Detailed SWOT Analysis of Hennes & Mauritz (H&M)

 

Strength

This section is available only in the 'Complete Report' on purchase.

Weakness

1. Easy to replicate designs: H&M can be in competition with other brands as they can easily replicate designs and styles and market them at still lower prices. It is not difficult to create replicas in the fashion industry and thus, it becomes utmost important for the company to keep a close eye on their competitors. They have to be wary of replicas and fake labels that can eat their market very easily.

2. Massive increase in unsold inventory: With the fast changing world of fashion retailing, customers are increasingly moving online and physical stores need to keep inventories in check. H&M has been facing the major problem on increasing unsold inventory over the last two years with the company reporting a massive $4.3 billion of unsold stock as of end FY17. This was an increase of 7% over FY16. Analysts and industry experts blame H&M’s poor inventory management and bland product offerings for the same.

3. Slow response to changing consumer trends: With the change in styles and designs, the products need to continuously move to bring in fresh stock. This could cause tremendous pressure and operations along with need a very efficient supply chain. With a slower supply chain, H&M has not been quick to respond to rapid shifts in fashion and consumer tastes resulting in more markdowns and promotions and low-inspiration collections. H&M’s heavy reliance on its Asian suppliers has resulted in it having its supply chain lead-time 100% longer than of its rival Inditex. While the Asian supplier model has resulted in cost advantage, it has led to lower trend sensibility and higher lead times.H&M needs to adjust as per the market requirements before formulating its strategy ahead.
