Threat of new Entrants - LOW:
Cost of entry is quite high as it requires installation of a complete
plant and regulatory licenses that make entry for a new comer hard. Therefore it would be safe to say that with a history of strong market share, a potentially sustainable brand and the existing success story of Milo, with a hefty 20% chunk of the overall flavored milk subsector, Nestle Milk Pak will remain a secure
entity with less threats of new entrants to
Bargaining Power of Suppliers HIGH: Flavor is product differentiation and a value addition by adding a product to the portfolio. Thus the bargaining power of suppliers remain high as additional milk supply is demanded from them in order to make flavored milk. Already the suppliers enjoy huge bargaining power, an increase in demand will strengthen their position in the supply chain of the industry.
Rivalry among Competition - HIGH:
Rivalry is high amongst the competitors of the packaged milk industry as there is no competitive edge which a company enjoys and the competition is highly revolving around price factors.
Bargaining Power of Buyers
MODERATE TO HIGH: The bargaining power of consumers may be high, but this is moderate for Milk Pak as it overtime has established brand loyalty & enjoys consumers top of mind. The bargaining power of customers is same for the sub sector of the flavored milk market.
Threats of Substitutes MEDIUM:
Open threat could be from cannibalization of the newly launched product by Milo as it enjoys a strong market share and a history while other threat could be from the fizzy drinks with different flavors. Although milk is a different category but a strong marketing campaign where a perception built that flavored milk is better for the children, offering health benefits as it has fortified iron and Vitamin A and C, the threat of substitute products could be lowered down.
