10. SWOT Analysis of Nestle, the popular food brand:
Since its formation, Nestle has made a number of corporate acquisitions and
is also listed as the top most profitable corporation in the world. So, keeping
these points and impressive figures in mind, let’s do a SWOT analysis of
Nestle, to get a better perspective of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats to this popular food brand.
11. Strengths
The multinational company is successfully operating in more than 100
countries and has an unmatchable distribution channel around the world.
To maintain its leading position in the market, Nestle has not only been
forming partnerships with other leading companies, but is also acquiring
several others, resulting in remarkable growth.
Nestle is a reputable brand and is well-known almost everywhere, as its
products are used by millions of people each day.
12. Weaknesses
The next step to SWOT analysis of Nestle is its weaknesses:
Perhaps the biggest weakness is their inability to provide consistency in
the quality of their food products, as Nestle often has to call in many
products due to poor supplies or contamination, hurting the image of the
company.
Nestle has faced a lot of criticism on a variety of issues, such as the
horsemeat scandal and child labor, which it has not been able to avert.
13. Opportunities

LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE OPPORTUNITIES THE COMPANY HAS:
THE INCREASING DEMAND FOR HEALTHY FOOD PRODUCTS HAS
OPENED UP AN IMMENSE MARKET FOR COMPANIES. NESTLE IN
RESPONSE TO THE HEALTH TREND TRIES TO INTRODUCE HEALTHIER
FOOD PRODUCTS.

MAJOR COMPANIES, SUCH AS COCA-COLA, AND SEVERAL OTHERS,
OPENING DOORS OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMPANY
14. Threats
AND FINALLY, THE FINAL PART TO COMPLETING SWOT ANALYSIS OF

THE BRAND’S IRRESPONSIBILITY TO RUN THOROUGH QUALITY
ASSURANCE ON ITS PRODUCTS RESULTED IN PROVIDING
CONTAMINATED FOOD AND OTHER PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET,
WHICH CAN HURT THE REPUTATION OF THE COMPANY AND LEAD TO
LOSSES.
NESTLE IS THE LEADING SUPPLIER OF CHOCOLATE AND COCOA
PRODUCTS. THE INCREASING TREND TOWARDS HEALTHY EATING
WILL RESULT IN MAJOR DECLINES IN DEMAND.
THE DEMAND FOR RAW FOOD IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE AS
POPULATION AND ECONOMY GROWS. AS A RESULT, NESTLE WILL
HAVE TO FACE HIGHER COSTS AND TIGHTER MARGINS.
15. Market Segmentation:
THE MARKETING CONCEPT ASKS FOR
UNDERSTANDING CUSTOMERS’ REQUIREMENTS
AND SATISFYING THEIR REQUIREMENTS AND NEEDS
BETTER THAN THE OTHERS DO. BUT MANY
CUSTOMERS HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS AND
IT HARDLY CHANCE TO SATISFY ALL CUSTOMERS
BY TREATING THEM SAME JUST LIKE. MARKET
SEGMENTATION IS THE SEARCHING OF PART OF THE
MARKET THAT ARE NOT SIMILAR FROM OTHER.
16. Users markets can be divided on the basis of these customer

popular with marketers so that they are often associated

However, their sales declined to -1 % as compared to last year.
Last year growth in sales This year growth in sales
20% 19%
• As per the meeting with the Brand manager juices, we got an insight about
customer attitude, competitors, product development etc.
• Total contribution of orange juice is 20% to revenue in the juices category;
however the overall market share of juices is 60%.
32. Customer Attitude
The main concern that the consumers of Nestle Orange juices have
regarding the juice is related to the purity of the juice. The factor and
the feature that they are most concerned with is that is the juice 100%
pure and healthy?
33. The responses of prior studies reveal:
• People actually think that fruit juices are not that great for them because of
the fructose (fruit sugar). They think that when this fructose is processed its pure
sugar gets TERRIBLE for their health. So the solution to them is that if they want
to have a taste of orange they should try having an actual orange because the fiber
in the pulp skin and roughage will slow the absorption of the fructose.
