Industry Analysis – Porter’s Five Forces
Threat of new entrants: Low
• Threat of new entrants is controlled by RBI giving
licences and it is not controlled by market forces (only
2/25 applicants were granted in 2014).
• INR 500 crore is required to open a bank.
• Economies of scale – supply side and demand side
benefits are significant.
• There are incumbency advantages irrespective of size.
• Switching costs are moderate (in terms of effort and
time).

Commercial bank branches (per 100,000 adults) Bargaining buyer of suppliers:
Moderate
• Investors who are ready to bear
high risk have higher return
options like equity and real
estate while risk averse investors
prefer banks.
• The reach of banks is widest
amongst the different
instruments.

Threat of Substitutes: Moderate
• Real Estate, Gold, Bonds, Equity, hybrid financial
instruments
Deposit Side – equity returns are higher than banks, Gold
returns have also been higher and culturally are investing
in gold and real estate as they provide tangible feel to an
asset.
Lending Side – Retail borrowers do not have many
substitutes. Corporate borrowers have the options of
corporate bond markets.

•Inflation around or less than
5-6%,
•Major push toward
domestic investment by the

consumption expenditure
because of higher outlay on

and 7th pay commission
•Power sector reforms &
liberalization of FDI norms
•Weakness in private
investment and asset
quality strain in banking will
prevent full fledged
recovery in growth
•Risks are present in form of
wider emerging markets

Weakness
HDFC cannot enjoy first mover
advantage in rural areas. Other
major competitors like SBI, ICICI
and other nationalised banks have
huge penetration for a very long
time. Rural people are hard core
loyals in terms of banking services
Since it’s non nationalized bank,
many government key accounts
like GOI, state governments. Tax
departments, excise departments,
PSUs are held by SBI or similar
PSBs.
Weaker support by both national
government, RBI and
international govt. for
international branch expansion.
SBI and EXIM has always been
given preferences.
