SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
Market leader with 55% market share. Strong in inventory control. The pricing strategy is oriented to middle and lower-end
consumers. Widest product range in terms of products, shades, pack sizes. Comprehensive nation wide coverage of the market. Brand name with 68 year experience
WEAKNESS
Seasonal demand and hence in off seasons it can
lead to cash flow problems. Innovation in developing new product is inadequate. Weakness on the technology front in industrial paints. In industrial paints, AP has only a 15% market share
OPPORTUNITIES
Acquiring/ increasing market share in Industrial
paint sector. Competitors have gone in for hi-technology compare to Asian Paints. The automobile industry accounted for 50% of the industrial markets.
THREATS
Domination of few foreign companies. Competition is catching up fast, hi-tech facilities
Asian Paints is planning to increase the capacity by setting up a plant at Rohtak, Haryana. No other company is planning to increase its capacity in the near future, this will give Asian Paints a competitive advantage in terms of pricing. GDP growth slowdown in the growth rate of two important activities i.e. repaint activity and construction activity will have direct impact on the volume of APL, thus effecting its profitability and margins. Rural markets have considerable potential. Companies that can establish a dealer network in these markets are likely to get the edge in positing above par growth rates over the next few years.
As setting up distribution infrastructure is expensive, it would mean that the competition is limited to the top players.
Due to substantial hike in raw material prices, Asian Paints has raised the prices of solvent based paints, thus demand would be affected to some extent.
