Canada’s demographic trend is very unique due to the increasing number of immigrants and its aging population.

The second force that I will use to analyze the Trader Joe’s company is the “the rivalry among established competitors”. Factors to consider when looking at the rivalries in the industry are industry demand, cost conditions, and exit barriers.

Consumers that want unique experiences with their food are able to do exactly that at

Treating all of Canada as one market has many advantages. A company typically implements a global strategy when it wants to save money. A company can be more effective when it sells the same products to every market, because there is no extra time spent on differentiating the products per market, which means there are also no extra costs. Money is saved from buying in bulk and having a standard packaging. In return, the company can put more focus on the product and work towards changing and enhancing the product. The case states that the market share of Saralyn Mills has increased in each of the product categories in which it competes. By implementing a standardized strategy,
