SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
•Strong brand names like Cadbury Dairy Milk, Five star and Eclairs.
•Rich product mix.
•Support from the parent Cadbury Schweppes.
Weaknesses:
•Lack of launch of new brands in Chocolates segment.
Opportunities:
•The Indian market and more specifically the urban areas where the
penetration of Chocolates is low can be developed as a future market
through affordability and availability.
•Using information and technology to bring efficiency in logistics and
distribution.
Threats:
•Stiff competition in Confectionery segment.
•The company has large exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk,
mainly on account of imported cocoa beans and cocoa butter in US
Dollar and Pound Sterling.
