Communications
11. Very high market share
in ice cream
Amul has the top
market share in ice
cream segment which
further helps it push
other products into the
market.
Amul’s Strengths
Excellent brand equity
Amul is a beloved brand
over the years and the
contribution of amul
girl and her iconic
outdoor ads.

12. Strong distribution
network
Amul is strong in urban
as well as rural
distribution. You will
find Amul present even
in small towns and
villages.
Amul’s Strengths
Excellent quality
management
Even though Amul has
such a wide and large
distribution network,
hardly any quality
complaints come for
Amul.

13. Amul’s Strengths
Good product portfolio
Amul had a deep
product portfolio
when compared to
any FMCG company. It
has many different
variety of milk like
cheese, butter, milk,
buttermilk, lassi and
many others.
Strong supply chain
Vendors love Amul
and Amul is known for
the white revolution in
India.
Rural presence
Strong rural presence
of Amul is its plus
point. It is mentioned
here separately
because this rural
presence gives Amul a
strong competitive
advantage.

14. Cost of operations
Amul’s operation is huge and
so is the cost. Plus the sector
is such that maintaining
margins becomes difficult
day by day. Thus, to
face international players,
Amul needs to maintain the
operations in the same
manner it is carrying out
today.
Amul’s Weakness
Chocolates
Amul’s expansion to
chocolate has failed
and hardly any product
of Amul chocolates is
selling in the market.

only a product, but also a
movement. It is in one
way, the representation

of farmers. It has given
farmers the courage to
dream. To hope. To live.
