As part of its campaign, Thai Preserved Food has launched two new flavours – Wai Wai Tom Yum Nam Khon and Wai Wai Tom Yum Nam Sai – and is planning to invest Bt 80m (US$1.8m) in a marketing campaign, which includes a TV advertisement due to air on Friday. It is hoped that the new flavours will help boost Wai Wai’s market share to 38% by the end of 2003.
The long-term aim of the company is to become the market leader in the instant noodle sector by 2006, with a market share of at least 45%. Thai President Foods’ Ma Ma brand currently has a market share of 50%, reported the Nation.
