The German Hugo Boss Group is still one of the big names in the fashion industry, whether it is in the field of clothing, distribution or production of clothing and accessories. As a result, it faces a lot of competition from other large companies, which we would like to present to you here in more detail.
In the luxury goods sector, Hugo Boss faces competition mainly from the LVMH group, which owns a number of major brands in the same market.
As far as the giants of the textile industry are concerned, we can of course mention Inditex, Gap and H&M.
Finally, in the field of fashion production and distribution, we find the companies Adidas, American Apparel, Claude Vell, petit Bateau, Reebok and the Zannier group. We can also mention Aigle, Benetton, Billabong, Celio and Diesel as more or less direct competitors of the Hugo Boss group.
Here are the main current partnerships of the Hugo Boss Group with some major international companies.
Since 2009, Hugo Boss has been one of the many partners of the ADP Group and offers its products in the duty-free centres of the main airports owned by the latter.
In 2010 and in order to advance its positioning in Asia, Hugo Boss has established a joint venture with the Chinese group Rainbow.
In 2015, Hugo Boss partnered with the car manufacturer Mercedes to create a limited edition line of clothing for the team's drivers as well as the general public.
The brand Hugo Boss and its image in the world is of course the first strong point of this company. Indeed, Hugo Boss is a name that is well known to everyone and enjoys a very positive image among the general public. This popularity has been made possible by the use of high quality manufacturing techniques for the development of equally high quality products.
Hugo Boss can also ensure its sales thanks to a very large distribution network which it has throughout the world and which enables it to sell its goods in many countries without depending solely on retailers. The group has more than 6,000 points of sale in no less than 110 different countries.
The Hugo Boss brand also stands out from the competition because of its strategy of frequent product renewal, since the group is constantly bringing out new collections with unique and modern products.
Another strength of the Hugo Boss group is its ability to diversify its product range and areas of expertise. Indeed, Hugo Boss not only produces and markets clothing and ready-to-wear products but also offers a range of accessories and perfumes. These products provide the company with more sources of income and therefore enable it to protect itself against the risks associated with a single segment.
The investments in marketing and advertising of this company are also paying off and the resulting profits are higher, which is another strength of this brand.
Finally, Hugo Boss can also count on a large workforce as it employs no less than 13,000 people around the world to respond effectively to demand, whatever the level.
As you have just seen with the list of Hugo Boss Group's strengths, this company should grow or at least maintain its current profitability in the coming years. But you should also know that this company also has its flaws and weaknesses. It is these negative elements that we propose you to discover here with the two main weak points of the group.
Firstly, it is known that the Hugo Boss Group is subject to very strong competition in its sector of activity. It is therefore very difficult for it to increase its market share and its expansion is therefore severely limited with significant risks of losing customers.
Another point that strongly penalizes the profitability of the Hugo Boss company concerns the counterfeiting activities and imitations of branded products of which the products of the Hugo Boss group are part.
These two elements are certainly not major threats for the company but can nevertheless have a certain influence on its share price. You should therefore take them into account when conducting your analysis.
