While this move may bring America’s favourite chocolate brand closer to it’s Indian customers, Hershey’s India still has a lot to achieve in it’s distribution and product strategy.
One such product category is the Chocolate Spread. The Chocolate Spread industry, although a small ~100 crore market, sees market dominance by one of it’s rivals – the coveted – Nutella. It has a 90% market share in the Chocolate Spread market. Hershey’s chocolate spread that competes in the same price range as Nutella, does have a mighty enemy to beat.
