STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
OPPORTUNITIES
THREATS

13. STRENGTH ANALYSIS

• Focus on environment;
• Low production costs;
• Largest share in mobile
phones.
MICROMAX
• Provide many basic
functions at much
lower costs;
• Regional languages
support;

14. WEAKNESS ANALYSIS
SAMSUNG
• Patent infringement
• Main competitors are
also largest buyers
• Lack its own OS and
software
• Focus on too many
products
MICROMAX
• Limited market share
due to intense
competition and less
global presence.
• User interface for not
so tech-savvy
consumers compared
to Apple.

15. OPPORTUNITYANALYSIS
SAMSUNG
• Growing India’s
Smartphone market.
• Growing mobile advertising
industry.
• Growing demand for
quality application
processors.
• Growth of tablets market.
• Obtaining patents through
acquisitions.
MICROMX
• Low-end phones market
has become very
competitive.
• Cut-throat competition has
made Dual-SIM phones
being available.
• Can be used as simple
second phones as well as
cheaper smart phones.

16. THREATS ANALYSIS
SAMSUNG
• Saturated Smartphone
markets in developed
countries.
• Rapid technological
change.
• Declining margins on
hardware production.
• Breached patents.
• Price wars
MICROMAX
• Threat from low price
well known brands
• Other lower end phones
brands

17. • There is an increasing demand for more trendy and easy-to-use products. As
people in India are generally very price sensitive so they are always looking
for value for money products (i.e. higher the benefits and lower the cost so
that total value will be more).
• Price is the dominant factor affecting the consumer decision to buy mobile
phone. Secondly, the features incorporated in a mobile phone handset are also
the most important factor which is considered by the consumers while
purchasing the mobile phone. However, all features of mobile phones are not
equally important.
• The other factors equally correlated and have moderate relationships with the
decision to buy are brand name and durability of mobile phones. Both the
factors are highly associated with the quality of mobile phone devices.
• The least correlated factors are after sales service and social influences.
Providing better after sales service to customers also make them delighted.
Customer analysis:-

18. • Samsung is still the market leader in Indian mobile handset industry till the
3rd quarter with the market share of 16%. Micromax with the market share of
14% spotted 2nd position.
• Micromax surpassed Samsung to become the leading supplier in India's
booming smartphone market for the first time in the fourth quarter with the
market share of 22%. Samsung's market share fell by 2% to 20% and spotted
2nd position.
• Instead, Micromax is giving a tough competition to Samsung in the handset
industry but still they were not able to establish themselves as a global player
in the industry.
Since the company is going through the growth
stage, they can work on their new product features, can increase its
distribution channel, enters into new segments so that they can maintain
their growth stage in the upcoming future also.
• Samsung should focus on their Research & Development, so that the cost of
production can be lower down and sell at much cheaper price.
