Industry Analysis Porter’s Five Forces Model
Threat of New Entrants • Barriers to entry
Suggestions for addressing key forces • Intensity of Rivalry • Continue producing quality products, anticipating and responding to changes in consumer demands, and educating product benefits.
Economic and social factors have the greatest affect on Revlon. • Intensity of rivalry is the greatest force for Revlon. • It is important for companies in the personal products industry to stay on top of changing consumer preferences and needs in order to stand out among the competition. • Although the cosmetics and personal products industries have fierce competition, by continuing to spend more time on research and development to create differentiated and quality products, Revlon can increase their position in the personal products industry.
Key Competitors "Bringing the Best to Everyone We Touch and Being the Best in Everything We Do."
“We will provide branded products and services of superior quality and value that improve the lives of the world’s consumers, now and for generations to come.” “To help men and women around the world aspire to beauty and express their individual personalities to the full.”
Cosmetic industry BCG Matrix High Market Growth Rate Low High Low Relative Market Share Position
Revlon has a vast amount of competition in the personal products industry. • Being a lot smaller than the competition has caused them to fall behind in revenues and the amount of money they are able to spend on research and development. • By continuing to develop unique products and investing more money in R&D, Revlon can work their way to becoming as big as the competition.
internal and Swot analysis Generic and Grand Strategies
Performance • Sales have fluctuated from 2005 on. • The decline in consolidated net sales was driven by lower net sales of Revlon and Almay color cosmetics and certain beauty care products • Profits have also fluctuated in past years due to: • unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations • higher pension expenses within cost of goods • higher returns and allowances
Change in Sales by Region • U.S. and Europe have observed a steady decrease in sales over the past few years while Asia Pacific and Latin America have experienced a steady increase in sales. • While sales have increased in Asia Pacific and Latin America, they are not increasing at the rate in which they should, based on the growth rate of cosmetics in those regions.
