Following are some of the top competitors of Ariel:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Surf Excel</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Henkel</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nirma</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that we know about the company let us start with the SWOT Analysis of Ariel.</span></p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWOT Analysis of Ariel</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWOT Analysis helps Ariel to grow in the market by helping it by showing an overview of the company. It can analyze the company overview and find out what changes needs to be made. Strengths and weaknesses are the internal factors of Ariel and Opportunities and Threats are the External factors of Ariel.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let us start with its SWOT Analysis by first looking at the Strengths of Ariel.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengths of Ariel</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengths are the thing, work, or skill that one is an expert on and distinguish them from others. Following are some of the Strengths of Ariel:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Brand Quality and Trust –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ariel has an absolutely good brand quality and trust as it has been around for decades and also the constant positive reviews and references from customers as well as other manufacturers. Brand Quality and Trust are not achieved in a few years, there is a consistent amount of effort and channeling of feedbacks to outcomes that have to take place, which ariel has proved to have been able to achieve and still pursue.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Market Share – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of India Ariel has the second largest market share but is highly being challenged by its competitor’s Surf Excel, Tide, Nirma. Having such a big market share ads to the economies of scale, reputation/ goodwill, innovation, etc.&nbsp; It also gives the chance of having a monopoly in the designated market segment.&nbsp;</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Machine Wash Ease and Referrals –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Machine wash ease means that ariel is known for the ease of use of its products especially with washing machines and almost most of the manufacturers suggest or provide an ariel product with their machine to use for which shows the brand value and quality of its product.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Marketing Strategy –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ariel has been able to do them both by acquiring a huge market share and uplifting its brand image and goodwill to its customers, partners, investors, etc through continuous development and marketing campaigns.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Creative and Options –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ariel has been creative since the first day by being the first-ever company to introduce fragrance into detergents, coming up with their liquid matic technology, and many more. On top of that, they also provide a lot of options to their customers like – Ariel anti-germ matic washing powder, liquid detergent powder, 3 in 1 pod, and many more.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weaknesses of Ariel</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weakness are the things that an organization or brand is not good at and is also inherent within the organization or brand. These are the areas that are needed to be worked upon and decrease the list of weaknesses. Following are some of the Weaknesses of Ariel.</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Price Sensitive Markets –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Places like India and China are highly price-sensitive markets and ariel needs to consider its pricing strategy to not lose any market share as they are already a premium brand.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Multiple Preference of Brands – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Customers prefer multiple brands for multiple purposes and jump from brand to brand. Some people prefer cheap brands for daily clothes and premium brands for occasional or expensive clothes. This is where ariel has a backfoot as it is more premium and people only require premium detergent on occasions rather than the regular usage clothes.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Digital Presence –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Though ariel has its websites, blogs, and other digital adversaries. It still lacks in digitally placing its brand to potential customers. Their digital presence is not up to the point, there is still room for improvement in the online side of the business. They are active in running social media ads and campaigns, advertising but the reach is quite not there yet given the fact that it’s a P&amp;G brand and is a premium product in its market industry.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opportunities for Ariel</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opportunities are the advantages that would be beneficial for brands and organizations. These need to be identified through extensive market research and study. Once you know about the opportunities, you have an advantage over your competitors. Following are some of the Opportunities for Ariel:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Market Penetration –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> There is a scope of growth of the Indian detergent market by 7-8% which ariel can find an opportunity to move ahead of its competitors and acquire.&nbsp;</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Variants –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ariel can introduce a new segment of variants at a cheaper price for the lower middle class and rural area people. This would also help them expand their reach and acquire new customers &amp; market share in the long run and also provide options to its customers.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Untapped Market – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ariel can acquire market share in the emerging markets and the rural areas of developing or developed countries.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Threats to Ariel</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Threats are the phenomena that can impact an organization or brand negatively like changes in prices, deviant supply chains, and also competitors. Threats are to be taken utmost care of, as they can hamper an organization’s or brand’s growth and profit. Following are some of the Threats to Ariel:</span></p><ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Counterfeit Products –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> There is a major threat to a companies reputation and brand image. Being a detergent brand there are many rural vendors that try to earn profit through these counterfeit products.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Changing Tech –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Brands that are not dynamic enough to adapt to the changes will not be able to survive in these rapidly changing markets.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Ambush marketing –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Ambush marketing means being on the coattail of a big campaign or event without even participating or sponsoring the same. For example, Surf Excel sponsors an R&amp;D Scientist in Ariel’s&nbsp; R&amp;D Technology Event. Brands need to be aware of this and be at the forefront of such threats.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Government Norms and Tax Policies –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> This is quite a general threat to every major industry as the government can bring in new norms and tax policies without any prior notice and it can affect the operations of the business. So it is always better and advisable to stay updated and in sync with the updated norms and policies.</span></li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><b>Competitors –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> As businesses grow, competitors too and there are a lot of competitors in the market. The main competitions of ariel are surf excel, tide, Nirma, ghari, wheel, rin, etc. Surf excel, tide and ghari have already beaten ariel in market share of the lower- middle and the rural class people whose percentage is higher as compared to the market segment ariel has captured.</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With this, we have reached the end of the SWOT Analysis of Ariel. These analyses help Ariel to get a larger idea of the market and its standing which will then be useful to make proper strategies.</span></p></div></div>

<div class="raw-html-embed"><div data-bglz="1" class="et_pb_text_inner"><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion&nbsp;</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On the study of the SWOT Analysis of Ariel, we have known that it is one of the best laundry detergent brands in India. Ariel has a good brand quality and trust, it also has a large market share. It can bring more variants in its products and can enter the untapped market to increase its market share. But even with such advantages, Ariel suffers some flaws in the market.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The price-sensitive market and its lack of digital presence along with the Counterfeit Products create a negative impact on the companies growth. It can improve its market stands by implementing the latest digital marketing techniques. It is important for every business to have a digital presence as most people are using digital media.
