In India, there is a huge opportunity & untapped market

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

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’
