By M4G Bureau - July 13, 2020

According to Kantars report -Brand Footprint 2020, Dabur, Vim, Sunfeast, Brooke Bond and Patanjali have joined the Billion CRPs Club this year

Worldpanel division of Kantar, the worlds leading data, insights and consulting company released its report Brand Footprint 2020. The report citied that Parle is the most chosen consumer brand in India. Also, five new brands such as Dabur, Vim, Sunfeast, Brooke Bond and Patanjali have joined the billion consumer reach point (CRPs) club this year. Colgate stands at the highest penetrated brand at 88%, the report said.

Talking about the impact of Covid-19, the report said thatfood and beverage brands get picked up more often except Parle and Tata due to drop in frequency. For example, Amul is chosen over 100,000 additional times during the pandemic months, March to May. While personal and home care brands drop CRPs. However, trip size increases causing top brands to grow volume.

Consumer Reach Points are a great way to measure and rank brands as it is a measure of the number of opportunities a brand has, to interact with a consumer. It is great to see consistent validation for the fact that if you build penetration, frequency and growth follow. This has really been a year of global brands in terms of their higher growth than others. Like these, this years report has a lot of interesting nuggets to derive a lot of information and insights on top the behaviour of consumers towards brands in the last year, said K. Ramakrishnan, MD- South Asia, Worldpanel division, Kantar.
