new car sales in america
DESCRIPTION
The new cars market has a large number of buyers. Although switching costs are low, and buyers price-sensitive, manufacturers have invested in brand building, which further weakens buyer power. Key inputs include commodities like steel, whose price may be difficult for manufacturers to control, as well as more differentiated products, such as fabricated components, and labor. The stagnation of major markets as a result of the global economic downturn, together with the high capital requirements for viable manufacturing scale, means that incumbents will generally not face much of a threat from new entrants. However, substitutes such as used cars and public transport are likely to offer a very strong threat to car makers. Years of consolidation have left relatively few players in this market, and concentration within particular geographical regions can be quite high. Competitive rivalry is likely to intensify over the next few years, as major players contend for their share of declining markets.TRANSCRIPT

A study on New Cars in the United States
The new cars market has a large number of buyers. Although switching costs are low, and buyers price-
sensitive, manufacturers have invested in brand building, which further weakens buyer power. Key inputs
include commodities like steel, whose price may be difficult for manufacturers to control, as well as more
differentiated products, such as fabricated components, and labor.
The stagnation of major markets as a result of the global economic downturn, together with the high capital
requirements for viable manufacturing scale, means that incumbents will generally not face much of a
threat from new entrants.
However, substitutes such as used cars and public transport are likely to offer a very strong threat to car
makers. Years of consolidation have left relatively few players in this market, and concentration within
particular geographical regions can be quite high. Competitive rivalry is likely to intensify over the next few
years, as major players contend for their share of declining markets.
