Competition is already high as the industry is truly global in terms of competition with large producing countries like China significantly influencing global prices through aggressive exports Fragmentation will further increase rivalry in the domestic sector.
Bargaining power of suppliers is low for the fully integrated steel plants as they have their own mines of key raw material like iron ore coal for example Tata Steel. However, with smaller units coming up, bargaining power of suppliers might see a little improvement.
Threat of substitutes will further reduce as steel is already replacing its major substitute aluminium in a number of industries.
