food, shelter for a short period until their new
homes and reconstruction process is not start. The company can help and take part in thewelfare and rehabilitation of people.
The next stage is rebuilding of homes, hotels and shops. This will increase the demand forpaint products. The company can use the first mover strategy to introduce their products in

the new segments or areas. The company can distribute free samples of paints to market their
products. This will help them to increase their customers and market share in future. The
company can also decrease the prices of paint products in flood victim areas.
