Hershey’s and Cadburys are moving towards the premium chocolate market through the acquisition or upmarket launches (Zietsma, 2007). The profit potential present in this sector supported by its 20% annual growth rate make it very attractive for large organizations to come forward and avail this opportunity. There is a low threat of new entrants prevailing in this chocolate industry because of the high capital requirements and expected retaliation by current manufacturers. Current players in the industry also possess some barriers to entry for new entrants by maintaining economies of scales with their large production capacity and keeping their product differentiation with their specialized and novelty chocolate products. Even though there are low switching costs and easy access to distribution channels, but still the brand loyalty of the customers including the Rogers’ Chocolate itself make it harder for new firms to come into the competition.
Cadbury is a British multinational confectionery company wholly owned by Mondelez International since 2010. It is the second-largest confectionery brand in the world after Wrigley's. Cadbury is internationally headquartered in Uxbridge, West London, and operates in more than 50 countries worldwide. It is famous for its Dairy Milk chocolate, the Creme Egg and Roses selection box, and many other confectionery products. Cadbury was established in Birmingham, England in 1824, by John Cadbury who sold tea, coffee and drinking chocolate. Cadbury developed the business with his brother Benjamin, followed by his sons Richard and George. George developed the Bournville estate, a model village designed to give the company's workers improved living conditions. Dairy Milk chocolate, introduced in 1905, used a higher proportion of milk within the recipe compared with rival products. By 1914, the chocolate was the company's best-selling product. Cadbury, alongside Rowntree's and Fry, were the big three British confectionery manufacturers throughout much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

2. Kraft’s marketing strategy will benefit significantly from buying Cadbury in two different ways. Firstly, when we look at the brand portfolio of Kraft, which is the world’s second biggest food company. It is clear that there are plenty of old-timer cash cows, such as cheese, Nabisco and Suchard, but there are only very few rising stars. According to the Boston Matrix, cash cow means a product with a high share of a slow growth market, which can generate a stable
Rogers’ Chocolates will need to gain new customers if they want to grow the company. To gain new customers, Rogers’ must take a risk a re-brand themselves with a new packaging design to create a new image. Implementing a new brand image will gather a new crowd of consumers that Rogers’ did not reach with its current image. To be able to do so, Rogers’ will need some financial help in order to invest money into the new packaging design and image that they want to create. They will also need new store displays and marketing tools to be able to push the image to customers. By creating this new image, they run the risk of losing their current customers. The new image that Rogers’ creates will grab the attention of a new market that will help gain market share that they currently do not have to aid in the growth of the company.
Cadbury uses market penetration strategies to keep people aware of their brand. They do this all in their current market. They do this by selling more to existing customers, like selling their products in multi-packs. This means that the customers can buy their products in larger quantities and it will encourage them to do so as they can have more of the product instead of buying it individually. They also use product development strategies such as selling new products in an existing market.
Eventually, the globalization of cocoa beans brought an idea to the minds of two young men in the 1800s. According to an article “The Creation of a Company Culture: Cadburys” by Charles Dellheim, the start of Cadbury wasn’t even chocolate. Instead, John Cadbury, the founder of the company, traded tea and coffee in Birmingham which later grew to become a factory process. However, when his sons George and Richard Cadbury took over, the company was already dwindling and on the verge of collapse when they ingeniously changed the product from tea and coffee to cocoa and chocolate. They also changed the process of cocoa making and utilized the Dutch process to make the chocolate taste better and it resulted in a much higher quality chocolate (Dellheim, 17). Even from the very start, the Cadbury company might not have succeeded without globalization, as it was the Dutch process of chocolate-making that allowed the British firm to really take off in the mid-19th century, with its signature Dairy Milk bar released in 1905. The family-run business gradually expanded over the years throughout England and then built its first overseas factory in Australia in 1919. This was during the modern period when other brand names such as Coca-Cola, Remington, and Campbell started making themselves known on the global market
