P&G Competition

Because of the vastness of the variety of products produced by Procter and Gamble, they have several different competitors, although of course these competitors do not compete in all the same industries. The industries that P&G compete in include food, personal care, business services, commercial cleaning and facilities management services, consumer products manufacturers, and cleaning products. For example, P&G makes Pringles, whose competitors are basically any chip products, including the local Egyptian company Chipsy, as well as any other chips producers. Although Chipsy only makes different variations of chips, while P&G makes several different products, they are direct competitors. This gives Chipsy a direct advantage, as they are able to put all their efforts and focus into the production of just one product, while P&G spreads their resources and produces many different and extremely unrelated products. Chipsy is just a simple example of course, as Pringles is not even P&Gs main focus, however it expresses the point of how some competitors could be putting all their focus and efforts on producing just one product and trying to perfect it, while P&G produces so many different products, and produces them all without compromising the quality of one for the other, as all P&G products are definitely excellent quality. However there are other competitors, some who do compete in several different industries simultaneously as does P&G. An example of this is Unilever, who competes in many different products, including hygiene products, self care, and others. Of course being a multinational corporation means that the company will have competitors both locally, as well as all around the world. In addition there are local market competitors, who produce their products locally, and compete only for local markets, while some are other multinational companies competing for local market share. In Egypt, the main competitors are L’Oreal, Kimberly Clark, Henkel,
