level in order to prevent the loss of labor force and prevent the company

food and nutrition market

more than 100 years of its business
Its product are economical, natural and nutritious, hence captures
customers of all the segments

product to its customers throughout the year.

in the world
Advance setup facilities which provide the quality in the food products
and the purity in the bottled water in a consistent manner.

Weakness
Even though the company is in existence for more than 100 years, it is
not able to market its product to the extent of its near competitors,
which reflects its weaker communication to its customers.
The company has increased the range of products, however it is
lagging behind in innovation as compared to other competitors.


Opportunities
There has been an increase in the preference of the people
towards dairy products. In many of the countries people are
becoming vegetarian from non-vegetarian. This has opened
up a new market for Nestle.
Nestle has the opportunity to enter into other smaller niche
markets in the food and yogurt market.
Nestle can increase the product line in the yogurt market till
the time it is their main source of income.

Threats
Many companies are diversifying and trying to gain the
advantage of increasing yogurt market which can eat up the
market share of Nestle.
The decrease of cattle in many countries can impact the
profit margin and the revenue for the company.
Intense competition in the yogurt and food market in almost
all the country
New entrants and smaller companies and producing the
similar product that of Nestle which is again eating up the
market shares of the company.
Macro Environment
In case of Nestle and its offered products, these factors do not create much
impact in general scenario. However as we have seen the major events like World
War had created a positive impact on the sale of confectionary products of the
company. The culture has some impact in this company as whether the country
has most people as vegetarian or non vegetarian the consumption of milk products
is always there. However the countries where the people are more dependent on
milk products are profitable market for Nestle.

Political Environment: the government has never imposed any political pressure
in fact they have always supported foreign investment and foreign businesses to
grow. As the company is into food and nutrition business they have to just
adhere to the laws of food and nutrition policies of government and constantly
provide good quality which is the vision and mission of the company thus Nestle
never faces any problems on political front.

Cultural Environment: in each country, Nestle adapt its products following its
culture.

Economical Environment: the disposable income of country and the high living
standard of Suisse always give better bigger business opportunities for Nestle.

Technological Environment technologically, Nestle arm herself in each country
of technological work force the highly skilled and educated manpower.
