difficult because companies like nestle, mars,
Ferrero has already captured the market
significantly. They have their own dominant
position with their own particular types of
products. Because of this entry of new competitors

Cadbury organisation it will be very difficult
because company has power to attract customer
and to influence them by giving more attractive
substitute products, prices.
Threat of substitute
Main threat which Cadbury company face it
from supermarkets. They create product with doing
copy from Cadbury and provides to customers in very
cheap rate. This create hurdles for company because
customer get attracted to chocolates which is fair in
price. Another threat for Cadbury is to find location
which provide them smooth entry to operate their
business.
Bargaining power of buyers
Cadbury has large buying power as they have billions
of customers which use their products. Price is not the matter
for company but competitors which are providing same types
of product in lower cost may affect customer's loyalty in
company. Therefore, Cadbury is more careful in deciding their
products price which helps them sustain customer's loyalty.
Bargaining power of suppliers

they have high bargaining power rather from its
suppliers. Cadbury maintains positive relationship
with its supplier which maintains there sales volume
in market. As Cadbury has large business across the
nation for which they purchase raw material in bulk
in a cheaper rate from its suppliers. They need high
raw materials like nuts, milk, cocoa or special
ingredients which is more than sufficient to provide
its production.

and Mars. They are generating effective products to
provide tough competition to Cadbury and these
companies are also even working hard to remove

retails where Cadbury's products are selling which attract
