Geographic dependence: M&M is depended for the majority of its revenue (over 60%) from India, which would affect its business in case of any economic slowdown or high inflation.

Overdependence on Automotive industry: M&M’s major part of revenues come from its automotive business which makes it vulnerable to any breakthrough in the industry or slowdown in the market.

Product Recalls affects brand image: M&M has had to recall many of its products in the recent past. For instance, In February 2015, M&M recalled XUV500 manufactured before July 2014. Such incidents affect the brand image of the company and consequently affect sales.

Opportunities in the SWOT Analysis of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. :

Growth in Indian automotive industry: The Indian automotive industry is growing year on year with over 12% growth from the previous 3 years. The industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13% in the next 4 years. This growth can be beneficial for M&M.

Increasing Demand for Hybrid Electric Vehicles: There is an increasing demand for Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) around the world. The demand for HEVs is expected to grow at a CAGR of 19% in the next 3 years. M&M has a strong portfolio of HCVs and is set to be benefited by the growing demand.

Emerging nations: M&M should look forward to tapping the emerging nations around the world which have high potential. M&M should build over its global footprint to tap the emerging markets.

Threats in the SWOT Analysis of Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd. :

Competition in the automotive industry: M&M faces intense competition from various automotive companies such as Tata Motors, Ford, Volvo and General Motors etc. This can affect M&M’s market share and put pressure to constantly innovate on M&M.

Competition in other businesses put pressure on M&M: Mahindra group faces strong competition in other businesses as well. For example, its IT business faces competition from IT giants such as Infosys. This reduces market share and increases competitive pressure.
