- Threat of substitute products or services – It will be high when there are many alternatives to a product or service and it will remain low when there are very few alternatives from which to choose.
- Threat of new entrants – It will be high when it becomes easy for new competitors to enter a market and it will remain low when there are some entry barriers to enter a market.
- Rivalry among existing competitors – It will be high when the competition is fierce in the market and it will remain low when competition becomes more complacent.
