Supplier Power: Moderate
Suppliers in this industry are defined as people with technical and creative film-making skills. We assess this threat to be moderate since with technology, hand-drawn animation is being replaced by computer technology. In addition, the needs for these computer animation skills start to beoutsourced from North America to Asia Pacific where there are significant lower costs coupled with high quality computer animation production.
Barriers of Entry: High
The industry is dominated by a few key players (Sony, News Corporation,Disney and Time Warner). With the lack of access to distribution channels andthe intense capital needed to create “blockbuster” films and hire famousactors, it is very difficult for a new player to enter the market.
Buyer Power: Moderate
