OPPURTUNITIES

New Markets: Globalisation has opened doors for new markets for the company. As the developed markets are mostly saturated, the developing countries like India and China promises a good market and generation of demand in the future. With more than 70% of the markets in india being unexplored and un organised, KFC has a good scope of expanding its operations in the country. New variety: Company can also come up with new variety in the menu like Pizzas, garlic breads to attract more customers.

THREATS

Competition: Competitor companies like McDonalds are fast catching up with the market.McDonalds with sales of more than 19 billion in 1999, accounted for 15 percent of the sales of the nations top 100 restaurant chains. Organisations like PETA People for Ethnic Treatment for Animals have given a bad name to the company which may prove disastrous to the image of the firm. Currently, KFC is undermassive attacks from animal organisations, questioning the way KFCs suppliers are threatening the chicken, before they got slaughtered. AntiKFC campaigns, such as the one from PETA are affecting KFCs brand image in a negative way and result in direct dollar losses, as less people are consuming KFC chicken Saturated US Market: Now KFC cannot rely on just its home market to generate sales. As the US markets are already saturated and leave no or little scope for growth, company necessarily needs to look at offshore foreign markets to generate sales
