External Environment Analysis

5. Threat of New Entrants
• Largely unregulated
industry for renting
movies
• High content acquisition
cost is the primary
barrier to entry in this
industry
• Netflix has to keep on
maintaining the rising
popularity of e-
commerce such as an
improvement and
enhancing their
inventory of stream
movies and HD
streaming inventory
Industry Rivalry
• Netflix is currently up
against 29 other over-
the-top (OTT) content
providers in India
including Hotstar,
Youtube and Amazon
• This industry seems to
be evolving in such a
way that consumers
may subscribe for
multiple service
providers
Bargaining Power of
Buyers
• The business-model
provides customers
large amount of
bargaining power
• Customers may cancel
anytime without
termination fee and can
also enjoy free
subscription for a
month
• The low price and high
amount of content
available through Netflix
creates competitive
advantage compared to
traditional media outlets
• Consumers are
extremely price
sensitive and at risk of
abandoning Netflix over
relatively incremental
price increases
Bargaining power of
suppliers
• Netflix is dependent on
studios / Production
houses for the content
they require to provide
to customers
• Netflix also has their
own content and
targeting global content
to Indian consumers
• Different suppliers have
different content to
offer, hence, even
though there are
various big players in
the content licensing
industry
Threat of substitutes
• For most homes in
India, Digital cable is
now necessary,
therefore many
customers will have a
film collection from
their cable network
• “On Demand,” Services
offered by cable
television providers
might be a substitute
for Netflix if they
increase their movie
stock list to a similar
title selection.
• One of the major threat
is the vast and open
Internet where anyone
can find movies
illegally for free.
