Lava Threats

Competition from the large and established competitors against which they may fail to compete successfully, which can reduce demand for the products and services which may lead to reduced prices and profit margins which can further result in loss of market share.
The company has a customer base which is highly price sensitive. Hence the company has to price their products competitively in order to capture a wider market, but offering products at lower prices is not always a viable solution as it affects the profitability of the company.
The company is likely to face a stiff competition, at every segment of the current market, from brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, Realme, Micromax, Honor, Oneplus, Samsung etc.
