PESTLE Analysis
Political & legal forces
Taxation Law If government imposes heavy taxes on the industry then it badly effects the industry growth. The taxes impose is from government side and it varies from industry to industry. Juices have no tax except sales tax. Labour Law Labor is being privileged here having all the laws. Iceland also follow these laws like government announce minimum salaries of an employ Rs 6000. Environment protection Law They do concern for environment and contribute more and more for the betterment of environment. Foreign trade regulation Foreign trade regulation does not affect the overall policy and the working of the Iceland because they operate locally not internationally Political Instability The government stability also plays a great role for any industry. In Pakistan Government face lot of difficulty from the side of terrorism and also its activity that badly effect environment of the country which is totally very upset. Recently in Punjab instability of Government creates lot of problem for the industry like shortage of electricity that badly affects the industry operational process. Iceland has not much affect this condition but in future it may be face some difficulty for operating.
Economic forces
Inflation Rate Now in Pakistan inflation rate is almost 22.3%. Economic growth Rate Economy growth rate accelerate is 7+
Social factor
Health Conciousness Today people are more health conscious so Iceland identifying this need of the people they are also producing health conscious fresh juices with more vitamins. Demographic Trend In Pakistan the population growth rate is 1.828% in 2008 and total population is 167,762,040 (July 2008 est) Age structure 0-14 years: 15-64 years: 65 years and over 40% (male 33,293,428; female 31,434,314) 56.9% (male 48,214,298; female 46,062,933) 4.1% (male 3,256,065; female 3,542,522)

Environmental concerns
About the environmental concerns, Iceland also play it role in this field. Work Life Quality Quality of work life is very safer & environment friendly. Lifestyle changes They consider quality life changes and take advantages of accordingly so that customer can convinced as well as it plays a vital role to attain & retain the customer. Consumer adopts the trend of changing environment because of modern facility as well as globalization they are aware about each and every thing happening all around them.
Technological forces
New products Iceland is also focusing concentric and conglomerate diversification because in present era it is not possible for any organization to exist in market for long run by providing just one product. So Iceland is diversifying according to changing demand of customers and trends.
9
Product innovation Product innovation is becoming more necessary for the organization because of globalization people are becoming aware about the changes being taken place around them so in order tactical the situation Iceland is focusing on product innovation by introducing new flavor of juices with the passage of time. Productivity Improvement through automation Automation doesnt matter a lot but to some extent it contributes towards productivity and improvement. Iceland also increases productivity through automation. Total spending on R&D Iceland also give different flavor to their customer for this purpose it all ways doing R&D and take innovation in their fresh juices & Shakes according to customer need.
SWOT Analysis
Strength
Quality Iceland produces good quality products. It cannot compromise on quality. Flavors Iceland provides big range of juices flavor and at that time on any one competitor provide that range of flavor in fresh juices. Iceland provide 30 different flavors to it customer. Location
10
Iceland has also place advantage because in Lahore they have their branches in all the major areas
Well-developed strategy Iceland has recognizes need well and establish a good strategy that, there is a right time and right place for their product; therefore, their strategy makes room for adjustments
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Changing Social Trend Consumers drink fresh juices on a regular basis as they increasingly concentration adopts Western lifestyles, especially the younger generation which is hugely influenced by the Western media. Younger consumers tend to follow Western eating and drinking habits. There was an increase in demand for functional drinks over the review period Health conscious Increasing health and hygiene awareness among Pakistanis has greatly increased sales of fruit/vegetable juice. Both the government and the media have started health awareness campaigns to make Pakistanis realizes that consumption of fruit/ juices is as essential as eating food. Fruit/ juices are doing very well in both urban and rural areas Market growth
11
Juices market expands very fast .A new research proves that in future (2012) every person use 85.5 liters juices per years. Limited options in real fruits juices Limited options are in locally produced real fresh fruit juices.
Threats
Increase in competition There is large competition in fresh juices market in Lahore. Low price There are many local fresh juices competitor in Lahore that provide juices at low price, so that customer whose are price conscious they attract in the competitor side. Labor costs Increase labor cost like Pakistan govt. fix minimum employ wages 6000 RS Inflation rate Increase inflation rate very fast .In 2008 expected inflation rate 23.3%.
12
industry profits. The focus at this stage is at the industry level because industry dynamics and profits of necessity dictate profits of other firms that enter the industry. Also, in carrying out a five forces analysis we want to be able to answer this question: If the competitive forces in the industry are strong, is there some strategy that firms might employ to defend it, or influence the forces in their own favors?
13
Product Differentiation Capital Requirements Switching Costs Access to Distribution Channels Cost Disadvantages Independent of Scale Government Policy If all these things present in the market then no Entrepreneur want to enter in that market because they know there is no any opportunity for it.
Buyer Power
14
Bargaining power of customer is one of the important forces in the porter five forces. In the field of juices customer has a low bargaining power because they purchase a single unit and have not in that situation that they can negotiate with seller on price matter. So Iceland customer has low bargaining power. Here you ask yourself how easy it is for buyers to drive prices down. Again, this is driven by the number of buyers, the importance of each individual buyer to your business, the cost to them of switching from your products and services to those of someone else, and so on. If you deal with few, powerful buyers, they are often able to dictate terms to you. If there are good competitor then the buyer power also increase because they see both competitor and it switching cost is low. But in the case of Iceland buyer power are not strong because in Lahore no major competitor operates.
Threats of substitutes
Substitute products refer to products in other industries. To the economist, a threat of substitutes exists when a product demand is affected by the price change of a substitute product. A products price elasticity is effected by substitute product as more substitute become available, demand becomes more elastic since customer have more alternative . A close substitute products constrains the ability of firms in an industry to raise prices. While the treat of substitutes typically impact an industry through price competition. If substitution is easy and substitution is viable, then this weakens your power. The substitute product has a strong affect if the following things are occurred Sales of substitutes are growing rapidly Producers of substitutes plan to add new capacity Profits of producers of substitutes are up In juices market Iceland juices has great threat for substitute like Freshers & Jaidi etc.
15
Competitive Rivalry
The big factor determining the strength of rivalry is how actively and aggressively are rivals employing the various weapons of competition in jockeying for a stronger market position and seeking bigger sales. In the market rival create a great threat. Many local juices operate in the market like Freshers & Jaidi (Defence)
Recommendation
Focus on the Customer Monitor the Competition Own the Brand. Find & Direct Outside Vendors. Create New Ideas. Communicate Internally. Manage a Budget. Set the Strategy, Plan the Attack, and Execute
