Porter’s Five Forces Analysis: Global
Supplier Power
-
Fairly consolidated feedstock supply base renders a high negotiating power
-
The resin makers are influential, in terms of volume and technology leadership, in making compatible resins
-
However, the base resin price is regulated by the market and balances out the power
Barriers to New Entrants
-
High capital investment, to achieve economies of scale, delays the break-even point for newcomers
-
However, the fragmented nature of the industry could allow an easier access for new suppliers with investing capabilities to enter the market
Intensity of Rivalry
-
The market is fragmented, with a very large number of suppliers operating, leading to an intense rivalry
-
With the scope for innovation, suppliers are investing in product differentiations and customization to stay ahead of the competition
Threat of Substitutes

Substitutes, like tetra packs and flexible pouches, pose a sense of replacement threat to plastic bottles, especially in home care and personal care space
Buyer Power
-
Large chemical and beverage companies are in a better negotiating position, due to their strong presence and large buying capacity
-
In addition, buyers are generally large global customers who have broader reach for bottle sourcing
-
Since innovations are driven by suppliers, it balances the power in the industry

-
In APAC, the HDPE and PET prices are expected to increase around 15 percent in the short term due to the increased demand from the various end-user industries during the recovery phase post pandemic
-
Raw material contributes to around5 50-60 percent of the Blow-Molded bottles cost in the EU and APAC and it’s a major cost driver, followed by fixed and labor cost
-
HDPE and PET has a solid supply in almost all the regions due to the surplus supply of the resins
-
