NOTE: There is not a ready-made Five Forces analysis available for every industry. If you can't find one, consider searching for a related industry and evaluate whether or not the same factors apply to the industry you're researching. Even for an industry with an existing Five Forces analysis, the researcher should consider expanding or updating the analysis. In locating related industries, also remember to look up and down the supply chain, e.g., the bargaining power of your industry may be identified as a buyer or supplier to another industry.
