Opportunities in the SWOT analysis of Harley Davidson
1.Asian & Europe Markets: The demand in the developing Asian & European nations is increasing for Harley and there are very (rather no) players competing in this segment. Thus, it is a very attractive opportunity for Harley to capture these markets aggressively.
2.Lower CC bikes: With its own set of loyal & cult followers, it can attract the young customers for whom if it can launch low end heavyweight vehicles (say 350 CC) which will help the company to increase its Customer base.
3.Women & Young Riders: Harley can use its increased marketing efforts to further increase the customer base by marketing towards untapped segments. For example, in 2000, women riders were purchasing about 15,000 motorcycles per year. In just 5 years, sales to women had jumped to over 30,000 motorcycles per year. In 2006, women accounted for 12% of all bike sales.
