This document presents a portfolio analysis of Nestle products using the BCG matrix. It introduces the BCG matrix, its elements, advantages and limitations. It then analyzes Nestle's mineral water, milk pack, noodles and juices products, categorizing them in the BCG matrix based on their relative market share and growth. Mineral water is a star, milk pack is a cash cow, noodles are a question mark, and juices are a dog. The conclusion recommends focusing investment on stars, maintaining cash cows, carefully examining question marks, and potentially divesting dogs.

Conclusion
• BCG Matrix is also known as growth share matrix (aka Product Portfolio Matrix)
• It is a chart that was created by Bruce D. Henderson for the Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to help
corporations to analyse their business units
• It help corporations to analyse their business units, that is, their product lines
• This helps the company allocate resources and is used as an analytical tool in brand marketing, product
management, strategic management, and portfolio analysis
• The BCG-Matrix is helpful for managers to evaluate balance in the companies' current portfolio in the
form of Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks and Dogs.
• BCG Matrix is constructed by taking Growth on one axis and relative market share of the portfolio on
another axis.

Conclusion
Advantages:
• BCG-Matrix is applicable to large companies that seek volume and experience effects
• The model is simple and easy to understand
• It provides a base for management to decide and prepare for future actions.
• If a company is able to use the experience curve to its advantage, it should be able to manufacture and sell
new products at a price that is low enough to get early market share leadership. Once it becomes a star, it is
destined to be profitable.
Limitations:
• It neglects the effects of synergies between business units.
• High market share is not the only success factor.
• Market growth is not the only indicator for attractiveness of a market.
• Sometimes Dogs can earn even more cash as Cash Cows.
• The model uses only two dimensions – market share and growth rate. This may tempt management to
emphasize a particular product, or to divest prematurely.

Conclusion
From the BCG Matrix we noticed that,
Nestle Mineral water(Stars) is having High Market Growth and High Market share
Nestle Milk Pack(Cash Cows) is having Low Market Growth and High Market share
Nestle Noodles(Question Marks) is having High Market Growth and Low Market Share
Nestle Chocolates/Juices(Dogs) is having Low Market Growth and Low Market Share.
 Nestle Mineral Water requires high funding to fight competition and maintain growth rate. And
hope is that they become next cash cows
 Nestle Milk Pack generates cash in excess of the amount of cash needed to maintain the business
 Nestle Noodles must be analysed carefully in order to determine whether they are worth the
investment required to grow market share
 Nestle Juices division is typically “break even”, generating barely enough cash to maintain the
business’s market share. They are thought to be sold off.
