FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS




The footwear market will be analyzed taking footwear retailers as players. The key buyers will be taken as individual consumers, and footwear manufacturers as the key suppliers.

Summary

Figure 3: Forces driving competition in the footwear market in South Africa, 2009


The footwear retail market is highly fragmented, but large retail groups hold a strong position in the market wielding bargaining power over suppliers. Rivalry is strongest between these large players.

The footwear market in South Africa will be analyzed taking end-user consumers as buyers and footwear manufacturers as suppliers. As footwear is a basic necessity, and thus involves high sales volumes, buyer power for individual consumers is reduced considerably. Much of the footwear sold across the South Africa is sourced from manufacturers based in low-cost manufacturing locations, especially South-East Asia, and therefore domestic manufacturers lack the ability to compete effectively within the mainstream footwear market without outsourcing to such regions. As fixed costs for retail operations are relatively low, new entrants are common. However, owing to the existence of large established retail groups, that wield significant economies of scale, it may be difficult for such new entrants to increase in size considerably. Although footwear retailing is fairly fragmented, the market is dominated by large retail groups between whom there is a high degree of rivalry.




Buyer power

Figure 4: Drivers of buyer power in the footwear market in South Africa, 2009


Buyers with respect to the footwear market are defined as end-user consumers and market players as footwear retailers. The necessity, and therefore high sales volumes, of footwear reduces the buyer power of individual consumers considerably. As a consequence of fashions and the variety of different functional footwear categories, there is a great deal of differentiation within the footwear market. This increases choice for consumers and the availability of suitable products, which in turn strengthens the power of market players over buyers as they can target a wider range of customer. Overall, buyer power with respect to the footwear market is moderate.




Supplier power

Figure 5: Drivers of supplier power in the footwear market in South Africa, 2009


Suppliers to the footwear retail market are defined as footwear manufacturers. Much of the footwear sold within South Africa is sourced from manufacturers in low-cost manufacturing locations, especially South-East Asia, and therefore many western countries' domestic manufacturers lack the ability to compete effectively within the mainstream footwear market. Many suppliers have gained power within the market through differentiating their offerings. They have achieved this both by producing specialist footwear for specific applications and by producing high-end designer footwear. The high number of manufacturers within low-cost manufacturing regions provides ample potential for switching and this, coupled with the economic advantage held by western retailers and wholesalers, means that supplier power in this context is weakened. With the exception of very popular brand name manufacturers such as Nike, it is difficult for a manufacturer to establish themselves in retail and therefore forward integration is rare. Overall, supplier power with respect to the footwear market is moderate.




New entrants

Figure 6: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the footwear market in South

Africa, 2009


Fixed costs for retail operations are relatively low and new entrants are common. However, there exists in this market a number of large established retail groups that wield significant economies of scale through bulk purchasing and pooling certain back office operations. As a consequence of this, it is difficult for such new entrants to increase in size considerably. Given the large number of low cost manufacturers supplying the market, it is relatively easy for new players to establish the required supply chain. With the exception of certain specialist types of footwear, such as sportswear and designer products, brand recognition of footwear retailers is relatively low, further facilitating the entrance of new players. Furthermore, the South African footwear market has shown strong growth in recent years and more growth is forecast. This makes the market attractive to potential new entrants. Overall, the threat of new entrants with respect to the footwear retail market is strong.




Substitutes

Figure 7: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the footwear market in South Africa,

2009


As footwear is a basic necessity, the threat of substitutes to the market is limited. However, there is a significant degree of substitution between segments of the market. For example, sportswear is often a substitute for other more traditional footwear types. Overall, the threat of substitutes is moderate to weak.




Rivalry

Figure 8: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the footwear market in South Africa, 2009


Although footwear retailing is fairly fragmented, the market is dominated by large retail groups, between whom there is a high degree of rivalry. However, fixed costs for retail operations are not prohibitively high and, therefore, smaller companies easily co-exist within the market. Furthermore, this allows relatively easy expansion of output capacity, which enhances rivalry. There is a high degree of diversity between retailers, with dedicated shoe retailers competing with apparel retailers and large supermarket chains. Overall, rivalry between footwear retailers is assessed as moderate.
