Market Trends

Market trends can impact an organisation by influencing consumer behavior, altering supply and demand dynamics, and affecting the organisation's ability to remain competitive in the market.

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:

Increasing Demand for Sustainable Steel: Beijing Shougang's steel production is likely to be impacted by the increasing demand for sustainable steel. Sustainable steel is a type of steel that has been produced using renewable or recycled materials, or using production processes that reduce their environmental impact. This trend is likely to drive up the cost of steel production, which could impact Beijing Shougang's profits.

Growing Demand for Electric Vehicles: Beijing Shougang is likely to be impacted by the growing demand for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles require specific types of steel, such as high-strength steel, which Beijing Shougang may not be able to produce. This could impact their ability to meet the demands of the electric vehicle industry.

Rising labour Costs: Beijing Shougang may also be impacted by the rising labour costs in China. This could lead to higher production costs and could make it difficult for the company to remain competitive.

Increasing Global Competition: Beijing Shougang is likely to face increasing competition from other steel producers around the world. This could lead to lower prices and decreased profits for the company.

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:

Industry 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.
