Electric Equipments Industry

Electricity is part and parcel of daily existence. In recent years, the rise in
power production, delivery, and usage has resulted in increased demand for
electrical machinery and equipment. The Electrical Equipment Sector is
made up of companies that manufacture a variety of goods for a wide
customer base. Items include electric motors, commercial and industrial
lighting devices, systems and parts for heating, ventilation and air
conditioning, and, among others, electrical power appliances. The industry
covers every corner of the globe, and is sensitive to the macroeconomic
cycle's effect.
The sector of electrical appliances is one of the fastest rising divisions on the
Indian economy. In India, this industry expanded at a steady rate, led by
both large and small appliances; in 2018, the growth of large appliances was
marginally higher than of small appliances. In 2017-18, the electrical
equipment sector reported a double-digit high growth of 12.8 percent.
The new economy and growing habits of Indian customers are contributing
to a rise in the number of employed people, nuclear families and single-
person households coupled with the relocation of the workforce population.
Such evolving households are also constantly in search of accessibility and
are searching for goods that provide comfort and substantially reduce the
time and energy expended on everyday chores.
But, looking at the present situation of COVID-19 pandemic, this industry is
suffering a lot. As the manufacturing units of many companies are closed
down and the distribution is also at a stagnant position because of lockdown,
this industry won’t grow as it was forecasted earlier. Moreover, the
consumers are not looking to purchase electrical appliances as of now. The
industry will not start growing before the pandemic is over.

Porter’s Five Forces: Porter's Five Forces is a framework that defines and
analyzes five competitive forces that shape the market, helping to identify
the weaknesses and strengths of an industry. Porter's model can be extended
to any sector of the economy to understand the level of market rivalry and
boost the long-term productivity of a business.

i) Competitive Rivalry: Many players are expanding into new


geographies and categories. Moreover, the existing players are very
fierce and have earnt a huge customer base. So, the competitive rivalry
is high.

ii) Bargaining Power of Suppliers: Supplier control is low, and the


conditions are determined by appliance firms. They are demanding
better goods from the manufacturers and adopting JIT principles.
Manufacturers have the sole manufacturer arrangements and
partnership.

iii) Bargaining Power of Buyers: The power of the buyers is extremely


high, not only can the final customers push efficiency and creativity,
but even the intermediaries and builders may and can put pressure on
the supplying firms to deliver low-cost energy-efficient,
environmentally friendly and good-quality goods. Buyers only want
well-known and good quality products.

iv) Threat of New Entrants: New entrants' threat is very low as there is a
need for massive investments and advanced R&D in the appliance
sector and business is matured with severe rivalry, profitability is not
lucrative for the new entrants. Brand loyalty still plays a significant
role and involves broad distribution network. Because of the strong
rivalry the latest entry is being retaliated by established teams.

v) Threat of Substitutes: Threat of substitute products is very low, as


there are almost no substitutes available in the market. So, people
cannot switch to substitutes.
