High Huge capital investments required present substantial barriers to entry and achieving economies of scale Low The Indian cement market is oligopolistic in nature, characterised by tacit collusion, where large players partially control supply for better price discipline Positive Moderate Cement players have to depend on the railways for carriage outward and local coal companies for fuel, although diversification of freight options and fuel sources is diminishing the suppliers power Positive Neutral Market Attractiveness Low Cement, practically, has no substitutes Positive Positive Low Substantial market concentration among large players ensures low bargaining power of buyers Source : Aranca Research
