Bargaining power of buyers (High)
High availability of auto mobile companies in UK' market increases bargaining power of
buyers. For example there are various auto mobile companies like Fiat Chrysler sells similar
product like maserati, jeep, ram, fiat, lancia etc. at different prices that brings opportunity for
buyers because they get alternative options to buy products. So, they go only those retail
companies which offers product with high quality at minimum price which directly impact on
Fiat Chrysler profitability. It denotes that bargaining power of suppliers is too high, so they
always seek for discounts and offers (Oertwig and et.al., 2017).
Threats of new entrants
Threats of new entrant is lower because there are big four companies like Ford, Toyota which
already has established good brand image in the UK's market and sells wide line product to the
customer and have captured good market share over its products In the auto-mobile industry. So,
it will be difficult for the new entrant to establish their business or in a case if the new entrant
open it's business. In that state new entrants initially has to sell good quality product at lower
price but it is not possible for the new entrants because general motors already sells vehicle
product with high discounts. Overall, there is very less threat of new entrants in retail industry.
Threats of substitute product or services (Moderate)
Threats of substitute product is moderate because most of the retail companies i.e. Fiat Chrysler ,
Toyota and Ford posses' wide product line and services which meets all customer's needs and
expectations. Still, there has very fewer threats of substitute product and services for the Fiat
Chrysler . However, Fiat Chrysler always try to lead innovation in it's existing product and
improves customer's shopping experience. But it can get threat from Tesla in future because it
also posses similar product like Fiat Chrysler but still planning to introduce new features in it's
existing product portfolio.
Rivalry among the existing competitors (Low)
Fiat Chrysler has established strong brand presence in the UK's retail industry so it is considered
one of the most powerful competitions for auto-mobile companies. Fiat Chrysler is act as market
leader in the business because it offers product at lower price so but it is highly pressurized from
the nearest rivals in term of price wars that has introduced by Tesla and Toyota which directly
affects profit margin of Fiat Chrysler (Mukherjee, 2018).
