Strength
International Presence
Apple is an international brand with high popularity in domestic as well as international markets. The company consistently focuses on innovation
to enhance user experience. Americas are the major source of revenue for the company while China also generates a significant share in the overall
revenue of the company. In 2021, the Americas accounted for 42% of the net sales of the company while Europe accounted for 24% and Greater
China accounted for 19% of the total revenue of the brand. The company has managed its international presence through physical and online stores.
In addition, the company uses third-party retailers, resellers, and wholesalers to sell its products in several corners of the globe.
When a customer buys an apple product, they enter the universe of Apple as the products do not support other software or technologies which
makes them incompatible with other devices. To continue using apple products, customers have to exclusively purchase Apple apps or accessories.
Opportunity
For increasing profit margins and gain a strong position in the market, Apple can leverage advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence. The
company has recently extended its portfolio with artificial technology. The company should emphasize the expansion of its AI portfolio for having a
strong foothold shortly.
Threat
Trade Wars
The US-China trade wars resulted in higher pressure on the technology firms of both America and China. It is not just the Chinese firms such as
Huawei that are on the receiving end. Other technology giants such as Apple have also found their operational costs increasing due to the growth in
tariffs. The company has attributed the decline in revenue and sales during the first quarter of 2019 due to the trade war and rising tariffs which led
to lower sales in China. Currently, China is the third-largest market for Apple products, accounting for close to 19% of the brand’s revenue.
