,Porter’s Five Forces Model
Helps identify the sources of competition of an industry or sector. It identifies five forces that
determine the competitive intensity of an industry, and therefore the attractiveness of the
industry.
• Threat of entry:
o Are there barriers to entry?
o Barriers to entry: factors that need to be overcome by new entrants if they are to
compete successfully
o Delays, not permanent – Economies of scale – Capital requirement of entry –
Access to supply or distribution channels – Customer or supplier loyalty –
Experience – Expected retaliation – Legislation/governments – Differentiation
• Threat of substitutes
o Substitution reduces demand for a particular “class” of products as customer
switch to alternatives
▪ Product for product substitution
▪ Substitution of need
▪ Generic substitution
• Bargaining power of buyers and suppliers
o Buyers’ bargaining power is high when:
▪ There is a concentration of buyers (high volumes, or large number of small
suppliers)
▪ Switching costs of buyers to other products are low
o Suppliers’ bargaining power is high when:
▪ There is a concentration of suppliers rather than fragmented sources of
supply
▪ Switching costs of the firm (the buyer) are high
• Intensity of Rivalry
o The more intense the competitive rivalry, the lower the profits among rivals •
Intensity of rivalry is stronger when:
▪ There are many (strong) competitors
▪ The industry experiences slow growth ( INDUSTRY life cycle)
▪ Low customer loyalty
▪ Products lack differentiation or low switching costs
▪ High cost of leaving market, i.e. high exit barriers
