INTRODUCTION
This market survey report is based on the survey, which has been done in the Moradabad city.
The main objective of the survey is to find out and to analyze the comparison between Uncle
Chips & Lays. The data used for the analysis is primary data and collected through the use of
questionnaire. The respondents were the customer of potato chips. The sample size of my
research is 50, and the respondents are customers, a questionnaire has been used to make this
market survey report. The data have been tabulated and shown in the form of a pie chart.
Then it is interpreted and analyzed and further the conclusion of the study is drawn. And I
will also ask some questions to customers through which I am avail to conduct this market
survey report. I believe that this market survey report will help to the reader for better
understanding of the attitude of the customer.
In 1932, C.E. Doolin entered a small San Antonio cafe and purchased a bag of corn chips.
Little did he dream this savory chip would become one of the nation's most popular snacks.
Mr. Doolin learned that the manufacturer of the chips was eager to sell his small business, so
he purchased the recipe, and began to sell FRITOS
®
Corn Chips from his Model T Ford.Meanwhile, that same year, Herman W. Lay began his
potato chip business in Nashville by delivering snack foods. Not long after, Mr. Lay
purchased the manufacturer, and the H.W. Lay & Company was formed.
The success of Frito-Lay is a tribute to two entrepreneurs' dreams.
H.W. Lay & Company became one of the largest snack food companies in the Southeast, and
LAY'S® brand Potato Chips is still America's favorite potato chip.Years later, in 1961, the
Frito Company and the H.W. Lay company merged to become Frito-Lay, Inc. Today, Frito-
Lay brands account for 59% of the U.S. snack chip industry.
These days, our founders' dream to be America's favorite snack food company continues to
be fulfilled by more than 45,000 Frito-Lay employees in the United States and Canada who
make, sell, and deliver a wide variety of fun and environmentally friendly foods for you to
enjoy.
What happens when 48,000 people focus on a single vision?
Something wonderful—a company that’s all about good fun—doing good things when it
comes to making snacks and caring for the environment. You get a company called Frito-
Lay, a proud member of the PepsiCo family.
For more than 75 years, we have enjoyed making the best snacks on earth, starting with
simple, farm-grown ingredients.

And we're not stopping now. We continue to innovate, so we can provide tasty products that
are good as well as fun.And we're reducing our environmental footprint by conserving natural
resources as well as harnessing renewable energy technology that reduces harmful emissions.
We know we still have a lot of work to do, but we’re up to the challenge. We've had a lot of
good fun along the way, and we'll continue that as we look to the future.
Potato chip
A potato chip is a thin slice of potato that is deep fried or baked until crunchy. Potato chips
are commonly served as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. The basic chips are cooked and
salted; additional varieties are manufactured using various flavorings and ingredients
including seasonings, herbs, spices, cheeses, and artificial additives.
"Crisps", however, may also refer to many different types of savory snack products sold in
the United Kingdom and Ireland, some made from potato, but may also be made from maize,
tapioca or other cereals. An example of these kinds of savory snacks is Monster Munch.
[1]
Potato chips are a predominant part of the snack food market in English-speaking countries
and numerous other Western nations. The global potato chip market generated total revenues
of US$16.4 billion in 2005. This accounted for 35.5% of the total savory snacks market in
that year (US$46.1 billion).
Flavored chips
Potato chip flavors include sour cream and onion, barbecue, salt and vinegar, and plain salt.
In an idea originated by the Smiths Potato Crisps Company Ltd, formed in 1920, Frank Smith
originally packaged a twist of salt with his crisps in greaseproof paper bags, which were then
sold around London.

The potato chip remained otherwise unseasoned until an innovation by Joe "Spud" Murphy
(1923–2001), the owner of an Irish crisp company called Tayto, who developed a technology
to add seasoning during manufacture in the 1950s. After some trial and error, Murphy and his
employee, Seamus Burke, produced the world's first seasoned crisps, Cheese & Onion and
Salt & Vinegar.
The innovation became an overnight sensation in the food industry with the heads of some of
the biggest potato chip companies in the United States traveling to the small Tayto company
in Ireland to examine the product and to negotiate the rights to use the new technology.
Companies worldwide sought to buy the rights to Tayto's technique. The sale of the Tayto
company made the owner and the small family group, who had changed the face of potato
chip manufacturing, very wealthy.
The Tayto's innovation changed the entire nature of the potato chip, and led to the end of
Smith's twist of salt. (Walkers revived the idea of "salt in a bag", following their takeover of
Smith's (UK) in 1979, with their Salt 'n' Shake potato crisps.) Later chip manufacturers added
natural and artificial seasonings to potato chips with varying degrees of success. A product
that had had a large appeal to a limited market on the basis of one seasoning now had a
degree of market penetration through vast numbers of seasonings. Various other seasonings
of chips are sold in different locales, including the original Cheese and Onion, produced by
Tayto, which remains by far Ireland's biggest manufacturer of crisps.

American and Canadian English use "chips" for the above mentioned dish—this term is also
MALAY SRIVASTAVA
used (but not universally) in other parts of the world, due to the influence of American
culture—and sometimes "crisps" for the same made from batter.
In the United Kingdom and Ireland crisps are potato chips while chips refer to thick strips
similar to french fries (as in "fish and chips") and served hot. In Australia, some parts of
South Africa, the south of New Zealand, India, the general West Indies especially in
Barbados, both forms of potato product are simply known as "chips", as are the larger "home-
style" potato crisps. In the north of New Zealand they are known as "chippies" but are
marketed as "chips" throughout the country. Sometimes the distinction is made between "hot
chips" (fried potatoes) and "potato chips" in Australia and New Zealand. In Bangladesh, they
are generally known as chip or chips, and much less as crisps (pronounced "kirisp") and
locally Álu Bhaja.
Health concerns
Potato chips were originally fried and seasoned without concern for trans fats, sodium, sugar,
or other nutrient levels. As nutritional intake guidelines were created in various countries and
the nutrition facts label became commonplace, consumers, advocacy groups, and health
organizations have focused on the nutritional value of junk foods, including potato chips.
A recent long term study associates potato chip consumption as the most important
contributor to weight change, before potatoes and soft drinks.
Additionally, the starch in potato chips is known to cause tooth erosion.
Some potato chip companies have responded to the criticism, both informal and legal, by
investing in research and development to modify existing recipes and create health-conscious
products. Kettle Foods was founded in 1978 and currently sells only trans fat-free products,
used (but not universally) in other parts of the world, due to the influence of American
culture—and sometimes "crisps" for the same made from batter.

including potato chips. Pepsico research shows that approximately 80% of salt on chips is not
sensed by the tongue before being swallowed. Frito-Lay spent $414 million in 2009 on
product development, including development of salt crystals that would reduce the salt
content of Lay's potato chips without adversely affecting flavor.
A big concern about the nutrition of potato chips is that because they are often made with
salt, they may contain substantial levels of sodium. However, it has been claimed that potato
chips may actually contain less sodium/salt than the equivalent weight in corn flakes. The
excessive consumption of potato chips may cause obesity which can produce a rise in blood
pressure. It has been pointed out that potato chips contain less salt than Golden Graham
cereals. It should also be noted potato chips that may contain significant levels of potassium.

In 1932, salesman Herman Lay opened a snack food operation in Dorset, Ohio and, in 1938,
he purchased the Atlanta, Georgia potato chip manufacturer "Barrett Food Company, "
MALAY SRIVASTAVA
renaming it "H.W. Lay Lingo & Company." Lay criss-crossed the southern United States
selling the product from the trunk of his car. In 1942, Lay introduced the first continuous
potato processor, resulting in the first large-scale production of the product.
The business shortened its name to "the Lay's Lay Lingo Company" in 1944 and became the
first snack food manufacturer to purchase television commercials, with Bert Lahr as a
celebrity spokesman. His signature line, "so crisp you can hear the freshness," became the
chips' first slogan along with "de-Lay-sious!" As the popular commercials aired during the
1950s, Lay's went national in its marketing and was soon supplying product throughout the
United States.
In 1961, the Frito Company founded by Elmer Doolin and Lay's merged to form Frito-Lay
Inc., a snack food giant with combined sales of over $127 million annually, the largest of any
manufacturer. Shortly thereafter, Lays introduced its best-known slogan "betcha can't eat just
one." Sales of the chips became international, with marketing assisted by a number of
celebrity endorsers.
In 1965, Frito-Lay merged with the Pepsi-Cola Company to form PepsiCo, Inc. and a
barbecue version of the chips appeared on grocery shelves. A new formulation of chip was
introduced in 1991 that was crisper and kept fresher longer. Shortly thereafter, the company
introduced the "Wavy Lays" products to grocery shelves. In the mid to late 1990s, Lay's
modified its barbecue chips formula and rebranded it as "K.C. Masterpiece," named after a
popular sauce, and introduced a lower calorie baked version and a variety that was
completely fat-free (Lay's WOW chips containing the fat substitute olestra).

variety. At ten percent of the daily requirement per serving, vitamin C is the highest. Salt
content is particularly high, with a serving containing as much as 380 mg of sodium.
A one-ounce (28 gram) serving of Lay's regular potato chips has 160 Calories, and contains
ten grams of fat, with one gram of saturated fat. Kettle-cooked brands have seven to eight
grams of fat and one gram of saturated fat, and are 140 Calories. Lays Natural has nine grams
of fat, two grams of saturated fat and 150 Calories. Stax chips typically contain ten grams of
fat, 2.5 grams saturated fat and are 160 calories per serving. Wavy Lays are identical to the
regular brand, except for a half-gram less of saturated fat in some combinations. The various
brands do not contain any trans fats.
The baked variety, introduced in the mid 90's, feature 1.5 grams of fat per one ounce serving,
and have no saturated fat. Each serving has 110 to 120 Calories. Lay's Light servings are 75
Calories per ounce and have no fat.

Baked Lays are produced in cheddar, barbecue, sour cream and onion, and original flavors.
Animal origin enzymes
Some Frito-Lay brand seasoned products manufactured for the U.S. market may contain
rennet or pork enzymes that are added in cheese production. This makes them unsuitable for
vegetarians, pescatarians and vegans. Snacks marked "kosher" are free of animal enzymes.

heart, happen.
The new platform has been launched with a series of ads built around the universal consumer
struggle between what the mind asks one to do and what the heart desires. A powerful 360
degree approach supports the new TVC, and has indeed prompted consumers to be a little
Dillogical.
Brand Advantage
Lay’s is 100 percent vegetarian.

2. Certification by TQCSI (Australia), which confirms that products are manufactured
in a food safety environment and the manufacturing process has adequate controls to

process and product safety.
4. Our Plants are ISO 14000 certified , which confirms that the manufacturing process
ensures environmental safety.

The production process begins on farms in select regions across India where the best potatoes
are grown specifically for Frito-Lay. Upon the potatoes’ arrival at plants, it can take as little
as 24 hours for the chips to be made. Lay’s chips are made using the following simple
process:
Wash – the potatoes are thoroughly bathed in water.
Peel – next, we gently peel the skin off the potatoes, even as the flavour remains
intact.
Slice – The potatoes are thinly sliced and rinsed again to remove any remaining
starch.
Cook - The slices are cooked to a crispy crunch in edible vegetable oils.
Season – Finally, the chips are topped off with a mouthwatering sprinkle of salt or
seasoning
The potatoes have now become delicious chips and are packed and delivered to a store near
you.

LITERATURE REVIEW
According to Wellenius and Stern (2001) Lay's is the brand name for a number of potato
chip varieties as well as the name of the company that founded the chip brand in 1938. Lay's
chips are marketed as a division of Frito-Lay, a company owned by PepsiCo Inc. since 1965.
Other brands in the Frito-Lay group include Fritos, Doritos, Ruffles, Cheetos and Rold Gold
pretzels. In 1932 salesman Herman W. Lay opened a snack food operation in Nashville,
Tennessee and, in 1938, he purchased the Atlanta, Georgia potato chip manufacturer "Barrett
Food Company," renaming it "H.W. Lay & Company." Lay criss-crossed the Southern
United States selling the product from the trunk of his car. In 1942, Lay introduced the first
continuous potato processor, resulting in the first large-scale production of the product. The
business shortened its name to "the Lay's Company" in 1944 and became the first Snack food
manufacturer to purchase television commercials, with Bert Lahr as a celebrity spokesman.
His signature line, "so crisp you can hear the freshness," became the chips' first slogan along
with "de-Lay-sious!" As the popular commercials aired during the 1950s, Lay's went national
in its marketing and was soon supplying product throughout the United States.
Adam Braff, Passmore and Simpson (2003) In 1961, the Frito Company founded by Elmer
Doolin and Lay's merged to form Frito-Lay Inc., a snack food giant with combined sales of
over $127 million annually, the largest of any manufacturer. Shortly thereafter, Lays
introduced its best-known slogan "betcha you can't eat just one." Sales of the chips became
international, with marketing assisted by a number of celebrity endorsers. In 1965, Frito-Lay
merged with the Pepsi Cola Company to form PepsiCo, Inc. and a barbecue version of the
chips appeared on grocery shelves. A new formulation of chip was introduced in 1991 that
was crisper and kept fresher longer. Shortly thereafter, the company introduced the "Wavy
Lays" products to grocer shelves. In the mid to late 1990s, Lay's modified its barbecue chips

formula and rebranded it as "K.C. Masterpiece," named after a popular sauce, and introduced
a lower calorie baked version and a variety that was completely fat-free (Lay's WOW chips
containing the fat substitute olestra). In the 2000s, kettle cooked brands appeared as did a
processed version called Lay's Stax that was intended to compete with Pringles, and the
company began introducing a variety of additional flavor variations.
Dutt and Sundram (2004) Frito-Lay products presently control 55% of the United States
salty foods marketplace Except for barbecue-flavor potato chips, which were introduced no
later than 1958, up until the last 20 years, the only flavor of potato chips had been the
conventional one. Despite an explosion of new flavors, the unadorned original is still the
selection of 81% of consumers. In the United States, Lay's offers a number of flavor
combinations, in addition to the classic chips. Flavored products in the traditional fried
varieties include sour cream & Onion, Barbecue, cheddar & sour cream, Hidden Valley
Ranch, salt & vinegar, salt & pepper, Flamin' Hot, dill pickle, Limon (Lime) and a thicker
"Deli style" chip. Canadian sellers have a number of varied flavors, with curry, ketchup,
poutine, pizza, Fire’s Gravy, roast chicken, Smokey bacon, salsa, wasabi, spicy Indian masala
and sea salt and pepper brands available. The marketing success of these flavors in Canada
sometimes leads to a limited time offering of a flavor to the south, with the dill pickle
recently appearing in the United States after a successful run. Interestingly the name 'sour
cream' has got Lay's into a lot of confusion in some countries. In India for instance the name
was changed to American style cream and onion after consumers reported their discomfort
with the idea of 'sour' cream In the baked products, there are classic, barbecue and sour cream
& onion varieties. The kettle cooked version includes original, sea salt & vinegar, mesquite
barbecue and jalapeño brands. Wavy Lay's have original, hickory barbecue, ranch and Au
Gratin flavors while Lay's Stax offers original, sour cream & onion, cheddar, barbecue, ranch,

was altered and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allowed removal of warnings about
various health consequences of the fat substitute.Outside North America, Lay's in Greece and
Cyprus are made and packed by Tasty Foods and Carina Snacks LTD, with Mediterranean
flavors which include Feta cheese flavor, Tzatziki flavor, Olive and Tomato, Oregano, Sea
Salt & Black Pepper and various more. There are hundreds of sub-variations of the

variations of the Mediterranean tastes exist include Olive Oil and Parmesan Cheese, Olive Oil

with a bit of elite class and also working class. Middle class is the best responding class for
Frito-Lay products. The price of the small Frito-Lay products pack is Just Rs.5/-, so it is
affordable to every class of the country although those are not who are below working class
(labors). Frito-Lay is a legally registered company and applying labor laws and
market laws of India. But it is known to them that Government interaction got much
importance in every business and if there are some restrictions on them then it may be a
hurdle in their way to success. That’s why some harsh Government rules may influence a
wrong impact on company’s goals and achievements in future.
Rajan Bharti Mittal (2005) There are several factors affecting consumer behavior.
Consumer behavior is major challenge for every product. Some factors which affect
the consumer behavior on Lays are: Basically the Lays is launched for children and teen age
but because of its taste and variety, everyone is fan for Lays. It has fats, soft and crisp. The
older people like those can’t eat hard snacks, are prefer to Lays. The consumer of Lays
is not only for children and also everyone. The buyer’s are almost parents. They
prefer the Lays rather than other chips. Parents believe that Lays is not bad for health,
which does not mean that, it is good for health. Even though Lays is suitable to everyone, the
children are major influencer. The children mainly influenced by social factors that are
friends, family. Perception is also one of the influencing factors. In this, the people perceived
as, it’s made up of corn, rice meal and others. So that it is not bad for health. Brand is one
of the factors. It is come from PepsiCo. So that people have confident about
quality. The following data shows the influencer. From the above table we can understand
the influence of children rather than parents. It implies that the children have pestered
power. We can understand that, according to Food commission and
Advertisement Board, the Lays doesn’t full the children by its advertisement. Its
advertisement is major part of its success. It believes that, parents are the main
with a bit of elite class and also working class. Middle class is the best responding class for
Frito-Lay products. The price of the small Frito-Lay products pack is Just Rs.5/-, so it is
affordable to every class of the country although those are not who are below working class
(labors). Frito-Lay is a legally registered company and applying labor laws and

MALAY SRIVASTAVA
factor and buyer. It is come with different advertisement for each flavor. It is food
products. So the product should be very hygienic and available to everywhere. It
is major task for every product. In this case, Lays is available everywhere in
market. That is the major success factor. Lays is available from small petty shop,
small bakery to big malls and multiplexes. When I met the people for survey, I can
realize that it is available everywhere. I met the people who purchase the product from
reliance fresh and small bakery shop. There is no specific season or time for to
purchase the Lays. Most of the people purchase as the daily evening snakes. But,
during any special program like watching cricket matches, then the sale may
increase. Otherwise it is available product to everyone. The perception is different for
everyone. Perception means that how the person receive the data and how he use in
different situations. In this case, the perception varied according to people,
culture, demographic. Some people believe that, it is made up of corn, rice meal. So, it is
healthier than other products. The social factors are mainly family and friends.
According to me, the initial advertisement and promotions were attracting the
parents and all age peoples. But, the product is more dependent on the children.
From that we can understand the influence of the family on product. Similarly, friends
are also major social influence factors. They are the real promoters of
the product. A c c o r d i n g to us t h e l i f e st y l e m u s t i n f l u e n c e t h e

snacks, more quantity products. But, younger generation does not worry about the
price or quantity. They always prefer taste. Even though old generation
like Lays than other packed snacks, they give first preference to local or other
product which satisfies the needs. We already mentioned that different flavors like
French Cheese, Salted, Tango and etc. why they give different things because of
factor and buyer. It is come with different advertisement for each flavor. It is food
products. So the product should be very hygienic and available to everywhere. It

CONCLUSION
CONCLUSION
MALAY SRIVASTAVA
CONCLUSION
The packet size preferred by consumers for branded snacks is medium size RS 10 packet.
Lays is the market leader in the branded snacks market followed by Uncle Chips, however
there is huge gap between them. The quality and availability is the major factor for
consumers to prefer their favorite brand. Most preferred brand of Frito lay is Lays followed
by uncle chips after conducting the survey it can be said that ever since its launch, lays as a
preferred brand is on a rise. Although Lays is the most popular brand. Lays is in the growth
stage of its life cycle. It has been taking the shelf space of popular brands like Frito Lays due
to its strong distribution and marketing strategies. Given more time it is capable of capturing
a larger market share and giving tough competition to other brands. However Lays is a better
established brand and enjoys brand loyalty and to retain this brand loyalty the marketing
strategies used by Pepsi Co especially advertisement is really remarkable.

SUGGESTIONS
There is vast distribution gap between Uncle Chips and Frito-Lays which has to be filled
up in order to increase the sales.
Uncle chips can give advertisement at television, if we talk with cable operators for
our advertisement. They can show our ad. In their local channels in between their
movies shows.
We can introduce new consumer offer packs.
To some of posh area uncle chips can provide free sample so that the people get
aware of the product quality.
Uncle Chips has been around for a longer time and has its loyalists. Lays scores on
flavor while uncle chips are crunchier.
There is a need to put the image of uncle chips in the mind of customers before they
come to purchase at shop.
Lays uses celebrities as their Brand ambassadors to endorse their product and their
advertisements stands out in clutter. Though uncle chips humor element in
advertisement makes the ad unique it must not ignore the competitor approach and
design the Ads accordingly.
Uncle Chips should effectively use pull and push promotion strategy to win and
capture larger market share.
As lays always participates in world cup promotion and other sponsorships, Uncle
Chips should not overlook such platform.

LIMITATIONS
Although the study was carried out with extreme enthusiasm and careful planning there are
several limitations, which handicapped the research viz,
1. Time Constraints: The time stipulated for the project to be completed is less and thus
there are chances that some information might have been left out, however due care is taken
to include all the relevant information needed.
2. Sample size: Due to time constraints the sample size was relatively small and would
definitely have been more representative if I had collected information from more
respondents.
3. Accuracy: It is difficult to know if all the respondents gave accurate information; some
respondents tend to give misleading information.
4. Availability: It was difficult to find respondents as they were busy in their schedule, and
collection of data was very difficult
