Cadbury's as we know it today started from humble beginnings in Bull Street, Birmingham. A shop was opened by John Cadbury in 1824. It did not start as a confectionery shop but sold tea and coffee and home made drinking chocolate or cocoa which he made himself for his customers. John Cadbury moved into the manufacturing of drinking chocolate and cocoa. By the early 1840's Cadbury operated from a factory in Bridge Street and went into partnership with his brother Benjamin. 'Cadbury Brothers of Birmingham'
Cadbury's received a Royal Warrant in 1854 as manufacturers of chocolate for Queen Victoria. Cadbury's moved on to become a limited company and after the death of Richard Cadbury the sons of the two brothers joined the firm headed by George Cadbury. This was very much a family business in every sense of the word. In 1969 the Cadbury Group merged with Schweppes. Cadbury Schweppes Plc is a leader in confectionery and soft drinks both in the UK and abroad. With factories all over the world and a host of well known brand names it has become a household name in many countries.

4 PC OF CADBURY
Place Cadbury dairy milk is produced at the chocolate factory in Bourneville in Birmingham. After the chocolate is produced and has undergone all the quality checks it is transported to the stockrooms. After this Cadbury sells it products to shops that deal with beverages and confectionery e.g. corner shops, super stores. They then sell it to the general public. Cadbury produces chocolate for more than 200 countries so that they have a chance to enjoy it as well and make profit.
Product My product is a re-launch of Cadbury dairy milk. Cadbury dairy milk is made from real chocolate. Its ingredients include cocoa butter and there is a glass and half full cream dairy milk in every 200 grams of Cadbury dairy milk chocolate, Cadbury buys 65 million litres of fresh milk each year to make Cadbury dairy milk chocolate. Price Price is an important element of the marketing mix. The price charged for a chocolate bar can determine whether a consumer will buy it and the level of sales achieved can determine whether or not Cadbury Schweppes will make a profit.
Promotion The purpose of promotion is to communicate directly with potential or existing customers, in order to encourage them to purchase dairy milk and recommend it to others.
MICRO-ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS:
(1)MARKET CONCENTRATION & COMPETITION
The chocolate industry is highly concentrated. Cadbury and Nestle together account for 90% of the retail sales with Cadbury being the market leader. Competition in this industry is fierce,especially between Cadbury and Nestle. Both Cadbury and Nestle have rival products in everysegment (Cadburys DairyMilk, 5 Star, Perk vs. Nestles Classic, bar-one, munch, etc.)
(2) BARRIERS TO ENTRY The industrys main barrier to entry is with respect to advertising. The incumbent firms have spentmillions of rupees to create brand-loyalty with consumers. The cumulative effects of advertisingcreate an absolute cost advantage for the incumbent firms, thus entrants must overcome not onlycurrent advertising efforts, but also the lingering impact of past marketing campaigns. High sunkcosts also act as a barrier to entry. (3) SUPPLIER POWER Industry uses a wide range of raw materials in manufacturing chocolate products, the main ones beingcocoa beans, sugar and other sweeteners
(including polyols and artificial sweeteners such asaspartame), dairy products (including milk), gumbase and fruit and nuts. Cadbury buys its raw materials from suppliers around the world. No single supplier accounts for morethan 10% of their raw material purchases.
(4) BUYER POWER End consumers have strong buyer power because of the availability of substitutes, both generic and brand names. It is easy for a consumer to purchase a nearly identical product for a lower price. Thisgives consumers a great deal of leverage and leads Cadbury to
spend millions of rupees to createproduct differentiation via advertisements and new products to catch up with the evolving trends in the market.
(5) SUBSTITUTES The current trends in the market suggest that traditional sweets are possible substitutes for chocolates. In order to strengthen the special relationship consumers share with chocolates, Cadbury Indialaunched its all-year-round Cadbury Celebration gifting range with an array of newly designedCadbury Celebration packs.
The Food Safety and Standard Bill, 2005 with penal provisions requires a review as the samegives huge powers to the Inspecting Officers to seize food articles without authorization andmay create unwanted confusion to the detriment of the company. ECONOMIC: The prices of cocoa and milk, the chief ingredients used in chocolates, have gone up by 50 percent, If the prices of thesecommodities keep increasing, Cadbury will be forced to increase the prices.
Low margins, high volumes, price sensitivity of the industry and competition from cheaper substitutes leaves little room for price manoeuvring.
In October 2003, seizure of chocolates stock from Pune plant after worms were found bycustomers in Dairy Milk packages; Sales dropped by 30 percent.
TECHNOLOGICAL: Adoption of JDA softwares space and category management solution resulted in 93.75% reduction in planning and processing time and increase in productivity.
e-Commerce has not picked up that well - not much turnover through this route future growth prospects of this channel.
Strengths
Maintain a stable growth of a company,
WEAKNESSES
Total French production of chocolate bars and confectionary has slowed down in more recent years, partly due to the economic slump.
Consumption of chocolate products, fall in demand due to the gloomy economic situation.
Sales of milk chocolate bars, which account for 24 per cent by volume of total sales of chocolate bars, decreased by 3.7 per cent.
Opportunities
Through its confectionary product line, to build viable positions in prioritized markets. Cadbury has other opportunities to have market development in Russia and China. This company is also at the same time distributing its products via the internet Develop Gourmet Line. Besides developing the Low Calorie line of chocolates and sweets, they also offer the Sugar Free sweets line. Therefore in order to get the product into a new foreign market, France, Cadbury would have good opportunities in store for them.
The company should take note of the changes in the consumers buying trend. price wars would occur between its competitors like Mars, Hershey and Nestle. There would be seasonal sales slumps all year round which will reflect to an increase in cost of the raw materials needed. Cadbury would then have to be prepared for growth of small local gourmet chocolates and regional candy manufacturers. Also to be aware of the cost of packaging materials as it has increased over time. Increase Marketing and Promotion globally by marketing products in emerging markets.

CONCLUSION:
In order for Cadbury to reach the peak of achievement, the company would have to stress on the global growth of the product. It can be a risk to market it in the region France, but with careful study of the target market segments and its economic position, it can be an attainment. Cadbury should also look into other countries like the Asia Pacific in order to market its products popular globally. But then again, careful considerations to look at its major competitors and to obtain the rules and regulations of a certain country are equally important.
