CHAPTER - 2
CONSUMER PREFERENCE AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS INDUCTION STOVE
2.1. INTRODUCTION
In the present age of liberalisation, Privatilation and globalisation, host of changes have taken place because of development activities. The whole of the profile of Indian markets have witnessed manifold changes particularly in the last decade. The mass communication has also changed the whole theory and concept of marketing. The marketers, who were concentrating only on urban consumers, have started to shift their target towards rural markets too. Increasing awareness of new products and flooded market have made consumer choosier, thereby, consumers perceptional values have been changing very fast. Nowadays, it has become inevitable to find a place in an individual. The consumers perceptional frame work for the survival of the product.
2.2. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
Induction equipment may be a built-in hob, part of range, or a standalone hob unit. Built-in and range top units typically have multiple elements, the equivalent of separate burners on a gas-fueled range. Stand-alone induction “modules” are usually single-element, or sometimes have
dual elements. All such elements share a basic design; and electromagnet sealed beneath a heat – resisting glass – ceramic sheet that is easily cleaned. The pot is placed on the ceramic glass surface and begins to heat up, along with its contents.
In Japan, some models of rice cookers are powered by induction. In Hong Kong, power companies list a number of models. Asian manufactures have taken the lead in producing inexpensive single-induction-zone hobs; efficient, low-waste-heat units are advantageous in densely populated cities with little living space per family, as are many Asian cities. Induction cookers are less frequently used in other parts of the world.
Induction ranges may be applicable in commercial restaurant kitchens. Electric cooking avoids the cost of natural gas piping and in some jurisdictions may allow simpler ventilation and fire suppression equipment to be installed. Drawbacks for commercial use include higher initial cost and the requirement for magnetic cookware.
2.3. REVOLUTION IN INDUCTION STOVE
The market for induction stoves is dominated by German manufactures, such as AEG, Bosch, Miele and Siemens. The Spanish company Fagor, Italian firm Smeg and Sweden’s Electrolux are also key
players in the European market. Prices range from about GBP 250 to 1,000 within the U.K, In 2006, Stoves launched the UK’s first domestic induction hob (cook top) on a range cooker at a range cooker at a slight lower cost than those imported.
The European induction cooking market for hotels, restaurants and caterers is primarily satisfied by smaller specialist commercial induction catering equipment manufacturers such as Advents of France. Control induction of the UK and School of Germany.
Taiwanese and Japanese electronics are the dominant players in induction cooking for East Asia. After aggressive promotions by utilities in HK like CLP power HK ltd, many local brands like UNIVERSAL icMagIC, Sansui, German pool also emerged. There power and ratings are high, more than 2,800 watts. Some Japanese electronics manufacturers only sell domestically.
2.4 PROBLEMS OF INDUCTION STOVE OWNERS
The problems of induction stove owners differ with the Induction stove being used. The problems are as follows.
1. The most important problem of induction stove owners is power cut.
2. Cook ware must be compatible with induction heating
3. Glass and ceramics are un useable as are solid copper or solid aluminum cook ware.
4. Aluminum foil can melt onto the top and cause permanent damage or cracking of the top.
5. Some cooking techniques available when cooking over a flame are not applicable.

5.2
SUGGESTIONS:- Now a days the induction stoves were not buyable for luxury but it becomes necessary for many people. So, every family wants to have an own induction stove. It is possible only by the attitude of government electric policy. So the government can reduce the rate and other taxes.
The government can give uninterrupted power supply to every home.
The induction stove manufactures can take steps to reduce the cost of induction stove. The manufacturer can also do some research to increase the power consumption of the induction stove.
To encourage the manufacturers to produce induction stove lighter in weight and cheaper in price and the government should reduce the rate of duties.
The government should encourage the manufactures to produce battery operated induction stoves.
5.3. CONCLUSION
Now a days induction stoves are essential for day to day human life. So, all have a dream of buying induction stove. It can come true within a very short period of time because more number of induction stove companies were started in India. The buying capacity of induction stove shows the developing economic status of the country.
In view of the above discussion it can be very safely said that the “consumer satisfaction towards induction stove positively enhance the sale of the induction stove”. Hence it is the opportunity for the companies for making their almost efforts to improve the production and sale of induction stove.
