Signha Beer: Boon Rawd Brewery. Thai Beer Industry with Five-forces and SWOT Analysis, TOWS Matrix, Perceptual Map, Positioning.
�PAGE � �PAGE �6�

1. PROBLEM/KEY ISSUE

_How can Boon Rawd Brewery maintain its competitiveness in Thailand's alcoholic beverages market as the legal enforcement of total ban regulations on alcoholic drink advertisements become effective?_

PORTER'S FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS OF BEER INDUSTRY IN THAILAND (AS CONSOLIDATED INDUSTRY)

THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS - LOW

Entry barriers (i.e. huge capital investments in breweries) are high resulting in low threat of new entrants.

THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS - HIGH

Other types of alcoholic beverages such as wine, spirit and liquor represent the substitutes of beer, though not perfectly substitutable.

THREAT OF BUYERS' GROWING BARGAINING POWER - LOW

Wholesalers and agents are considered as buyers for Boon Rawd Brewery in which they have to follow the predetermined prices.

THREAT OF SUPPLIERS' GROWING BARGAINING POWER - LOW

Suppliers who mainly provide key ingredients for beer (i.e. hops and bottles) tend to be not powerful since they are neither concentrated nor organized and the costs of switching suppliers are not high.

THREAT OF INTENSE SEGMENT RIVALRY - HIGH

Beer market in Thailand contains some strong and aggressive incumbents such as Boon Rawd Brewery, Thai Beverage and Thai Asia Pacific Brewery.



BOON RAWD BREWERY CO., LTD. TOWS MATRIX

    Coopers Brewery

    Threat of new entrants: The Trade Practice Act of 1974 lead to national consolidation and a focus on economy of scale. This created an advantage for high volume firms already competing in the industry, because large capital requirements cause a cost disadvantage for new entrants. This can be seen in the steady decline in the number of breweries in Australia, implicating that the capital requirements necessary to compete against the biggest firms on a national level are high. In the brewing industry there is also a focus on differentiating beer on branding, image, origin and taste to create brand loyalty among customers. This focus increases the product differentiation, and in connection with the economy of scale and capital requirements, creates high entry barriers to the industry. There could also be a low access to the distribution channels in the market, because of long-term relationships between distribution channels and existing companies. Overall, high entry barriers characterize the Australian brewing industry.…

    Beer Wars

    • 4 Pages

    Because of the enormous status and power of the big three, the ability to advertise and market their wares is significantly easier than for most other breweries. From being able to hire top dollar marketing experts to running multimillion dollar commercials during the Super Bowl, they dominate the beer advertising market. With their lack of ability to buy “shelf space”, smaller companies are often pushed out of the way and driven to less marketable places in the aisles of stores nationwide. Rhonda Kallman, owner of The New Century Brewing company, known for its craft beer “Moonshot”, talked about how she often would put up a poster advertising her beer one day only to find it replaced by a competitor’s poster the next day. This is a glimpse at the competitiveness that small breweries face day to day. Today, The New Century Brewing company is currently shut down due to the FDA’s banning of caffeinated beers; Moonshot fell victim to this regulatory axe. This is what happens when the bread and butter of your company can no longer be produced. The fall of Kallman’s company, however, is just another tragic story in the long history of beer manufactures.…
