The five forces are as follows:

Competitive rivalry

Threat of new entries

1. Bargaining power of suppliers: Adbri Limited has a MODERATE bargaining power of suppliers. This is because the company has a number of suppliers, which gives it some negotiating power. However, the company is also reliant on these suppliers for raw materials, which gives them some leverage.

2. Bargaining power of buyers: Adbri Limited has a MODERATE bargaining power of buyers. This is because the company has a number of customers, which gives it some negotiating power. However, the company is also reliant on these customers for revenue, which gives them some leverage.

3. Threat of substitutes: Adbri Limited has a LOW threat of substitutes. This is because the company offers a unique product that is not easily replaced.

4. Threat of new entrants: Adbri Limited has a MODERATE threat of new entrants. This is because the company has a number of barriers to entry, such as its brand reputation and economies of scale. However, the company faces some competition from new entrants.

5. Competitive rivalry: Adbri Limited has a HIGH competitive rivalry. This is because the company faces a lot of competition from other companies in the same industry.

Innovation Scorecard

As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.

First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.

A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.

Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.

Below is a guide to each score:

A	The industry is amongst the most innovative; with the leading players all driving the sector forward. Example industry: PaaS
B	The industry and its leading players have a good track record of innovation; and can quickly react to change. Example industry: Pharmaceutical
C	Companies operating within the sector have adequate levels of innovation; and engage in R&D activities when appropriate. Example industry: FMCG
D	Businesses operating in the industry do not invest enough time and resource into innovation. The sector is stagnant and a good candidate for disruption. Example industry: Retail Banking
E	The major players in the sector seem to lack suitable product development roadmaps; and as a result the sector is highly vulnerable to industry change. Example industry: Publishing

Company score:

1	The business is amongst the leading players in terms innovation and product pipeline. This will fulfil and reinforce the operations of the business in the medium to long-term.
2	The business has a good track record of innovation, in terms of its products and/or its business model. It is therefore more likely to be able to react and adapt to any changes to the industry.
