INDUSTRIAL ANALYSIS- FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
PORTER’S FIVE FORCES MODEL
Threat Of Entry
First and foremost threat of entering a new market is the loyalty towards current brand in the market. China’s IT industry is present with a distinctive trait of vertical integration. Current PC companies have achieved enough loyal customers and have been maintaining their market status while stopping them from entering the market. Lenovo has been covering one-third of the market share for PC industry in China and also leading in all the other segments. It is stimulating for the new entrance to stake their economies of scale. Moreover, there is a huge amount of investment in Research and Development in PC industry, which might not attract new entrants to this market.
