As part of this study, we have identified a number of potential short-term to medium-term trends that could impact the organisation. These include the following:

Rise of Low-Cost Carriers: Low-cost carriers are increasingly capturing a larger share of the market, making it more difficult for traditional airlines like All Nippon Airways to compete on price. This trend is likely to continue, putting pressure on ANA to find ways to offer competitive fares while still maintaining their high level of service.

Technology Advancements: Technology advancements are allowing airlines to become more efficient, reducing costs and allowing them to offer more personalised services to their customers. ANA must keep up with these changes in order to stay competitive and provide the best experience possible for its customers.

Increased Competition: With the emergence of new airlines and the liberalization of the international aviation market, competition is becoming more intense. ANA must find ways to differentiate itself from its competitors in order to remain relevant and attractive to consumers.

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.
