The economic dynamics of any industry are complex and highly intriguing. To fully comprehend the market and political forces that disrupt industries, industry and sector analysis studies are carried out. According to experts, this analysis is a strategic tool used by enterprises to either ascertain if a market is conducive to their portfolio of products and services, or ascertain what market forces are liable to disrupt the enterprises’ product strategies in the long run. External forces such as economic factors, supply chain, competitor strategies, and government regulations contribute to the formulation of industry and sector analysis. 

Modern industry and sector analysis implementations are largely based on the five-pointed force theory formulated by Michael Porter, management guru and a renowned authority on competitive advantage. According to Porter, the five market forces are:

• “Bargaining power of suppliers”
• “Bargaining power of buyers”
• “Threat of new entrants”
• “Threat of substitutes”
• “Rivalry among competitors”

Porter further states, “potential in the industry, where profit potential is measured in terms of long term return on invested capital." 

An industry and sector analysis aligned with your project is the first step in determining the overall feasibility of your project. Your project’s success in the marketplace hinges on the environment in where your potential customers, economic conditions, policies, and industry regulations intersect. In addition, the major stakeholders of your project have to incorporate thorough analysis of key industry and sector trends, and objectively assess business strategies, market dynamics, micro and macro economic conditions, etc.

As a result, your project would not only benefit from the quantitative interpretations on an industry or a sector, but also benefit from a qualitative interpretation of the same. Aligning your data with sources that are reliable and tested would help you formulate a sound strategy and a roadmap for future innovation and development.
