POSTER’S 5 FORCES MODEL (TIANXI
COMAPANY)

BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS


Most of the suppliers of household appliances are either located in Asia or some
central European countries. Considering that more and more companies tend to
find overseas suppliers to lower the production cost, the bargaining power of
suppliers is also quite low since their products are not unique and the switching
cost is quite low.

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.

According to the Porter's five forces analysis, TAINXI appliance industry is


moderately favorable or attractive. New player can enter the market and enjoy
profits.

There is basically no substitute to household appliances as people by any means


needs to cook, store fresh food or use the fridge functions. There are certain
products which have begun to have substitutes, such as computer and internet TV
becomes more and more popular among the young generation, however, it won’t
happen overnight that computer and internet can replace TV as it requires high
technological development in these areas which will take at least some years. To
sum up, by applying Porter Five Forces Model, we can arrive at the conclusion
that EU is one of the top markets for household appliances companies and
customers exhibit a clear pattern of assumption that is more focused on quality,
experience, and environmental protection.

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.

THRETA OF NEW ENTRY


Threat of new entrants is very high because heavy investment and sophisticated
R&D is required in appliance market and industry is matured with intense
competition, profitability is not lucrative for the new entrants. Brand loyalty also
plays an important role and big distribution network is required. Due to the
intense competition existing players will retaliate the new entrance. There are
many threats for new entrance to enter the home appliance industry.

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.
