1. Introduction<\/b><\/p>\n
Protein supplements have become increasingly popular due to growing health consciousness, fitness trends, and awareness about nutrition. India\u2019s market has seen many global and local brands compete for consumers\u2019 attention. Understanding customer ratings and preferences helps marketers, manufacturers, and researchers discover satisfaction levels among popular protein brands such as Optimum Nutrition, MuscleBlaze, Wellcore, and GNC.

2. Objectives of the Study<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 3. Literature Review<\/b><\/p>\n The global protein supplement market has grown rapidly (Grand View Research, 2023), driven by increasing fitness activities and health-related awareness. Previous studies suggest that consumers consider multiple factors such as product quality, efficacy, taste, price, and brand reputation when choosing protein products (Kumar & Singh, 2022). User satisfaction analysis using statistical techniques like ANOVA aids in understanding comparative perceptions across brands (Patel & Mehta, 2021).<\/p>\n A study by Sharma and Roy (2024) found that brand image and perceived effectiveness significantly impact customer preference in nutritional supplements. This research applies one-way ANOVA to discover whether significant differences exist in customer ratings among major protein brands.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 4. Data Collection<\/b><\/p>\n The data used in this research were collected through primary sources \u2014 customer ratings on a scale of 1 to 10 for selected protein brands.<\/p>\n 4.1 Sample Design<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 5. Statistical Tool Used<\/b><\/p>\n A one-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)<\/b> was used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference in mean customer ratings among the four brands.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 6.

Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n The study indicates that customers rate protein brands differently. This suggests that customers perceive noticeable differences in product attributes such as taste, brand trust, effectiveness, and value for money. Marketers and manufacturers should consider these aspects to enhance customer satisfaction and brand competitiveness.<\/p>\n Future research could analyze specific factors affecting preference like price sensitivity, nutritional content, and demographic characteristics.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n 9.

Since the F-value is greater than F-critical and the p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected. There is a significant difference<\/b> in mean customer ratings among the protein brands.<\/p>\n\n
