SWOT Analysis of Landers
SWOT Analysis of Landers
Strengths
1. The Philippines is a consumption-driven economy which means that anything sellable has a high
chance of it being consumed or bought in a short time.
2. The Filipinos have a strong preference for US products, especially food, beverages, and ingredients.
3. Due to the growing population of 105.9 million Filipinos and decreasing farmlands, the Philippines is
dependent on food imports.
4. There are no other competition aside from S&R, which means that they share a fair number of
consumers because their stores are established in different locations wherein competitions are local
supermarkets.
5. They have various stores aside from the supermarket itself to accommodate the needs of the
consumers such as a barber shop and coffee shop.
6. They own a gas station which is located inside their vicinity, this allows the consumers to gas up with
discounts if they present their Landers membership card.
7. They have a cheaper membership fee compared to S&R which has a PHP100.00-200.00 difference.
Weaknesses
1.Consumers are obliged to own a membership card to be able to shop in Landers Superstore. Also, the
membership card must be renewed yearly but with a renewal fee cheaper than the application fee.
3. The prices of their products are more expensive than the prices of its competitor which affects the
consumers perspective of it being a luxury supermarket than it being a necessity supermarket.
4. Due to their vast product selection and the services they offer, they need a large space for them to
properly arrange and manage the supermarket. This means that they need a large land for them to build
a new supermarket which is costly to buy in Metro Manila, as well as the measurement of land they
need to purchase may be deemed impossible to acquire.
1. Online resellers such as “Pasabuy” is emerging. This allow many people to buy goods from Landers
without needing to go to the store themselves without acquiring a membership fee.
2. A growing middle-class means that more income can be spent on high-value products such as
imported goods.
3. Filipinos are more inclined to online buying which means that setting up an online application to buy
from their store can pave way for more consumers.
4. People are starting to become more aware of superstores containing imported goods which
guarantee new consumers.
Threats
1. S&R as their only competition has a huge market or coverage due to their various branches, which is
far greater than Landers.
2. Competition from a local supermarket that would emerge such as the MerryMart grocery.
4. Higher fees these coming years for imported products due to the pandemic.
