Threats
Existence of fragmented markets which include competition from several local brands.
Strong competition from the established market players like HUL which holds a larger market share. For example, in terms of market share for fairness creams, Fairever brand has a market share of 9.5% as against 62% of Fair & Lovely. Similarly, Spinz talcum powder had a market share of 4.27% in 2004 as against 55% market share of HUL. Also, while Cavinkare’s distribution system reached out to 0.75 million outlets, HUL has a direct coverage of about 1 million outlets.
Presence of various easily available substitutes.
Changing trends in consumer usage pattern - Market turbulence is also a major threat
