The SWOT analysis helps to benchmark P&G's business and performance along with identifying its competitive stance in the FMCG industry.
One of the top brands in the FMCG industry is Procter & Gamble (P&G). P&G’s main strength is its wide range of product offerings which includes, health care - personal & oral, fabric care, home care, health, hygiene, and cleaning segments. P&G has more than 300 brands worldwide that are sold in more than 180 countries. Tide, Ariel, Pampers, Whisper, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Herbal Essences, Pantene, Ambi Pur, Oral-B, Vicks, Olay, and Old Spice are a few of the well-known Procter & Gamble products. These are all Star Products under the P&G umbrella. Despite intense competition from other consumer goods companies, Procter & Gamble is able to maintain its market position over the years. One of the weaknesses of P&G is the decline in the sale of Gillette razors. The shaving frequency has lowered consequently reducing the size of the developed blades and razors market affecting the company’s revenue from this segment.
P&G is one of the most trusted brands when it comes to health and hygiene products. Thus, the pandemic has created a great opportunity for the company due to increase in demand for hygienic products. In this situation, Procter & Gamble must adopt proper business strategies to make sure that the company takes advantage of the most important opportunities. Through such chances, the company can bolster its competitive advantage. To combat the threat of competition, Procter & Gamble must keep making improvements. The market share of the company declines as a result of competitors constantly seeking out new ways to increase their market share. Also, disruptions in supply chain during Covid-19 posed a great threat for all the companies in the FMCG sectors and therefore, P&G was not an exception. Limited delivery operators and labors, minimal working hours or even temporary closure of stores, global lockdown, supply disruptions, dependent on hundreds of foreign suppliers – 400 from China alone, etc. has created significant gap between P&G's supply and demand.

Detailed Pestle Analysis of Procter & Gamble (P&G)

Political

1. Changes in tax regulations: As per the statement released by the company: P&G tries to abide and follow all the norms laid by the state and the federal government in its course of business and operations. Also, the multinational company has to deal with the regulations of other countries while trading. P&G has formed a team P&G’s Global Government Relations and Public Policy [P&G GGRPP] to look into the norms while trading in the key international markets. Such activities do add to the running cost of the company. The country’s internal and external/foreign policies largely impact the scale and growth of any company. P&G being a multinational company headquartered in the US is bounded to abide by the US Federal norms and trade policies. The home country’s foreign policy largely affects the operation and growth of the company. If the country maintains good and healthy relations with other countries, it can open avenues for the company to trade with ease in the international market. As trade war and tensions tend to relax between USA and China, it has opened investment opportunities for P&G in the South Asian market. In March 2021, P&G announced to launch a new facility in Guangzhou while ramping up its old and other investments in the country. This opportunity will enable the company to grow, expand and reach new heights in the wide Chinese market.
