Porter’s Five Forces
Introduction
Developed by Michael E. Porter, 1980.
Identified five competitive forces that shape every industry and market.
These forces determine the intensity of competition and hence profitability and attractiveness of industry.
1. Bargaining power of Suppliers Suppliers : All sources needed to
provide goods or services.
When is the Bargaining power high?
2. Bargaining power of Customers It determines how much customers can
impose pressure on margins and volumes.
When is the bargaining power high?
3. Threat of New Entrants
Higher the competition, easier for other companies to enter.
New entries depend on the barriers to entry.
4. Threat of Substitutes
Substitutes : Alternative products with lower prices of better performance parameters for the same purpose.
Can reduce potential sales volume for existing players.
What are the factors determining the Threat of Substitutes?
5. Competitive Rivalry
Describes the intensity of competition between existing players.
High competitiveness -> Pressure on prices, margins -> reduced profitability for every company
When is the competition high?
