EXECUTIVE INSIGHT · INDIA RETAIL · DISPLAY BRANDS
Counter Share
The number most display brands — and their partners — never measure.
Market share is one thing. Counter share is the truth — your shelf presence at the store.
TWO NUMBERS. ONLY ONE GETS MEASURED.
Market Share
- Your sales
- Total national market
- Reported quarterly
- Useful for investors
Counter Share
- Your visibility
- Everything sold in that counter
- Measured daily
- Drives actual sales
WHY ALMOST NO ONE MEASURES IT
Retailers talk stock, not distribution.
Visibility slips while distributors focus on numbers.
Presence in modern trade differs from traditional trade.
Annual reports never reveal shelf-level reality.
Partners rarely share counter data.
THE INDIAN REALITY
Deeply Fragmented
Thousands of independent dealers influence buying decisions.
Multi-brand Counters
Most stores display several competing brands side by side.
Relationships Matter
Retail influence often outweighs advertising.
The "Last Three Feet"
Purchase decisions happen at the counter, not online reports.
