Abstract:
The aim of this research is to find out consumer perception towards Chinese,
Taiwan, Hongkong products purchased in emerging market like India. The study
covers factors like types of products purchased, reasons for their purchase
behavior, purchase behaviour towards Chinese origin products affected by variables
like price, functionality, quality, image, purchase intention in future for
Chinese origin products and relationship of country of origin on consumer satisfaction
level. The research was carried out in Mumbai-also called mini India as its
population is a blend of all region of India. The study is about consumers’
perception and their purchase behavioral towards selected products from China,
Taiwan and Hongkong. It is survey techniques using questionnaire as a research
tool. A total of 200 participated in the study with 180 are taken up for analysis.
They are selected on simple random intercept basis. Majority of Indians have
purchased Chinese products. It is possible due to Chinese products available
at affordable price. Price, quality and functionality of a product could influence
the purchase behavior. Taiwan has a grater image and good country of origin
perceptions compared to China. Mobile (39%), toys (40%) and food items (31%)
are the most preferred category for purchase and has a good image due to country
of origin. Country of origin, product functionality at affordable price may
be a good country penetration strategy for emerging market. Textiles from China
has not gained much entry in India when compared to other countries. Quality
product at affordable price can be a used as penetration strategy by managers
for emerging market based on the present study. Research on acceptance of a
brand based on consumer purchase behavior towards Chinese products in emerging
market like India may give information on managing Chinese brands in global
scenario specially in MINT and BRIC countries as they are culturally different
compared to western countries. Consumers form emerging countries are looking
for value for money form a product compared to developed economy. There is paucity
of research which compares the country of origin on Chinese region-China, Taiwan
and Hongkong in emerging market like India. India is an important trade partner
for China.
