Abstract:-
The study is aimed to determine the consumer preference of international brands over local brands in FMCG Products. As Pakistan is a poor nation where per capita income is $1254. In this kind of scenario it looks very difficult for an Average Pakistani to buy an International Brand. Other factors are also important to buy an international brand such as Information regarding the product, Advertising campaign of the product and the awareness of the product.
Sample of this Research is taken from the 100 (Hundred) Students of “Pakistan air force Karachi institute of Economics and technology” (PAF-KIET) from which Fifty are male students and Fifty are female Students.
It has been found that the consumers like to prefer International brands instead of local brands because they think that international brands are durable and reliable and local brands are lacking these two qualities.
Introduction:-
There are so many researches in the world which are similar to my research but I think my research may help international manufacturers and local manufacturers to understand the consumer preference of Pakistani while selecting a brand. World is become Smaller day by day so as international firms are trying to chase their target consumer almost at every place on the earth. In Pakistan there are so many cultures having so many beautiful colors are also playing their part in order to buy any product.
Purpose of Study:-
Why consumers in Pakistan are considering international brands over local brands in FMCG products?
If they prefer international brand over local brand so what are the reasons behind it?
Are there any issue regarding the durability, quality and price between the international and local FMCG Products?

    Certain international market segments, we have little operating experience and may not benefit from any first-to-market advantages or otherwise succeed. It is costly to establish, develop and maintain international operations and websites and promote our brand internationally. Local companies may have a substantial competitive advantage because of their greater understanding of, and focus on, the local customer, as well as their more established local brand names. We may not be able to hire, train, retain, and manage required personnel, which may limit our international growth.…

    It goes without saying that in order to be successful in a global market, one cannot blindly roll out a stock product and call it a day. Covering the globe is not a “one and done” process—personalities, tastes, price sensitivities, cultural fads, nods, and nuances must be taken into consideration. Even aesthetics (packaging, colors, logo) and name can be absorbed differently per country.…

    People should not be locked into the use of one or two categories of products, therefore companies have to expand their brands to fit into the lives of consumers. People are unique and so are the preferences of their needs and wants. A basic product such as laundry detergent that so many consumers use on a continuing basis can be affected solely by the consumer. There are many factors that influence consumer purchases, psychological and social being the main facts. Everything from motives, perception and attitudes contribute to the influence consumer behavior toward the products.

    The country, the type of product, and the image of the company and its brands all influence whether the country of origin will engender a positive or negative reaction. A variety of generalization can be made about country of origin effects on products and brands. Consumers tend to have stereotypes about products and countries that have been formed by experience, hearsay, and myth (Piron, 2000, p. 308; Roth and Rameo, 1992, p.479).…

    consumer attitudes toward foreign products have been conducted from time to time by various scholars of our country. The study observes that the impact of consumer interest in foreign product arises from foreign travel, branding of product and due to advent of technology etc. Evaluation of the products, however is done on the basis of available alternatives and most of the times by comparison of products. Often there may be some negative attitudes among consumers for foreign products which may arise from number of sources.

    Global Brands vs Local

    There are many commodities that make global brands great and successful. In the United States today us as Americans buy mostly global brands. Not many products sold in stores today say “Made in the USA”. The trend has definitely reached other countries around the globe. Two direct quotes from an article published by Harvard Business School called, “How Consumers Value Global Brands”, said “A focus-group participant in Russia told us: "The more people who buy [a] brand…the better quality it is." A Spanish consumer agreed: "I like [global] brands because they usually offer more quality and better guarantees than other products." I agree with both these statements because global companies usually have more consistent and higher quality products then just your average local store. For example the difference between a multinational coffee company such as Dunkin Donuts, which I visit three times daily on average, and your local bagel store. Dunkin Donuts has high quality products because people buy their coffee all the time, so 1. they are used to dealing with high volume consumers and 2. they know how to keep there product consistent and at a quality that will bring people back. The local store might not have that consistence with their coffee and food and might lose consumers. The reason for it is poor training, poor products or lack of money to bring in higher quality products.…
