S.p.A.</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that we know about the company let us start with the SWOT Analysis of MRF Tyres.</span></p><p><strong>Bonus Watch</strong>: We recommend you check out this video on <strong>MRF Tyres</strong> to learn about their journey from toymakers to tire king of the market.</p><h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWOT Analysis of MRF Tyres</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWOT Analysis is a technique that is used to assess the internal and external factors of a business. SWOT stands for Strength, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. In this, the Strengths and Weaknesses are the internal factors of the business whereas Opportunities and Threats are the external factors of the business.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">SWOT analysis is a useful tool for an organization as it helps to recognise the positives and the negatives in the firm.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Let’s start with its SWOT Analysis by first looking at the Strengths of MRF.</span></p><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengths of MRF Tyres</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strengths are the factors that keep MRF at the top position in the industry. Following are some of the strengths of MRF:</span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Marketing Strategy-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> MRF’s Marketing strategy is quite ingenious. They believe in marketing through value and credibility. Throughout the years MRF has focused on marketing through ambassadorship by great cricketers like Virat Kohli (current brand ambassador), A.B. Devilliers, Shikhar Dhawan and racers such as Narain Karthikeyan and Chetan Korada. This shows that MRF uses ambassadors who show trust and value towards the brand and thereby reflect it onto their brand.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Brand Value – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">MRF tyres are well known for their quality of tread rubber and durability of their tyres. The reputation and quality of MRF have greatly favoured the brand value as a whole. Their launch of eco-friendly tyres, different tyre types and the use of their tyres in the Indian fighter planes has provided great value to the brand.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Great Inventory- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The inventory material and management are top-notch with 9 technically advanced manufacturing industries and great material quality. It has high customer satisfaction both quality and service wise.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Financial Stability-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> MRF tyres have a strong financial groundwork; with their investment in different sporting events and sponsoring differently they have received a great return on investment which has made it quite stable financially.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Competitive Advantage-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> By reviewing the competitor analysis it can be said that MRF has a competitive advantage mainly in the fields of brand reputation, value, inventories and financial stability. The industry is still competitive but MRF still has the edge.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weakness of MRF Tyres</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Weaknesses are the negative factors in the intern part of MRF company. It needs to be aware of these and try to eliminate them as soon as possible. Following are some of the weaknesses of MRF Tyres:</span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Lack of Flexibility – </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">MRF has built a good recognition in the past but in recent years MRF has been struggling to market their products at the same wavelength as before. Their quality of tyres is still maintaining its standards but they’re not able to keep up with the recent trends which have led to their competitors seizing the market share.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Decrease in Net Shareholding –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Due to lack of profits, MRF has decreased their shareholding capacities for the public, this may sound like a positive point but since the number of investors on the shares of MRF has decreased they may face a lack of funds in the future ventures. This can also eventually cut down their operating costs as almost half of the funds provided is used for production.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opportunities of MRF Tyres</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opportunities are the factors that help MRF Tyres to grow in the market. It needs to find out these opportunities in the market and make them their strengths. Following are some of the Strengths of MRF Tyres:</span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Heterogeneity of Market –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The tyre manufacturing industry is very diverse. There are different types of tyres for different vehicles and different purposes. From two-wheelers to commercial planes the market has a great variety of needs and MRF can take advantage of such opportunities.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>The rise in the Automobile Industry- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">The automobile industry is booming in both India and other countries around the world. India exports a lot of tyres around the world and MRF tyres have a great reputation in the foreign market which would highly benefit them. The need for automobile parts does not seem to end as of which tyre manufacturers can benefit from it.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Increase in Shareholders- </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Investors all around the world are looking for opportunities to invest in a great company to gain higher returns. The reputation of a company plays a major in providing investors for the brand. MRF has a great reputation and brand value which is very valuable in the market. Changing things up and setting on the right track can help MRF to increase their funds for their future ventures.</span></li></ul><h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Threats to MRF Tyres</span></h3><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Threats are the external factors of MRF Tyres. These create a negative impact on the company’s growth. Following are some of the threats to MRF Tyres:</span></p><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Having great competition –</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The tyre manufacturing industry in India has great competition in terms of both quality and brand recognition. CEAT is one of the topmost contenders of the brand as of now. With MRF struggling to keep up with the trends it could become a major issue and loss of competitive advantage if they do not find the solution to this issue.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Increase in cost of Raw materials-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Raw material is the key component for any product. Inflation or an increase in the price can seriously harm the production of the goods or worst case scenario bring the whole production to a standstill. Rubber is the key raw material in manufacturing tyres; if the cost of the raw material increases it could lead to great loss for the company. Mainly the production of tyres could come to a standstill leading to lack of sales.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Cheaper product availability-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Many individuals look for a cheaper option for any product or service. Although the quality of the product is great the consumer is ready to compromise it if a cheaper option is available. If MRF doesn’t go with value-based advertising they could lose the market share to cheap rip-offs.</span></li></ul><ul><li aria-level="1"><b>Labour Strikes-</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> Chennai has seen a lot of labour strikes throughout the years and MRF has had its fair share of strikes which have led to great losses. The labour community in Chennai plays a huge role in the manufacturing industry not just for MRF but for all the different types of industries across India. As most of India’s industry is run by manual labour the risk of labour strike can heavily hit the production.&nbsp;</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With this, we have reached the end of the SWOT Analysis of MRF Tyres. This analysis helps the company to get a wide idea about its company and what are the strategies that it needs to follow.</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</span></h2><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the study of the SWOT Analysis of MRF Tyres, we have seen that it is the largest tyre manufacturer in India. It has good marketing strategies in the market and even a good brand image which contributes to its strength. It can grow in the market due to the heterogeneity of the market which it can use as an advantage. Even with such positive points, it has some flaws in the market.</span></p><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Its lack of flexibility in the market, growing competition, and the increase in the raw material act as a disadvantage to the company. It can improve its market standings globally which will eliminate some part of the competition in the market. It can use digital marketing to its advantage as most people are using digital media and it is easy to find their target audience. Thus digital marketing is essential for every business.
