SWOT ANALYSIS
 SWOT ANALYSIS OF IPL

paced and exciting

weekend afternoon
3. Very appealing as a mass sport as a
spectator sport as well to TV audiences.

the generation of a solid fan-base who will generate
large TV revenues.

for IPL.
4. Huge opportunity for merchandising.
WEAKNESSES
1. It is the verge of damaging the game that
generated it.
2. Stakes are very high!
3. Some teams have overpriced their
advertising/sponsorship in order to gain some
short-term returns
THREATS
1. Maintaining the level of competition and interest in
IPL or else the revenue will fall.
2. It won't be a quick return on investment - so
owners need to be in it for the long-term.
3. Franchises are very expensive. Therefore breaking
even will also take time.
4. The most highly priced teams may not be those
that have the early success. Revenues will come from
the most highly supported teams.
