Section B- Competitive Situation Analysis

Analysis of Competition using Porter’s 5 Forces Model
Competitive Rivalry: The competitive rivalry in the kitchen appliance industry is quite intense because there are many high quality appliances, such as food processors, which are being produced on the market on a continuous basis. Some of the brands that Breville has to compete with include KitchenAid, Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, Ninja and Proctor Silex. Therefore, it is important that that Breville always has a competitive advantage over its competitors.
Threat from New Entrants: The threat of possible new entrants in the market is major concern for Breville Group Ltd when marketing its food processor because recently two brands that have recently entered the market with high quality food processors. These brands are Ninja and the Magic Bullet. The Ninja brand in particular has been quite successful producing the Ninja mega kitchen system the design of which has caused it to gain rave reviews from customers. The top class food processor has undoubtedly cut into Breville’s market share.
Threat from New Buyers: The threat of buyers is an important threat for the Breville Group Ltd to consider when marketing its food processor. This is because the type of product that the food processor is allows it to be distributed through a variety of retailers—both online and offline. The major large retailers often sell small appliances, such as food appliances. Their strong buying power allows these major large retailers to have power over appliance manufacturers, such as Breville Group. These major large retailers include Walmart, Target, and Sears. However, the e-tailers (which are online retailers) have stronger buying power than even the offline retailers. For instance, in the case of Amazon.com, this company can source many products from multiple suppliers. Economists refer to this market structure as a monopsony. These conditions permit a very strong buyer, such as Amazon.com, to set the price. Therefore, Amazon.com can price products that could potentially reduce Breville’s profit margins on appliances, such as food processors.
Threat from Substitutes: The threat of substitutes is another significant concern for the Breville Group Ltd. This is the case because foods which have been already been processed by a manufacturer will allow the customer not see the need of buying a food processor to prepare or process his food. This factor could also potentially cut into the profit margins of Breville’s food processors.
