Conclusion: The
Slowdown trends was clearly visible among the top 10 companies barring one
or two company which did exceptionally well, with margin squeezed as
volume wise there is increase in sales of almost all the companies. In all
715 companies were reached, here it is worth mentioning that many
manufacturer have switched their line of business owing to severe price
pressure. It’s a volume game with small margins, only the bigger and
better will survive. Another visible trend adopted by many a regional
majors is the pick & choose method adopted by companies. Regional
players are playing in their own niche market where the biggies do not
interfere. UPS being almost a necessity with every business establishment
it is such a huge market that despite tough competition there is scope of
survival for one and all. Slowdown has only taken the rosy freshness out
of the business, but the scent still remains.
These rankings are limited to the companies responding
to our survey and data provided by them.
