SWOT Analysis

1. STRENGTH:- Business to Business• It nurture customer relationship to create and maintain our status as

preferred supplierMarketing

• It is most exciting operation of its kind in the worldSupply chain

• it takes real strength of intellect and character to take on the planning, making or distribution of our products. • World class people deliver world class logistic

Brand Equity

IInformation Management and technology• this is often applying breakthrough science on a grand scale, with speed

and with tangible results enough complexity and convention, inspiring everyone to improve the way we do business.

Research and Development• its products don’t make empty promises but deliver it.

2 . WEAKNESS :-• No environment friendly as contain sodium and potassium salts of fatty

acids which are less biodegradable than soap. As compared to NIRMA it is less biodegradable.

• Causes biomagnifications of water bodies which then degenerates and depletes the aquatic resources as well as degrades the amount of oxygen which results into loss of aquatic bodies as well as plants .

• Price is high due t still not reached to mass of customers. But new marketing and sales innovations have resulted into greater penetration in to rural market.

• Product awareness is still not high among Rural masses. The recognition is still low.

OPPROTUNITIES :-• As its new product SUR AUTOMATIC is based on proprietary technology after

extensive research. It reduces the time taken for rinsing, reduces the amount of water uses by 40%

• The laundry consumes about 20% of household water so this technology will make a great impact.

• SURF is coming up with a scholarship scheme like DISHA abhiyan which provides educational benefits to lower strata of the society. This has really helped surf to build corporate social image. It creates brand awareness.

• The detergent market is growing by 9.2% every year so SURF has great chances to increase in market shares.

• The market penetration of NIRMA is 77% AND surf is 56% but with repositioning and constant innovation, SURF is emerging as a market leader.

4 . THREATS :-• Facing stiff competition with P&G’S ARIEL & TIDE, as ARIEL is coming up with

constant innovative technique.• In urban India consumers are now being exposed to and trying several categories

such as mobile phones, leisure, durables etc. so downgrading their FMCG products purchases.

• Rural demands have been dampened by three unusually poor monsoon in the last 3 years so marketing is declining.
