Competitive Analysis of Yum! Brands

SWOT
PESTLE

The SWOT / TOWS analysis of Yum! Brands gives insights about the key factors like the strength, weakness, opportunity and threat of the company. The internal analysis of Yum Brands clearly states that the major strength of YUM Company is its subsidiaries, the 3 big brands under yum namely, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco bell which has built a strong global presence for the parent company. The kind of food, Yum Brandsoffers under its subsidiary brands is unbeatable in taste and pricing has helped in building a strong consumer base. The yum china case study analysis, shows that due to intense demand and popularity of yum brands food in Chinese market, Yum! decided to develop a separate entity which operates as Yum China Holdings Inc, as a licensee of Yum! Brands in Mainland China from Nov 2016.

A strong management team, unique and exceptional food style, unbeatable recipes, strong financial positioning, multi branding along with global presence are some of the niche strengths of Yum! Brands. These also lend Yum a competitive advantage over its competitors. Some of Yum! brands key success factors are quick service, huge array of diversified food products and brand loyalty. One of the weakness of the company, especially under KFC brand is quality issue and inconsistent taste in different outlets, majorly because the supply chain is not meeting the increasing demands of all outlets.

More franchises in emerging markets, with some new dishes to hit the taste buds of consumers, palpably with proper research and development presents a great opportunity for yum brands. Intense competition from McDonalds to KFC and Dominos to pizza hut, is a major threat to Yum!'s cash cows.

Detailed SWOT Analysis of Yum! Brands

 

Strength

1. Focus on emerging markets: Yum! Brands, backed by its KFC and Pizza Hut brands, focus on emerging markets such as China, India is a major competitive edge for the company. US fast-food market is almost saturated with low growth rate of ~2.5% and hence, capitalizing on the growth potential of these untapped markets has been a boon for the company. Yum! Brands even exploited the first-mover advantage in China. 60% of KFC’s volumes and profits and 33% of Pizza Hut’s volumes and profits accrue from the emerging markets , which is testimony to the substantial growth the company has achieved in these markets.

2. Robust Supply Chain operations: Yum! Brands has establisheda strong and strategic supply chain which is rare, sustainable and inimitable core competency. Yum! Brands partners with Restaurant Supply Chain Solutions to provide supply chain services and also deploys proprietary purchasing processes to ensure that minimum quality standards are met at the lowest prices. The company also emphasises that they have strict controls on suppliers via the Supplier Code of Conduct and diverse suppliers to reduce dependencies and leverage multiple perspectives.

3. Localisation and strong decentralised management: The aggressive expansion strategy of the company has been possible due to its internal focus on ‘localisation’ and building a ‘strong decentralized management’. The local management has a better knowledge of the market conditions and thus gives Yum!the freedom to effectively tailor its menu according to the customers’ preferences. It also gives this huge company agility, flexibility and time-responsiveness. It gives the firm a competitive advantage hard to replicate for Yum!has managed to decentralize yet ensure that it provides the highest quality products.

4. Brand Equity and Umbrella Brand: Yum! Brands is a huge company with three of the most popular fast-food chains (Pizza Hut, KFC, Taco) under its umbrella. It has a tremendously high market cap of USD 26 billion. Such massive dominance and presence coupled with the popularity the brands enjoy, it becomes incredibly difficult for any smaller player to compete with the company. This competitive edge provides scalability and expansionary advantage to the company.
