Company has a long history and experience of managing the business, and management is aware of the details of running the business.
Weakness:
Company’s revenue largely contributed by the business of food colors, which is a business risk. Company should diversify its product portfolio and de-risk its business by generating other sources of revenue. Also, since company also exports its products to more than 45 countries, its business is exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.
Opportunities:
With rising disposable income in the urban and semi urban middle class consumers, there is a huge surge in demand for readymade food, easy to prepare cooking aides and many other products. Most of these semi-cooked foods use food colors to make the food tasty and pleasant. With rising consumer demand, there will be rise in demand for food colors, which will ultimately benefit the business of Dynemic Products.
Threats:
As mentioned earlier, the sector in which Dynemic Product operates, is highly regulated and has to comply to high standards of quality. Because of this, company has to go through immense research and development before launching a product. Also, there is always a long gestation period before regulators approve the product as safe for consumption.
