Bargaining Power of Suppliers

• the strength of the supplier brand

• the source of supply spans only a small number

of suppliers

• switching supplier

• substitute products of suppliers

• forward integration

Bargaining Power of Buyers

• where few buyers control a large volume of the

market

• where there are a large number of smaller

suppliers fighting for a share of the market

• the cost of switching supplier is low

• the supplier’s product is a mass-market

product and not necessarily differentiated

• strong customer power

• threat of backward vertical integration

The Threat for Potential Entrants

• economies of scale

• access to new distribution channels

• brand loyalty

• capital investment

• competitor retaliation

• regulatory influence

Threat of Substitutes

• a new product or service equivalent

• a new product replacing an existing product

• consumer substitution

Key Factors Influencing

Competitive Rivalry

• stage of product life cycle of competing product

• use of specialized production techniques

• liquidity of competitor

• ability to achieve differentiation and brand

loyalty

• competitor intentions

• the relative size of the competitor

• barrier of exit from the industry

• number of sellers & degree of products

differentiation

� all companies manufacturing/supplying products delivering same service.E.g. .. Bus carrier = Railways, cars, planes

� all companies competing for the same spending powerE.g. .. House extension = holiday

Who Are Our Competitors (potentially)?

� smaller companies attacking the market segment

� companies operating in other markets wishing to expand

• exclusive distribution - severely limiting the number of intermediaries; even only one outlet in a certain geographic area supplies a product

Key characteristic include:

• maximum number of outlets covered to maximize availability

• target outlets in as many geographical regions as possible

• consumer convenience products

• high number of purchasers

• high purchase frequency

• impulsive purchase

• low price
