Title

A Study on Consumer Buying Behaviour Towards OsmoIn Packaged Drinking Water: A Case Study in the West Bengal Market

Abstract

The Indian packaged drinking water (PDW) market is rapidly expanding, driven by growing health awareness and critical concerns regarding municipal water quality. For regional brands, success is dictated by their ability to establish consumer trust and secure efficient distribution channels. This study focuses on OsmoIn, a regional packaged drinking water brand in West Bengal, analysing the factors that influence consumer purchase decisions and retailer stocking behaviour. Utilizing a mixed-method approach, primary data were collected through quantitative consumer surveys (N=100) and structured retailer interviews (N=30) in the Kolkata metropolitan area. The findings reveal that Brand Reputation/Trust is the primary purchase driver (45% of respondents) over price (25%), underscoring the market's safety-first mind-set. Furthermore, the retailer channel is highly sensitive to operational reliability, with distributor inconsistency posing a major threat to brand availability. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for OsmoIn, emphasizing transparency in quality assurance and optimization of B2B logistics to ensure sustainable growth against dominant national brands.
