PORTES FIVE ANALYSIS

Bargaining Power of Suppliers: low


The bargaining power of OPPO suppliers is low. Its products
are made globally in 12 countries in 590 factories. While individual
suppliers are small in size, they do not have the ability of forward
integration either. This reduces the chances of competition from
suppliers. Moreover, the number of suppliers is high and they are
scattered throughout the world. It is why individual suppliers
cannot exert any pressure on OPPO. The brand sets standards for
its suppliers to comply with. If a supplier does not meet to the
standards, OPPO can easily switch to another. However, in such a
case, the supplier would be losing a major source of revenue.
Overall, OPPO holds strong control over its suppliers and audits
them regularly.
Bargaining power of buyers: low to
moderate
The bargaining power of Nike’s buyers is low to
moderate. The number of its competitors is not so small and
not very large. Apart from Samsung and IPHONE there are
other competitors like VIVO and Panasonic. There are many
other local and international brands also that compete with
OPPO. The switching costs for customers are low. To some
extent this force is moderated by the quality and marketing
of OPPO’s products. OPPO focuses on performance ,design
and the beauty of technology. It is why it has been able to
build good customer loyalty. This reduces the bargaining
power of individual buyers which is low to moderate.
Threat of substitutes: low to moderate

The threat of substitute products is moderate for


OPPO. It is because a large number of competing
brands make similar or matching products. There are
several brands in local and international markets that
make low priced smartphone compared to OPPO.
These brands offer lower priced substitute products
for OPPO. To some extent this threat is moderated by
the quality and design of OPPO products. Overall, the
threat from substitute products is moderate.
Threat of new entrants: Low

The threat of new entrants for OPPO can be considered low to


moderate. It is because while the investment for starting the business
is not very large, still there are other requirements that are not easy to
fulfil. Apart from production, there are marketing, distribution and
supply chain management that require investment, skilled workers
and time. Building a brand image and equity are also difficult. These
factors moderate the threat from the new entrants. For any new
brand, it is not possible to create the kind of brand image like OPPO in
a short span of time. It takes time, efforts and capital investment.
OPPO’s strong position in the market mitigates the threat to a large
extent. Based on these factors the threat from new entrants is low.
Level of Competitive Rivalry: Strong
 
The level of competition in the sports industry is strong.
Some of the major competitors of OPPO are Huawei,
IPHONE and Samsung. The industry has grown saturated
and the existing players are engaged in tough competition
for deeper market penetration and to snatch away market
share from each other. Brands invest a lot in marketing and
other things. The number of top players and direct
competitors of OPPO is low, however that makes the
competition even intense. Overall, the level of competition
in the industry is strong.
