SWOT ANALYSIS OF BLOCK INDUSTRY BUSINESS

STRENGTHS,

weaknesses, opportunities and threats" within a particular business or field. The

cement industry is an example of a field for which a SWOT analysis would
enhance marketing and management strategies.

To plan marketing and management strategies for businesses, it is important to

perform a situations analysis. One such analysis, a SWOT analysis, examines
Strengths.

The cement block industry has many strengths to be considered. Cement is,
literally, the building block of the construction industry. Almost every building
constructed relies on cement for its foundation. The block moulding business is
a $10 billion industry.. There is also a strong reputation behind the block
industry. Cement is a solid material and consumers rarely have complaints
about the product.

WEAKNESSES

The cement block industry is not without its drawbacks. The block industry
relies on construction jobs to create a profit. But the block industry heavily relies
on weather. About two-thirds of cement block production takes place between
May and October. Cement producers often use the dry seasons to produce and
stockpile cement, to meet demand. Another weakness is the cost of transport; the
cost of transporting cement is high and this keeps cement from being profitable
over long distances. In other words, transporting cement costs more than the
profit from selling it.

OPPORTUNITIES.

1.The block industries has opportunities as well. One such opportunity is the
block industry's efficiency. The block industry has recently streamlined its
production efforts, using more advanced equipment for its production which
encourages expansion. The cement industry has also invested about $6 billion in
expansion efforts to meet unmet cement needs. Projections show that by 2025,
the cement industry will have 25 percent more production capabilities .

2.Employment creation .

3.Porverty eradication.

4.Training and knowledge advancement.

5.Better living standard.

6.Adding value to the country’s economy.

Threats
The nature of the economy have uncovered a number of threats to the cement
block industry. The block industry greatly relies on construction. The current
economy has lessened the number of construction jobs, which in turn hurts the
block industry. The cement block industry controls the majority of the Nigeria
market, but not all of it.
Expensive labour.

Government policies.

Increase in costs of raw materials.

Changing technologies or method of distribution threatens ones position in the

market.

The block industry SWOT analysis indicates that the industry has been greatly
affected by the economic downturn. However, with investments, the industry
believes it can rebuild and increase production. This will lessen the need for
foreign imports. The industry has become very renationalized because of the
high costs of transporting cement. However, the regional market caters to all
types of jobs, from residential to commercial projects .

ENVIRONMENT
The site would be located in industrial areas or at a suitable site outside the
defined settlement boundary/residential areas .It is best to buy automatic block
making machine for more and better production at a faster speed.
