MAC purchases raw materials on a global basis through its Global Supplier Relations
department. This concentrated effort in supplier rationalization helps to review the
supplier base with the objective of reducing costs, increasing innovation and speed to
market, and improving quality. However, MAC sourcing model could result in increased
dependency on suppliers.
Mac cosmetics uses exclusive retail outlet place to sell their product rather than
choosing another distribution channel

MAC products are priced high and cater to the premium market. However, affluent buyers
are less price-sensitive and unlikely to switch to lower-priced product
The MAC has a high bargaining power of customers. This is due to the increase
competition and availability of cosmetic products from a variety of manufacturers. Since
these products have high substitutes, then it is possible for consumers to force
manufacturers to reduce their product prices through purchasing those of their
competitors. This is a challenge which manufacturers of cosmetic products face across the
world.
BUYERS Are - Professional Makeup Artists including models and Actors, Retail consumers -
Younger women's

Skin care and beauty products have a large number of substitutes. However, it is hard to
replace a product that is branded with a high reputation unless there is a new technology
that promises permanent skin improvement. MAC develops essential ingredients in its own
research and development departments. This is a major competitive advantage.
Cosmetics is typically bought according to skin types and income levels. It’s difficult for a
new company to enter the skin and beauty care business unless the brand features new
technology.
Hence, high-end companies such as MAC rely heavily on repeat customers and mainly
compete on product quality, brand recognition, and product differentiation

The cosmetic industry has a low threat of new entrants. This is due to several factors. The
first is the huge costs of entry. Developing unique cosmetic products requires a lot of
resources both in terms of research and development and the actual manufacturing process.
Few middle and small scale firms have access to the funds and expertise required to perform
this effectively. Another factor which discourages entry into this industry is the huge
competition present in the industry. In addition to the huge competitors such as - Avon,
Revlon, Clinique, Estee Lauder, LR, and Unilever, who have a large market share, there are
many other small scale competitors who also have a small market share and who reduce the
overall profitability of firms in the industry.
