POSTER’S 5 FORCES MODEL (TIANXI
COMAPANY)
As one of the largest home appliance producers in Asia, TAINXI has quite some
control over suppliers which enables them to further lower down the bargaining
power of suppliers. A vertically integrated company which engages in the design,
manufacture, marketing, distribution, and after sales services of its own products,
TAINXI is able to exercise strict control over the quality of the supplies and
services provided.
POWER OF BUYERS
Power of buyers is very high, not only final consumers drives the quality and
innovation, also the middle-men and builders can and do exercise pressure on the
supplying firms to provide energy efficient, environmentally safe and high quality
products in low cost. Buyers want to place only high quality and well-known
brands in their stores.
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT
Threat of substitute products is very high, there are not much substitutes
available. Even if they are (e.g. Laundromats, fan industry) they are not powerful.
INTENSITY OF RIVALRY
There are two types of competitors for TIANXI in the market, i.e. manufacturers of
global brand such as (Electrolux, Siemens, GE, Merloni, Whirlpool, etc) and local
brand companies (Brandt, Candy, Miele, etc). Both of them have their targeted
clients and well-established reputation, though at different levels. The two
dominant parties have been in the market place for very long time, and
developed their own loyal customers, therefore, the rivalry among existing
Prepared by TIANXI. It would be very difficult for TIANXI to win the market share
from these competitors unless TIANXI can identify unique positioning in the
market and appeal to the clients.
The barriers to new entrants in home appliance industry are pretty high not only
because this sector is a typically capital intensive one but also due to the high
customer loyalty with brand preferences, therefore, the threat of entry is quite
low. Given that there are already multiple global brand products wrestling with
local products in household appliances market, the entry of a new brand such as
TIANXI into this market can prove to be extremely difficult. However, TIANXI’s
strength, as will be discussed later in this paper, in quality products, innovation,
first-class services, and environmental protection feature will turn out to be
advantages that help the company to crack into the market.
