Introduction
• The Five Forces Model was developed by Michael E. Porter to help companies assess the nature of an industry’s competitiveness and develop corporate strategies accordingly.
• The strength of the five forces will determine the level of profit within an industry that a competitor can expect to make
• Through his model, Porter classifies five main competitive forces that affect any market and all industries. It is these forces that determine how much competition will exist in a market and consequently the profitability and attractiveness of this market for a company. Through sound corporate strategies, a company will aim to shape these forces to its advantage to strengthen the organizations position in the industry.

Introduction• This model aimed to provide a new way to use effective strategy to identify, analyze
and manage external factors in an organization’s environment.
• Porter’s five forces model is an analysis tool that uses five industry forces to determine the intensity of competition in an industry and its profitability level.
• An attractive market place does not mean that all companies will enjoy similar success levels. Rather, the unique selling propositions, strategies and processes will put one company over the other.
• The Five Forces were Porter’s conclusions on the reasons for differing levels of competition, and hence profitability, in differing industries. They are empirically derived, i.e. by observation of real companies in real markets, rather than the result of economic analysis.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
Bargaining Power of
Customers
Threat of New
Entrants
Threat of Substitutes
Competitive Rivalry
within an Industry
Threat of New Entry- Time and cost of entry- Specialist knowledge- Economics of Scale- Cost advantage- Technology protection- Barriers to entry
Competitive Rivalry- Number of competitors- Quality difference- Other difference- Switching costs- Customer loyalty
Buyer Power- Number of customers- Size of each orders- Differences between
competitors- Price sensitivity- Ability to substitute- Cost of changing
Supplier Power- Number of suppliers- Size of suppliers- Uniqueness of service- Your ability to substitute- Cost of changing
Threat of Substitute- Substitute performance- Cost of change
Competitive Rivalry within an Industry• This force is the major determinant on how competitive and profitable
an industry is. In competitive industry, firms have to compete aggressively for a market share, which results in low profits. Rivalry among competitors is intense when:
- There are many competitors- Exit barriers are high- Industry growth is slow or negative- Products are not differentiated and can be easily substituted- Competitors are of equal size- Low customer loyalty
Competitive Rivalry within an Industry - Example
McDonald’s faces tough competition because the fast food restaurant market is already saturated. This element of the Five Forces analysis tackles the effect of competing firms in the industry environment. In McDonald’s case, the strong force of competitive rivalry is based on the following external factors:
High number of firms (strong force)High aggressiveness of firms (strong force)Low switching costs (strong force)
The fast food restaurant industry has many firms of various sizes, such as global chains like McDonald’s, KFC and local fast food restaurants and road side stops (vada pav) . Also, most medium and large firms aggressively market their products. In addition, McDonald’s customers experience low switching costs, which means that they can easily transfer to other restaurants. Thus, this element of the Five Forces analysis of McDonald’s shows that competition is among the most significant external forces on the business.
Bargaining Power of Suppliers
• Strong bargaining power allows suppliers to sell higher priced or low quality raw materials to their buyers. This directly affects the buying firms’ profits because it has to pay more for materials. Suppliers have strong bargaining power when:
- There are few suppliers but many buyers- Suppliers are large and threaten to forward integrate- Few substitute raw materials exist- Suppliers hold scarce resources- Cost of switching raw materials is especially high.
Example of Suppliers also influence the competiveness of an industry
• The bargaining power of Toyota’s supplier is Weak
• Toyota has many suppliers in its automotive manufacturing sector. Resources like metal, raw materials, leather, plastic, computers, cooling system, electrical system, breaking system and fuel supply system are all bought from hundreds of different suppliers and different bargaining prices distributed across the globe.
• One of the competitive advantages of Toyota is its strong relationship with the suppliers and its efficient manner of monitoring supply chain places low bargaining power on the suppliers.
• In addition most vehicle manufactures own many interchangeable suppliers, and also have the ability to produce the components by their own in the short time. Thus, the suppliers do not own the power to change the price.
Bargaining Power of Buyer• Customers have the power to demand lower price or
higher product quality from industry producers when their bargaining power is strong. Lower price means lower revenues for the producer, while higher quality products usually raise production costs. Both scenarios result in lower profits for producers. Customers exert strong bargaining power when:
- Buying in large quantities or control many access points to the final customer
- Only few customers exist- Switching costs to other supplier are low- They threaten to backward integrate- There are many substitutes- Customers are price sensitive
Example of Bargaining power of Buyer
Depends on the marketing channel used for Coca-Cola
1. Super Markets2. Convenience Stores3. Soda Shop4. Vending Machine5. Restaurant and Food stores
Bargaining power of buyer is high for fountain supermarkets and mass merchandising because of the low profitability and strong negotiation power of retail channels but for vending machine bargaining power is non-existing caused by high profitability.
Threat of New Entrants
• This force determines how easy (or not) it is to enter a particular industry. If an industry is profitable and there are few barriers to enter, rivalry soon intensifies. When more organizations compete for the same market share, profits start to fall. It is essential for existing organizations to create high barriers to enter to deter new entrants. Threat of new entrants is high when:
- Low amount of capital is required to enter a market- Existing companies can do little to retaliate- Existing firms do not possess patents, trademarks or do not have
established brand reputation- There is no government regulation- There is low customer loyalty- Products are nearly identical- Economies of scale can be easily achieved
Example of Threat of New Entrant – Entry of Reliance JIO Telecommunications
1. Jio has grown at a scorching pace:-the network, which has been adding 1-1.2 million subscribers a day, will likely have 25 million 4G customers.
2. Jio has set off a fierce mobile tariff war in the country:3. Jio is hurting the balance sheets of other telecom companies: Airtel saw a
4.9% decline in its Q2 profit following the operator slashing data tariffs.4. Jio is forcing the other players to join forces:-Vodafone and Idea Merger5. Jio could impact the online content market in India:-The Jio suite offers
more than 300 live streaming TV channels and hundreds of music albums and movies. This forces other incumbents to up their game in the online video streaming space.
• This force is especially threatening when buyers can easily find substitute products with attractive prices or better quality and when buyers can switch from one product or service to another with little cost. For example, to switch from coffee to tea doesn’t cost anything, unlike switching from car to bicycle.
• Determining Factors :- First, if the consumer’s switching costs are low Second, if the substitute product is cheaper than the industry’s product Third, if the substitute product is of equal or superior quality compared to the
industry’s product, the threat of substitutes is high Fourth, if the functions, attributes, or performance of the substitute product are
equal or superior to the industry’s product
Threat of Substitutes
• EXAMPLE – THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY• From the point of view of airlines themselves, the flying business is very competitive.
There are hundreds of airlines all trying to get a bigger piece of the pie. Global recessions have also meant cost cutting exercises for most airlines in the industry and often less travel in the part of consumers.
• Depending on the nature of the airline’s business, the threat of substitutes can range from lower on the scale to mid-range.
• For domestic or regional airlines or routes, there is always the option of taking a car, bus or train. It may take longer but often this consideration is outweighed by the cost advantages of substitute methods
• There is also no switching cost to deal with.• In the case of international airlines, the threat of substitutes is almost non-existent• On longer routes, a traveler needs to take a flight with no possible alternates• Threat here is from competitors who may offer better rewards, better prices or a better
flying experience• There is also somewhat of a switching cost

Porter's Five Forces Of Auto Industry
Competitive Rivalry - (High)
Competitive rivalry has increased post liberalization to a great extent The automotive industry is majorly commanded by domestic player, with an
immense market share in the country during FY 15-16
• The competition has turned more intense after the entry of foreign players like Volkswagen and Ford in low- priced hatchback segment
• Foreign firms have aggravated the competition by changing their traditional designs and substituting it to cater Indian needs
Porter's Five Forces Of Auto Industry – Passenger Car
Threat of New Entrants - (Medium - High) Economies of Scale and Capital requirement Brand identity, Product Differentiation and Customer
Switching Costs Other factors like access to raw material, technology and
distribution channel Government policies and protection for the sector
– 100 % FDI in the automotive industry
Porter's Five Forces Of Auto Industry
Substitute Products - (High) Scenario of Indian Travel Industry
– Rail & Air Travel – 10%– Road Travel -90%– Two Wheleer – 72%– Passenger Vehicle (Cars, Jeeps & Taxi’s) – 14%– Public Transport Buses & Non Passenger Vehicle – 14%
Availability of close subsititue Switching Cost Substitute price and value
Porter's Five Forces Of Auto Industry
Bargaining Power of Suppliers - (Low) • Number of Supplier: – More than 500 auto component manufacturers in the organized
sector represented by ACMA (Automotive Components Manufacturer's Association of India)
– 5000 manufacturers in the unorganized sector • Import from Nations with Free Trade Agreement & Low
Import Duties– Japan, South Korea, Thailand, China, Malaysia & South Africa
Porter's Five Forces Of Auto Industry
Bargaining Power of Buyer- (High) Number of Potential Buyer – Huge Changing Preferences, Income Graph Low switching Cost
– Very Few Established Players– Brand Loyalty is low – Launch of New Models every Year

Bargaining Power of Buyer High High, Will rise
Bargaining Power of Supplier Low Moderate
Strategies Adopted by the Auto Industry based on the Analysis
• Capacity addition Considering low cost of production, prominent auto companies are increasing their production
capacity in order to capture a dominant share in Indian automobile industry. Most of the automobile companies are eyeing India as an outsourcing hub. With the total investment of around USD163.7 million, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India expanded
its production of Activa in 3 variants at Ahmedabad plant.
Launch of new models In 2015-16, few of the newly launched cars were Volkswagen Ameo, Mahindra e-Verito, Toyota Land
Cruiser 200, Maruti Baleno, Honda BR-V, Tata Tiago, Toyota Innova Crysta & Maruti Ciaz & under premium range Audi Q7, Audi S5 Sportback, Ford Mustang, Rolls-Royce Dawn & Porsche 911.
Honda is planning to introduce bigger & premium car models in 2017 to uplift its sales & share in the market
In December 2016, Bajaj Auto launched its most powerful bike in the segment, ‘Bajaj Dominar 400’ Fiat Chrysler Automobiles India, is planning to launch its new Jeep brand Compass by February
2017, which is going to be produced indigenously in Ranjangaon,, Maharashtra. India will be the 4th manufacturing hub, globally, for the brand.
• Marketing & advertisement Each & every firm is now focusing on shelling out a chunk of their profits on
advertisement The idea is to make the customers more brand conscious & increasing
brand positioning This is giving the firms differential advantage. Success today lies in
structuring & restructuring strategies Catering Indian needs India boasts a large population of middle class Most of the firms including Ford & Volkswagen have adapted themselves to
cater to this class by dropping their traditional structure and designs This allows them to compete directly with domestic firms making the
sector highly competitive

How to Deal with Competition
Using The Tools
• We now understand that Porter’s five forces framework is used to analyze industry’s competitive forces and to shape organization’s strategy according to the results of the analysis. But how to use this tool? We have identified the following steps:
• Step 1. Gather the information on each of the five forces• Step 2. Analyze the results and display them on a diagram• Step 3. Formulate strategies based on the conclusions
Navigating the Model Development: Before, During and AfterIt is beneficial for a company working on a Porter’s five forces analysis to maintain an analytical frame of mind before the process begins, during the process and after everything has been completed. Some aspects to keep in mind are:
Before
Understand the goals of the analysis and expectations from it
Understand the scope of the analysis and who are the potential beneficiaries
Allow open and honest brainstorming session regarding these questions.
During
Keep a focus on the future
Do not focus on what could’ve been done better in the past, but focus on future improvements
Analyze positives and negatives
Be open to new ideas and possibilities
After
Identify lessons learnt and how they can be used in the future
Document positives and negatives. Identify best practices
Understand whether the analysis had the required impact
Follow up on implementation plans
Record information from the analysis to be used in future decisions
