● Indirect competitors

Baby milk companies like Vinamilk and Dutch Lady, which aresuccessful in the Vietnamese market, are some of Nestlé's indirect rivals.These two businesses have enjoyed a warm reception from consumers,and they currently have the greatest market share for dairy products inVietnam.

Milo, though, is presently up against some fierce rivalry from otherbrands Customers have a lot of options, so businesses must have adistinct positioning plan that is acceptable for them and gives them anedge over rivals.
