Strength Financial growth is phenomenal. More diversified than its competition. Wide array of shoe- wear. Brand stands for quality, latest technology and prestige. Increase in demand is the expected market trend Global brand Pumas top management is highly marketing oriented, and most of the key personnel come from marketing background. This is strength in this business because industry is market driven instead of product driven.

SWOT Analysis Contd

Weakness They have diversified range of spot products but income of the business heavily depends upon its share of footwear market. Retail sector is very price sensitive Profit margins tend to squeezed as retailer try to pass some of the low price competition pressure onto Puma. Young consumers only

SWOT Analysis Contd

Opportunity Open more stores !!! Product development. Strong global recognition. Expand in markets which has more disposable income. Participate in global marketing events like world cup. Olympics, etc. Being more focused on youth, Puma is certainly a fashion brand.

SWOT Analysis Contd

Threats Harsh competition Weaking markets may be serious threat. Puma exposed to international trade. Fluctuation in currency affects costs and profits margin of the company. Retail sector is becoming very competitive and consumers are highly price sensitive. So the consumer can compare the prices for exactly same item for the best deal and this is potential external threat to Puma
