4. 2. UNDERSTANDING THE PRIZE
HOUSEHOLD INCOME:-
India has had a wide range of struggler households.
More than one-third of the population is likely to reach aspirer class by 2020
compared with 20% in 2010 and 9% in 2000.
The share of households(strugglers) are earning less than $3,300 which is likely
to fall from 51% in 2010 to 28% by 2020.
5. URBANIZATION
In 2010, 31% Indias population lived in cities
By 2020, the % will be raised to 35% . As people move from rural areas to cities
they tend to increase their expenses
People living in urban areas have better access to goods and are more exposed
to consumerism
For Eg-, television is owned by 80% of urban households, whereas in rural
households it is only 39%.
6. THE NUCLEAR FAMILY
The % of nuclear family increased from 61% in 2006 to 66% in 2010.
A nuclear family spends more on clothing, housing, education and leisure
activities whereas they both spend equally on food and health.
The per capita expenditure of these families is 20%-50% higher than that of joint
families.
7. GEN-I
Economic liberalization in 1991 marked a turning point for India.
They have different believes and have made different choices other than their
parents.
The GenI have far greater choice than prior generations. The number of car
models, for example has jumped from about 5 in 1990 to more than 160 today.

deep understanding to capture the market.
Hence, they need the following two strategies to achieve the same.

Lifestyle.
Attitudes and Behavior.
Financial Maturity.
17. UNDERSTANDING THE EVOLUTION OF
CONSUMPTION TREND
Children : Driving consumption growth.
Internet wave.
Trading up.

Healthy living.
18. CONCLUSION
The consumers spending in India is rising by leaps and bounds and if a company
comes to India and tries to capture it without adequate preparation they are likely to
fall short. India is a big and growing consumer market but not a easy one .Thus the
Tiger Roars report gives a good insight about the consumer habits and their spending
in different fields . Hence we can say that India which was once a pyramid is rapidly
turning into a diamond.
