• The intensity of rivalry in a marketplace or industry.
• The bargaining power of buyers in the industry.
• The bargaining power of suppliers.
• Exit and entry barriers to the industry itself.
• Substitute products available to consumers and the exposure the company experiences should customers switch to substitute products.
