In India, there is a huge opportunity & untapped market for mint base candy. Well, there is only one aim for Mint Candy players that to offering “Mouth fresh / refresh breath deeply”. Now-a-days Sugar free products market is growing slowly and companies are launching various sugar-free products. When the word is speaking “Sugar-Free”, people rapidly understand that it is for diabetic/diet/health conscious. So, Segment & target group will also be accordingly (Appx. 30+ age group men/women). And, today you must be finding ‘Sugar –free’ brands available in categories like biscuits, cake, cookies, health drink powder, yogurt, juice etc. i.e. food & beverages products.

 Mint-O Ultra Mintz is ‘sugar-free’ & giving extra strong mint which will be targeting diabetic/health conscious consumers. The campaign has launched by print media & OOH, still it is require to generating much awareness and market availability.

Normally, Mint base candy is majorly consuming by young (18+ age)/business-corporate class consumers as well as also consuming after smoke for mouth refreshment. For, ITC it can be very tough task to cover market for Mint-O Ultra Mintz ‘Sugar-free’ candy. Because, it is premium class brand, packaging also developed premium and targeting specific consumers.  It should require focusing more on promotional strategy (On ground promotion), more n more branding as well as market availability along with Print & OOH media.

Really, innovation is good in mint base candy category but the important thing that how ITC Ltd. will be covering market by strategically?
