11. PEST ANALYSIS
POLITICAL Environment
• The Indian economy went through a massive liberalization under the new
minority government of P.V. Narasimha Rao in 1991.
• Starbucks needs to vary about the possible opposition from existing
competitors-CCD/ Barista/ Costa Coffee etc.) through the use of political
influence and delaying tactics.
• The Indian economy has been subject to series of positive economic
reforms since 1991 which had created a better working environment for
foreign companies and has made it possible for foreign investors to
operate in the country more easily.
• The reforms have also resulted in higher growth rates, lower inflation
and increase and ease of the foreign investments.
12. PEST ANALYSIS
ECONOMIC Environment
• The liberalization measures taken in 1991 opened the economy
to foreign investment and trade.
• Favorable environment for Starbuck's entry are provided by
the big cities in the country as Mumbai is regarded as the
country's financial center and accommodates many foreign
financial organizations.
• Furthermore, the government strives to reduce its fiscal deficit
to 3.9% of GDP from 6.8% in previous years.
13. PEST ANALYSIS
SOCIO-CULTURAL Environment.
The ethical approach towards internal and external stakeholders is almost
a trademark for Starbucks. The company is widely known for its humane
approach towards sourcing its coffee and related products and towards
converting its employees to skilled baristas and dedicated brand
ambassadors.
According to market research studies, coffee was mainly consumed in the
urban areas (71%) and to a much lesser extent in the rural areas (29%).
The people in southern states of India largely consumed coffee. The people
in the northern states were generally not coffee drinkers, but drank coffee
and experimented with various flavors as a fashion statement.
14. PEST ANALYSIS
TECHNOLOGICAL Environment
• The coffee beans and tea need be bought from local Indian farmers in order
to support the local agricultural economy, save money in transportation and
tariffs, and gain tax benefits.
• In 2004 Starbucks entered into a strategic alliance with Tata Coffee LTD.,
the largest coffee producer in India. With signing this agreement, Starbucks
finally found the partner it needed.
• A company which met all the conditions and standards followed by
Starbucks. Tata proofed its quality standard by winning a gold medal for
the best Robusta coffee in the world.
15. PORTER’s 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY RIVALRY:HIGH
• Major competition for Starbucks in India comes from that of Café coffee
day.
• The abbreviation CCD is known to most of the people in urban parts of
India. Their positioning is same as what Starbucks have in US.
• The other competitors include Barista Lavazza, Quicky's, Barista and Costa
Coffee, which are also the multinational brands, and widely recognized.
• Apart from them, secondary competitors include the Georgia Coffee,
served in fast food joints like that of Mc Donald’s and KFC, etc.
16. PORTER’s 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
POTENTIAL FOR NEW ENTRANTS:LOW
• The entry barriers in the coffee retail industry are relatively low in
India, particularly for the foreign players. This is possible owing to the
fact that 51% FDI is allowed in India in retail sector.
• Any large or well-funded company having the thorough understanding
of the market can enter into retail sector in India.
• Customer or Supplier Loyalty:
• Indian market is already being captured by the long established
brands like Café coffee day, Barista, Barista Lavazza and Costa
Coffee.
• It is going to be pretty much difficult for any of the new entrant to
establish its brand name in the Indian market.
• As Starbucks being the international brand will definitely help in
attracting the educated Indian crowd.
17. PORTER’s 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE:SUBSTANTIAL
• Product substitutes, will include Teas, other beverages, for example, soda,
fruit juices, water, beer or other liquid and/or carbonated beverages.
• Since Starbucks also sells fast foods, other fast food beverages like burgers,
etc.
• The lower end local coffee houses or other snack shops which are less
luxurious will also act as substitutes to Starbucks.
18. PORTER’s 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS:LOW
• In the case of coffee retail, the suppliers, supplying the retailer with
the coffee beans are not having much of the bargaining power.
• Coffee retailers like Starbucks is a very big buyers for any of the
supplier, so suppliers cannot afford to loose them.
• Similarly, suppliers of other resources like that of paper products
etc. will not be having much of the bargaining power as there are
many sources from which the company can source them.
• However, this is not valid in the case of the suppliers supplying the
technological machinery and equipments as there are not many
suppliers here.
19. PORTER’s 5 FORCES ANALYSIS
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS:HIGH
• In the past, buyers in India were not having much of the bargaining power.
• With the advent of multinational food retail giants in India, like that of Mc
Donalds, Barista Lavazza, Café Coffee Day and Costa Coffee, consumer is
faced with lots of choices.
• It will be difficult for Starbucks to influence the Indian buyers to pay
premium for their products.

Starbucks in China but a domestic player will have low impact on
Starbucks.

threat because China is a tea consuming country, other beverages, for

beverages can also be considered.

also a major threat.

act as substitutes to Starbucks.
