Porter five forces.
Potential new entrants.
The home furnishing market is a big market with many players. IKEA is one of the biggest players in the market especially in Europe. The threats of new entrants is reduced by the tremendous amount of money needed to start up a home furnishing shop. IKEA has a big advantage to other home furnishing shops, they don’t just sell furnish but also kitchen and home accessories.

Its also hard for consumers to find the same service and quality in a product for a price as low as IKEAs prices. IKEA has another advantage, they are know for their
