COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Global - Computers & Peripherals 0199 - 2027 - 2010

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

The computers & peripherals market will be analyzed taking manufacturers of computer hardware and software as players. The key buyers will be taken as individual and commercial end-users, and electronic component manufacturers as the key suppliers.

The computers and peripherals industry is dominated by a number of large players such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell. The concentration of the industry is a continuing trend, with merger and acquisition activity being common. This avoids threats from emerging companies, but rivalry is intense between the major players.

The global computers and peripherals industry is composed of the computer hardware market and the computer storage and peripherals market. Manufacturers have a wide variety of potential customers since the use of such products is pervasive within domestic and professional environments. Technological expertise is essential for entry to this industry. Companies within this industry tend to invest in considerable research and development activity in order to develop novel products that supersede those of competitors. Such R&D activity usually requires significant capital outlay. Rivalry in this market is boosted due to a number of factors including high fixed costs and exit barriers.

The global computers and peripherals industry is composed of the computer hardware market and the computer storage and peripherals market, and as such, encompasses diverse activities that range from serving the business infrastructure requirements of companies to providing PCs and peripherals to individual consumers. The presence of such a wide variety of potential customers weakens buyer power considerably. Major buyers of products in this industry are business customers for whose operations such equipment is often indispensable. Business customers often have supply contracts with individual manufacturers and therefore often incur significant switching costs. Brand image can play an important role in this industry, with companies such as Hewlett-Packard relying upon their strong brand image to maximize sales. However, although brand awareness is high, customers are generally more interested in the quality and specifications of individual products, and customer loyalty is therefore relatively low. Buyer power within this industry is assessed as moderate overall.

Suppliers to the computers and peripherals industry generally include electronic component manufacturers. The majority of components supplied to this industry display minimal differentiation and, in order to reduce costs, are often sourced from companies operating from low-cost manufacturing regions. Manufacturers do not incur significant costs when switching basic component suppliers and, in such instances, supplier power is low. However, a number of companies such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell are dependent on one or a limited number of suppliers for some sophisticated components. Consequently, if any of such suppliers were to cancel or materially change contracts or commitments, or fail to meet the quality or delivery requirements needed to satisfy customer orders for products, players could lose customer orders.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Global - Computers & Peripherals 0199 - 2027 - 2010

As a result, players would be unable to develop or sell certain products cost-effectively or on a timely basis, if at all, and have significantly decreased revenues and earnings, which would have an adverse effect on business, results of operations and the financial condition of market players' business. Such suppliers have disproportionately high supplier power. A number of players operating in this industry put significant pressure on suppliers by manufacturing components and selling them on to other players or using them in their own products. Supplier power is assessed as strong overall.

Technological expertise is essential for entry to this industry, with capital being required for a skilled workforce. Market players tend to benefit from significant scale economies in manufacturing. Furthermore, those most successful within the industry diversify their operations into the many sectors involved and, as a result, tend to be large conglomerates such as IBM and Toshiba. However, on a smaller level, certain companies have gained leadership by specializing in a particular product group, such as Cisco Systems’ specialization in IP networking systems. Manufacturers within this industry must continually invest in research and development in order to bring improved products to the market. Such R&D activity usually requires significant capital outlay. For example, Hewlett-Packard Company’s expenditures for research and development were $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2007. The environment of this industry is fast-paced. Some larger companies attempt to remain ahead of technological advancements through technological alliances. Many products are patent protected and often manufactured and sold under license. Protection of intellectual property by defending patents is an additional cost for manufacturers. Companies rely on patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws and contract rights to establish and maintain proprietary rights in technology and products. Although customer loyalty to specific manufacturers is relatively low, brand awareness is high, which restricts the entry of new players into the industry somewhat. Overall, there is a weak likelihood of new entrants to this industry.

The threat of substitutes within the computers and peripherals industry is moderate, with much of the functionality of modern PCs being unavailable through alternative means. However, one of the largest threats to the consumer PC market lies within the sphere of gaming, especially with respect to next generation games consoles, whose increased specifications are attracting gamers away from the PC format. Mobile phones and similar hand-held devices with email and web browser capability can also supplant much of the communication role of PCs. Televisions are also starting to offer online services and increased functionality.

The computers and peripherals industry is dominated by a number of large players such as Hewlett-Packard and Dell. The concentration of the industry is a continuing trend, with merger and acquisition activity being common. There are significant pricing pressures within the industry that act to intensify rivalry between players. However, a number of companies attempt to offset such pressures by outsourcing the manufacturing of certain computer components to contract manufacturers in the Asia-Pacific region. Rapidly improving technology in both size and functionality combined with the demands of new software upon platform requirements, leads to relatively short product-lifecycles for PC hardware. Although bolstering overall computer sales, this places significant demands upon manufacturers to keep up with rapidly changing consumer trends, whilst generating a fiercely competitive environment.

A number of larger players within this industry are large conglomerates (e.g. IBM and Toshiba). Such companies have highly diversified operations, which alleviates rivalry to an extent. Overall, rivalry within this industry is assessed as moderate.
