25. SWOT Analysis
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats

26. Strengths
Shan food has a very strong heritage and legacy behind it
which has given it a strong goodwill in households.
Shan foods enjoys an approximately 50% market share in
the recipes mixes category.
Shan foods is a leading exporter of food items from
Pakistan providing it an opportunity to tap the large global
market which helps it to expand at a rapid pace.
Shan has a wide range of products and SKU’s available
consolidating its presence in various niches and keeping its
customers loyal to the brand.

27. Weaknesses
Shan is not present in Jams and marmalades,
Ketchups categories like National foods thereby
loosing an opportunity market. Many loyal
Shan customers purchase National products in
these categories which is causing loss of
potential sales.
Shan has a low market share outside Karachi
in the Punjab market where National enjoys
market leadership. This is due to weak
distribution of Shan products in Punjab market
which is causing loss of potential sales.

28. Opportunities
Shan can vertically integrate to produce its
own raw materials which will not only reduce
costs but will also provide it more control over
the quality of input.
Shan currently has a very low advertising
spend in the FMCG industry. It can deploy
brand activations and other innovative
campaigns to switch customers from the loose/
unbranded segment to Shan products.
Shan can also horizontally expand its scope
like national foods and enter the other related
food categories where it can tap its loyal
customers with minimal extra efforts.

29. Threats
The biggest threat to Shan is the high inflation
in Pakistan coupled by a global recession which
is putting pressure on the profits and sales.
The prevalence of counterfeit products is also
threat to Shan causing loss in goodwill and
potential sales.
The emergence of newer brand with deep
pockets can also damage Shan’s market share
due to heavy advertisement while keeping the
product quality close to that of Shan.
