Firm Infrastructure
 Nestlé India today has 8 factories across the country.
Quality is the core value that unites them.
 Manufacturing plants have helped to create large skilled
labor forces in rural areas.
 Its infrastructure strives to identify external opportunities
and threats.
SWOT Analysis: Strengths
 Unmatched research and development capability- Nestlé’s key
competitive advantage is its R&D. It has the largest R&D centres’
 with one of the best geographically diversified revenue sources-
Nestlé operates and sells its products in 189 countries, reaching
almost the entire world.
 Maggi. Brand awareness helps the company to introduce new
products and sell the current products more easily.
 Nestlé’s product portfolio is wider than any of its rivals in the
industry.
 Environmental sustainability efforts- Nestle pride itself on
company’s sustainability efforts.
 Ownership of some of the most recognizable brands in the world-
Nestle owns and markets a few well recognized brands, such as
Nestlé, Nescafé
Weakness
 Criticism over high water usage, selling contaminated food, anti-
unionism, forced child labour and using other unethical practices
 Contaminated food recalls- In 2015, Nestle recalled and
destroyed 35,000 tons of contaminated Maggi noodles in India.
This resulted in hundreds of millions in lost sales and damaged
brand reputation
 Complex supply chain configuration.
Opportunities
 Nestle, which has a history of providing misleading nutritional
information on its labels should improve its practices and clearly label
the products.
 Nestlé could start sourcing all of its materials from sustainably grown
plantations and farms.
 where the established brands are losing sales and the capital is still
very cheap, Nestlé could increase its investments in start-ups that will
help the company to meet the future challenges and increase the
sales.
Threats
 In the future, water scarcity will likely become a more significant
problem that will negatively impact company’s operations.
 Food and beverage markets are growing very slowly and with so
many new start-ups, Nestle will find it hard to compete in the future.
 Nestlé’s profit margins are dependent, to some extent, on the price
of coffee beans, which over the past several years has been very
volatile
