Porters Five Forces
Threat of new entrance is significantly high in Online
retail which can be seen by Amazon’s efforts in capturing the Indian Market
with significantly new players like Flipkart, Snapdeal, Paytm, etc. This has
resulted in Amazon changing its policies exclusively for the Indian market.
Amazon Overseas model operated on paid services and free services
differentiation, but in India they were forced to follow the free model due to
high competition. India, a growing market, has many online retail stores with
differentiation.
Bargaining Power of the Buyer is significantly very high in
Amazon’s case, the buyer will shift to the other online retails if the price
and service offered do not match the buyer's expectations. With the presence of
price comparison website, the buyer is directly influenced by the price
factors. Growing coupon code websites pose a real challenge for Amazon to offer
the service to match the current trends of the market. Social trends and ethnic
behavior are also the bargaining powers of the online buyer, for example,
scheme in Diwali, New Year, etc. This leads to additional investment for
advertisement, not only online but offline like newspaper and other traditional
media.
Power of Supplier is low to medium currently in the online
retail market, mainly the online retailers set the rule which has to be followed
by the suppliers. There has been a periodic growth in the rate of commissions
by the online retail market, but the suppliers have very little options to
oppose. Suppliers have also set the online dealer association but even that
could not function due to the formation of multiple associations.
Threat of substitute product has been significantly high,
buyers can easily switch to other online marketplaces and even the local store.
This was identified by Amazon and other online retail stores and they have
started to offer free delivery and even fast delivery in major cities that is
within a couple of hours.
