Detailed SWOT Analysis of Hostess Brands

Strength

1. Leading Iconic Brands with great customer recognition: Hostess Brands is one pf the largest packaged food companies in the United States. They mainly sell sweet baked goods. Products are primarily sold in the United States, Canada, and Europe. The brand was first popularized in 1919 with the launch of the Hostess CupCake. In 1930, they launched their most popular product, TwinkiesTM. Ever since then they have maintained their strong market position with point-of-sale increasing by over 6% from 2017 to 2020. Hostess Brands has also been growing at a faster pace than the SBG (sweet baked goods) segment. They have a high repeat rate for customers which shows that customers are satisfied with their products. Moreover in 2020, there was a 28.8% growth in new households buying Hostess Brands products with a lot of young customers ( under 35 years old). Their limited time products (Halloween, Back-to-school) also helps in keeping products relevant and engaging for consumers.

Opportunity

1. Advancing further with breakfast sub-category’s success : In 2020, Hostess Brands expanded their new breakfast segment and it was an instant success. They recorded a growth of 9.6% with the overall breakfast industry growing by $3.6 billion. This makes breakfast, the fastest growing category for Hostess Brands. Utilising this consumer demand by innovation and launch of newer products will help them retain existing customers and also acquire new ones. Hostess also launched, Breakfast-on-the-go options which are pre-packaged products in single serve packs. These are great alternatives for busy people who would otherwise skip breakfast altogether. Launching new products and altering package sizes to fit consumer needs can help Hostess expand their business in this segment even further.
