SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS No. 1 in decorative segment & no. 2 in industrial segment Wide range of products with 8500 colors Wide distribution network i.e. 19000 dealers Highest manufacturing capacity  strong brand image

WEAKNESSES Low bargaining power with the suppliers:

THREATS OPPORTUNITIES High growth in both decorative & industrial segment Potential in overseas markets

Growing industry & low capital intensive nature will attract more competition

FUTURE STRATEGY • To generate product awareness • Give an incentive to influencer to push/suggest product •To initiate trial for first time user •To explore alliances with worldwide paint majors to tap vast potential of the segment • Leverage the recent acquisition to be a strong player in the industrial coatings business • To expand and become the leading player in international emerging . markets • Mass production and economies of scale should be used to reach international price trend •Care should be taken while purchase of raw material as price trend in oil industry follows a cyclic order.

Future of the Company  Asian Paints is planning to increase the capacity by setting up a plant at Rohtak, Haryana.  No other company is planning to increase its capacity in the near future, this will give Asian Paints

a competitive advantage in terms of pricing.  GDP growth slowdown in the growth rate of two important activities i.e. repaint activity and

construction activity will have direct impact on the volume of APL, thus effecting its profitability and margins.  Rural markets have considerable potential. Companies that can establish a dealer network in these

markets are likely to get the edge in positing above par growth rates over the next few years.  As setting up distribution infrastructure is expensive, it would mean that the competition is limited

to the top players.
