MEDIA INDUSTRY A FANCY BOOM!

Continuing my earlier post on media industry specifically animated sector encourage me to write on media sector. Pakistan media is basted child born and fed by country stakeholders. Now, child is acting as savage child and demanding for more from his breeders.

The worst thing about this sector is the conversation of paper news medium to fancy TV channels. Issues and None Issues in the country are highlighted and hammered every minute, hours and every day without taking into consideration what will be economical and social effects on the audience. Untapped section of news audience who can’t read can now be able to listen and react on fancy scripted shown with none issues matters and create chaos. Listening to media clearly shows living in Pakistan is alarming and country is on the edge of cliff to falls with never ending problems.

Media industry before 2000 was limited and have quality in all terms. Few channels led by PTV are the prime source of entertainment, education and news. Current industry is the result of reforms done in Pervaiz Musharraf era. Resulting the emergence of private channels making the industry cluster for new entrance and thus, the media industry flourished.

Coming to bigger picture Pakistan’s media industry is 88-billion-rupee industry. Rapid growth is result of NO reforms in the industry along with secret treaties with politicians and selling news by copying tricks from other country media sector drove the nation’s media revenue up 14% to a highest of Rs. 76.2 billion in 2016 and another 12% to Rs. 88 billion in 2017, making it among the fastest rising sector not in Asia but in the world.

Having said above the sudden and exponential rise of media hasn’t been the ideal but artificial growth powered by factor stated above. Particularly current business model powered by two main sources of revenue generation: – Govt. Funding & 2 – Private clients

Majority of the source of income came from first part almost 70% rest compromising private one. It been the bad luck for country that corrupt and incapable Govts. for last 60 years wanted to highlight their paperly development works to gain USP among nation to earn political agenda. Top of the above media channels played a dirty and filthy role in this scenario and obviously earned margins and profits. Amazingly this been directly looted on the name of “Fifth Generation War” war that has been hypothetically generated.

Coming back to the point of first source of income i.e., Govt. funding Punjab Govt. and Sindh Govt. always were the big spenders during the last 10 years. Pakistan Muslim League’s government in Punjab was a sign of development projects in Punjab but in Sindh, there were no development but their advertising budgets were higher than Punjab’s budget which clearly shows embezzlers.
During election tenures top rated channels got maximum business during this political tilt and filled their fat bellies till PTI Govt. From first date of new Govt. to till date no media campaigns from Federal Government and Provincial Governments are on aired. Govt Spokesmen already clearly gave message to media channels to revamp their current business excluding Govt. budget dependency. Consequently, no Government budgets, no media activity results in no salaries and hence channels are down-sizing, salaries are getting delayed. Despite of the bad times in the industry APNS and PBA are the regulatory authorities for print and electronic media played miserably and dint come up with solutions to resolve down-sizing and revamping sector business model.

I my opinion problem with the current representatives don’t want to get their heads in this fire. Majority of the representatives in these authorities were owners of the media channels and giving less importance to the scenario. Secondly, anchors have become the superman and owners are more concerns about them. Thirdly, Media channels are hammering, accusing Govt. and blaming it as failed Govt. to create hype to declare it as failed administration. Only solution lies is to revamp the business model or leave the sector for good sake.

Reshaping Biscuit

Biscuits are considered as the most economical healthy food people can buy. Biscuits in Pakistan have now assumed the role of food between meals” in nearly every house. They are considered a complimentary item in evening tea, large parties’ receptions and small parties in middle and upper class of economies. Also the lower class is observed as a consumer of biscuits but not much than other two classes.

In Asia with its population of over 4 billion, has experienced a sharp compound annual growth rate of 49.3% in biscuit consumption. In Pakistan annual consumption of biscuits per person has come a long way from 0.6 kg in 2001 to almost 2.1 kg by the end of year 2011. Average consumption of biscuits per person in Indian Market is 1.6 kg and above 4 kg in European countries.

Biscuit sector in Pakistan is divided into branded and unbranded player and most of them cornering a huge share of market. In Pakistan about 60% of the entire biscuit market is covered by the branded biscuits manufacturers and rest was filled by various small local businesses. The anticipated yearly gross sales in the branded sector are estimated to be approximately Rs.3700 million with an annual increase of about 18%. When converted the gross sales into tonnage roughly shows the figures of 50,000 tons for branded biscuits whereas total biscuit consumption is more or less 100,000 tons.

The biggest challenge in the sector is to convert unbranded sector to branded sector and increase the size of market by increasing consumption. By innovation in the packing and new products offering market grew to gross sale of 175,000 tons, with successful conversions into branded sector with sale of at 130,000 tons.

The market has been segmented mainly into adults and children with further segmentations in terms of taste \Lifestyles. Further segmentation of the sector is:

Soft & Sweet Plain:Sooper, Bakeri, Gala, Bravo, Tre

Cream Filling: Prince, Rio, Cocomo, Jam Hearts

Salty Snacks:TUC, Saltish

Indulgent/Sweet:Candi, Chocolate Chip

Plain Glucose:Munna, Gluco, Tiger

Ingredient Based: Party, Zeera Plus

HealthyWheat Slices:Wheatable

The industry saw the entry of several key smaller players such as Bisconni, Mayfair and Kolson Already existed companies stepped up to the challenge of new enterer  through new brands such as  Sooper, TUC, Candi, Tiger and Peanut Pik. All the rivalry players in the sector want a slice of the pie. Still Market share of EBM and CBL in the branded and total market remained on top with 37 % and 26% respectively. Major increase witnessed with the growth in the soft biscuit category driven by two power brands: Sooper and Bakeri. Sooper dominates as a mass market favorite followed by Tiger as middle to low tier brand.

Loyalty of consumer in the biscuits category is from medium to high. As biscuits has a high level of conjunctional usage within family circles. Hence segmentation in the biscuit market becomes more difficult in the true sense with a two sets of most probably different audiences behaving in a similar way.
