Detailed SWOT Analysis of Bumble
Strength
This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.
Weakness
1. Dependence on third party publishers: In large parts the company is dependent on third party publishers and platforms for distribution and marketing of, and access to their products. Bumble is dependent on the interoperability of its products with popular mobile operating systems, networks, technologies, products, and standards that are beyond their control, such as the Android and iOS operating systems. Further, some of the third-party publishers and distribution channels through which they market and distribute products have rolled out or may in the future roll out their own dating products, such as Facebook. In addition, certain publishers and channels have, from time to time, limited or prohibited advertisements for dating products for a variety of reasons, including as a result of poor behavior by other industry participants. There is no assurance that the company will not be limited or prohibited from using certain current or prospective marketing channels in the future.
