pricing strategy that will create a mass market
and to have offerings in every category to widen

importing chocolates. After over 60 years of existence,
it today has six company-owned in India.
• Cadbury India enjoys a value market share of over 70
percent in the chocolate category.
• Cadbury launched CDM Shots in 2008, Positioned
as ‘chocolate laddoo’ and priced at Rs. 2 for 2 pieces,
the attempt was to introduce the product to
consumers
as
the
perfect
value-for-money

1,40,000 people and have operations in more
than 70 countries

India
11. Relevance of the Brand
With a large section of Indians still choosing
traditional sweets (Mithai) over chocolates, an
offering was required that would seed
chocolate consumption amongst non-users
and help increase consumption frequency
amongst fringe chocolate users. Also, even at
its lowest price point, Cadbury chocolate was
still inaccessible to majority of the rural
population.
