The major competitors of Christian Dior

If it is important to know the Dior company and its activities well, the same applies to its economic environment, which should be the subject of a thorough preliminary study. In this sense, you must of course know the sector of activity of Dior and its main players and here is a detailed presentation of the major competitors of this company at the moment:

Hermès 

First of all, the Hermès Paris group, formerly known as Hermès International or simply Hermès, is a French company that specialises in the design, manufacture and sale of luxury products. It operates in the fields of leather goods, ready-to-wear, perfumery, watches, homeware, lifestyle and tableware. The group was founded in 1837 in Paris by Thierry Hermès as a harness and saddle manufacturer. Today, the group is still largely owned by the Hermès family and its heirs, and the family's personal fortune is estimated at more than €39,600 million.

L'Oréal 

Another major competitor of Dior is of course L'Oréal. This is a French industrial group specialising in the cosmetics sector. The company was founded on 30 July 1909 by Eugène Schueller and quickly became an international group and the world leader in the cosmetics industry. Françoise Bettencourt and her children hold the largest share of the company's capital with 33.2%. The Bettencourt family fortune is thus estimated at more than 75 billion US dollars. It is also important to note that the brands owned and operated by L'Oréal are divided by distribution channels and into four divisions with professional products, consumer products, L'Oréal Luxury products and active cosmetics. The group operates in 150 countries around the world.

Lafuma

Finally, the last serious competitor you should consider when analysing the Christian Dior share is the Lafuma Group. The latter is a French designer and manufacturer of sports and leisure equipment that was founded in 1930 and has become one of the pioneers of outdoor sports equipment. It is also a holding company that is listed on the Paris stock exchange and is controlled by the Swiss group Calida.


The major partners of Christian Dior

The Christian Dior group is not without difficulty one of the world's leading providers of corporate communications services. Indeed, its marketing strategy uses various methods, including the establishment of targeted partnerships with certain complementary or competing companies.

Amore Pacific Corporation

In 2015, the Christian Dior group joined forces with the Korean cosmetics giant Amore Pacific Corporation. The aim of this partnership is to allow Christian Dior's cosmetics subsidiary to benefit from the cushion technology put in place by Amore Pacific for its new product line, particularly foundations.

Nike

More recently, in 2017, there were rumours of a partnership between Christian Dior and the sportswear brand Nike following a photo posted on the social network Instagram associating the logos of the two brands. It remains to be seen whether these rumours will be confirmed.

LVMH 

Finally, we must also take into account the takeover of Christian Dior by the rival group LVMH which took place in 2017 and which radically changed the positioning of this company in this market.

Positive factors for Christian Dior
The factors in favour of a rise in the Christian Dior share price:

First of all, it is important to point out that one of the great strengths of the Christian Dior group is its long-standing presence in the market and its experience of more than fifty years based on an important heritage. For several decades now, Christian Dior has been an emblematic brand of luxury and this company can also count on a strategic presence of its points of sale on the main avenues dedicated to luxury in the world.

We can also appreciate the success of the strategy put in place by the group and based on a strong diversification of its ranges of products related to luxury ready-to-wear products.

Of course, the acquisition of Louis Vuitton was an event that further strengthened the Christian Dior group. After all, Louis Vuitton is one of the largest international luxury goods companies, and it adds significant value to Dior.

As far as the Christian Dior brand image is concerned, the originality of the group's concept stores is particularly appreciated. These shops are all different from each other and each has its own unique theme. As a result, the Christian Dior brand can be seen as an original brand with a very strong identity.

This of course brings us to another undeniable advantage of this company, this time concerning the quality and strength of its reputation around the world. Christian Dior is indeed a brand known in almost every country on the planet and is systematically associated with the idea of refinement and quality.

Christian Dior's communication and marketing strategy is also an element to be highlighted as an asset of this group. Indeed, Christian Dior invests a lot in the different communication channels with high-end TV and print ads.

The final advantage of the Christian Dior group concerns its workforce. The company currently employs no less than 80,000 people worldwide.

Negative factors for Christian Dior
The factors in favour of a drop in the Christian Dior share price:

Firstly, one of Lafarge's main weaknesses is its significant exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations. Indeed, given that the group's activities are international and that Christian Dior has outlets in many countries around the world, these exchange rate fluctuations with the euro can sometimes lead to more or less significant losses in revenue.

Finally, the second and last weak point of Christian Dior concerns the very important competition in this sector of activity. The presence of this competition limits the growth of the group's market share, not to mention the worrying phenomenon of counterfeits and copies of the brand's products, which are causing increasing problems for the brand's identity.
