Porters 5 Forces Analysis
• Here we are analysing the porter 5 forces analysis for the entire Toy industry which includes traditional products as well as construction products.
Threat of Substitutes (HIGH):• The highest pressure for Lego comes from substitute products like traditional toys or computer games
and modernization of kid’s entertainment• Substitutes come from the entire toy industry as well as the electronic gadget market.• There are no switching costs for substitutes and the prices of substitutes vary, the barrier to switch is
therefore low• Brands like Mega Bloks, Kre-o, Mattel etc have become direct competitors of Lego
Bargaining Power of Buyers (HIGH): • The pressure from customers is high as there is no switching cost involved for them ( in case of
individuals who buy from retailers)• Customers of Lego are retailers such as Wal-Mart or Toys”R”Us. These have the bargaining power over
lead times and price• For example, if Lego does not provide the toys quickly enough at Christmas, Wal-Mart could take Lego
out of the shelves

Continued..
Bargaining Power of Suppliers (HIGH): • Lego brick stones are made of plastic• Plastic is produced with oil and there is no chance for Lego to bargain with oil companies• Fluctuations in oil prices directly affect Lego’s margin
Threat of New Entrants (LOW): • The threat of new entrants is high because of some difficult entrance barriers• Big players like Mattel, Hasbro and Lego are benefitting from economies of scale which would be difficult to
achieve for new entrants• High brand equity, operation excellence and cutting edge technology required to gain a dominant position in
this industry• New entrants might have advantage in specific regional markets because of various factors like low
manufacturing costs, localization etc but difficult in overall industry
Competitive Rivalry within the Industry (HIGH): • There is Best-Lock from Hongkong and Mega Brands from Canada. Both compete with lego by low prices• Lego has a strong brand image and brand loyalty among customers and can charge premium prices. Lego has
therefore a critical competitive advantage over its competitors, as they cannot look back on such a long history• But due to many companies entering into the construction toys market from traditional toys, the rivalry within
the industry is increasingly high
