Political enviornment

 Threat of new entrants

Since Vietnam joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) and import tax for


confectionery was reduced 20% in 2003, the domestic firms have been under the
competitive pressure from not only foreign firms but also the import. Many
organization and enterprises with potential of capital and technology will invest in
Vietnam market. That is a big challenge for existing firms requiring them to
continually improve technology.
 The threat of substitute products

In this case, the threat of substitute products is very low. Confectioneries


stratify a lot of customer needs such as enjoy needs, nutritional needs or use them as
gifts… There are very few products which can satisfy the same customer needs to
meet the demand of customers.
 The bargaining power of customers

Kinh Do’s distribution channel officially has been nation-wide with more than
200 distributors and 120.000 retail stores of food products and 65 distributors with
30.000 retail stores of refrigerated goods. Kinh Do also own retail channel with series
of Kinh Do Bakery in Hanoi. It has diverse and wide-reaching distribution channels
by paying attention to not only traditional channels but also to modern and public
channels including supermarkets, bakeries, canteen in schools and recreational areas.
So far, the corporation’s products are sales at stores and shops in both urban and rural
areas.
Kinh Do now is present all around Vietnam and the brand Kinh Do is well-
know with everybody with all kind of ages, careers, locations... However, Kinh Do
has just reach the target customers who has overage income while customers having
higher income prefers paying for imported or more high-grade products such as Paris
Gâteaux, Lambezt, Hollanda… The customer of Kinh Do care more about the quality
more than the price of product. Therefore, buyers have not much particular influence
on price and the bargaining power of buyers is not high.

 The bargaining power of suppliers

With the position of a leading foodstuff Corporation in Vietnam, all materials of


production are selected from the most prestigious domestic suppliers and
imported from France, Australia,Newzeland, Uru Guay, Thailand... and used for whole
Kinh Do system including Kinh Do Confectionery, North Kinh Do, Kinh Do Sai Gon,
Vinabico and cream products, yogurt.. of Kido Company in order to exploit the good
quality and certified sources of materials. Kinh Do always highly appreciates suppliers,
who have responsibility, creatively renovation, and continuously improve the material
quality and maintain competitive price in the market. Such effort will create and maintain
the win-win and long-term cooperation. Kinh Do has fix suppliers to ensure stability of
resources as well as stable cost. Hence, the bargaining power of suppliers is quite high.

Competitors are always the main force for association to do their business well because
their market share could be lost by these rivals. In case of Kinh Do, the rivalry amongst
current competitors is not high but it still has to be careful in every actions.
