Porter's Five Forces model is a framework for analyzing competition within an industry. It examines five competitive forces: the threat of new entrants, the bargaining power of suppliers, the bargaining power of buyers, the threat of substitute products, and rivalry among existing competitors. Understanding these forces helps determine an industry's profitability and identify its strengths and weaknesses.

Porter 5 forces model
• Porter’s Five Forces analysis is a framework that
helps analyzing the level of competition within a certain industry. It is especially useful when starting a new business or when entering a new industry sector. Threat of new entrants
• New entrants in an industry bring new capacity
and the desire to gain market share. The seriousness of the threat depends on the barriers to enter a certain industry. The higher these barriers to entry, the smaller the threat for existing players. E.g Airline Industry • Economies of scale • Barriers to entry • Government policies Bargaining power of suppliers
• This force analyzes how much power and control
a company’s supplier (also known as the market of inputs) has over the potential to raise its prices or to reduce the quality of purchased goods or services, which in turn would lower an industry’s profitability potential. E.g. Airline Industry Bargaining power of buyers
• The bargaining power of buyers is also described
as the market of outputs. This force analyzes to what extent the customers are able to put the company under pressure, which also affects the customer’s sensitivity to price changes. The customers have a lot of power when there aren’t many of them and when the customers have many alternatives to buy from e.g Airline Industry Threat of substitute products
• The existence of products outside of the realm of
the common product boundaries increases the propensity of customers to switch to alternatives. In order to discover these alternatives one should look beyond similar products that are branded differently by competitors. Instead, every product that serves a similar need for customers should be taken into account. E.g Red bull/Coffee Rivalry among existing competitors • The last force of the Porter’s Five Forces examines how intense the current competition is in the marketplace, which is determined by the number of existing competitors and what each competitor is capable of doing. Rivalry is high when there are a lot of competitors that are roughly equal in size and power, when the industry is growing slowly and when consumers can easily switch to a competitors offering for little cost
