1) The document discusses competitive analysis in the Turkish cement industry, which ranks fourth globally in production quantities. 2) It analyzes environmental factors affecting competition in the sector using Porter's Five Forces model through a questionnaire completed by members of the Cement Manufacturers of Turkey. 3) The analysis found that existing competitors in the industry intensify competition, customer replacement costs are high, and advantages exist independently of firm size. Supplier bargaining power is weak as cement manufacturers buy large material quantities.

1. Competitor Analysis
Competitive Analysis in Turkish Cement Industry
Turkish Cement Industry is the leader in Europe and ranks fourth in the World
according to production
quantities. Sector meets not only the domestic needs and the increased amount
of exports but also
generates an intensive employment potential in Turkish economy. Cement
producers have to analyze
environmental factors and develop respective strategies to be competitive in the
sector. Thus, the aim of
this research has been to answer the question of "What are the environmental
factors affecting
competition in the cement sector in Turkey?". Porter's Five Factor Analysis
model was used to form a
questionnaire consisting of 54 questions. The questionnaire was completed by
the member firms of
Cement Manufacturers of Turkey (CBRT). Twenty hypotheses have been
analyzed with the chi-square
fitness test and analysis results are discussed under the headings of the Five
Factor model.
Competition between existing competitors intensity
Porter [2] existing firms in the industry engaged in manufacturing
determining the intensity of the competition between
conditions are listed as follows:
• Outnumbered and / or coincide competitors
presence
• Industrial development is slow,
• Fixed costs and / or storage
costs are high,
• Differentiation or switching costs
absence
• increase capacity of large amounts of
Having
• Companies with different strategies to move,
• The presence of high exit barriers.

2. Replacement cost of the customer's company:
When you change the customer's company
How would face fixed costs
a new entrepreneur higher customer
the harder it is to win one.
Capital requirements: the industry's first entry into
investment costs to be large
a major obstacle for new entrepreneurs
can.
Advantages are independent of the size of residence:
Whatever the size of all existing firms
not included in the cost of potential competitors
and quality may have advantages.
