II. Situation Analysis


Category/ Competitor Definition The chocolate industry is as popular as any in the world with the amount of people that enjoy the delicious taste. There are many companies involved in the industry but none are more powerful than the four which are known as the "Big Chocolate". Mars, Nestle, Cadbury, and Hershey are the major companies at the forefront of the chocolate industry. One of the big four is Mars Incorporated which does not just dedicate their business to chocolate. They devote their expertise over snack foods, pet care, main meal food, drinks, electronics, and information technology. It is amazing they can compete at the highest level in all of these categories. Thanks to the five principles that shape the company they are able to sustain excellence in the different areas while not losing an edge to their competitors. The five principles are quality, responsibility, mutuality, efficiency, and freedom. By following these

principles, Mars Inc. is able to compete in the chocolate industry without being solely devoted to the brand. The Nestle Company has been around since Henri Nestle (a Swiss pharmacist) developed baby food for infants in the 1860s that were unable to breastfeed. Its headquarters are in Vevey, Switzerland and is the world's biggest food and beverage company. Nestle expanded their products in the 1920s to chocolate and quickly saw immediate rewards with large profits. World War II damaged the company's profits as it dropped from $20 million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939. Although, the war allowed the company to introduce a popular beverage into the market as the armies began obsessing over the Nescafe product. Since then, Nestle has made major acquisitions to expand their company as the trade barriers crumbled and world markets developed into more or less integrated areas. The most important acquisition occurred in 1996 obtaining Carnation (an American food giant). Nestle also follows a series of principles promoting fairness, honesty, and a general concern for people. They are very concerned about keeping the shareholders happy and delivering a high value product. The Hershey Company is the most well known in the United States with their headquarters in Hershey, Pennsylvania. It is a leading snack food company and the largest North American manufacturer of quality chocolate and non-chocolate confectionery products, with revenues of over $4 billion and more than 13,000 employees worldwide. Milton S. Hershey started the company in 1893 and became the first American company capable of processing milk chocolate. The Hershey Company is committed to diversity in everything they do ranging from ideas to the workforce. They are not satisfied with being single minded and only good at one thing. Diversity is the key to the Hershey Company. Category Analysis

a rate of 5% (compound annual growth rate). Growth in developed markets, which represent around 60% of the total by value, has been at around 3% p.a. whereas growth in emerging markets, the remaining 40%, has been strong at around 10% p.a. The chocolate market is in its Maturity Stage with continuous revenue growth and consumption levels have been largely static in recent years. But despite its maturity, overall retail sales of confectionery are forecast to grow by 21% in value at current prices between 1999 and 2004. Sugar confectionery is expected to grow twice as fast as chocolate, albeit from a smaller base. Trade research shows that almost 40% of chocolate sales takes place in the first quarter of the year, which itself can be divided into Easter and Spring occasions such as Valentine's and Mother's Days. Overall, the emphasis of sales and marketing is year-round, with an increased focus during the holiday seasons Between 2006 and 2010, the global confectionery market is forecast to increase by over 16% in value terms, reaching more than USD145bn. Volume sales are expected to amount to over 17.8 million tonnes by 2010 Chocolate is mainly a regional business where consumers seek a particular taste in each market. This brings about fragmentation in

the market as well as complexities in production. The chocolate industry has no barrier to entry and this make this industry open to competition and make it attractive The chocolate and cocoa industry does have a significant economy of scale entry barrier because large companies exist in the industry that has high production output, which reduces the cost to produce chocolate and cocoa. If a new competitor wanted to enter the market, the company would have to enter the market producing a large quantity at the same low price as competitors or the company would have to compete with a cost disadvantage. Because economies of scale exist in the industry, it deters smaller competitors from entering into the market and reduces the threat of entrants. Product differentiation is another entry barrier in the chocolate and cocoa industry. There are many competitors in the industry that have remarkably identifiable brand names and customer loyalty All of the companies have established brand names and customer loyalty, which creates a considerable entry barrier for new companies. Thus, the new company must increase spending to overcome the reputation and large customer base of the existing companies. But since Cadbury Dairy Milk is

extremely differentiated, the buyer has low power to play competitors against each other and reduce the cost. Large capital requirements create an entry barrier for new entrants because it requires the company to have a significant source of capital to get started. The large capital investment entails costs for items such as production equipment, labor, raw materials, and research and development. In addition to these costs, a new company would need to spend a large amount of money on advertising and marketing to overcome product differentiation Switching cost create a barrier to entry for new companies entering the chocolate and cocoa industry. Switching the supplier of chocolates raw materials such as cocoa beans, sugar, and milk create additional testing and research that must be completed by the company to ensure correct quality, safety and taste. Chocolate products are sold through a wide range of outlets which vary from market to market. The share of the impulse channel outlets where product is bought on impulse from display rather than as part of planned shopping is roughly 40% in developed markets and is greater in some emerging markets. The bargaining power of buyers is increased by two factors: a number of large volume buyers and the buyers relatively low profits from the product. However, the bargaining power of buyers is low to moderate because of the industrys differentiated products,

the presence of switching costs, the lack of threat of backward integration and the reliance on the industrys product. Bargaining power of suppliers Pressure from substitutes the bargaining power is low due to large no of supplier Confectionary products are bought either as snacks or as luxury/gift items. Therefore, substitutes include savory snacks, fresh fruit, alcoholic beverages and other nonfood items. For retailers, it is usually easier to store confectionaries rather than most of their substitutes, for example, potato chips or fresh fruit. So, although there are a large variety of items that can serve as substitutes for Cadbury's products, most of them are less practical for retailers to store. Overall, the threat from substitutes is moderate. As the business is characterized by automated, high-volume manufacturing, fixed costs are high and capacity changes easy to implement; these act as sparks driving up rivalry. There are a large number of companies which participate in the markets on only a regional or local basis. Cadbury competes against multinational, regional and national companies. Innovation such as web marketing is a major driver of growth in developed markets where premium and better-for-you products are prevailing themes.

Planning Assumptions Market Potential Chocolate Market in U.S sales is increasing every year. In 2007, total chocolate sales equaled 141.2, and in year after sales increased to 158.5 billion dollars. This substantial gain is expected to repeat, and by year 2013, total sales are going to reach above 180 billion dollars. Without a doubt, the chocolate industry can be expected to be successful for years to come. Category and product sales forecast U.S. Market for Chocolate With 2006 sales estimated at close to $16 billion through all channels, chocolate is forecast to grow to $18 billion by 2011, according to the U.S. Market for Chocolate, a fully updated Packaged Facts report. Strong consumer interest in the reported health benefits of dark chocolate and a general trend towards product premiumization (including organic and fair trade products) are offsetting steady declines in other categories, such as sugar-free and novelty products. For example, the market share for premium chocolate grew from 13% of the total market in 2002 to nearly 17% in 2006. Cadbury beat sales forecasts and raised targets in a bumper thirdquarter trading report, pushing up its shares and pressuring suitor Kraft to come up with a bigger bid to win its takeover battle. Sales forecast approach used: Top-down approach Uses Quantitative Technique of Forecasting 3-year Moving Average Method is implemented Year divided into 12 periods Seasonality also taken into account Major Emphasis on last years data
