    HUL was founded in 1931 as Hindustan Vanaspati Manufacturing Co. and was renamed Hindustan Lever Limited after a merger of the separate groups in 1956. The company was renamed Hindustan Unilever Limited in June 2007.

    Hindustan Unilever’s corporate headquarters is located in Andheri, Mumbai. The campus is spread over 12.5 acres of land and houses over 1,600 employees. Facilities available to employees include a grocery shop, food court, health centre, gym, sports and recreation centre and a daycare centre.

    BCG Matrix of HUL ( Hindustan Unilever Ltd )

    BCG Matrix of HUL contains the Dogs, Stars, Cash Cows, and the Question Mark. In this reading of the BCG Matrix of HUL, we will analyse the company’s low growth products, products that attract sales, high growth products, and products that may attract sales or may become low growth products in future.

    Dogs

    The dogs of HUL are 1. taaza 2. Brooke Bond Sehatmand 3. Bru Brooke Bond Sehatmad should be divested as customers’ tastes and healthy eating needs have evolved from vitamin B containing tea to oxidation inhibiting tea. With the rise of green tea, the demand of health-conscious people has increased for vitamin B rather than oxidation inhibiting tea as natural products provide a rich source of vitamins.

    Stars

    The HUL stars are 1. AXE Deodorant 2. Fair & Lovely 3. Lakme Anti Ageing 4. Vim 5. Wheel 6. Surf Excel 7. Lifebuoy 8. Lux 9. Kwality Walls 10. Kissan Jam 11. Knorr Soup.

    All these products contribute the most to the market share. For example, the deodorant AXE contributes almost 25% of the market share. (Sandhu, 2013) The same is true for the other stars of HUL.

    Cash Cows

    HUL Cash cows are 1. Shampoos, 2. soaps, 3. daily morning things and fast foods
    Sunsilk has created the largest group for young Indian women, namely www.sunsilkgangofgirls.com. Sunsilk is inventive and offers a whole range of products: Soft and smooth, thick and long, repair damaged hair, solution for hair loss, stunning black shine and enemy of dandruff. Similar steps are being taken for the other cash cows.

    Questions

    The HUL question marks are 1. Close Up 2. Pepsodent 3. Annapurna 4. Fair & Lovely Menz Active 5. Domex 6. Rin 7. Breeze 8. Taj Mahal Tea Bag 9. Kissan Ketchup 10. Knorr Meal Maker.

    Being the new entrants or combatants in the market fighting for real market share where the market is changing at a fast pace, efforts are being made to ensure that they get their piece of the pie. Pepsodent has made a remarkable change to its germ control and whitening toothpaste by thinking of the sensitive and gum care section of the toothpaste. (ArtiVaish, 2014) Knorr Soups thinks of the whole range of soups, from tomato and vegetable soups to Chinese soups and chicken soups.
