Porter’s five forces analysis
Competitive Rivalry within an industry:• Presence of Foreign giants like SabMiller.• Strong Presence of Local brand United
Breweries.• Strong competition against distilled spirits as
they are more consumed than beer.• Too many local brands varying from state to
state.
Bargaining Power of suppliers:• Availability of raw materials at low cost• Problem is with the infrastructure like roads,
electricity.• Certain materials required to import to
maintain European standards involve then import tax
Threat of substitute products:• Local Brands available at more cheaper prices• Fake brands available in the name of
Carlsberg: Distorting the brand image
Bargaining Power of Buyers:• Presence of large number of options including
local and foreign brands• Mostly consumers are spirit takers• Price wars
Threat of new entrants• Ease on FDI policy may attract more foreign
giants.• Untapped potential in rural segment• Though high taxes levied make entrance
difficult
SWOT AnalysisStrengths
• Production and product quality.• They have superior production
processes and technology compared to domestic firms and should thus be able to produce with greater efficiency leading to lower costs.
• Carlsberg India to take advantage of economies of scale in production by an intense marketing effort to increase volumes.
• Involved in a substantial number of joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions in recent years.
• Their excellent capabilities within logistics.
Weakness
• They do not have an advantage with regard to economies of scale compared to United Breweries.
• The barley produced in India is not of the same standard as available abroad and therefore fails to meet Carlsberg’s strict quality standards. Therefore lots of expenses in
logistics.
Opportunities:
• Instead of importing barley, grow in India. The lower cost of labor helps a lot
• Setup a manufacturing unit in each state so as to save tax.
• More Greenfield investments.
Threats:
• Local brands providing beverages at lower prices.
• Import taxes• Variable taxes levied by
different state government• Strict government
regulations against drink
Recommendations
• Greenfield investment• Produce internally• More expenditure on marketing
