PORTER'S Five Forces:

Industry growth rate
The domestic car market remained buoyant and posted a healthy growth rate of 29 per cent, higher than 26 per cent achieved in the previous year (FY2009-10), which was substantially higher than what was anticipated at the beginning of the year.

The industry is capital and technology intensive. Huge investment is required; hence it is not easy to enter into automotive market.
For a new company, the start-up capital required to establish manufacturing capacity to achieve minimum efficient scale is prohibitive. Product differentiation and promotion supports new entrants. In the case of potential competitors, ease of entry will increase industry competitiveness and adversely affect profitability. New multinational players may enter the market. Organisations therefore create entry barriers with intent on keeping potential competitors out, and offering existing industry
