Henri Nestlé The key factor which drove the early history of the enterprise that would become The Nestlé Company was Henri Nestlé's search for a healthy, economical alternative to breastfeeding for mothers who could not feed their infants at the breast. In the mid-1860s Nestlé, a trained pharmacist began experimenting with various combinations of cow's milk, wheat flour and sugar in an attempt to develop an alternative source of infant nutrition for mothers who were unable to breast feed.

It depends on height of entry barriers and on the reaction entrants can expect from incumbents. The Nestle has a dominate position in nutrition and health product industry, which defect new entries strongly. Because the barriers to enter are really high: need advanced infant formula technics, which is one of the incumbents’ advantages * distributive brands nearly 6000 * need huge capital amount * customers’ preference to the familiar brand The bargaining power of suppliers Powerful suppliers capture more of the value for themselves by charging higer prices, limiting quality or services, or shifting costs to industry participants.

...Five Forces Model Porter’s Five Forces Model was created to act as a framework for industry analysis and business strategy development. Porter singled out five different forces that impact competitive intensity which portrays an image of the overall attractiveness and profitability of a market. To aid in our evaluation of Nestle and its status in the industry, we will apply Porter’s Five Forces Model to the company. Threat of New Entrants The food processing industry is very large and competitive; it is not uncommon for firms within the industry to do quite well. As a result, many companies enter into the market every year in an attempt to gain a portion of the profitable market. Luckily for Nestle, the company has been around for over a century and boasts a long history of quality products and consumer satisfaction which has allowed the company to obtain a considerable share of the market. As a result, new entrants into the industry must attempt to seize a portion of Nestlé’s market share in order to survive. Essentially, Nestle is constantly a target and so the threat of new entrants is moderate. Threat of Substitute Goods Due to the nature of the industry, Nestle is beset with the threat of substitute goods. From bottled water to lean pockets, there are arrays of similar products that compete directly with Nestle. It is vital for Nestle to continuously find new ways to improve its products as the competition is so fierce. In recent years, Nestle has focused...

...Nestle Porter's 5 Forces * What does the model tell you about the nature of competition in the industry? External Analysis (Porter's Five Forces Analysis) Threat of Substitute products (low) Food and beverage market has a long industry chain and big industry span so threat in substitute products is low. Giants such as Wrigley (Mars, Milkway, Snickers and etc), Unilever (Knorr, Cornetto ,Lipton Ice tea and etc) ,Coca Cola, Nestle have similar products to offer to customers. But in Nestle case threat of substitute products is high because of wide range of similar products that can compete directly with Nestlé. For example, Danone led Nestle to decreasing sales in 2009 in European Markets. In order to make a differentiation in the worldwide market Nestle should innovate its products to stay in the market and to go beyond its substitutes. Recent innovation made by Nestle health consciousness and wellness factor that has been introduced in all products of company. Threat of new Entrants (low) The company has been lunched since 1866 which gave Nestle a wide experience in the food and beverage industry. With substantial brand equity and a base of loyal customers Nestlé is at an insignificant risk from entrants. Nestlé has an advantage of holding majority of the share in the market where competition is becoming increasingly fierce in the world today. Although the food and beverage industry is very competitive and is constantly evolving with entrants, small business...

...The Bottled Water Industry Threat of entry of new competitors is low. Firstly, the competitors that currently exist are large, dominating companies who already own a huge market share of the industry. New entrants attempting to enter the market will have compete with established brands such as Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestle. These brands have decades of experience in the food & beverage industry, have developed brand recognition & loyalty and have achieved low-cost production and distribution capabilities that cannot be easily matched. Secondly, it is expensive to initially develop the infrastructure to produce the product. The case states that prices for bottle-filling lines range from $125,000 to over $100 million, not to mention the costs associated with “source certification, road grading, and installation of pumping equipment …” which require approximately $300,000 worth of investment. Threat of substitute products/services is high. Numerous bottled and non-bottled products that can easily substitute bottled water. The main factor that differentiates bottled water from other soft drinks is that it caters to a health-conscious market because it has no sugar and no calories. However, today, there are several healthy soft drinks that are ‘zero-sugar added’, ‘zero-calorie’ alternatives to water. Coke zero, crystal light powders, diet sodas, zero-calorie energy drinks, etc. are just some examples. Tap water is also a substitute product because many people simply trust...

...dynamics of competitors within an industry is critical for several reasons. First, it can help to assess the potential opportunities for your venture, particularly important if you are entering this industry as a new player. It can also be a critical step to better differentiate yourself from others that offer similar products and services. One of the most respected models to assist with this analysis is Porter’s Five Forces Model. This model, created by Michael E. Porter and described in the book “Competitive Strategy: Techniques for Analyzing Industries and Competitors,” has proven to be a useful tool for both business and marketing-based planning. Background The pure competition model does not present a viable tool to assess an industry. Porter’s Five Forces attempts to realistically assess potential levels of profitability, opportunity and risk based on five key factors within an industry. This model may be used as a tool to better develop a strategic advantage over competing firms within an industry in a competitive and healthy environment. It identifies five forces that determine the long-run profitability of a market or market segment. * Suppliers * Buyers * Entry/Exit Barriers * Substitutes * Rivalry Supplier power * Supplier concentration * Importance of volume to supplier * Differentiation of inputs * Impact of inputs on cost or differentiation * Switching costs of firms in the industry * Presence of substitute inputs ...

...The Five Forces Model of Competition The model above is known as the Five Forces Analysis which was designed and created by Michael Porter of Harvard Business School. Each shape defines the five forces that shape competitive rivalry and is relevant to industry profitability. Each new entrant to an industry faces competitive pressures from: • Buyer bargaining power and seller buyer collaboration. • Companies in other industries to win buyers over to substitute products. • Supplier bargaining power and supplier-seller collaboration. • The threat of new entrants into the market. • Rivalry among competing sellers to attract new customers. For a new entrant to the automobile industry there is generally a very low threat. In order for a new entrant to be successful they must be able to mass-produce. Due to the expense of mass production, a new entrant must have a large amount of capital to compete in the automobile industry. Buyers and customers both have high bargaining power when purchasing an automobile. Buyer power is strong when a consumer has a multitude of products to choose from. An example would be choosing to purchase a Ford Expedition or Chevrolet Tahoe. Both are similar in size, gas mileage per gallon, seating and engine size. Each vehicle is produced by a different manufacturer which gives the consumer the ability to create competition. In addition manufacturers are forced to create quality automobiles in order to maintain customer...
